[Cripps_orig]

Group I
Spain
Czech Republic
Scotland
Lithuania
Liechtenstein

4/6/11 Liechtenstein v Lithuania

Spain and Czechs comfortably

[Cripps_orig]

2-0 Liechtenstein

[Cripps_orig]

2/9/11 Lithuania v Liechtenstein

3/9/11 Scotland v Czech Republic

6/9/11 Scotland v Lithuania

6/9/11 Spain v Liechtenstein

Spain have won it. Czechs are 2nd

[Cripps_orig]

Game in Lithuainia ended 0-0

Good result for Scotland in the race for 3rd

[Cripps_orig]

Feel sorry for Scots.

Theirs is the only qualifier tomorrow so all eyes on them and Czechs beating them

[Cripps_orig]

Rosicky starts

[Cripps_orig]

Baros misses an absolute sitter

6 yards out, open goal and goes over

[Cripps_orig]

Now a free header from someone from a Rosicky cross

Goes wide

[Cripps_orig]

Czechs should have had a penalty.

Scotland are so boring. A game they have to win, they have shown nothing in attack

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam takes Rosicky out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scotland 1-0, Miller.

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 Scotland

Miller

First shot at goal in the 44th min

Think the keeper should have done better

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[Cripps_orig]

Another good chance for Baros

Wide

Rosickys pass split the defence

[Master Splinter]

Rosicky usually plays well for the Czechs.

For us, he's as consistent as Diaby.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rezek blocks Rosicky's shot. :doh:

And agreed, Rosicky has played pretty well.

[Cripps_orig]

1-1

Plasil

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scotland 1-1 Czech Rep, Plasil.

Started with a good pass from Rosicky. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Our players are getting good at assisting the assister who assists the assister who assists the goalscorer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Fletcher!

[Cripps_orig]

2-1

Fletcher

FFS

[Cripps_orig]

Czech penalty

Brilliant from Rosicky again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to the Czech. Rep.

What a ball from Rosicky. Poor dive though, or good depending on how you look at it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 Kadlec smashes it in.

[Cripps_orig]

2-2

Kadlec

Scots :wave:

[Master Splinter]

Pat Nevin on Five Live :haha:.

Said there was no contact and then saw there was contact on the replay :lol:.

I love it when the home nations are done over by 'cheating foreigners'. The crying will be fun.

[Cripps_orig]

There was no contact tbh

They should have had a penalty in the first half though so its even

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berra booked for diving.

The ref. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Berra booked for diving :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 full time. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Kuyts best friend has had a shocker

2-2 FT

Scotland are out bar a miracle

[Syn]

Ahh...that was good entertainment with a very comical result.

The commentators crying at the end was funny as fuck.

Great pass by Rosicky for the penalty.

Scotland :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Marc :haha:

William Wallace :haha:

Alex Ferguson :haha:

King Kenny :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Scotland :haha:.

Pat Nevin :haha:.

Can't wait until Fletcher or Charlie Adams dives against us and it's described as 'clever play' or 'making the most of it'. They have the right to go down when they're GHELs.

[Master Splinter]

Judy Murray :haha:

Alan Hansen :haha:

Midge Ure :haha:

(Who's Marc?)

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen the remaining games for both Czechs and Scotland

If all goes to plan, Scotland should be a point ahead with a game to go.

The bad thing is, they go to Spain and Czechs play in Lithuania.

However Czechs lost to them at home last year so you never know

[Cripps_orig]

Judy Murray :haha:

Alan Hansen :haha:

Midge Ure :haha:

(Who's Marc?)

http://z13.invisionfree.com/goonersweb/index.php?showuser=3065

Forgot he changed his name.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"To be done, by a conman".

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Just noticed Maccy has overtaken Ach in the post count.

Ach :pal:.

Order is restored :bow:.

Don't let the wonderful folk of Bluemoon see this :ninja:.

[Cripps_orig]

Scotland: McGregor, Whittaker, Caldwell, Berra, Bardsley, Bannan, Morrison, Cowie, Fletcher, Naismith, Goodwillie. Subs: Gilks, Crainey, Hutton, Hanley, Dorrans, Snodgrass, Forrest.

Referee: Kristinn Jakobsson (Iceland)

[Cripps_orig]

Penalty to Scotland

Just seconds before, Lithuania had a 3 on 1 but the player didnt pass :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Fletcher takes and its saved

:lol:

[Master Splinter]

Fletcher :haha:.

Scotland :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fletcher. :haha:

[GP]

Fletcher :haha:.

Scotland :haha:.

It's funny cos he's ugly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scotland 1-0 Lithuania, Naismith.

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 Scotland

Naismith

[Cripps_orig]

:haha:

Cuntregas is better though tbh.

