The authorities in this country hate us and if they can do it then they will screw us over. You wonder why I believe that if we play well enough and take our chances then we’ll win?

I have been saying exactly this since about 1998 when it was obvious the whole set up and it's interference in Club football was becoming way too much of a ball ache. Detest it.

Fine believe what you want, I hope you're right and in a decent honest country like this used to be I'd be in complete agreement. Scotland in 2020 is not a decent honest country though, in particular not where football is concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sticking up for the refs here and saying they’re doing a fantastic job and that I think they’ll do the right thing on the day ffs, I’m saying our ability will get us through regardless of whatever cheating is used against us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have your opinion and I have mine and we'll agree to differ on that but agree on this I hope, we should be beating them every damn time we play them.

Hate international football so much. Get's in the way of everything. That's the way it is for players and clubs, if you want to boost your career and transfer value - caps add to that. Has and always will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, if a country gets into a quarter or semi final - the place goes into meltdown. Look at Wales and N Ireland recently. In turn it boosts neutral fans interest in the game.

I thought the 2010 was excellent for a spectacle in Africa - with the Dutch run standing out for me. 2014, and the destruction of Brazil by a soild German side completely unplayable that year. 2002 - the underdogs like USA, Senegal and Turkey progressing deep into the competition.

LegendofCoop 17,360 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I actually think this could be a boost for Morelos. I remember him coming back from his first call up a different player. He'd been slightly under performing and his head looked down. Came back totally different and went on a really good run of form. Hopefully the same can happen this time. He's playing better than he was, but something's just not clicking with him just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amato 3,016 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 When does he travel out? Transfer deadline on Monday, could him being out of the country mean there's less chance he signs for anyone else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I'd bench Buffalo and in the scum match too. Make him hungry and angry and he will come on and score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
