OFFICIAL SCOTLAND v THE FROGS THREAD

Here it is the big one. Can we get a result away that just might inch us closer to the Finals.

 

cannie wait i think uefa have a free stream in the uk for those without sky

 

a wee draw will be smashin

 

I think a point could be up for grabs aslong as we defend the flanks well

 

That would be handy...must keep a look out for that

 

I would play this team:

Gordon


Hutton--Mcmanus--weir--Mceveley

Mcfadden--Brown--Ferguson--Fletcher--Maloney


Boyd
​

 

gaff thats the team i'd play. though i dont think you'll see maloney in there.
dono about boyd on his own up front. useless unless we get the ball to him inside the box.
O'Conner maybe
i would also prefer caldwell to weir. but again, i dont see it happening. all in all, weir aint bad in the air. but SLOW

 

i recon we can keep them at 0-0.
they are without henry. though, lets face it, they have a MASS of quality.

 

Gordon

Hutton - Weir - Mick - McEveley

Caldwell

Fletcher - Brown - Captain Hun - McCulloch

O'Connor

 

think oconner is the best bet up front as boyds a lazy sod. saying that if we did get a chance i'd prefer boyd on the end of it.

would like to se us have a go but think we will just go into siege mentality from the off. 0-0 our best hope i'd say. a win and it'd be dream land..

 

Tough one to call. If we can get out of there with a point then its job well done especially with the way the groups shaping up...if we win well thats another story that isn't it?

 

Its "have 25 pairs of spare pants" time. Anyone remember the Barca v Celts UEFA cup game where we got battered but hung on? Its gonna be a bit like that...cant wait....I think.

 

well... fortunatly, but more so unfortunatly i'll be working so wont know the score till the morning time sad because i'll not be able to see the game

 

it'll be the toughest match they have played in the group,even without henry they are formidable! they will have all the posession and we will constantly be on the backfoot,if we get a chance we will have to take
it so id play boyd up top

 

GORDON
HUTTON MICK WEIR MCEEVELY
FLETCHER MCFADDEN BROWN FERGUSON HARTLEY
OCONNER

 

Gordon


Hutton--Mcmanus--Weir--Mceveley

Brown--Hartley--Ferguson--Fletcher--McFadden


Boyd

 

Would rather have Maloney start purely for his deadball skills. I think Caldwell may well get the sitting role in midfield.

A nice 0-0 will do me nicely.

C'mon the boys!

 

cant play boyd up there himself, nae pace against the likes of gallas and co.

gordon

hutton mcmanus galdwell mcelevy (really wish robson or wilson played b4 mcelevy cos i dont rate him)

hartley fletcher brown ferguson maloney

mcfadden

 

Gordon

Hutton--Mcmanus--Caldwell--McEveley

Mcfadden--Brown--Ferguson--Fletcher--Maloney

O'Connor

But Weir will start, Maloney and possible Faddy on the bench with Teale and McCulloch saly taking thier places

 

BEST CASE SENARIO:
we beat france, italy/ukraine draw






Scotland 9 21
france 9 19
italy 9 18
ukraine 8 14

thats how the table would look- with 3 games remaining. 3 hard games
gerogia aint a bunch of mugs.
ukraine are a quality side
italy, well there the world champs.

but the hard two games are home games which is obviously to our advantage.
imo we really do need other results to go our way, draws etc with italy and ukraine

i think ukraine home willbe a very hard game, as will italy.
georgeia we might be expecting to beat now
but if ukraine or the tally's beat us at hampden we can kiss qualification good bye.