Or just cunt.

[Cripps_orig]

I have used that before. Might do so again

1-0 Spain

Negredo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So 10 minutes or so left of Scotland's game. I wonder how they'll screw this one up this time.

[GP]

So 10 minutes or so left of Scotland's game. I wonder how they'll screw this one up this time.

And I wonder whose fault it will be this time?

[Cripps_orig]

2-0 Spain

Negredo

We need a striker. Negredo would be a good shout. Which GWer was obsessed with him?

Either him or Llorente whos on the bench today would be fine

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And I wonder whose fault it will be this time?

I'll say...UEFA for making them play 90 minutes. :good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Spain

Negredo

We need a striker. Negredo would be a good shout. Which GWer was obsessed with him?

Either him or Llorente whos on the bench today would be fine

It was El who was obsessed by Negredo I am sure of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Spain, Xavi.

[Cripps_orig]

3-0

Xacuntvi

[Cripps_orig]

Only the 2 games in this group still playing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scotland win 1-0.

:yikes:

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 FT

2 points behind the Czechs with 2 games left.

Both have Spain left to play.

Czechs go to Lithuania which will be tough considering they lost to them at home. Scots go to Liechtenstein next

Its possible Scotland could be 2nd going in to the final group games

[Niall_Quinn]

2-0 Spain

Negredo

We need a striker. Negredo would be a good shout. Which GWer was obsessed with him?

Either him or Llorente whos on the bench today would be fine

It would kill Chamakh. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Spain, Ramos.

[Cripps_orig]

Ramos :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0, David Villa.

:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Cuntegras came on at half time

[Cripps_orig]

6-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-0, David Villa with his second.

[Cripps_orig]

6-0 FT

Spain are through

[Cripps_orig]

7/10/11 Czech Republic v Spain

8/10/11 Liechtenstein v Scotland

11/10/11 Spain v Scotland

11/10/11 Lithuania v Czech Republic

Scots should go in to the last round of games in 2nd place. Then all they have to do is beat Spain in Spain

In short

Scots :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain vs Scotland will be on TV I imagine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky starts.

Mata and David Silva start for Spain. Santi Cazorla, Thiago, Fernando Llorente and David Villa are on the bench. :lol: And they're missing Iniesta and Cesc through injury.

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 Spain

Mata

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Spain, Mata. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Spain, Xabi Alonso.

Too good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hubschman sent off, horror tackle on Xabi Alonso apparently. And Alonso has had to go off injured.

[Cripps_orig]

FFS

Take Xavi out ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain win. Again.

[Cripps_orig]

Spain win 2-0

Torres was hauled off on the hour :lol:

Ramos was subbed at half time

Hope thats not an injury

[Cripps_orig]

Scotland lead 1-0

This isnt on tv :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It is. 990.

[Cripps_orig]

On the Porn channels?

Makes sense tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is surely set-up too perfectly for another glorious failure by Scotland.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scotland win! :faint:

[Jofnn]

Scotland win! :faint:

:faint: indeed!!

Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

[Cripps_orig]

Spain v Scotland is on BBC2 on Tuesday

Live football on the BBC :faint:

They are back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

During Football Focus Dan Walker said that Arteta would be in the studio for the Spain game.

[Syn]

First time...I think ever - I'll be supporting the Scots. They will of course get humiliated though which is my second choice.

No valiant efforts please...either Scotland kick their way to crippling Spain and winning or Spain net double-figures.

[Marc Overmars]

What's the deal with play-offs in Euro qualifying?

I remember campaigns where the 2nd place team has qualified automatically. Then I also remember we had a play-off with Scotland for Euro 2000.

And yeah, 'mon the Jocks. The banter would be good next summer if they were there, along with Ireland.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More internationals. It's what the average fan wants. :unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

If Scots make the play offs, you'd have to say they have a decent chance of winning them cos none of the other teams in them are likely to be the big ass countries

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is Scotland we're talking about. Someone out there will make a last minute dive to deny them in the play-offs.

[Cripps_orig]

You make a good point.

If they do make it to next summer, we should bring Marc back for the duration

[Rors]

A non-tournament international match live on the BBC? Zuh :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think it's the start of a common trend, unfortunately.

[Rors]

Eck and Arteta as the pundits. No Hansen, but then considering the two sides today are neutral nations for him it's not much of a surprise.. :whistle:

Is Eck pissed?

[Rors]

There are the Tartan Army. Never knowingly self-stereotyping :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eck and Arteta as the pundits. No Hansen, but then considering the two sides today are neutral nations for him it's not much of a surprise.. :whistle:

Is Eck pissed?

Is he Glaswegian?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes starts for Spain.

