Long John Baldy Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 We have two of the best full backs we've had for years. The problem is we have no decent guy, or guys, up front. Hard to remember the last time we had a forward you felt was going to score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, painful TBH, wonder if Tierney could develop into a left midfielder? He's certainly got the talent and age on his side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long John Baldy Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 1-0 half time, pretty average TBH. Hardly threatened their goal and the penalty was more relief than deserved. Great penalty from Christie, two goalies wouldn't have saved it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Absolutely dreadful. I’m not one of those people who’s still living in the 1970s and thinks we’ve got a divine right to beat teams like Israel, but by any standards that was an abysmal performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to a certain extent but this isn't a surprise. We have struggled to really show any threat for a while now. Plenty of possession, did their goalie have any real saves to make....................I must have missed it. The stupid lady presenter was crowing that we've not lost for 4 games in a row....................................yipee.

For all the talented midfielders Scotland have, there's very little cutting edge.

It looked fairly obvious his tactics were for us to retain possession and pass the ball. Unfortunate;y we have no cutting edge, as I feared before the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Cheques will come down with the covid and we'll be awarded the points. What do the rules say? Uefa sought to clarify the situation around potential Covid call-offs earlier in the week. However, the guidelines only seem to come into play if a team cannot field at least 13 players, including one goalkeeper. Here is what the rules state… If a national association is not in a position to field a team with the above-mentioned minimum number of players (i.e. 13 including at least one goalkeeper), the match will, if possible, be rescheduled at a date to be fixed by the Uefa administration, which shall also have the power to assign it to a venue which may be in a neutral country (within the territory of a Uefa member association) if deemed appropriate; in any event, the home team will remain responsible for the organisation of the match and all related costs. If the match cannot be rescheduled, the Uefa control, ethics and disciplinary body will take a decision on the matter. The national association that is responsible for the match not taking place or not being played in full will be declared to have forfeited the match unless both or none of the teams is/are responsible, meaning the match cannot be declared as forfeited. If the match cannot be declared as forfeited, the outcome of the match will be decided by drawing of lots (i.e. win 1-0, loss 0-1 or draw 0-0) carried out by the Uefa administration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been the first person off.

Robertson was almost invisible, and the midfield were honking across the board. Not one player looked as if he had the ability or brain to do something different, all very slow and predictable. That's why they looked decent, we played at snails pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
