Listen to the noise, listen to the passion in Hamden Park.
0:08
Let's jump again. Let's start it.
0:13
Let's move on the grain. Down by dunvish chance, down for
0:18
Scotland. Hello and welcome back to the
0:29
Scots with my podcast I'm back your host Finn Crocker.
0:33
I'm with James Scott today talking about that dramatic game
0:36
last night against Greece and Athens obviously didn't come
0:39
away with the result. We were hoping going into the
0:41
game we needed a draw is what we thought.
0:44
We ended up with a three two loss battling back from three
0:47
nil down at one point. But luckily Belarus of the one
0:51
was a big favour drawn away in Denmark after being one nil
0:56
down, they came back to to lead to one.
0:58
At even one point Denmark equalised.
1:00
Then it was a long wait after full time to see if they would
1:03
hang on. They did.
1:04
And now it's all in our hands. Come Tuesday, a win and we are
1:08
at the World Cup for the first time since 1998.
1:12
Can we do it? What do you think, James?
1:17
I mean, if we play as good as we played at the best parts on
1:21
Saturday night, I think we definitely can.
1:24
But if we play from much of how we started the game to buy a
1:29
different story. But yeah, I mean it's on our own
1:31
hands. That's the main thing stuff is
1:34
the case of common events. Thank you.
1:37
Look at length about the different combination results
1:39
that could happen. But a Belarus when or draw was
1:43
not something that ever came across.
1:45
I have discussion and that's the way that's how it ended up.
1:49
Yeah, I mean, Belarus have not got a point before that game
1:54
yesterday and obviously they looked a bit better against us
1:56
at Hampden, but no one expected them to to get a point.
2:01
So. So it's really good to see them.
2:02
Obviously we started extremely well.
2:05
The first sort of five to 10 minutes we actually were on the
2:08
front foot, I feel like. And then the defensive
2:11
performance from I think Grant Hanley and John Seuter last
2:14
night was was woeful. I think Grant Hanley on that
2:16
first goal. Yeah, I think it was Grant
2:21
Hanley or maybe it was John Suitor.
2:23
Where the ball. And John Suitor for the first
2:25
goal, you get kind of just tied in knots.
2:27
Him and Andy Robertson kind of go, go, go with a runner, you
2:31
know, and say one of them staying with the man.
2:32
I think it's John Suitor's really stay with the guy there
2:34
and just you don't like the. Block yeah, I think, I don't
2:37
know if it was John, John Suitor or Grant Hanley who actually
2:40
comes out to the man. And then as he's as he's
2:43
reaching the guy, he actually almost like kind of stops and
2:45
pauses and that kind of allows the guy to to shift.
2:48
Yeah. I mean, it's, I mean The thing
2:50
is as well, one of the most disappointing things that
2:52
concede now was Craig Gordon made a fantastic save and then,
2:58
you know, passing pass, like I said, that's even gets the ball
3:01
and slots away to make it on now.
3:04
So I watched that possible in that aspect.
3:07
Yeah, I mean, as you said, Craig Gordon made I think throughout
3:09
the game quite a few big saves to keep us in the game at first,
3:14
then I want to. Say given three nil.
3:19
A really, really bad start. I think it wasn't even until the
3:22
45th minute or an injury time where we actually had a first
3:25
shot on target. Obviously McDonald had that
3:29
chance. Really nice layoff by I think it
3:32
was Christy, maybe Chatham, I'm not sure.
3:35
And he hit the bar from that shot.
3:37
Then it was Che Adams at the back Post.
3:38
What a massive chance he had with that header and that went
3:41
wide. And then the last chance, the
3:43
half, Ben Duke, one-on-one really good movement to to get
3:47
that chance for himself. And then he has to for me,
3:50
either put that near post, lay it back or chip the goalkeeper.
3:54
I think far post was the wrong choice there.
