After we scored the first goal, which was completely undeserved, we rallied for five minutes and looked like a half decent team. But that was the only time. We were completely outclassed for 75 of the 90 minutes by a bunch of mainly journeymen. If we lose to Israel, and they have a better head to head, then Clarke is losing my faith. He had a winning formula and now he's changed it and gone back to the Strachan and McGhee failed system of English lower league dross > Scottish premier league. I want players from the Scottish league, I don't want massively overpaid, overrated, big headed half Scottish guys from the English 2nd division like Grant Hanley. McGinn mishit his overhead kick. Just as well. Quote

HaarDon Posted March 26, 2021 Report Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Tup we were watching a different game then. Austria werent that great. And you saying McGinn's superb overhead kick was a misfit is simply ridiculous. If you have that old negative, tunnel visioned opinion of the national side then fair enough. I thought we played some very decent football against a very decent team and absolutely deserved a draw. Hey ho. Oh and remember, Hanley scored and played better after his yellow. He used to be awful I agree but some credit where it's due. Edited March 26, 2021 by HaarDon Quote
HaarDon Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Can we just dump Israel tonight and move on. Theyll then need to try like fuck to win all their other games which might work in our favour. Must attack them and go hard from the start but Clarke wont do that. Quote
HaarDon Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Steve Clark called himself a head coach in his pre match interview. Quote

And lost twice. I'm not sure where this new found confidence comes from. I'm sure Israel will easily make it 3 from 3 against us tonight. Quote
Jute Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Adams starts along with McGregor and Fraser. Christie, Dykes and Armstrong dropping out. Quote

HaarDon Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Not sure I wouldve dropped Christie however that is a strong team right there. Cmon tup, a wee bit of positivity man Quote
BigAl Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Anyone fancy a bit of live chat during the Scotland game ? Get yourself into thev live chat if you do Quote
BigAl Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Fans in the ground Just like days of old Quote
BigAl Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 McTominay should have scored Pretty open start to the game There will be goals tonight Quote
BigAl Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Some strike One down and not undeserved as we have been giving them far too much time and space on the ball. Question is, could Marshall have done better ? Having seen ita few times now, the answer is definitely Quote

Jute Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Very poor first half Henry and Hanley are murder. Midfield is anonymous. Could end up losing by a few here. As for goal Henry should have gone to lad who played pass but didn’t then Pertez was given all the time in the world to shoot. Even then Marshall should have saved it. Quote
HaarDon Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Aye I'm afraid tup could be right here. Israel well up for this as to be expected and let's face it, they are a very good team. They're easily beating us atm. We have a goal in us but they have way too much possession. Think they'll win 2-1 unfortunately. Quote
HaarDon Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Glad Christie is on. Dont feel he deserved to be dropped. Quote

HaarDon Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Ah well. Not great but after playing israel away and Austria at home. I think I wouldve taken 2 points. Austria or Denmark will drop points this week and we should get 3. Quote
Jute Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Not so sure. Think to qualify we had to win tonight. Quote
