Leichtenstein. 0 Scotland 4

Can't tune in, too much bufferiing, currently 0-3 up, what's the goals been like? 

[guinness]

Passed it about quite well though the opposition were very poor. First was a good finish from a poorly defended corner. Second was a decent finish where he went for near post wrong footing the goalkeeper who was expecting a shot in far corner.  Third was a fairly simple  finish at the back post though he did well to get in the right place. Fourth was bundled in at the front post after a good build up. Overall a much better display than Friday though other team were very poor. Having said that we often struggle to score against poor sides. Also let two or three make their  debuts without pressure.

Well, here we go again. 

The highs of the 70's and 80's and, to a certain extent, 90's were enjoyable and painful but that's part of being a Scotland supporter. 

TBH the upcoming World Cup, being spread between Mexico, USA and Canada sounds like a shit show for fans and players alike, time will tell. 

First things first, let's get into Denmark as, if we sit in, they are a decent enough side to score a goal or two. 

As usual, C'mon Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Right lads, just over an hour, let's do them...... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Every time we get the ball we give it away immediately. Got to pass better.

[guinness]

I have never particularly rated the boy Dykes, but he has started well. 

[guinness]

0-0 half time. Scotland have done OK. Not a great game. Funny how all these guys doing really well abroad do not seem to play to the same level for Scotland.  Maybe the standard of player round about them?  Would maybe try Bowie for Adams in the second half. 

[guinness]

Hour gone. Just missed a couple of chances. Game there to be won if we show some  ambition. 

[guinness]

A sensible referee. VAR doing its best to ruin yet another game but referee for once said no. 

[guinness]

Finishes 0-0. Good result. Awful match to watch. 

[faraway saint]

Very poor start, couldn't hold onto the ball for 30 seconds 

Steadied the ship after 15  minutes or so 

The second half was much better, looked dangerous and coped pretty well with their attacks. 

Not a brilliant performance but pretty damn good. 

Remember, the Danes have an excellent home record, they are no mugs. 

Roll on Monday.

Considering you watch plenty of crap on most Friday nights I'm intrigued to understand exactly what you find about tonight's game that was awful? 

We were playing the 21st ranked team in the world at home. 

A team who have lost ONE game at home in 17 games. 

We could have won the game as we created, after a poor start, as many chances as they did. 

What were you expecting? 

[faraway saint]

Before the game there were lots of the same old brainless cooy/paste "opinions" about Clarke and a few players. 

Since the game they, surprisingly, have all disappeared. 🤣🤣🤣

Can't wait till Monday to see them all slither back out from under their rocks. 

Supporters my arse. 

[rabuddies]

Good to see former Saints on the park last night though. As usual, McGinn asked to play in a different position from the last time but still put his arse to good use. Top man.

McGinn got better as the game went on, outshone McTominay IMO. 

[faraway saint]

So, what would the best result be on Monday between Greece and Denmark? 

Assuming we win 🙄 a draw would do me. 

Greece murdered us at Hampden but it shouldn't be forgotten we won in Greece. 

First things first, am early goal on Monday and we'll romp it.

Not forgetting Anders Dreyer in the opposition's starting line up. We started slow but improved as the game went on. Not the best game but we got what we deserved on the night.

It was a very good result for Scotland . With only three efforts on goal in the entire match I think it would be fair to describe it as less th an a classic.  What my enjoyment of the Scott ish Championship has to do with it I am unsure. 

had we won 0-1 it would have been a brilliant result. It would still have been a poor match.

[faraway saint]

Hurry up Shull, change the thread title. 

So, next up Belarus. 

Probably a "must win" for us. 

Belarus 0-3 Scotland.
