It was very encouraging to see us actually proper take the game to someone in the second half, not sure I've ever really seen that from Scotland before. Personally I would have liked to see us drop a centre back for the last 10-15 and go 4231/442 but overall it was encouraging. Lets see how we do against Switzerland I guess.

Watched Smith several times for Queens. While he can be a much needed ray of light for them at times, I don’t think he’s got the consistency or physicality for us or the premier division in general. He is only 22 mind you so he could become the next mcpake but right now I don’t see him being a player for us.

Early days but not sure the new front trio did a lot to show they’ll fare much better than dykes, Adams and Shankland. Mcburnie got himself involved as the game went on but doesn’t look like a goalscorer and I thought Ure looked half a yard too slow. Bowie looked better but his efforts on goal were pretty feeble. Maybe all finding their way in a new setup but they’ll all need to be better if we’re to progress.

I just read it as "Rinky Dink", which seems apt.

I've mentioned him before but Liam Smith is on fire at QOTS this last few weeks. Can float in and out but when he's good, he's really good.

What happened to Ireland? They have a weird obsession with Israel.

😂😂😂 Just wanted to ensure something so worthy of mass hilarity didn't slip under the radar and stuck it in the most obvious place 😉

Ireland are to wear black armbands when they play Israel. Does this not fall foul of the "no political statements" rule in fitba?

I would have but some old cunt beat me to it. 😉

Aye put that in The Lets All Laugh At Hearts thread 😉

Finished 2-1. Teasdale with Dons goal. In other news Hunbo’s B team lost 14 (fourteen) - 0 to Ross County.

2-1 down Five minutes to go

Hearts B currently 13-0 down away to Ross County in the Challenge Cup Could this be the same Ross County that we beat 4-3 a couple of weeks ago in Dingwall 😂😂😂

I’m a fan of the nations league as it makes friendlies more competitive. Sounds like this game was helpful. Didn’t see the second half but sounds like a few positives, more than negative anyway. Disappointed not to win but a decent start with the new gaffer?

Not a typical Steve Clarke 0-0 in fairness. We were very unlucky. An aggressive second half performance, with Gilmour running the show, and McBurnie and McGinn linking things up really well. I'm not overly fussed with McBurnie missing his chance, he's not where we're going to get goals from, and he's an upgrade on Dykes in that role. The wing backs were good, Ferguson very aggressive and Henry good coming forward. Gannon Doak dangerous from the bench. Few complaints overall once we settled.

An enjoyable second half despite the homer ref, despite the cheating Slovenians and despite the lack of a goal. Who would have thought a new manager could have a positive impact.

Team for game against Cove Aberdeen: 41. Rodrigo Vitols, 3. Dylan Ross, 4. Lewis Carrol, 5. Jamie Mercer, 8. Aaron Cummings, 9. Joseph Teasdale, 10. Zak To (C), 11. Jack Searle, 16. Sam McLean, 17. Emmanuel Gyamfi, 21. Joel Okhuoya Subs: 20. Conlan Waldron, 2. James Jarvie, 12. Heath Duncan, 14. Kai Gauld, 15. Bradley Chikomo, 18. Max Pocklington 0-0 currently.

How the fuck has Bowie not buried that ☹️

Better this half at least. Much more aggressive in the press.

Time for some subs. Get rid of McBurnie permanently.

Fuck me McBurnie. Nisbet would have buried that.

McBurnie is never going to score a goal for Scotland

Terrible stadium design to end up with this ridiculous shaded area.

Ended the half well when we started to get McGinn and McBurnie involved. Welsh playing in his wrong side automatically slows things down, although I think that the intention behind it is that McKenna stays central while Henry steps forward. When Henry does go forward everything opens up for us, it brings Hickey in and leaves a man free, usually McGinn or McBurnie. Ure looks good, and great to see him take on a shot instead of the easy option of passing. Early stages, but can see some positives. Will be interesting to see us progressing it. Subs will be very key. I suspect we might not see our 8 goals in the second half because of the shaded part.
