Re: Euro 2008 Qualifiers: 11th Oct

I was interested in Scotland on the Asian handicap actually. Like Kiko, I also expected France to waltz by our defence but.... it was just a mass of blue. A massive wall built on the edge of the box. Practically no space at all. Walter Smith aint daft.

Our away performaces under Smith have actually been pretty impressive in my opinion and not just based around getting everyone behind the ball. In Italy and Norway for example we were actually starting to pass and move ffs! It was like real football! We're not too bad at soaking up pressure then hitting on the break so aye, I think there's a chance. The players really should be focused on getting at least a draw from this and building on that victory over France.
