Have to say, as honking as we were in the first half, we were brilliant in the second. 
Jeezo though, that game was nae good for my high blood pressure.

The poor bit of the 1st half was the Pen. 

Everybody in the pub knew where Dykes was going to put it [Our manger should have known the same and have someone else take it}

He been putting every pen from when he played for Livy to QPR hard down the middle. 

He got lucky against Austria, and he must have known the ex Hibs keeper would have been wise to how he take pens..

At the end of the day, who cares, Dykes did play well, and we got the result we wanted and played well for most of the game .

Faroes are a much better side than the fishermen of years gone by. They still lose majority of games but they are far more competitive than they used to be and are a step up from the San Marinos and Liechtensteins that they are still quite unfairly lumped in with.

Still, we'll have too much for them, 0-2 will do it.

They, The Faroes, have picked up in the last 3 games, narrowly losing to Denmark and Austria while beating Moldova.

Still, we whipped them 4-0 in the home game and, as you say, we should have too much but it's football and history is littered with shocks, much bigger than this would be.

Our 2nd half performance last night was excellent, Clarke certainly done his job at half time, we were all over them from the first whistle.

Last night's result, and performance, was all we could have asked for, and Israel always give us problems.

Tuesday is all about the 3 points, get them and we will have as good as have secured 2nd spot.

Good point, he certainly didn't drop out of the game and continued to put himself about and his goal wasn't as easy as it looked.

Steve Clarke reveals what he said to turn the game round against Israel.

"I told them at half time - if you do want to lose the game, you’re doing it in the perfect fashion," he tells BBC Sportsound. "The talk at half time was really just - we have to play it our way.

"We have to play with more tempo, a little bit more ambition, control the game better and we did that from the start of the second half more or less to the 96th minute.

"We got our reward."

Watching Scotland  for 60 years ,could quite easily  see us drawing  this game .

Watching Scotland  for 60 years ,could quite easily  see us drawing  this game .

Only if we put out the same team that you first saw.

[Rascal]

Historically this game has proved to be difficult. Their form has improved recently. A potential banana skin but I see us getting a win, maybe not a big win but a win none the less.

[antrin]

I watched Charlie Adams in his first match for Scotland… when - at last- Scotland. won up there.  A happy evening followed..

I believe this Scotland squad will be a lot more comfortable.

 

 

 

win - a lot more comfortably,

It has indeed, we've played them 10 times and not lost once. 

Won 8, drawn 2, that's a real difficult set of historic results.

The last 5 games we've scored 17 goals, conceded 1.

Isn't it time your village had a vote for a new idiot?

That, clearly, wasn't the point I was addressing. 

[Rascal]

Amazing. Looking forward to the match but with a little trepidation.

Pharoah's 0-3 Scotland

Start looking out your desert sandals for Qatar 

What can possibly go wrong 

 

[faraway saint]

Oh, the calls about our defence, and Patterson in particular, on Saturday made it very clear that Patterson, as I mentioned back in the Euros, isn't a very good defender at this stage in his career.

The clamour for him to be included at that stage was misguided, to say the least.

It's a pity we couldn't clone O'Donnell and him as, again as I've mentioned, O'Donnell is a decent, not great, defender but is poor when up the park.

Patterson is the opposite, but will get better and, IMIO< in a year or two will be a great player for Scotland. 

Tonight is a game we should certainly play Patterson, I doubt we'll be under much pressure at the back.

We will win 1-0 tonight ,draw with Moldova and have to beat Denmark to get 2nd spot.

[faraway saint]

If we win tonight and draw with Moldova we would only have to draw with Denmark as we've a better "head to head" with both Israel and Austria.