[Rors]

Is he Glaswegian?

'Eck :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Was reported Casillas would sit this out so he can equal the Spanish Caps record v England

[Cripps_orig]

This is also on BBC website so might watch this on that and stick to the Irish game on tv

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Spanish players are refusing to sing the national anthem again.

:Tyldesley:

[Rors]

The Spanish players are refusing to sing the national anthem again.

:Tyldesley:

:haha: Classic

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain: Valdes, Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Pique, Jordi Alba, Xavi, Busquets, Silva, Santi Cazorla, Villa, Pedro.
Subs: Casillas, Javi Martinez, Torres, Mata, Arbeloa, Llorente, Thiago.

Scotland: McGregor, Hutton, Berra, Caldwell, Bardsley, Morrison, Fletcher, Adam, Bannan, Mackail-Smith, Naismith.
Subs: Marshall, Whittaker, Cowie, Robson, Forrest, Goodwillie, McManus.

Referee: Stefan Johannesson (Sweden)

Not a bad bench for Spain really. Ignoring Torres, of course.

[Cripps_orig]

For all of Spains talents, LB isnt what id say a very strong position

Tine for Jose Enrique tbh

[Master Splinter]

Reina :lol:.

Can't even oust Valdes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lawro is co-commentating. :lol:

And tbf, Spain can probably afford to be weak (comparitively weak that is) in the fullback area.

[Rors]

"David De Gea doesn't even make the squad yet" - Mowbray.

Well duh.

[Cripps_orig]

Tbf De Gea is quality and arguably their next full time number 1 after Casillas

Anyway more importantly, no Rosicky for Czechs in the squad

Dead again?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain 1-0 Scotland, David Silva.

Just brilliant.

[Rors]

McGregor :rose:

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 Spain

Silva

Could be double figures here

[Rors]

Over to you then Lithuania...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Czech Republic, Kadlec pel.

[Cripps_orig]

Kadlec penalty

Scotland :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great chance for Scotland there.

[Rors]

Time to bring Archie Gemmill on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McGregor saves from Cazorla.

[Rors]

This one could get ugly in a hurry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro scuffs it, McGregor just about saves it. David Silva is far too good.

[Master Splinter]

Bannan has looked decent recently though.

Good news.

For Villa.

[Rors]

Bannan has looked decent recently though.

Good news.

For Villa.

:good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Puyol header just wide.

[Marc Overmars]

Their movement is just ridiculous.

Hope someone stops them next summer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think one more goal for Spain and then Scotland will adopt the approach of kicking the shit out of them; it's the only way.

[Master Splinter]

Hope someone stops them next summer.

Van Bommel :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

I think one more goal for Spain and then Scotland will adopt the approach of kicking the shit out of them; it's the only way.

Can't wait.

[Cripps_orig]

Their movement is just ridiculous.

Hope someone stops them next summer.

Germans or the Dutch tbh

[Cripps_orig]

0-2 Czechs

Rezek

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Czech Republic.

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a tackle from Pique.

[Marc Overmars]

Jocks. :wave:

[Syn]

Is there any need in the little flicks? They're not designed to gain an advantage - they're just purely to humiliate the opposition. If it was anyone other than Scotland on the receiving end, I'd be urging them to snap the greasy fucks in half. It's just so unnecessary.

[Marc Overmars]

Germans or the Dutch tbh

Germany. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Charlie Adams :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's up with Pedro? He must be replaying that miss from the World Cup.

Adam. :haha: The very definition of a Hollywood player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is there any need in the little flicks? They're not designed to gain an advantage - they're just purely to humiliate the opposition. If it was anyone other than Scotland on the receiving end, I'd be urging them to snap the greasy fucks in half. It's just so unnecessary.

Wrong forum to pose the question: is WUMming necessary?

[Syn]

Wrong forum to pose the question: is WUMming necessary?

I don't understand. Explain.

[Coney]

I think one more goal for Spain and then Scotland will adopt the approach of kicking the shit out of them; it's the Dutch way.

Fixed it for you. :good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa offside.

:faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't understand. Explain.

Thought it was self-explanatory. Spain do flicks = riles opposition. GW = WUM central. Both are seemingly necessary.

[Syn]

Thought it was self-explanatory. Spain do flicks = riles opposition. GW = WUM central. Both are seemingly necessary.

I still don't get it. But if you're annoyed with me getting pissed off with the silly little flicks, have a day off Teresa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I still don't get it. But if you're annoyed with me getting pissed off with the silly little flicks, have a day off Teresa.

Dear me. No I am not pissed off with you. :lol:

And people wonder why we usually embellish posts with emoticons.

What I am saying is, I don't think you'll get an answer on here saying why wumming the opposition is not necessary, when it's pretty much GW's thing.

