U-21 Euro Qualifying: Azerbaijan 0-4 Scotland
Yes, we did have a senior match today, and no, I don’t want to talk about it. The abject failure of the George Burley era of Scotland football continued today with a 3-0 defeat to a quite average Wales side. We were awful. Enough said.
On to the good news. There is some hope for the future, as the Scotland U-21 side went alone at the top of Euro 2011 U-21 qualifying with a 4-0 road win over Azerbaijan today. After 5 matches, that puts the young lads at 4 wins and a loss, and a 2-point lead over Austria for the group. Well done to today’s goalscorers, Scott Arfield, Jamie Murphy (x2) and Rory Loy.
The U-21s are out of qualifying action until March, and have 3 matches remaining including the group’s final game in September, at home to Austria, which might very well decide the group.
Please keep the campaign alive, boys. There is precious little else to cheer about right now for a Scotland fan, and that looks nothing like changing anytime soon.