3:56
Obviously he did get his his first senior Scotland goal later
4:00
in that game in that kind of fight back that we saw in the
4:04
second-half, which we'll talk about.
4:06
Yeah. But going into halftime, one
4:08
nil, despite how many chances Greece had, just because of how
4:14
many chances we had at the end of that first half, you kind of
4:16
felt like we should have been level.
4:19
Yeah. I mean, we went in half time
4:22
forward income at the best time for us, but it was a chance to
4:25
sort of reset and we knew if we came out and played how we had
4:29
been when we went and we'd be probably looking quite strong to
4:32
get a goal. And we we did that.
4:34
But we came in brilliantly. And then, you know, after a fair
4:37
bit of pressure against the run and play, you know, again, I
4:40
think it's kind of defensive mistake and highly I don't know
4:44
if I'm being unkind and seeing hesitated too much, but you
4:47
know, let's say a striker get up and round and then make but for
4:50
crisis. And it's just I mean that was
4:52
such a sucker punch because I felt worse.
4:55
We were moments away from 112 down.
4:59
Yeah, that Chay Adams chance, I think that was at one nil where
5:02
Ryan Christie's through one-on-one and he cuts it.
5:05
Yeah, he cuts it back to Chay Adams.
5:07
And again, kind of a reoccurring theme with throughout the whole
5:10
game, kind of just that split second hesitation, that maybe
5:15
lack of confidence. I'm not sure what it is, but but
5:19
we had, yeah, honestly just he is even even after he takes that
5:26
touch, he's hit it on the floor. I mean, you have to hit it high
5:29
into the net. Maybe more like London Dicks
5:32
against Greece. Hampden, obviously you were
5:35
there. James, you're in the airport
5:37
right now ready to fly back for for the game on Tuesday.
5:42
So if you can hear any background noise, apologies.
5:44
But obviously you had a different view, had the whole
5:46
build up, the whole atmosphere. Firstly, how was it in Athens in
5:50
the build up to the game? And secondly, how, how did you
5:53
feel the the the game and the atmosphere progressed as the
5:57
game went on? Obviously very up, up and down
6:01
night, obviously going three nil down.
6:03
Then the fight back thinking we're going to get that third
6:05
goal, it not happening, thinking we're out.
6:08
Then then the Belarus news. I mean, how was it all for you?
6:12
Yeah, I mean I arrived on the Friday morning, but it's usually
6:17
if she goes beside and always Budapest girlfriend for short
6:23
trap and then caught 50 LB fights on daft and so it was
6:26
decent and then you know they'll play extra away the sheer
6:29
numbers taking over. Thank you know guys in the cut
6:32
and I'm really estimating those of course, 4000 pillars
6:34
definitely a strong number in the home end and you know as the
6:38
day the Friday progressed, it was just good atmosphere, good
6:42
mood. Everyone was out making noise,
6:43
but decent areas. My fans were congregating.
6:46
I'd say the book was good. You know, realized that I speak
6:49
to someone that seemed to think we're going to lose.
6:51
Again, everyone seemed to be anticipating Scotland, at least
6:56
a draw. You know, match day came around
6:59
and again, skirts were high. You know, any Greek we spoke.
7:03
This seemed very pessimistic about the game.
7:05
I lost counting how many times they told me, oh, we've got
7:09
nothing to play for. But I always, always came back
7:12
and went, well, Scotland, I'm pretty sure on the vet, maybe
7:15
it's Scotland, maybe it's over, I can't remember.
7:17
But I seem to remember there's enough history of me going to
7:20
games where teams have nothing to play for and they gave us a
7:22
doing so. New Georgia, for example.
7:25
That's one. Don't get me started on those
7:28
games. Well, let's let's keep it.
7:30
I mean, but it's just, you know, that's how that was in it.
7:34
You know, everyone spoke to the geek was, you know, pitching a
7:37
Scotland run. I went to the dream, really good
7:42
numbers. Just again, it's a good
7:44
atmosphere. If you've been out of Scotland,
7:45
you know what it's like. Everyone's you know the song.
