Boo hiss.

just tie with eesti...we tied against them so you can do it too.

An entertaining match tonight from the other two teams in our group and it makes the league table very interesting, any one of the three teams can qualify alongside Scotland but our result will be crucial to others.

Grats 'reekie... fantastic result and a great performance. Not only kept them to long shots on many occasions but some good attacking play from us too.

I'm sure some will say they were very unlucky not to put away at least one of their better chances, but we were on the receiving end of much worse luck in qualification. I'm glad its correcting itself now. :P

well done reekie, superb result

Thanks to all.


Qpeg, i was thinking that the luck was evening out a bit myself, long may it continue.

Just realised, the draw above means that regardless of next weeks results, we have topped the group!

Not bad for a 4th seeded nation sneaking in the back door with a grin :)

congrats reekie :)

we avenged this defeat with the rugby match today! :P

Nice1 Reekie.

Deserving taking your place in knockouts stages.

Kept a very good team at bay. Limiting them to mainly half chances.

A very wise man told me many moons ago"if you cant stop the strikers,try to cut off their supply" ;)

Druga, what is rugby?

I'd rather look on our sokker win as revenge for your late late win at Hampden. :)

d'oh!! :(

Very well done indeed sir, a huge congrats to everyone involved in the Scottish NT team. See ya in the next round. [great]

Congratulations Ally,

Some incredible results and already won the group with one game spare. Keep up the good work, and best of luck in the knock out stages.

Thanks guys, it's still not beyond Cymru to make the next round either, best of luck with that and JPK,if you lose your next game i just know who you're getting in the next round...it's the way this game works!

LOL!! I was hoping to get you in the final!!!! :P

Excuse me.....but did we just top the group, after being written off with no chance?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

:)

Eesti up next and a moral dilemma for Scotland.
With qualification as table toppers already secured do we avoid injuries and suspensions and play our U21's to get them expierence for the forthcoming WC or do we give USA and Italia a fighting chance?


Heh, i was going to leave the post like that for a few hours and see how many bites were forthcoming but maybe too cruel :)


Here's the plan.

We are already missing 4 key players due to injury or suspension so Scotland will not be at their strongest regardless, however, Scotland will field a team to try and take points from Eesti which wont be easy as it is a must win game for them and i have a feeling that we are going to get a look at their 2 monster strikers. Even at full strength Scotland may very well struggle against such good opposition so for any interested third parties, we'll try our best but dont expect too much :)
