Stardog 11 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I actually think we will turn over the Ukraine with a 3-0 victory to be honest, and this has nothing to do with the wave of optimism over recent results. In the last game against them they were lucky to beat us, some poor refereeing and cheating from Schevy and an unfair dismissal was what beat us. What makes you think they won't be diving and cheating again? With guys like McManus who tug at jerses inside the box I can see us concedeing a penalty.

With guys like McManus who tug at jerses inside the box I can see us concedeing a penalty. it was the exact same against lithuania. i said to my mate during the first half that they would get a penalty and when they did i just turned to him and said "i told you". then i began hurling abuse at the ref with the rest of the crowd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

justiston 91 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 To be fair, we always raise our game in the big ones, if this was Lithuania or Georgia at home, then maybe it could be seen as a bannana skin. But becuase its Ukraine, I think the boys will not have any shred of complaceny in them. Still very nervous(reason why im still up) heading off to hampden in 7 hours 2-1 Miller first.

bauba30 1 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Who the fuck cares what the tims or the rest of scottish football fans think to be honest mate should all be greatful to walter n eck for even getting them into contention. il be there on saturday hoping for a great result. But if we dont qualify - i will be proud of Scotland no matter what fair enough, but my point is of the now over-expectation Scotland fans now expect, from the media to the fans to the SFA. Dont know about anyone else, I am a big Scotland fan, and I think we are underdogs today - If you offered me 4 pts this week I would snap your hand off. Not over expectation, just pride that we are a real team again who can stand up and give the best sides in the world a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not over expectation, just pride that we are a real team again who can stand up and give the best sides in the world a game. I am more concerned with the fact that, in most ways, we dont appear to be underdogs today. We are far better when we are. We are above Ukraine in the group, and the Fifa rankings... hmmm It does sound nice that tho I reckon we will get 6 from them both Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,844 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 its annoying cos at the start of the campaign, we figured if we had any hope of going through, we would at least 21-25 points... we could get that and not qualify and its a shame i would go with this team, its very attack minded tho. I think we are going with the extra security and taking boyd out and putting in a def mid player. I would have Thomson over Dailly tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