7:48
So we've got McGann and all that rest all the classets do a deer
7:51
on the train. Some of the locals want the
7:53
president. There's many some people that
7:54
are on their commute home after I sat out there working so.
7:58
A few renditions of Alexandria. Never might have been Yeah, it
8:03
was do a deer on the train that got me.
8:04
I like I like do agree a lot of the younger the younger
8:08
generation and the and that one. But I do like it yeah.
8:12
And, you know, we got onto the ground and I mean, the first
8:15
thing it struck me was how purely the Greeks had shown up.
8:18
I mean, it's a dead rubber. But when I say the place was
8:20
empty, it really felt like it, you know, less than how I feel.
8:24
That's that's what it struck me as most of who looked when were
8:28
kids, you know, when you just know by the sound that crowd,
8:31
it's quite a young audience. That's how it struck me.
8:34
And it's everything seemed to be pointing towards, you know, the
8:36
cage not there. We were making all the noise and
8:39
nothing like March. Hopefully we could, you know,
8:43
she kept going 1 and that's not how it went.
8:45
Like you said, we started quite clearly generally take any risks
8:50
then get the ball moving about quick and we're capitalized on
8:53
that. And the fans really stuck with
8:55
the team because you know, once we've gotten to half time and
8:58
the ward around the guys that were sending me was, you know,
9:01
the signs of life in there. You know, we started digging
9:03
purely, but we're showing it now.
9:05
We come out, we can do it second goal win and actually the fans
9:08
are still with the team at that point.
9:10
That is, you know again 2 two goals down.
9:13
It seems achievable, which obviously was because reminds
9:15
the bad two goals when the third goal went in the place dead
9:20
start to empty. A lot of people got off and left
9:22
that I met, but always things. Crazy from the Scotland awake
9:25
roads. Yeah, wow, wow.
9:28
How, how how much it cost to go from?
9:31
Yeah, I will never leave from an away game.
9:33
Never. Yeah, yeah, I've watched the
9:35
overs. Going to be 5 one.
9:36
I didn't leave early. Yeah, and I was in Athens when
9:38
we got beat 69. Well, we weren't allowed to
9:40
leave after 50th minute, but I wouldn't.
9:43
I don't know if they're, I don't know if they were allowed to
9:45
leave Ben Dope scores so quickly.
9:47
Those guys are trying to make their way down the stairs
9:49
towards exits that hadn't even reached the exit yet, so kind of
9:52
stopped and then went back and took their seats.
9:55
Yeah, then they. Came back, yeah.
9:57
Yeah, And then Keste gets a goal.
9:59
And to be honest, at that point, I genuinely, genuinely thought
10:02
it was just a matter of time before we thought, you know, I
10:05
didn't have so much confidence in the sport when they were
10:07
going up. And I just thought, it's coming.
10:09
I just thought it's coming. There was a similar roar for the
10:12
second Belarus goal in the stadium.
10:14
Like, because I heard that going up and I was like, I thought it
10:16
was just like a rallying title of players.
10:19
And the guy next to me is Gabby went it's 21 to Belarus and
10:22
that, you know, at that point I was like, right, steady.
10:25
They're still so compatible in both games, you know, I mean,
10:28
but yeah, they obviously managed a high on that was that was that
10:33
was what made them so interesting because I mean,
10:35
before, just before the Emmet comedy was going to squat goal,
10:39
it seemed like we'd thrown absolute everything after and
10:42
come short. But we knew the score in
10:44
Copenhagen. We knew there was 7 minutes had
10:47
it on that it really only just started when our 94th minute.
10:51
Eventually we knew and kid you not, you looked around and
10:54
everyone just go to their phones.
