How many times has a highball been put into the box straight into the arms of the Russian 'keeper? I think I'll give our hiding by Belgium a miss.

truesaint Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Poor set up. Back 4 were poor. Someone needs to tell Robertson he is not playing for Liverpool when in Dark Blue and to hold his position. Should have had Christie, McGinn and McGregor in midfield at same time as at least have the intelligence when to slow things down and pick it back up again. Maclean didn't even look like a footballer and was shocking when he came on and forget the pish big guys up front and get griffiths and shankland into the squad.

windae cleaner Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Very very poor as i said half of them weren't interested Midfield hid until Christie came on Marshall,Mulgrew and Fraser showed a bit of effort the rest didn't even gave that Nothing will change until the attitude of our better players change You aren't going to tell me that Eire ,Northern Ireland and Wales have far better quality players apart from Bale Yet they get results with grit and determination Our players were easily bullied tonight Quality of player isn't our biggest problem at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International football is a tad more difficult than Alloa away. Griffiths aye. Best available. Edited September 6, 2019 by munoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian Saint Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I thought Mulgrew was Scotland’s best player then Fraser. Can’t think of many that got pass marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balmullo Bud Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Really disappointing performance tonight. Sat far too deep with a pish defence after our goal and could’ve easily been a bigger defeat. Only positive was McGinn getting his goal. All about the Finland game now.

truesaint Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Shankland - why not? Would prefer to have a goal scoring striker or 2 on the pitch. Scotland are still not playing to their strengths. Thought Stevie C would see it a bit different but guess not. If we had a capable defence then yes Shankland. Midfield can be decent if he uses the right players. McTominay is fecking useless and cant see why Man U play him and never have. Put footballers on the pitch and play the fecking game. No point sticking one useless big idiot up front against 4 big decent russian/belgian defenders. Finger oot the arse and give it a go. You should know better Victor.

Prague Buddie Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Where that f#@k do I start? If I never see O Donnell and McBurnie in a Scotland shirt again, that would be just fine. Both of them are well out their depth. 20m for McBurnie??? The world has gone mad. Griffiths is 10x the player. Fraser played decent, but gave the ball away for their second and just gave up. Robertson had a howler. McGregor punted high balls into the keepers arms 3 times. Forrest was MIA. McGinn was full of effort, but didn't do much..... Goal aside. Pass marks for Marshall, Mulgrew, McTominay and Fraser(apart from the 2nd goal) Edited September 6, 2019 by Prague Buddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfway they are 2nd place with 12 points behind the Italians (as expected), but 5 points ahead of third placed Bosnia-Herzegovina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have players playing in better sides than we have for a few years but they don't seem to bring that form to the games with Scotland. We also don't get any real luck, re the goal that Wales got last night, although, as you know, if you're not playing well in any sport you rarely get luck, apart from bad luck. Anyway, by the time Monday night comes round I'll have that small glimmer of hope that really never dies, all the more painful 90 minutes later.

St.Ricky Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Mr Shull. You are having fun. I guess you must be taking an enforced break from the main forum.

faraway saint Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Scotland 8/1, Belgium 2/5 with the draw 4/1. God knows what I'll bet on, I'll leave it till just before the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
