KiwiScot 1,436 Posted June 14, 2021 Sorry I know this is an English club forum, but everyone is excited up here at bonnie Scotland once again loose in tournament football. We are pretty confident of getting out the group stage for the first time ever and of beating The Czech Republic. But I suspect it's more of the same as they are no mugs and we beat them last time while they had most of their team out due to covid. Reckon they will have something to prove. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking forward to the match. There was a great piece on the team last night and clearly Glasgow is completely buzzing. Also looking forward to seeing Kenny doing media duties and Grant in the starting line up. There has been a long history between NCFC and Scottish players/ managers.

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted June 14, 2021 I actually think Scotland have a pretty good starting XI. I like Stuart Armstrong at Southampton and think they'll give England a really good game - would be happy with a draw. You'll get out of the group, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted June 14, 2021 Good one! So looks like Grant Hanley will be in the starting lineup, is Kenny in the squad but injured or what? Any other NCFC interest? Always wish the Scots all the best, you had a couple of decent World cups in the 70s when you could easily have progressed. Except I’m afraid on Friday I want you to lose 😉.

Kenny had to be withdrawn from the squad due to injury. But he's on media duties for the BBC for Scotland games so that should be quite a laugh! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find any other Norwich links other than David Turnbull that player that was thinking about signing for us once then changed his mind when Celtic wanted him. Then he got a bad injury which set him back a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted June 14, 2021 Scotland have a decent team as several of the squad play at a decent level in the English league, and Hanley 😂 That will help massively. Make no mistake they hate us and I find it hard to rise above that. It's a great occasion for them and I hope it goes well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,436 Posted June 14, 2021 No Kieran Tierney which is a blow. Out with a niggle. Team looks solid though. Time to Hanley to show the supporters he's worth the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a massive shame for him to miss this after having (like Grant Hanley) his best season for us (imo). He looked sharp most of the season. But come September he still has the chance for the World Cup qualifiers. And he will be a Premier League footballer too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted June 14, 2021 Aside from the GK and front 2 that's a very solid looking PL quality team. No excuses for Scotland if they don't perform Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,675 Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) My general thoughts on Scotland and the Scotland team- I obviously fully support Hanley and Mclean (even if he's not playing right now) but it's mixed. I don't mind most Scottish people, they can take a joke and often give it back but sadly the rampant SNP anti English hatefilled jerkoff fest led by the little spiteful Sturgeon in recent years has soured things a little. Still think most Scottish are a decent bunch though, and as much as I hope we/England thrash them this week I don't really care too much if they either do well or don't Edited June 14, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