10:56
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how we only got 4 minutes, by the
10:59
way, It should have been at least 7, as John McGinn said in
11:01
his interview, I think, yeah, I was about to say, I think it's a
11:05
travesty we only got 4. The referee was I think per all
11:09
night and I think that's the most chances I think I've ever
11:14
seen a Scotland team create, whether it's again San Marino,
11:17
Lichtenstein, Cyprus, I think that's the most big chances I've
11:20
seen, was great and they were all in the second, second-half.
11:24
That's enough chances for a campaign, Yeah, like.
11:27
Honestly. Yeah, honestly, chances across.
11:29
All four other games, it's just it's just it's crazy, yeah.
11:33
We could have scored five or six there and on another day we
11:36
obviously do. It didn't go our way in that
11:39
game, but obviously we got a fortune elsewhere, which in
11:44
previous campaigns you feel like we haven't got those results to
11:47
go our way. So like we said in September,
11:50
we're riding our luck a bit. It's the sign of a good team
11:54
when when you play badly. But but when?
11:56
Anyway, we didn't win tonight, but we got a bit of luck and
12:00
yeah, maybe it's just falling our way and maybe it is is our
12:03
year. Yeah, I know.
12:05
So for me like there was just like I said, I don't know if I
12:08
mentioned already about the fact that those getting that result
12:11
against what mentioned about the pot.
12:13
One side thing, the Belarus. Or no, it's not.
12:16
Yeah, like I honestly, I've not checked about if someone, I
12:19
don't think there will have been in Hustler a game where Belarus
12:23
has taken a point away from home off the pot one side.
12:26
Yeah. Must be a first in their history
12:29
of the national team of that to come on the night where we.
12:33
Need that to happen. It's just.
12:34
That it's just, and for me, something's cooking here,
12:37
something there's extra forces at work.
12:39
Like I mean if someone tells me you're going to get to the whole
12:42
cup, you're going to get absolute torture to get there,
12:45
you're going to miss all these chances and Greece, it's going
12:47
to feel time. You're going to have to wait for
12:48
7 minutes because the team that moved the sentence halfway,
12:51
we're just sat there for 7 minutes all waiting and then
12:53
someone at the front got a notification 1st and the roar
12:55
that went up. It's just.
12:57
Oh, I can imagine. Tuesday night it's going to be
13:00
it's going to be different. I mean, yeah, we've, we've not
13:04
qualified. We've we've obviously 2024
13:08
euros. We officially qualified after
13:12
Norway drew with Spain €2020.00. We obviously qualified through
13:21
the playoffs and it was COVID, so we didn't get that moment.
13:24
So we've not had that one moment at Hampden yet since I think God
13:30
19, I'll get it up 1990 where we drew one run against Norway to
13:35
qualify for the World Cup. So we've not had that moment in
13:39
so long and I think if we do get that on Tuesday it would be it
13:46
just be such a moment to save her.
13:47
I think all everyone in the country that's followed the team
13:50
a holding way for so long deserves that moment.
13:53
Obviously probably the most supported country outside of
13:56
just the host in Germany at the 2024 Euros.
13:59
We brought so many fans over and it was such a great experience.
14:01
I was there for the full thing and yeah, I hope that we can do
14:06
it. I hope we can get to to the USA
14:10
and let's hope that the the team can can do it.
14:13
Let's all get behind the team, Steve Clark said in his press
14:16
conference after the game. We need the whole, we need the
14:18
the Tartan Army to get behind to get behind us.
14:21
He said that one of his favorite quotes to tell the players is to
14:24
play with an anticipation of success, not the fear of
14:27
failure. And he's going to ask the same
14:29
with the Hun hunting crowds. So yeah, if we can all get
14:32
behind the team, we all know how special Hampden can be and let's
14:36
hope for for a win. And something else to touch on,
14:40
there has been reports of a of a big sickness bug going around
14:44
the the Danish camp which ruled out Rasmus Hoyland and Joaquin
14:49
Anderson of Fulham out of the game against Bellerose.
