sheepheid Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Mr Nisbet can take a seat on the bench. Step forward scrappy-doo ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Christie for me, faroes will be stodgy and he's got guile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaarDon Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Same argument. Christie has been poor for us too. Nisbet has been scoring goals all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaarDon Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Haha sorry last season's stats I meant. He's still more capable than Christie (whom I like). He'll come through for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like McTom in midfield for McGregor, he was good pushing forward against Israel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgindon Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Yip,grim watching so far,fortunate to go in level. Would like to see more of the old Fraser,running at their defence,bit more quick imaginative movement from the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This set up does not work when opposition sit in. Need to get a 2nd striker on and move the ball quicker when going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Aye, that was atrocious. What fucking game was Clarke watching, and how often is he going to make the mistake of not making changes? Every fucking time. A complete fluke that we got away with it. Christie, Fraser, McTominay all gash and Dykes not much better until he scored. Dreadful performance. That striker role is going to be the doing of us, we're just not good enough in there and with Dykes out for Moldova because of that fucking awful ref, we're going to struggle. Special mention for the abomination that is var again tonight. Time to accept you got it wrong uefa, it's fucking awful. Ruins the game.

HaarDon Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Nisbet on for the last 10 mins? Seriously? We need to find a striker!! This was the ideal game to play Nisbet. Nobody expected us to win by a few goals but that sounded close. I was sure the ref was going to disallow that goal. Much needed 3 points but we have no chance of qualifying.

sancho_panza Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I thought the way Dykes pulled his hand away was pretty telling but fortunately they had blurry mobile phone quality video footage that made it impossible to overturn. I agree VAR ruins the game though. Every time someone scores a goal now a little part of your brain is telling you to hold on a minute because there might be some borderline foul somewhere. It's completely undermined the biggest appeal of football which is the raw immediate reaction to a goal being scored. Prioritising technical accuracy over entertainment is just daft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref awarded the goal last night, var decided to dick about for five minutes checking 800 replays for a "clear and obvious" error. After spending three minutes looking at an offside call also given. Unless you mean the Austria game? That was a classic example of var not really working. Adams penalty was such a 50-50 call, you just didn't need a twat in a room overturning that decision. Similarly against Israel, if the ref is too shite to think Dykes' challenge was a foul then he shouldn't be reffing (I actually think that he gave the foul safe in the knowledge he could use var to check). Either way, slim has it correct. Although I'd say that you can never have subjective technical accuracy. It simply doesn't exist, and - ironically - if people had taken two minutes to think about it before implementing, that would have been clear and obvious.

HaarDon Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Both goals were extremely contentious though and VAR confirmed they stood quite rightly so. I'm all in favour of close calls being scrutinised especially with our luck in the last 6 decades. Both times VAR was used for us they took a max of about 5 minutes. I know I'd rather have a paltry 5 minutes of time out from around 187minutes and make sure of the 6 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Have to disagree Haar. Don’t think either goal was contentious. As Rico says Last nights was rightly given and 2nd on Saturday should never been disallowed in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I got up early to watch this match. Was fucked off with it all and turned the tv over with 5 mins of the game left... I was not expecting that score when I saw it later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
