Scottish football

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

They're a dreadful side, if some are even worse they are few and far between.

Whichever way you try and spin it this is absolutely hilarious

They aren't dreadful

Couldn't care less about "spinning" anything

This is a terrible result for Scotland, that isn't what this conversation that you're butting into was about

It got embarrassing for Scotland once the third went in, that isn't being debated

My point was merely that there aren't really any crap sides in Europe any more, outside of a couple of the very worst

I wasn't even beginning to defend Scotland's performance

Full Time

Khazakstan 3 Scotland 0

Just when you thought Scotland couldn't hit a new low, they go on and hit a new low

lol lol lol lol

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I don't get your point, all 3 teams you have just mentioned aren't good though?

But they aren't BAD either

That's my whole point

You took umbrage with me saying that Kazakhstan could give anyone a game

They patently can

Giving someone a game means making them work to beat you at the very least

As today has showed, you can't just turn up and expect to beat them. It's not like they're San Marino, who expect to get pumped by everyone

Belgium and Russia will probably beat them, but none of those games will be cricket scores, especially in Kazakhstan

That's all I'm saying

What an awful opening result that is

No I get what your saying and in saying Kazakhstan are terrible

 

[davek]

There's no easy games in international football. Scotland made sure Kazakhstan had to fight for every goal.

BUT THEYRE A GOOD SOLID TEAM

I'm saying nothing until after we play Gibraltar on Saturday

Getting beat by Germany doesn't make them poor but you said they've been battered once in 7 years. I was pointing out why you are wrong

Getting battered by Iceland/hungry and Armenia is what makes them terrible

Yeah, imagine losing to Iceland. How bad would you need to be for that to happen?

 

[evertonarntwe]

I said battered mate. Did you choose to ignore that bit?

 

[Chris O'Connor]

The difference between Iceland and Khazakstan can be measured in light years - Iceland are now a very respectable opponent - they're far, far better than mere minnows

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Whooped by a gang of farmers lollollollol

 

[blueloon]

I watched a good chunk of the match and Scotland were as poor as the result suggests, it’s hard to see where they go from here, except they can only get better.

 

[ToffeeTim]

At least two players who play in Scottish football scored for their country tonight.

I was merely responding to this point.

I was pointing out that far bigger nations than Kazakhstan have been beaten by Iceland, as I'm sure you're only too aware, though it would appear some of our posters have short memories.
