Scotland In A Football Tournament

[KiwiScot 1,436]

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.

Hope you do KS. 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.

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.

3rd place will be tricky without a win as I'm thinking 3pts will be the minimum for qualifying in 3rd.

Love Scotland in big tournaments. Passionate fans who party hard but behave. A great national anthem too to hear pre kick off.

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 😉.

Go Scotland! And Hanley!  Can't wait to see how you get on.

Kenny had to be withdrawn from the squad due to injury.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!

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.

I thought for a cover they'd doll it up, but whatever.

One of these magic moments would suffice this afternoon.

Sorry but i just don't get this Jock Lovefest as they absolutely hate us English and would support whoever we are playing even at tiddlywinks.

Fitba I think 😄

[Capt. Pants 4,195]

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.

Kenny as one of the pundits on BBC!

[KiwiScot 1,436]

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.

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.

[AJ 1,218]

Gotta say the love for Kenny is great to see, seems like they feel he was really important to the team and are gutted he's missing.

They are the opposition. Why does any England supporter wish them well? For us, we want a draw. 

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,131]

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 

[cambridgeshire canary 6,675]

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

Czech getting balls into the box. Other end Ryan Christie beats two men into the box and one of his own players runs into him.