14:52
How big maybe that was because what, on another day they're
14:56
both in the team and maybe Holland scores a couple, I don't
14:58
know. So let's hope that spreads as
15:01
much as possible. Hopefully it's nothing serious,
15:03
but hopefully it's just enough that they they missed the
15:05
Scotland game. Yeah, I don't know who's been
15:08
wasting their shit for whatever. So one of those style game
15:12
reactions where you know the actual.
15:15
Undercover Scottish, Yeah. Yeah, but the guy is putting
15:18
that it's the the guy that's the hygiene fig it's going on.
15:22
He's putting stuff in the soup. It's making everyone sick.
15:25
They catch on CCTV someone saying that Steve Clark placing
15:28
the the canteen food that the best.
15:32
Yeah, but yes, I mean, it's yeah.
15:34
I mean, again, that's a matter of fact that it's coming into
15:36
that like it's just it's something it's just so strange.
15:40
You know, I thought that make it you, you'd look back and go
15:42
well. What a peculiar.
15:44
It's all these little things that that are going our way,
15:47
yeah. Like that's touching what you
15:49
said at hand and like for me, I've been a wee bit disappointed
15:52
in recent years when things my valuable in Scotland very proud
15:55
haven't backed them. You know it isn't.
15:58
It doesn't take much for the crowd to turn.
16:00
I know we were really disappointed in September, but
16:03
even their way support was superb And and and after you
16:07
think we're two mil down team was still getting backed.
16:11
You can see the farther less like people seem to always
16:14
actually fair. But as soon as dog got the goal,
16:15
you know, they they were really around the 12th man and that can
16:19
be a difference around benefits. It's got a full house. 52,000
16:22
people get behind the team first minute class.
16:24
Do you know what, even if we end up going to nil down, just like
16:26
in Athens, we have proved so many times the team don't know
16:29
when they're beat and they keep on the final whistle.
16:31
So we've seen so many crazy things on supporting Scotland
16:35
over the years. You know, don't let don't let
16:38
little things get in the way of creating defensive atmosphere
16:42
possible for players in the first night last because they
16:45
look determined, they look they really want to.
16:47
I just get a feeling. Yeah.
16:49
I mean, no more than Andy Robertson.
16:51
No more than Andy Robertson. I think you can see in old press
16:53
conferences recently that obviously this is his last
16:57
chance to get into a World Cup. He's won Champions Leagues, he's
17:00
won Premier Leagues, he's been to the EUR of his country, but
17:03
he's never been to the World Cup, obviously.
17:05
And that's something that he's, I'm guessing, dreamed of since
17:09
he's a little kid. So for him to be able to
17:11
accomplish that, I think he'd be absolutely chuffed.
17:13
So, yeah, looking ahead to Tuesday, obviously there's been
17:17
calls for Trey Adams to be benched, maybe Grant Hanley to.
17:21
Would you make any changes? There's been a lot of Hearts fan
17:25
saying Craig Calcott and Lawrence Shankly need to start.
17:28
Personally, I think Lyndon Dykes would be better up front.
17:30
And then obviously Doke and Megan kind of the same as as
17:35
last night. Would you make any changes and
17:37
if So, what would it be? Yeah, I think, I think she, she
17:42
did a good background for us in Athens.
17:45
You know, no, the, the financial was more bizarre than that one.
17:50
But he did put in a good share for us and I think it would be
17:52
worth chucking. And Dykes from the start there
17:55
was Dykes we've said before he tends defenders, he occupies the
17:59
space, he makes him work hard, but it's not just a one man job.
18:03
Sometimes you need to double up on him and that that does things
18:06
for the other guys. Mccomany is a more room when
18:10
he's been a total nuisance, you know, up nearly seven halves.
18:13
And I think I'd like to see that data is good in Copenhagen as
18:16
well. So you know, like whether I know
18:19
questions, you know, everybody's playing league wise.
