For me it's the way their fans come bowling along into any city that has the misfortune to host them.Quote:

I listened to Gordon Brown bemoaning Gary McAllister’s missed penalty a few minutes before Gasgoine’s great goal in 1996 today - if there’s one country in the world that has no right to whinge about penalties, it’s Scotland. Leaving aside Anfield in 1977 and Ninian Park in 1985, Scotland are only in these Finals because they came through two penalty shoot outs.
David Marshall is 36 though and I can't remember him being that good with his feet when he was much younger :shrug:Quote:

A poor side with a very lucky qualification still makes them a poor team.
No real media mention of Wales yet we are a much higher ranked side with a much higher record of success in the last decade.
I'm sure people on here used to complain he wasn't good at coming off his lineQuote:

By the sounds of it, it's Steve Clarke's fault for thinking Marshall is capable of playing as a sweeper keeper.Quote:

Probably wouldn't have made any difference to the result, mind.
Slavia Prague comfortably beat Scotland’s so called best teams comfortably in European competition last season. Their national team did exactly the same.
I don’t think any Welsh fan who has travelled to Belfast to watch an international game, would say it was a nice experience on matchday.Quote:

I haven't seen a team appeal for a foul every time they lost the ball as much as Scotland did, most teams appeal for some unlikely decisions but they were appealing for ridiculous stuff.
Robertson is only player that would get in our team easily even though I don't know where the hell he was for the 1st goal.
They have a few players who would easily get in our team.Quote:

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to make comments like this. Kieffer Moore has scored 1 in 3 at international level but no one outside of Wales is saying they'd get into their national team because all they see is that he plays for Cardiff City and was fourth top scorer in the Championship.Quote:

Different players fit different international set-ups. I don't think Scotland are out of the competition yet, and will grow stronger from it, because they've got on paper some really exciting players and Croatia don't seem like a happy camp.
on the other hand, when we've recently had a Newport county player in the team it is fairly safe to say that the likes of mctominay and mcginn would get in.Quote:

Che Adams would get into our squad maybe, I wouldn't take him over Kieffer.Quote:

There are rumours that Gilmour will be playing against England.Quote:
