Croatia vs Scotland

[KennySim93]

So what's everyone's thoughts on the game tonight then?

 

Here's the Scotland line-up: McGregor, Hutton, Hanley, Martin, Whittaker, Snodgrass, McArthur, Morrison (capt), Bannan, Maloney, Griffiths.

 

Probably something like this:

 

McGregor

 

Hutton Hanley Martin Whittaker

 

McArthur Morrison

 

Snodgrass Bannan Maloney

 

Griffiths

 

Personally, you may think I'm deluded, but I think we could get a draw out of this game.  I'm going for 1-1.

 

[Yngwie]

I'd expect anything between 2-0 and 5-1.

[Ten4]

Hutton  Bannan Whitaker that's 3-0 plus a sending off before we start!!!

[KennySim93]

Look on the bright side, at least Kenny Miller's not even in the squad!

Finally! I dont have much faith in getting anything but i really hope im wrong. 3-0

[KennySim93]

We actually haven't started too badly!

[KennySim93]

Snodgraaassss!! 1-0! We're actually winning!!!!

[KennySim93]

Full time 1-0 Scotland!

Feckin great result!!!   stuffed the Croatian managers words right back down his throat, well done wee Gordy.

[Yngwie]

One of the most remarkable results in our history - just a shame it was pretty meaningless for us.

What a great result and its great to see Scotland doing well against a highly ranked team. Who cares if they had most of the ball it's goals that count. Oh flower of Scotland!!!!!

It will do our seeding rank for 2016 some good, ensures we will be in the 4th pot as we were in danger of slipping even further. Delighted with the result!Delighted i was so far off.

[KennySim93]

Trying not to get carried away, but things are looking up! Just 2 points of 3rd with that win! Great performance by everyone tonight!

Great result but I'm not sure it does 'ensure' any pot 4 seeding. Surely those are decided at the end of the qualifying campaign? We're still very much in danger of finishing the bottom or staying 5th which would put us in danger of slipping into pot 5 for the Euros 2016. Even if we were to remain in pot 4, it's nothing to get excited about. Not so long ago, we were pot 2 regulars....then fell to pot 3 fodder which is why we find it so hard to qualify nowadays. Pot 4 teams like Scotland are just making up the numbers.

[Heilandee]

Quite remarkable result, but, was up at Fairways hitting a few balls and went into the bar to watch the second half, not a soul was watching or giving toss what was going on, sad sign of the times :-(

[Kirishima]

According to the BBC it has ensured pot 4.

The future with Matthew Kennedy, Islam Feruz, Jack Harper, Alex Davey, along with mainstays like Snodgrass, Morrison, McArthur, new manager, ....maybe this is the beginning of the end of our malaise?

Hutton  Bannan Whitaker that's 3-0 plus a sending off before we start!!!

 

Do you feel just a wee bit silly?

Islam Feruz will be unstoppable, it'll be like Wales have Bale atm...

[Sneckboy]

I stand corrected on the Pot 4 seeding being confirmed for the Euro 2016 qualifiers. I've read conflicting reports but most news agencies are reporting that it's been achieved.

Feruz the only promising one IMO with Callum Barrett as a future keeper

[lukemackay]

feruz, is a boy im really excited about looks like a young aguero. he was top scorer in the nextgen series (basically a youth football champions leaue) in which he led the chelsea line all the way to the final.

the only stage he didnt score in was the final.

the next 2 years should be very interesting to see him come through.

the fact hes younger than me peeves me right off

 

oh my days! doing some more digging, that john soutar at dundee utd who played against us in the 2-1 defeat is over a year younger than me. i feel extremely insignificant right now

[starchief]

But will Feruz even get a game in the next 2-3 years at Chelsea? Might staying at Celtic or going to a lesser club like WBA or Wigan got him more game time. Coming through at Chelski is no easy feat.

[LundavraJag]

With any luck will go on loan to a team like WBA, its definitely done Lukaku some good.
