@ses101 @LM93CFC @ScotlandNT @FIFAWorldCup Adams has the one attribute that none of the other strikers possess- pace. So he will be used, either from start or off the bench, in the games against Brazil and Morocco where Scotland will play on the counter attack

@LoganCl10147353 @Calum1998_ @ScotlandNT @FIFAWorldCup Having Halkett play on one leg could be a risk

[Simon Wright @Paperbackwright]

@Calum1998_ @ScotlandNT @FIFAWorldCup He's not very good and Ross Stewart is in good goal scoring form

[Simon Wright @Paperbackwright]

@MarkRalston @LM93CFC @ScotlandNT @FIFAWorldCup And Tierney's not a centre back in a flat back 4 formation.

[Simon Wright @Paperbackwright]

@LM93CFC @ScotlandNT @FIFAWorldCup Don't think there's any way that Shankland will get the lone striker role. His best chance of starting is if Clarke decides to play 2 up front vs Haiti. Will be an impact sub maybe in the games against Brazil and Morocco

@ScotlandNT @FIFAWorldCup Bowie and Lennon Miller are unlucky. Other than that, most of the debate on here seems to be about players who, realistically, would have been making up the numbers if selected. A 26 player squad is far too big & there'll be a bunch of players who won't get near the action

@10Anthonygordon @FBAwayDays Having watched games in both England and Scotland, that's a hilarious comment. Scottish fans are far louder but also far harsher on their own players. Couldn't believe the abuse dished out to their own players for things like wayward passes when I moved to Scotland

@ErinGrieve17 @dadbegg What if Hearts winning it convinced a rich fan to invest in Aberdeen? It must be possible for someone to do a Jack Walker, at a fraction of the cost, with one of Scotland's non old firm teams

@KeruboSk Me. My grandad, born in 1896, died 1977 when I was little

I'd love for that partnership to happen!

I feel like @PrimeVideo would be the perfect home for this. They love sci-fi and were great to our show! They also have some great animated shows.

Make it happen Amazon and Team Firefly! 🤠 @NathanFillion

@Zeshankenzo Dreadful that a player gets attacked. Hope the police take action.
But the football coach in me also wants to say dreadful technique from the thug - that's got to be a left-footed kick

[Simon Wright @Paperbackwright]

@FBAwayDays Big fines incoming for both clubs I imagine! Looks like Rangers fans led the violence but Celtic fans shouldn't have entered the pitch

[Simon Wright @Paperbackwright]

@TrumpsHurricane She will be on the right side of history. Trump has gone down the 1930s Nazi playbook which is horrifying to see play out

@bbc5live You've got me angry now with 'Forever Autumn'. Autumn is in no way weather ...

@WhichWasNice1 @WkndPlaylist @QuizmanDan @SnailOB The Iron Maiden 2 Minutes To Midnight song references the Doomsday clock

[Simon Wright @Paperbackwright]

@bbc5live @PauldMcNamee Need to research what songs The Jam have done for this one.
Only joking, Tony! 😀

@bbc5live Candlemaker, by Watercress
'I wish I could have seen her face
When they were knocking down the door
Because the house was burning down,
And she didn't even know.'

Paul McNamee will know this one. Great band from Belfast

@wooshy90 @bbc5live Labour and the Lib Dems positioned themselves in fairly centre territory at the last general election. For Labour that was a definite repositioning after the Corbyn years
