You heard that Gazza was a “Rangers hating scumbag”?I once heard the same about Paul Gascoigne.

One of my mates, who's a bear is away to Krakow as well. Follows them all over. Minus glengarry, feathers, kilt and all that ridiculous clobber.I’ve a good friend who’s a Hearts fan and unionist and no lover of the scum. He goes to every Scotland game home and away.
He thoroughly deserves the night him and his other mate from my home town will be having in Krakow tonight.
Not that I know the answer, but will the top 2 teams from the groups automatically qualify, as we have been starved of top class football for years ( as we are all aware )Promotion, guaranteed play off for euro 2024 and 2nd seed for euro 2024 qualifiers
Oh and Kenny McLean was fucking gash
My word, we are through the looking glass now.If it was that porteous from tonight then in an absolute heartbeat. If its the arsehole who tried to hurt folk and act the big man, then no. Overall, if his contract expires in the summer and he is a free, id be fine with him being at least looked at.
Yes is the straightforward answer. Scotland finish 1st or 2nd in the group they will be drawn into it’s automatic qualification. Any other spot in said group is a guaranteed playoff spotNot that I know the answer, but will the top 2 teams from the groups automatically qualify, as we have been starved of top class football for years ( as we are all aware )
I'm pretty sure it's Israel we get in playoffs as they are the best place qualifier and we are the 4th best.Just seen Israel got promoted to league A as well, it's been a few months since we've played them so probably due to draw them
No, not that one, but he was certainly not the flavour of our support at one point and the comments about him weren't favourable.You heard that Gazza was a “Rangers hating scumbag”?
Maybe, but I have never seen any evidence he is Filth minded.He’s far more likely to sign for the filth than us
I thought Wales put Ukraine out?Desperate stuff celebrating whatever they’ve meant to have done in a tournament nobody has a clue how it works , Ukraine will be gutted they’ve not achieved what Scotland did tonight in Qatar in a few weeks time
You got in before my editI thought Wales put Ukraine out?
Not sure what I said makes you think that. Its a pretty reasonable assessment of a hypothetical event.My word, we are through the looking glass now.
Yes, after they hammered Scotland I thought they were a shoo-in.You got in before my edit
Thats only the draw of none of the 4 qualify automatically. Then it filters down to next in the group if any do. I fancy us to beat any of those 4 anywayI'm pretty sure it's Israel we get in playoffs as they are the best place qualifier and we are the 4th best.
Bosnia play serbia
Don't know if they do a draw for home/away or not
It helps identify the personality of international teams.I still don’t know how this nations league works
My brain won’t allow it
He is a reckless piece of shytt when he plays against Rangers.Not sure what I said makes you think that. Its a pretty reasonable assessment of a hypothetical event.
This is it for me. Not injury prone, very good when he isn’t acting the dick, can play LCB, scottish for the euro quota, good on the ball and wins headers.He is a reckless piece of shytt when he plays against Rangers.
But he is a fairly reckless piece of shytt when he plays against other sides as well.
I don't think we are the only support who have a poor opinion of him.
However, he can play and when he keeps his discipline as he did tonight, he looked a proper defender.
I like to keep an open mind about potential signings.
I suppose they must have looked at him already.This is it for me. Not injury prone, very good when he isn’t acting the dick, can play LCB, scottish for the euro quota, good on the ball and wins headers.
Im not saying we should sign him or that we will (we wont), but id certainly understand if it broke he was a player our scouts etc looked at
I agree, I like pace they are showing. Hickey and Hendry I thought were great together, Hendry I actually think is coming onto his own game now. That’s his position to lose. Patterson and Hickey is going to be interesting for right back. Both pushing each other in training. Tierney though at left back. And Hickey can even battle for that spot. Porteous I felt played well, and I hate to say that. If he can keep his head and drop his Ned crap. He is brave on a pitch, and he can back track quick and he can tackle. That’s an open position though. But Scotland back line should be Patterson/Hickey right back, Hendry right CD and Tierney/Robertson/Hickey left back. Left CD has to still be won.That’s the best
was rather refreshing our back line had pace, take Taylor out replace with tierney it’s a decent back 4 as I was very surprised how good the hibs thug was
Premiers an Irish sports broadcaster.Your hatred is matched by mine. But fair play to him.
How come premier sports are now covering both games in their review? Us and the ROI.
You get what you pay for right enough.
Good job Neil Doncaster has done a great job with scottish footie tv contract for the next 7 years eh?
He has close links/agent with Andy Murray who has obvious links with Castore. Wouldnt rule it out completely.I suppose they must have looked at him already.
But the point you make about him not being injury prone is pertinent, he seems to be a robust sort of lad considering how physical he is in the tackle, and yes he does win headers.
He also doesn't duck when a ball is fired in his direction.
If you had asked me a year ago, I would have laughed.
But I reserve the right to change my mind.
Keep editing that message until you’re left with just a full stop please.What have Scotland even achieved ? This tournament is a mystery to me
PMy word, we are through the looking glass now.
I was at the Oriam on Monday and saw Ryan Jack chatting away amicably with two of the squad obviously walking to training. The two players were ,wait for it, Ryan Porteous on one side and Dermot Gallagher on the other. Who would have thought it?He is a reckless piece of shytt when he plays against Rangers.

Don't worry, they get a free shower at the end of every training session.P

It's about getting into the Euros via the back door really. A better seeding in the draw for the Euros is also important.What have Scotland even achieved ? This tournament is a mystery to me
,My next edit is “well done Scotland what an achievement”Keep editing that message until you’re left with just a full stop please.
Too busy cracking a corkA great achievement for the Scottish team, and it has to be said Steve Clarke.
I think he has proved quite a few wrong.
Considering the amount of injuries going into this game, for such backs to the wall performance is some going.
Clarke obviously has his squad so well drilled in his game plan and style that when anyone drops out, the next man up has fitted in seamlessly.
Now, if only he could crack a smile
Completely missed two headers in the box1He is a reckless piece of shytt when he plays against Rangers.

Gordon made 4 excellent saves!I thought hendry was mom for me
Tierney plays the ball back at least 50% of the time and not as good as Robertson going forward.Job well done.
Think the last 3 games have shown we don’t need to shoehorn Robertson and Tierney into the same team. Four at the back is a much better system for me. And of the two left backs Tierney would get the nod for me
Give it a rest!I must admit.
I thought that game was utter shite.
He got caught out of position for the Ukraine chance in the first half after he dived in to win the ball and didn't.He is a reckless piece of shytt when he plays against Rangers.

Ffsake, I could dissect the entire performance of any defender in any team over the entire 90 in any match and find moments where they missed a ball or were second to a tackle.He got caught out of position for the Ukraine chance in the first half after he dived in to win the ball and didn't.
He got caught under the flight of the ball for two crosses, one which the Ukrainians should've scored.
I think folk just listen to the commentary and form an opinion on the back of what Michael Stewart says.
Porteous was ok, on another day, we are talking about him costing us two goals.
Sure he was at with the sheep recentlyHe is a reckless piece of shytt when he plays against Rangers.

Time is a flat circle - Same thing happened with Jason Cummings who was a complete bam in matches for Hibs vs us.Seeing Rangers fans simp for Ryan f*cking Porteous - I think this forum has officially hit its lowest ebb.
Sure England won't be too arsed when they are in Qatar.The Nations League is about teams finding their levels.
Scotland will now get to enjoy matches against the likes of France and Italy, while England will get to compete against the might of Albania and Kazakhstan.
Seems about right to me.
For the two weeks they’ll be there aye.Sure England won't be too arsed when they are in Qatar.
