there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Scotland will beat Norn Iron comfortably I would think. Our game v Finland is the biggest for years, I don't even know why we're playing this friendly tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_watp 1,503 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I hope Norn iron play a weakened side as I think the timing of this game isn't good. The Finland match is so important to Norn iron so I'd expect Scotland to be much more up for it .Bit of a weird statement. I'm sure Scotland will be more up for the Gibraltar game aswell, need 3 points in a game in which they will want to get a convincing score. it goes without saying the European qualifiers are more important for both teams.Still think Scotland will gub you's though.

rfc_watp 1,503 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Glad to see there are no Rangers players in the squad. Help me enjoy cheering on the two teams who are proud to be British.Fuck the corrupt SFA and their team.Yawn.A Norn Iron team containing Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn, aye batter in mate. Very proud to be British. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolongawake 1,205 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Surprised to see Forrest make the squad ahead of Mackay Steven. Thought Griffiths might have been picked given his recent form, not that I'd fancy cheering on a team led by that wee rat.Also given that the opposition aren't the strongest, would have liked to have seen Ryan Gauld get a call up.

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 What is?Why do you have a problem with these two players representing their national team?They both seem to enjoy playing for OWC, and the fans enjoy their performances.

Niall McGinn has stayed in Scotland long enough to get a referendum vote, wonder what he voted for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,718 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I know Norn Iron have had good results away from home but Scotland should put 4 or 5 past them comfortably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll get a hiding - I really don't get why we agreed to play Scotland at this time. I'd have preferred that NI had a week long training camp so the players can focus fully on Finland.

Goianegra 4,680 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Gauld has been breaking into the first team and been doing well past couple months. He should have been included. Perfect run of games to start introducing younger players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall McGinn has stayed in Scotland long enough to get a referendum vote, wonder what he voted for? Gibraltar and Northern Ireland to be precise, you guessed wrong. I meant that the majority of fans of those two teams (and you can make it 3 if you want to include England)support their home nation and the United Kingdom as a whole,and don't boo the National Anthem, sentiments I share. I can assure you I am neither immature or naive. I love football and Rangers are more important to me than a football association that went out its way, and continues to do so,to destroy my favourite football team.Therefore I refuse to support any other football team which reflects and attempts to glorify that corrupt organisation. Realism, and honesty to your own ideals is sometimes more important than blind patriotism. This is something you may discover yourself as you mature. So as I suggested,I hope the Scottish football team loses and this reflects badly on the SFA, and I am glad there are no Rangers players involved.

You may say the country's national team is a representation of the association but I don't see it that way....I don't watch England and automatically think of the FA.I don't agree with booing GSTQ but I don't agree with every Rangers fans opinions either. Point being, I'm not going to let some arsehole Scotland fans with a different belief from me interfere with me supporting my country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
