Gribz

We're pretty light weight in midfield now are we! So that leaves Dailly, Teale and Robson to come in!! Fuck me that doesnt sound good. Im not confident with any of them. Id move Mcfadded to LM and start with O Connor or Maloney

So whats the thought on that team folks? You could also through McCulloch in there for hemdani or Gow. IMO that team would kick SPL ass

Germany are the first team to qualify from the groups and the Czechs will join them from that group with a draw on Wednesday knocking Rep of Celtic out. So far: Germany Austria Switzerland Im sure we could have all of them

Cant believe in never back that 12/5 shot. I went for Scotland, Leeds, Forest, Hungry, Turkey and Croatia - 4 out of 6. Im going to have to start doing those trixie bets and doubles from 4 or whatever they are called.

There's an Old Firm Derby on Saturday

NOW we can think about this game. We got our 3 points from Ukraine. Now this really is a cup semi final. If we can go there and win then I believe we will be on our way to Osstria and Sweetzerland. The confidence in the team is huge right now and if the same XI start in Tbilisi then we have enough talent to get through. Only Scott Brown is a doubt with a hammy injury. Hopefully he makes it but then is out of the OF next week He is an arrogant shite but some player. CMON the SCOTS. Id like to see what those who dont really supprt the national side are saying right now and if all of a sudden there is an interest. I hope Russia stuff England on Wed aswell

Yeah until he took Dailly on But im the same, and im glad he went for it today. He got the selection absolutely spot on. Andy Watsons still a wank and out of his depth tho :fish:

Aye but im saying that thinking we will get something from Italy. Had a great bounce when scotland scored last night

Ands its crazy we have beaten france twice plus 6 others wins yet we still arent there!!!!! If we win in Tbilisi then we are there!!!!!!!!!

Fuckin awesome today!! Eck got it spot on and he went for Gribz XI from the front page and they did the biz. We were brilliant at times but seemed to fall apart for there goal, but we should have had 2 stone wall pens - hutton and mcfadden were both hacked. We are on our way

Or 12/5 Scotland half time full time

Holy shit thats a while back. But I cant see why people dont want to go, its a great day out if nothing else. Especially for those who travel down on a train with a carry out early doors. It used to be a good chance for me and sheep supporting mates to have a day out at the footy but the only time we went was a 2-2 draw with Belgium about 5 years ago. They were all too tight to go to other games. I can see a Gersnet Scotland day out in the future :cheers:

I hope im wrong but i cant see much goals here. Both sides are good defensively. If Ukraine come and attack then it may open up and if thats the case I hope we have 4-4-2 with pacey players upfront. Id say 1-0 Scotland but happily take 4-2. Thank fook its on SKY BTW coz il get it tonight now, if its BBC i dont even get radio coverage. So Pizza and few beers around 7pm all set for a 10pm kick off - cant wait. Its good to be back enjoying internation footy again, Ive always been up for Scotland games but none of my mates used to want to go to games. The thought of international footy weekend isnt great until it comes round and the Scots are playing. Had i been there id have taken Jufferys ticket in a flash. C'MON the SCOTS

Im glad I dont know anything about backing horses or id we punting everyday. I remember one bank holiday a few years ago i sat and watched "At the races" and had one bet which won so it led to another which lost and another which lost......

Yeah if they dont win then they cant qualify. But this could also go against us in their last game against France. We need them to play as best as possible against France but at the same time we have to end their qualification hopes tomorrow with a win.

Yeah I should have added Hutton would provide more width on the right. When Smith eventually gets fit he will do the same left side.

Rank coupon this weekend due to the internationals. But il still have a punt. Scotland to beat Ukraine Evs Iceland to beat Latvia Evs Leeds to beat Leyton Orient 1/2 Holland to beat Romania 11/8 I'll probably have an individual bet on the Scotland game. I fancy 1-0 to be the score but 5/1 isnt the best odds. So I may go correct score with first scorer - 1-0 and McFadden 28/1

Merged the 2 threads here BTW folks.

Yeah i know this is interesting. I have screamed for Buffel to play in behind the strikers and Gow in to be given the chance in that role but it would mean playing a diamond formation and dropping 2 of Ferguson, Hemdani and Thomson with the remaining player to play the holding role. I just cant see Smith playing that. So Id maybe give Buffel and Gow free wider roles and have Hemdani and Ferguson in the centre. Hemdani will sit and mop up while Ferguson plays more box to box. It would be set out a little like this: _____________McGregor____________ Hutton____Weir_______Cuellar____Papac ________Ferguson___Hemdani_______ __Buffel_____________________Gow__ __________Cousin___Darcheville______ Attack wise it looks good, Buffel and Gow could come infield and swap sides as they please, plus Ferguson will be getting forward. Of course, you could also drop one of the strikers and put Thomson in next to Hemdani and push Ferguson forward but I dont think we would need that for SPL matches - If we are at home to the Falkirks and St Mirrens then SURELY the above is enough.

I think Dida's ban is irrelvant. He didnt "cheat" the opposition, he was making a point that a fan was on the pitch. For him to be carried off was silly but he should have got a slap round the wrist as it did not effect the outcome of the game. 25k is not big enough yet FIFA and UEFA's fines to clubs are not big enough in general. So Celtic have to hand out the same amount as they do to Scott Brown every week - big deal! The point here should be what if the guy had a knife!! Its lesson learnt the easy way and all clubs have to take note that no fans should enter the pitch. UEFA have to start increasing the fines so all clubs take note.

Seems he is ready, id throw him in asap.

Probably would agree with that, going to Georgia is a bit of the unknown, they are a potential banana skin and thats where I can see us slipping up. But id fancy us to take something from the Italy game if needed.

Id say Everton have the easiet. Aberdeen got a bit of a nightmare thats one of the toughest groups but thats europe for you.

He would have been a miss then but Pearson did well when he came on and Brown can play in Fletchers role. Ive just looked at the fixtures, Italy are at home to Georgia and France go to the Faroe's so i can only see them both taken 3 points so this game is a muct win. As I said earlier id take any win in any way.

No he's injured. He came off against france then Pearson came on. He hasnt played for Man U since that either.
