Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
Its nights like this I wish I was a gambling man, think of the wads of cash you could make on the Scotland national side bottling it even when the odds are in their favour if you were to stick a bet on it. :)
I wonder how long before the national media driven witchunt against Strachan commences...
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
Will we as Scots never learn,and do our talking on the football pitch instead of the newspapers and TV channels.We as a nation never learn wether it's club football or international we talk ourselves up so much and then fall flat on our backsides. For once can we do our talking to the press/media after a match as the old saying goes actions speak louder than words!
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
Not surprised in the slightest. The media gushing about Stachan all campaign when in reality we have been very lucky to get the points we have. Not to register a shot against a team who have won 3 games in 8 years says it all. Fletcher must pinch himself every day as he is a very rich young man despite the fact he is utter s#ite. James Forrest coming on ?????? Well done Gordon youve got this squad flying. PI$h.
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
Fletcher isn't playing first team football and to my mind he should not have started. Griffiths is playing and scoring.
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
A lot not playing this season not just Fletcher also Anya,Naismith,Hutton and it showed as all were well off the pace
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
They were dire last night. In all honesty you could see something like that coming, they didn't play well over in Ireland and got lucky with a deflected strike. With Germany and Poland the next two games you can't really see them getting anything from those games. Ireland could well pip them for the play off spot as well.
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
The hype over the supposed improvement in the national team since Strachan took over has been baffling at times, especially so during the Euro 2016 qualifiers. All that has really changed is that they are a bit more organised as a team but there is still no real quality there, just a group of SPFL and English lower league players and when you mix that in with the age old Scottish trait of abject failure at all levels in both sport and society then it's only ever going to end in tears. It of course doesn't help the national team that the written press constantly try to seek out positives from nothing then turn the manager, whoever that may be, into a national figure of ridicule when it inevitably ends in tears, whilst ignoring the fact that Scotland just are not good enough to qualify for any major tournament as they have neither the ability nor the mentality.
Still, at least we'll be spared from the national embarrassment that is the tartan army disgracing the country in France next
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
Scotland are pish ...they are boring and mundane at best. Hutton must wake and pinch himself every day if his life. I swear Ive never seen him be anything other than sh1te. He can't tackle , he cant get past his man , his passing is awful and he gets caught out of position as a matter of course. A truly awful player.
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
It's not over yet but if we lose tom night and roi beat Georgia then very unlikely we will even get 3rd and have u ever been abroad with tartan army lawman as I have been on many occasions and Paris twice World Cup and faddy wonder night and certainly not embarrassed
re: Oh there'll be no Tartan Army in Paree
Well each to their own but personally any encounter I've ever had with the Tartan Army, either in Glasgow on matchdays or some of their 'members' I've had the misfortune of speaking to over the years then I can't see them as anything other than embarrassment. Basically a bunch of anti-English xenophobic eejits stoating about drunk, flashing their bare @rses at locals and singing 'do-a-deer'. The worst part of it all is that half of them give the impression that they wouldn't know a football if it jumped out their bottle of buckfast and hit them in the face.
Fortunately I've never been abroad with them as I'm not a supporter of the national team.
