What's really getting on my pip is that if it weren't for that ridiculous last minute penalty at Hampden Scotland would already be in the play-offs...
You didn't, Chip...

Voted for Scotland progress, ach you never know do you... :hit:

The situation sucks, we could put in our best performance in years, narrowly lose to a late goal to one of the best International teams for years and still go out if the Czechs scrape a draw. Or we could get pumped 8-0 in a night of shame for Scottish football and a dodgy bobble over Cech's foot in the last minute could see us going through anyway.

As has been said, all talk of the Czechs deserving to go through is pretty far off the mark. We gave Spain a much better game at Hampden than they did on Friday night and as Conan rightly said the break they got in the game against us at Hampden was a massive stroke of luck for them.

If we can nick an early goal and McGregor plays the game of his life, you never know we could even scrape a draw. But the strong likelihood is that we'll need Lithuania to beat the Czechs, <strawclutching>surely the ties Scottish football have got with Hearts can count for something???</strawclutching>

I lost interest in this game by the time I'd read findud's needlessly complicated poll.

I welcome the extinguishing of Scotland-related hope so that I can get on with my life with a little less brain clutter for distraction.

Had to laugh at Richard Gordon interviewing the guy from the Lithuanian FA on Radio Scotland last night. Basically trying to talk up their chances and attempting to motivate them by reminding how they've beaten them already etc.

Top work Mr Gordon. :banjmp:

However we play, at least we'll win the worst rendition of the national anthem ever recorded outside a pub.

Yep Setenza, someone really should teach the English born players the words. :smack:

As for the game, bad news is that Spain are taking this seriously, they've dropped Torres and brought back Villla.... :fisted:
