Gibraltar v Scotland

Recommended Posts

Good to see Hanley and Kenny starting ahead of the Euros, at least, even if they're collectively struggling to break down a pub team right now.

It’s a great test for Scotland. Matches like this will prepare them well when facing Germany in the opener.

Can Hanley still run?

He really shouldn't need to. 

Gibraltar have lost each of their last 12 games by an aggregate score of 48-0.

I know it's only a friendly, but it's pretty embarrassing for Scotland that they've played 42 minutes and it's still goalless.

So, half time and 0-0. Gibraltar will be **** a hoop. But really, no issue with Hanley missing a couple of sitters because at least he's getting to the ball and he hasn't played for a while, but come on Kenny, heading's one of your better skills especially in the opposition penalty area. Interesting though that most of the chances are falling to a Norwich player ...

Joking apart I hope Scotland have a great tournament. Imagine England fans getting this reaction singing our anthem.

Gibraltar has a total population of 35,000, about the population of Downham I would guess., so Scotland did very well to get a result against them.

This was a game against Germany not last night. I presume Scotland are the international version of Coventry for you!

You’re not wrong but where did I say the video was from last night? Are you backing Coventry to win the Championship @ 16/1? They’ve started spending already.

I wrongly assumed that a thread entitled ‘Gibraltar v Scotland’ would be about that-ridiculous assumption I know.

No I’m not backing Coventry to do anything, are you?

I will do, I think it’s their season and the latest signing is impressive.

Sorry, was only guessing as I have not been there in sixty years, unlike Gibraltar where, in four visits, I lived there for nearly four years. And love the place.

Gibraltars a lovely atmospheric place, visited it many times,  walking past the Victoria Stadium . Most be a buzz flying in with the view of the rock and seeing the small looking runway.

At least the Jocks would have a good time, before  the embarrassment of nearly getting beat by a gallant bunch of part timers.

Maybe Gibraltar are an emerging football nation and a 0.0 or narrow 0.2 win is a good result!

Actually I wouldn’t mind them beating England, just to hear Southgate’s after match press interview.🤣hilarious

I like Gib and the Gibraltarian people....First time I went to Gib in the late 70's as a young snapper whipper the Border was still closed....Changed a lot since then....Been all over the Rock both inside and out and up to its highest echelons....Fascinating place....
