Good luck to Bosnia tonight 

 

Pffttt. What have the Bosnians ever done for Tillydrone?

Ha!

 

Decent game so far. End to end, good effort from the ref to try and set up a Bosnian attack.

[manc_don]

Tims up courtesy of a very dodgy penalty...hmm... All very familiar. Someone even breaking the silence.

Good game though.

[Jute]

Gutting that Paddies were going to qualify. Wonder if Strachen is still convinced playing for a draw in Dublin was the right thing to do.

Obviously not. If indeed that's what he was doing. I think you're right. It rings a bell.

 

Strachan by the way. The Scottish name.

Looks like the swedes have it. Denmark have 9mins to get 3 goals

 

Ukraine hanging hanging on against the slovenians

It's embarrassing not being on that list.

[rocket_scientist]

No more embarrassing than not being on any of the lists for 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014.

 

I'm sure Strachan might make it ten in a row.

Usually I'd agree but given that all the other home nations have qualified, it makes it all the more embarrassing.

It's much more embarrassing as the number of teams have increased. I always thought, after previous failures, that this would be the year we qualified.

I see the point, but at the end of the day failure is failure...

[manc_don]

Not denying that.  Think Andrew hits it on the head. The number of teams has increased, even WALES, fucking Wales?!? qualified. It's an even bigger embarrassment by the high standards of embarrassment that they have set themselves.

 

Here's to 10 in a row...

The over all quality in the wales team is far superior to ours.  There's no particular embarrassment them qualifying and not us.

It was more in reference to the last time they'd qualified...

 

I acknowledge a superiority of player though.

[rocket_scientist]

I didn't mean to minimise how poor the most recent failure was.

 

It's just that nine in a row is pretty pathetic, humiliating and the bigger embarrassment.

 

For those who still give a fuck.

 

I was at the Brazil and Norway games in 98.

 

I won't be going to any more Scotland games. Ever.

 

Not after the half dozen in the ArenA.

wales v england will be interesting.  Cant see the irish progressing

Actually think ireland have a good chance of progressing as those teams will take points off each other. That is the closest to a group of death in this tournament.

I'm sure there is a tim and a jambo going as well?  Tims had two until Boyata got injured.

 

Add to that Danny Ward and Simon Church

[tom_widdows]

Cant find a jambo in the squad lists

True, might have been Hamilton, but lustig for the tims is there too.

[tlg1903]

Wales must be struggling if church is going.

[Kowalski]

Wales must be struggling if church is going.

 

Coleman obviously looking to altar the squad.
