We were shit. Didn’t deserve it.

Is he good enough? The Dundee boy is a bench warmer and why would they want McGrath other than he’d be free and one to sit beside mccowan? He’s been good for us but in their eyes Celtic are a step above us. I’d argue miovski made the right move than ‘settling’ for Celtic but I don’t see McGrath as that level. He’d struggle to start and I think he’d want to be more than just a squad player.

So what’s the deal with his new contract? Is the sell on still in effect or do we lose that?

Didn’t see a great deal of the game but here’s my 4 takeaways - st mirren were the better team. We’ve had games where our opponents have been better in periods but have missed chances and we’ve won. We were due this game. was this a game we start shinnie palaversa and sivert? More muscle/graft? Something for JT to consider this Scottish winter. how many goals have we lost this year where our central defender(s) are to blame? Haven’t seen the first goal again but another situation where Molloy doesn’t win a header? We play in a league with plenty of long ball down the middle, an area Molloy has shown clear weakness. I know he’s done well and is young, but neither he nor ruby are consistently good. Central defense is our weak area in our team. while I say central defense is our weak area, it’s a tough choice between that and the 9. Through nisbet and sokler offered very little. We need a new 9. Maybe harsh on nisbet as he looked fit and sharp the other week, but we saw so litttle from either center forward yesterday. With nisbet only a loaner I certainly hope/expect we are looking.

To be fair to Morris he’s earned it, although I still feel he’s better off the bench. I also wonder if the conditions suit topi who has probably more experience in this type of climate, where as I assume morris will have his snowsuit on to play.

I’m meaning Scottish football in general, every game delayed and the challenge/safety of fans.

Sounds like a bit of a farce today, bit embarrassing for Scottish football in my opinion. The experts here yesterday said it may well be off, given the weather and forecast you shouldn’t have fans and teams fucking around on a day like this.

We are all zoom here in order to be compliant with the industry I work in, phone, video conference, and now even text.

So, what’s the scoop, any good? Sounds like he’s a goal scoring attacking central mid, something Scotland could do with? Would be nice for Scotland to have another wide player like doak, certainly need a 9, but sounds like miller isn’t far away from the squad?

Plus, if you lead with jimmy thelin being a major influence in your life it will be plain sailing from there.

Happy to help if I can, certainly not with the content of the interview, but on the tech side. I had over a dozen job interviews on zoom 2-3 years ago (had never done that before) and it was the tech that stressed me out more than the interview itself. Practice helps, especially with sound and camera on/off, so you are comfortable/confident.

Practice the technology so that you are able to attend a zoom meeting. I had to find a new job at 50 and it was the tech that was scary, not the content. Definitely look well dressed and presentable. You can also have a background filter so they cannot see your actual background. happy to have a zoom meeting with you to help you practice if that helps!

So doak was our best player against Croatia and there’s questions whether he starts tonight?? Explain!!! we need to win, preferably by two, we should be playing our best 11 for this game. Unless he’s injured why wouldn’t he start? Youthful energy and enthusiasm is a good thing, no?

I suppose it’s appropriate to acknowledge that 3 of the 4 teams are playing for something so not just us. I could totally see Croatia drawing or beating Portugal. Portugal may even experiment with players. as for us, we always fail in games like this, plus Poland are playing for something. The norm would be that we are 2 down at half time again and get a 2-2, piling forward for the win and we’re plucky losers yet again. would love to see a good win, win by 2 and Portugal win, but I just dont see it. We don’t have fresh players to bring in and two hard games on 3 days is a tough ask. I do t care that they have a few players out, despite what I said above I’m predicting 1-1.

I assume to be appropriate it will be ‘Do they/them know it’s the holidays?’

Renewed my vpn, got it!

Can you post the link, don’t know if it’s a US thing but I can’t find it!

Any link yet?? Is it YouTube or me??

Crazy not to start devlin. Home game and he’s fit and on form. Nations league too, glorified friendly, when did ralston last play a full game or even decent minutes. Besides for Scotland?? ingrigued by Conway too, woukd be nice to have a decent striker. Dykes has done a decent job but not a natural scorer. A little surprised at mcginn but he’s been shit for Scotland of late and this line up has better natural shape.

Showing my age here. Can someone post a link to the game, can’t seem to find it!

Not just vision, it’s not an easy pass, especially from a standing position with very limited back swing. I’d say a better pass than the McGrath-sokler at parkhead and that certainly got praise. I will add it’s the first game nisbet has impressed me. Lively sharp and hard working, plus got some decent attempts on goal. Sokler doesn’t really create that much for himself, nisbet looked fit and hungry!

Score definitely flattered us and the penalty save was huge. Agree most of the subs had a positive impact. Still think morris is best off the bench, but I’d really like to see Vinny start on the left if McGrath is out for a few games. I also think duk can have the impact morris does in the second half if fresh, just don’t think he does enough as a starter. I highlighted nisbet because I thought he looked a step quicker and sharper, and a goal and an assist was a great return from him. I see nisbet regaining his starting position next game.

Meh performance but good enough, and a good bounce back win. strange to say that for a 4-1 game. Not unlike the hearts game and one or two others where our opponents didn’t take chances. Our press has been a little off and I dont think we’ve been as sharp, but the first 15 mins of the second half won the game. While we have missed sivert, palaversa played well. I will add, thought nisbet looked lively and sharp for a first time this season. Maybe we picked it up second half or Dundee got worse, stroll in the end. Job done.

Should have subbed topi before his goal. Meh haha! 2-0 , what a change in fortune.

Prefer topi but duk is doing more. Goal aside, nisbet and morris please.