[Cripps_orig]

Syn :lol:

Good chance for Fletcher

Goes over

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos booked. What a GHEL.

[Syn]

Dear me. No I am not pissed off with you. :lol:

And people wonder why we usually embellish posts with emoticons.

Good. :smooch:

edit: Ah, I see.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run from Morrison, blazes the cross er across though.

[Cripps_orig]

Scotland have got in to quite a few decent positions

FInal ball is a bit shit though

[Master Splinter]

Jim Morrison :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from McGregor to deny Cazorla.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain 2-0 Scotland, David Silva. What a player. :(

[Cripps_orig]

2-0 Spain

Silva

Hes pretty good

[Cripps_orig]

2-0 HT

Scots are out

[Cripps_orig]

Linekers facial hair :sick:

[Syn]

When they're in front of goal, they [The Spanish] all seem to do that thing of nudging it 50 times to get around the defender and then slam it in with no backlift. I remember Reyes used to do it for us too. Whereas RVP, Rooney etc. hardly ever look to shimmy it..they just take longer to wind up for the shot. Definitely seems to be more of a Spanish thing.

In other news, Arteta :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get Arteta on as player/manager tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Eck wants someone to do David Silva's hamstring in (well, a wee knick he calls it). What a man.

[Cripps_orig]

0-3 Czechs HT

Rezek again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC. :haha:

What the hell? Somebody doesn't want Damian Johnson's match report going out.

[Cripps_orig]

Puyol hauled off

Arbeloa on :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva tried wrapping his foot around that one, pretty tough to score like that though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bardsley gives Pedro a good kicking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain 3-0 Scotland, David Villa. What a goal. David Silva assist, shockingly, though it was a pretty good team goal.
.
David Silva off, Thiago on. Bit depressing really.

[Cripps_orig]

3-0

Villa

Silva assist

Hauled off now though

Thiago on

[Master Splinter]

I think Silva's substitution is about as non-hauled off as you can get tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Never rated Silva when he played for Valencia.

Was shite at Euro 2008 and the WC and didnt look all that for Valencia

Man City have changed him. Mancini :bow:

Next Arsenal manager when Wenger leaves soon hopefully?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forrest and Goodwillie on, Adam and Bannan off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Llorente on.

BBC reliably told us it was David Villa. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Goodwillie and Forrest on for Scots

Bannan and Adam off

Villa off for Spain

Llorente on.

Torres :lol:

Ok Xavi is off instead

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Scotland!

Valdes. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Jocks penalty!!!!!!!!

Valdes :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spain 3-1 Scotland, Goodwillie.

[Cripps_orig]

3-1

Goodwillie scores

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes went flapping.

[Cripps_orig]

Scotland close to a 2nd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fletcher booked. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Spain conceding. :haha:

Yeah, straws I know.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What was Valdes doing?

Goodwillie clears it on his behalf though anyway.

[Cripps_orig]

Goodwillie :haha:

Also Valdes is shit

No wonder Barca are after Ssdmfnsf,mnsfny

[Cripps_orig]

Lithuania 1-3

Sernas

[Cripps_orig]

Czechs are down to 10 as well

You never know...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Busquets. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Busquets :lol:

[Syn]

Never rated Silva when he played for Valencia.

Was shite at Euro 2008 and the WC and didnt look all that for Valencia

Nah he was always good. Seems to be a lot more prolific now though. Nasri and him in the same team is what will win Man City the title. Silva is a bit better than Nasri right now but they're similar players. Two of them in-form would be near unplayable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Morrison booked, gave Jordi Alba a good kicking.

[Syn]

Morrison should be off for that. Made no attempt to play the ball. I like it. Lovely petulant hack.

[Cripps_orig]

Lawrenson is such a mong

Someone should slap the cunt.

Llorente is a quality player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did that Thiago make that pass? :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Darren Fletcher hauled off, Cowie on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Cazorla missed that?

[Cripps_orig]

1-4 Czechs

Kadlec with his 2nd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Caldwell sticks one on Pique.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 full time.

[Cripps_orig]

3-1 FT

On to Group C and D

[Cripps_orig]

This Thiagos a bit shit isnt he?

Hardly heard his name after he came on.

Dont even know what he looks like

Barcas youth project :rose:

[Cripps_orig]

When did Arteta play with Villa? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maybe at some very low age Spain level? No idea though really.

[Master Splinter]

Nah he was always good. Seems to be a lot more prolific now though. Nasri and him in the same team is what will win Man City the title. Silva is a bit better than Nasri right now but they're similar players. Two of them in-form would be near unplayable.

Nasri isn't even 1/10th as creative as Silva.

Very different players.