18:22
Well, you could like hope to that level.
18:23
He's proved time and time again you can score against also
18:27
opposition and all that's been. I think she Addams as well
18:30
because I think people. Yeah, that's what I was about to
18:32
say in. Fact he's he scores against the
18:34
lesser nations but yeah, I don't know I don't know why as if it's
18:37
confidence or what wish Adams but I would like to see dates on
18:41
from the start. You mentioned Hanley as well.
18:44
He again, I've defended them for a while, but he was incredible
18:48
on on on Saturday night and in the canal.
18:53
He's playing a good level DK and week out was a grab, you know,
18:56
and I've always admired his sort of physicality as well about
18:59
when balls he's passing as well. You know, he's a good player.
19:03
So I think for me that would be the only two changes I've made.
19:06
You know, Gilmore probably even if he's fat, I can't see him
19:11
getting rest from the start. It was a shame because I don't
19:15
think either Chrysler or Ferguson off those teams about
19:18
the guys in terms of taking the balls and and have them and you
19:22
know, he takes the balls was back from the field and so I
19:24
managed to get there and get it for a pass away.
19:26
But yeah, I think I'm a happier midfield dork and again played
19:30
their best football for Scotland in a while.
19:33
So I was not too back on you in September.
19:36
So yeah, I think, I think Doug was absolutely key to obviously
19:40
it wasn't a successful fight back, but I think Doug was
19:43
absolutely sensational. He made a lot of big chances.
19:47
Obviously that cross to Mcdorman right at the end there.
19:49
I think Duke in the last few games is kind of shown that he
19:58
was a lot of people were maybe thinking that he was better off
20:00
the bench and that he wasn't ready to start.
20:03
But I think last night he really showed that he can step up in
20:05
the big moments. And like you said, and when you
20:08
touched on Dykes there, he scored in the in the big moments
20:12
for Scotland. He scored against the the upper
20:15
echelon nations, if you want to call them that, whereas
20:18
chairman's apart from obviously that that one Denmark goal last
20:22
World qualification campaign has not really scored against
20:25
anyone. I mean, I think what Pharaoh
20:27
Islands, Belarus, San Marino, Liechtenstein, those types of
20:33
nations are the ones that you scored against.
20:35
Hopefully he can prove in the future that you can score
20:38
against bigger nations, but he's not done thus far.
20:42
And so I would start like on on Tuesday and then touching on
20:47
Gilmore, I'd completely forgotten about him.
20:51
Just I just put him to the back of my mind.
20:53
I really hope he is fit for for Tuesday because he is the only
20:58
midfielder I think that really does progress the ball forward.
21:01
That's his main aim. He gets the ball and he's always
21:04
looking up, he's always looking to progress it and to get us
21:07
moving up the pitch. Whereas Ferguson and Christie,
21:10
as good as they are sometimes to just take the safe option and
21:15
you kind of need that that tenacity that Gilmore brings.
21:18
And I think he'd be a big mess if he did miss the game on
21:22
Tuesday. Yeah, because I mean Christie,
21:24
Christie, one of Christie's great strengths to give them
21:28
some praise as his ability to carry the ball on for really
21:31
good at breaking the lines for us on Saturday night.
21:34
No, he's probably with all his feet but technically gifted like
21:38
that. So but like you said, he's just
21:40
not got he's not got that ghetto my husband standing passer of
21:44
the ball and maybe spoke a dog there again.
21:48
One thing I would be critical of him that's, you know, when he
21:50
thinks he's going to have to learn to bring to his game
21:53
because it's the next step for him.
21:55
He's a brilliant dribbler. You know, he beats his mind.
21:57
He does lots of good things, but his aim follow up is still to be
22:00
desired. You know, two clean cut chances
22:03
through. I mean he did well with his
22:05
goal, but he had the chance at the end of the first half and
22:08
then he also had the chance to be scores at the Adams.
