Good luck to Scotland tomorrow. Here’s hoping a big win, with lot’s of early goals to get Scott Brown off the field and resting early. 
No worries, Matt. Just one from Broon will be plenty, then he can rest. He did well for his country on Saturday, and we’ll ask him to do it again. Thanks for the well wishes, even though I know that the injuries are more important to you than the result. Cheers.
Good Luck Guys, from the Dutch Blog !! I do hope to see Scotland in South Africa and wish you all the best. If complacency sets in the Holland Camp then you’ll do well. Will a draw do ? I think too many Dutch player want to impress the coach – thet are really not playing for anything else. Here’s to a good game !

Nikolai – If you have access to ESPN 360, it’s playing there. As for regular (not online) TV, it will be on Sky Sports HD 2.
Looks like Scotland’s watching from TV, next summer. Maybe even get to watch some England games.:)

Hopefully some Ireland ones, John – those are a little easier to stomach.

Purely out of curiousity, I’m assuming you have tickets for a match of some sort in South Africa next year. How was the process of getting them for you? Only that I’m halfway tempted to try and get some tickets, but I’m not sure what the process is like. If it’s too much money and too much grief, then I’ll probably give it a skip, but maybe you can offer some advice?
Watched bits and pieces of your game tonight, saw Miller smacking that mishit cross off the crossbar and O’Connor’s shot squirming past the post, then Elia’s goal. Couldn’t offer much of an opinion on the side, the only match I saw of the 8 was the 4-0 in Oslo, and the less said about that the better. Shame you won’t be there though. Maybe lend us your support if we get there? 
England in + Scotland out = Sweetest day in history.

Ahh, the English trolls don’t take long to show up. Eugene, I will definitely be supporting the Irish if you make it. In fact, the next post on this blog will be about that very subject, throwing our support behind Ireland.
Oh, and to answer your question, I got match tickets in the first round of bidding back in March, and they were expensive, but really not much more than a Premiership ticket these days. I think they’ve gone up since then, but check out FIFA’s page for availability. The biggest thing that sucks is that you have to commit before you know who plays where. If you’re a member of one of the official Ireland supporters groups, you may be able to get tickets later through them.
I may be wrong, but looking at the table standings Scotland wouldn’t have made it through even if they won, correct? Oh well, there’s always 2012…
Drew – A win would have put us on 13 points, and second ranked (for now) among the second-placed teams, because of the weird and confusing system of removing the results against the last-placed finisher in each group other than ours. Anyway, doesn’t matter now, but yes, a win would have probably let us through.
From the Dutch blog again – Sad to see the Scots not make it. You have the best fans, the most courageous players and superb team work. Just dont have the super talent (Law/Jordan/Bremner etc) of one or two exceptional players. We were lucky and you were solid. Good luck in the future.

Nevermind, who wants to go to South Africa anyway? It’s too hot and the noise fae those horns would drive a sane man doo-lally. No, Poland/Ukraine 2012 is where it’s all going to be happening.

It’ll be winter in South Africa though Seb.
Thought the Scottish NT played well and were unlucky. Not sure I agree with you about Boyd though. He’s got a reputation of bottling it big games. I think he has one or two, if any goals, with Rangers against Celtic, Hearts, Aberdeen.
Believe me, Matt – I’m as far from a Kris Boyd fan as it comes, after the way he abandoned his country. I just think we need someone who pokes in goals, and he certainly does that.
Aye who wants to go to South Africa anyway as Seb said – I had plans at any rate – getting married at the end of May and honeymooning in the Maldives at least now I can laugh at the English and the commentators oozing quotes on how England will win the World Cup because of how great they are and how brilliant Rooney is etc.
Mon everyone who plays against the English.

Jan from the Dutch blog here…
Sorry for your loss guys. I actually would have loved to see the Scots at the WC. I do think you didn’t lose it against Holland, but against the smaller nations in our group.
Make sure someone tells Miller how to score a goal from that position, alright?
Jan-There’s a reason he was known as “Kenny Misser” in his time at Celtic.
Idont agree,i think burley was worst than berti,at least we went to the play off and won at home,i know the disaster after but at least wi won once.anyway cannot get any worst now,lets play for sum luck.
Posted from United Kingdom
Well, whether Burley or Berti were worse, we both agree they were both pretty awful. As you say, nowhere to go but up.

Sometimes you have to take what you’re given. A good and perhaps uplifting win for the squad, manager, and country.

It is said that courtesy costs nothing but brings a lot. One can easily win the heart of others by being courteous.
