Would have been easier to take if we'd been completely outplayed.

You can't fault the effort here.
We've done everything but score.
By far the better team but we're looking at a defeat anyway.

Tough one to take.
Sigh!

We've done OK.
Haven't done enough up front for me and in central midfield we're getting a bit over-run at times.
Players still looking very nervous which is not surprising.
Still well in this and looking dangerous when we attack - just need a bit more bite at the top end. Could and should have had 1 or 2 goals.

Not sure who you are talking  to but nobody is interested bud.

Classy. 
FFS!!!

Was having this discussion with a friend 
How many England players from todays 11 would you take into the Scotland starting 11?
Going with my favoured starting line up for Scotland
Marshall
Patterson Hanley Cooper Tierney Robertson
Gilmour McTominay
McGinn
Adams Dykes
 
England 11
Pickford
Walker Stones Mings Trippier
K-Phillips Rice
Sterling Mount Foden
Kane
Obviously slightly different formations but;
Robertson > Trippier
Tierney > Mings
McTominay > Rice
Gilmour > Kalvin Phillips
John McGinn > Mason Mount
 
Would take Harry Kane and Phil Foden for sure

Wouldn't be unhappy to see Patterson in as well.
Both of them add some excitement and we saw them cause utter panic in their defence last week.
Both have also played at the top level in either the EPL or Europe so the idea that they lack experience is weak.
We only get one chance. Chuck 'em in and let's see what happens.
I suspect Clarke will go for McGregor and O'Donnell though.

Talking shite.
You don't think before posting.
That's part of your problem.

Instead of making this all about you as ever, you might want to consider I agreed with you and in the interests of levity, introduced a light hearted comment.

Narcissists don't get that tho. Do they? Always all about you!

So relieved he's apparently well. A horrible thing for all to experience or witness.

You were so upset by it that you kept watching?

Who is it you are talking to here?
Literally nobody is interested in this garbage between the pair of you Baz.
Nobody.
That's two entire threads you are both ruining with this shite.

Because Gascoigne's sickening goal was one of the best goals ever seen scored at a major tournament.
Imagine if we had scored like that against England. I guarantee we would never stop going on about it. We were talking about Gemmill's goal when we played Netherlands last week.
The pain of that Gascoigne goal will go with me to my grave. Especially after missing a penalty ourselves.

As much as I appreciate the effort you went to in digging out those stats, they played in midfield together against Krasnodar in the Champions League... Gilmour was excellent in that game despite the rest of the team playing poorly, and was awarded MOTM. Also watched their game against Sheffield United in the cup, again playing CM next to Kovacic, he was awarded MOTM in that game too. 
5 MOTM awards at the top level this season was more than decent considering he didn't play regularly. Far better option than Callum "Pass Backwards" McGregor

I'd play Gilmour from the start. Young, fearless, aggressive and potentially our star of the tournament. 
Kovacic has looked average in comparison when I've seen them play together for Chelsea 

Raring to go for Monday. I will be watching with 12 or so Czech pals/colleagues, who are all well informed by me that we are going to do them. I'll probably have to lay-low for a while if we lose. 
The Czechs have a bit of a ropey defence just now, which they seem to be blaming on the Kudela ban. Strange considering he is a 34yo with 9 caps. 
As far as their top players are concerned, that would be Soucek and Coufal from West Ham Kral from S. Moscow, Schick from Leverkusen, Darida from Hertha Berlin. Not bad level of player, but when you compare them to our top guys (McTominay, Tierney, Robertson, Adams, Gilmour, McGinn) , I d say ours are better players, definitely playing for bigger clubs. 
There is no doubt the Czechs are a tidy team, but I really think we'll win this. 

We'll not be finishing bottom of this group, I'm pretty sure of that.
Don't expect us to lose any of these games.
A win and 2 draws would be my prediction but quite honestly, we have a very good chance of winning all of these games with two of them being at home and fans being allowed in. The England game is a bit more tricky to call but I expect a draw there at least.
There's so much excitement about qualifying but this could be a very special tournament for us. We have quality all over the pitch and in some depth too.
We absolutely must start with Gilmour instead of McGregor IMO.

Did you get the sack? 

As the old saying goes "accuracy is often mistaken for pedantry by the less intelligent".

To be fair, it wasn't bok that first mentioned the term but I didn't want to get into a discussion with Beetlejuice.

I liked the band! [emoji41][emoji12]

Too much information ... 

She's also asking for furlough to be extended.
Normally, I'm quite optimistic about things but I'm getting a horrible feeling that we won't see all restrictions removed until everyone is doubly vaccinated, winter is over, deaths and hospitalisations have gone to zero, cases have gone to zero and we've doubly vaccinated virtually everyone in every non-third world country.
That will be next summer.
August is really the deadline for double vaccinations. Beyond that we're into flu season and there's just no way she'll open up at a time like that.
More than happy to be wrong about this but I do think we're looking at another year of this.
