Shaki Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Alexander was an absolute monster in that position for Burnley last season, should do well tonight.He's rarely had a bad game for Scotland either. I seem to remember K Miller's last good game for Scotland was in Oslo about 4 years ago when he netted twice. A repeat of that would do me If McCormack and Commons have a good game then I think we could do alright. nervous though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 o_OI can hardly remember him having a good game.Never outstanding but always solid and dependable. Can you think of any howlers or stand out bad games he has had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 He was fucking dreadful in the Holland game.Outclassed but no worse than many others. He played in both victories over France too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry, I missed the stadia thingy, Pittodrie, Dens, St Diarmid, Parkhead, Easter Road, Tynecastle, Hampden, St James Park and Old Trafford for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Outclassed but no worse than many others. He played in both victories over France too.No way, Alexander and Teale were a clear level below every other player on the park that day.I'm willing to give him a chance in the position he'll be playing tonight, but he should certainly never appear in the back four for Scotland ever again.

Lonz Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 1-0 Scotland is my guess tonight. Miller with a tap in from 5 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 1-0 Scotland is my guess tonight. Miller with a tap in from 5 yards.10 on 1-0 Scotland @ 15/2 nae bad think it could happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm going for 1-1. We'll go one nil up and then defend like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Am I right in saying that if we win tonight, Norway are out of the running to qualify?I know exactly what's going to happen, same thing that ALWAYS happens with Scotland. We'll go into the last game needing to beat the big team to qualify and we'll lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll go into the last game needing to beat the big team to qualify and we'll lose.I thought either this, or we'll win all our remaining games and luck would have it that we're the lowest point scoring runners up.

Lemonade Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 It would be typical of Scotland, sorry to sound so pessimistic, but we always fall at the last hurdle, and I've learnt over the years not to get my hopes up in situations like the last Euros where we had to beat Italy at home in the last game to qualify. I saw grown men crying at the end of that game - like they really expected that we'd be able to stuff the world champions.Admittedly it was my mate Gary and he cries at everything.

I'm Your God Now Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 After the Italy game was the only time I have cried at something as an adult, it was heart breaking. There was a great deal of the fans walking back to the train station in the exact same way. I think it was because of the air of expectation and that "we can actually do this" feeling that was going throughout the country.The last hurdle is the Scotland way, "the old college drop-out try".

All we need now is for a piano to fall out of the sky onto our remaining defenders and the job will be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
