If we did get through and draw the Dutch where will it be played? In die Nederlandiche dutche stadion? The Dutch love us ����������������

No its in Budapest in the 67,000 Puskas Arena we nae crowd restrictions,OYF.

Brilliant Stokie boy,i was in the Holt End that day and was also at Wembley but was in The Bowser for our last game.We may well play the Dutch if we qualify and i already have my hotel booked on a free cancellation basis.

Must admit I don't remember a lot about the Scotland Holland game in 96 except it was very tense, very tight, think we were up against it but defended for our lives.
Gonna look this up.

It was a back to the wall performance but nae wonder when you look at that Dutch team,John Collins made a great save on the line to keep us level.

Mind you Stokie boy The Pub Team may yet scupper my plans by losing to the Czech's because IF we win it could lead to us finishing 2nd and playing in The Parken Stadium Copenhagen instead.I have also been there to see Scotland before in a friendly.

Would like to see Fraser & Forrest introduced at some point on Tuesday. Forrest showed the direct play that he brings in his subby appearance vs the Czechs. Fraser can do the same on the other side. Too often we went long vs the Czechs. Gilmour in the midfield can be the catalyst for us attacking on the ground instead of lumping it to Dykes.

Yes agreed,when i spoke about us going long i never meant to the head i was on about us playing it in behind their centre halves into the space between defenders and the keeper for players to run onto.
Wee Billy or McGregor are capable of that range of passing.I fully accept the quality of our opponents but we are a team on the up and they are on the way down from very dizzy heights.
I fully accept its a massive challenge but in my opinion although without a goal i think we have looked a more dynamic team against the same opponents.

Sorry, need to say it (and it's bound to come back to bite me) but Forrest is pish.

He did once score a hat-trick with two assists from Fraser v Israel,given the problems we have with them that is no mean achievement.

...once...

Can't argue with that...
