By Eck let Scots be a warning
perched right beside the airport runway, the tiny 2,300-capacity ground is brutally exposed.
Asked about getting off to a winning start and the need to build momentum, Mccarthy said: “We haven’t got any yet, have we?
“To gain any momentum, we’re going to have to start here but I really do think we should give them the respect they deserve.
“Gibraltar will be right bang at it. It’s cliched but it’s like the old FA Cup ties that we see in England all the time.
“We saw it with Scotland on Thursday. We’re really aware of what can happen, but we’re going to play as well as we can.
“I know Alex Mcleish and
We saw it with Scotland so it is a stark warning for us of what can happen
he’d have gone over there and done everything proper, but they got a bad result so it’s a stark warning of what can happen.”
Mccarthy added: “You talk about the style of football but if we win, brilliant. If we play well and win, better still.
“We can only gain momentum if we start well and get a victory and only then will I concern myself with Georgia.”
While the high winds that battered Gibraltar last night are set to intensify, Mccarthy insists this is no time for excuses.
He said: “You’re aware of where we play our football? We don’t play in ideal conditions all the time in terms of weather.
“That’s nothing that concerns me as we can’t do anything about it.
“It is what it is and we’ll get on with it.”
