We are away to Hungary tomorrow and we are going for the win. We want to finish 3rd in the group, which would be amazing for us. Just a shame we couldnt score on saturday... hit the post three times and missed sitters. Gutted. Good luck tomorrow, a truly remarkable achievement if yous finish 3rd and the rise of the national team has been sensational. johanhentze and bluedylan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but thats like me saying pick a Linfield player because he is outstanding in the IL over a player playing 1st division in England.If they are that good they would be playing down south in England.Look at Scottish teams in Europe over the last decade.

Cheers. We should have beaten them at home. We are getting better all the time and we have a batch of youngsters coming through that are much better... current team are quite young as well, so hopefully we will see the finals soon enough, haha. plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate i know where you are coming from but the English championship is nowhere near the standard that it is made out to be, a lot of money for sure but so over rated. For talking sake, you can have a boy playing out his skin for a Hearts or Aberdeen and be continually over looked, then he gets a move to some mid table championship club to fill their bench but is suddenly included even though not playing as regularly and as in form. I just don't think the leagie you play in is reason enough for a call up. What i don't like either is we are taking the Jack Charlton route by filling the squad with English boys through the grandparent route. bluedylan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope one day you’ll see the faroes in amongst it mate but I can’t see it. It’s going the way of club football where it’s the same teams all the time.
