The Scotland Thread

Recommended Posts

Just checked the True Visions website. Not on! :D England v Russia is on Star Sports instead. Can't believe it, Star showing such a dull match over what will be an awesome game between group leaders France and Scotland!!

england v russia is live on BBC Scotland too. :o:D:D

why would we want to watch wank lampard & co when we're playing the world cup finalists?

thankfully sky saves the day.

I think that England are lucky not to play Scotland!!!

Would love England's group!!

We'd welcome you with open arms for an easy 6 points....but hey, well done for last night against a French side that's a former shadow of themselves...great goal as well

Absolutely :o The Haggis eaters are over excited by a lucky result. From all accounts the frogs where all over them. But well done any way :D

Maybe against the run of play. But so what. A wins a win.

granted, the french had plenty of the ball but they never really carved us open. we were so well organised. :o

I can remember 2 clear-cut chances they had - ribery pulled it back for anelka & ribery did a one-two with trezeguet before shooting. both chances were saved comfortably by the outstanding craig gordon.

Ronaldo, Luis Figo and James McFadden are standing before God at the

throne of Heaven.

God looks at them and says; "before granting you a place at my side, I

must first ask you what you believe in."

Addressing Ronaldo first he asks, "what do you believe?"

Ronaldo looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe

Football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy

to so many people from the slums of Rio to the bright lights of Madrid.

I have devoted my life to bring such joy to people who stood on the

terraces supporting their club."

God looks up and offers Ronaldo the seat to his left.

He then turns to Luis Figo, "and you, Luis, what do you believe?"

Figo stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion are

the fundamentals to life and I've spent my whole playing career

providing a living embodiment of these traits."

God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Figo the seat to his

right.

Finally, he turns to Faddy "and you, James, what do you believe?"

"I believe" says Faddy, "you're sitting in my seat."

20 Sweden 888 -1 -62

squad for ukraine/georgia games:

Goalkeepers:

Gordon (Sunderland)

Marshall (Norwich)

McGregor (Rangers)

Defenders:

Alexander (Burnley)

Caldwell (Celtic)

Dailly (West Ham)

Hutton (Rangers)

McEveley (Derby)

McManus (Celtic)

Naysmith (Sheffield United)

Weir (Rangers)

Midfielders:

Brown (Celtic)

Ferguson (Rangers)

Hartley (Celtic)

McCulloch (Rangers)

Pearson (Derby)

Robson (Dundee United)

Teale (Derby) :o

Forwards:

Beattie (West Brom)

Boyd (Rangers)

McFadden (Everton)

Maloney (Aston Villa)

Miller (Derby)

O'Connor (Birmingham)

the squad was announced last week and I believe since then hartley and caldwell have both pulled out through injury. fletcher and pressley are injured too.

my team selection for ukraine would be:

gordon

mcmanus dailly weir

hutton brown ferguson mcculloch naysmith

boyd miller

no hartley or fletcher through injury means a little re-organising. the 3 centre-backs would keep shevchenko quiet - if you do that you're half way there. possibly dailly to man-mark.

maloney, faddy & o'connor on the bench for super-sub status.
