french_disko Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Scotland Under 21s are planning to play their concluding UEFA qualifier against France at Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen. The match, on Friday, 1 September, is one of only two being played by the Under 21s in the UEFA competition, which is shortened this season to a single year to allow a change of format. Scotland play away to Slovenia on Tuesday, 15 August, in Murska Sobota, before the only home game with France. Only the group winners go through to the play-offs. The SFA is in discussion with Aberdeen FC regarding the final arrangementsfor the match, and a spokesman said: "This is a huge match for the Under 21sand is a game they will have to win if they are to progress in the competition, so it will have a real cup-tie atmosphere. We know that a large and passionate crowd will support the team at Pittodrie, which makes it the ideal venue for this match." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I was there too. Think it was '92 tho. Cracking game none the less. Scotty Booth, and Eion Jess were just young starlets then. Gone are those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