22:10
I think that went I was offside anyway.
22:12
Wasn't it something there was his flag for so it wouldn't
22:16
stood and I said I accepted, you know, from dying noted at all.
22:20
But you know, I just I feel like he's definitely got to it was a
22:25
couple of times to go around and he just wasn't first half again,
22:28
especially he's getting him behind his mind.
22:30
But then stopping put me back to Crystal and Berks and the edge
22:33
of the box just wasn't packing the right choices.
22:36
His decision making wasn't there.
22:39
You know, for the important Tommy, the end is superb and
22:41
that's what we want more from. But I really hope we can learn
22:43
to bring this game. It'll be interesting to see how
22:45
that progresses with born my over the course of the season,
22:48
because that is how he gets to the next level.
22:51
That's how he gets done and so. Yeah, I mean, he's still so
22:54
young. He's still so young.
22:55
He's just turned 20. And it's not No, it's not.
22:58
And it's not his them, you know, Yeah, you know, if he's going to
23:01
be like the next ugly class, like someone of that level, you
23:06
know, this is when he has to start doing this.
23:08
You can't if he can start doing this when he's 26, that'll you
23:11
can still be a good player for if he's going to be a world
23:15
class player in my world class, we mean, you know, hot, hot
23:20
player above not so many world class, but you know what I mean?
23:23
I'm saying that you mean the step above is the elite almost
23:26
if he if you can, you can get, but he that's somebody really
23:31
supports on his game. And you know, I just I just hope
23:34
that I mean he did play fantastic on Saturday.
23:36
He's one of the first games of the team.
23:38
Shoot for me on Tuesday night and I'd love if he could he
23:40
could grab. I don't know why either Vision
23:42
hadn't scored the last minute goal last night.
23:45
Yeah, I mean, it was too bored with goal scorers actually on
23:48
Saturday. Obviously he's still 20, but
23:51
yeah, as you said, if I mean, look at how young Billy Gilmore
23:54
was when he was chucked in against England and, and to to
23:57
kind of seize those opportunities when you get them
23:59
because you don't know how many you will get.
24:01
So, you know, Tuesday night could be one of those those
24:04
those big career defining moments where you look back and
24:06
say, you know, that's where he broke out And and let's hope
24:11
that is Tuesday. Yeah, you know, yeah.
24:13
He's the one that qualified Scotland for the World Cup for
24:15
the first time since 1998. I mean, yeah, he he he's, he's
24:20
going to get more game time at Bournemouth.
24:22
Obviously he's he's integrated and still I bet Christie will be
24:26
a big help in that. So let's hope that you can get
24:29
as much game time at Bournemouth as possible.
24:31
But first, obviously main priorities on Tuesday.
24:35
Any last messages for the Tartan Army ahead of Tuesday?
24:38
And then can I get your unbiased score opinion please?
24:43
No, Mr. Tartan Army, it's just get to Hamden on Tuesday, get in
24:47
early and get the atmosphere gone.
24:49
We want to be the 12th man, back the team all the way, no matter
24:52
how the night is going. We've seen the Scotland team do
24:55
amazing things, you know, kill, kill wins from the jaws of
24:58
defeat. We could be the 12 man and
25:00
that's, you know, that's the past.
25:03
Yeah. What was the other question?
25:05
What's your score prediction? Protection, protections,
25:08
Parliament, then after, then when I'm posted, I always put
25:11
you guys not get away with it. Yeah.
25:15
I'm not going to predict anything other than a Scotland 1
25:18
and I'm going to go to 1 score. Yeah, let's hope for another
25:23
magical night at Hamden, one that we can remember for a long,
25:25
long time. That will be to the end of
25:28
today's episode. I hope you've enjoyed.
25:29
It's been a bit of a shorter one, but we don't want to take
25:33
up too much of your time before the the big game on Tuesday.
