HSS Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 55 minutes ago, faraway saint said: Spoke to a very experienced goalie this morning, some would say an expert, and while he can see why people "blame" Craig Gordon for the first goal he explained that people forget the delivery/pace of a cross, they only see the player connecting with the ball and that the goalie hasn't come to collect it. In this case the pace on the ball made it a ball for the attacking team, and also the goalie had no time to react to the header. He pointed out the foul in the first places was needless from an experienced Scottish midfielder. As for the 2nd goal, he just laughed at any suggestion Gordon was to blame. We did discuss the 2nd England goal against Scotland back in June. Again, in his experienced opinion, the cross was delivered with pace and at such an angle it was unlikely Gordon could have gotten to it. The "blame" that day, if people like to play the blame game, was firmly at the Scotland midfielder who fcuked up in needlessly giving the ball away, usually forgotten.7 Some goals are what they are, well taken goals. Sounds like your expert () should have been playing instead of Dracula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell Willsie he's talking oot his erse regarding England's second goal 100% Gordon's fault Before the cross came in he was in perfect position and with a couple of steps forward he would have gather the ball easily as the cross was heading straight to him But instead he retreats to his line giving Kane time and space for an unchallenged finish Gordon good shotstopper but not the bravest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as I said, no debate the error by an outfield player put us in that position, and as you know, more often these forgotten than any error by a goalie.

No actually a lot of people are blaming Armstrong and it's certainly not forgotten On the Slovenia first goal it wasn't a free kick in the first place The second from a corner shocking defending,how could any player standing in the middle of goal have no one near him by yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the 2nd goal was a strange one as the scorer has almost 2 yards space, the defence seemed to freeze but nobody could, seriously, blame Gordon for that one?

linwood buddie Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks wee man gave us all a wee bit of hope there , and then feckin snatched right back off us . No seriously done an ok job but was loyal to too many players that should never have been near our international team. Hope the new man looks at the younger players on the fringes of the squad Gordan had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 To be new Manager Jack Ross could do it part time and still be our Boss. Sam Allardyce or Michael O'Neill Nobody else will do, especially not Paul Fecking Lambert. Or Derek McInnes who is a shite Manager and would send the Country to sleep with his Press Conferences. Boring Bassa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on. TC can identify a bad football manager with his eyes closed.Remember he was never fooled by Jack Ross. What scotland needs is experience, maybe in the Gus McPherson mould. He already knows how to play at Hampden....never had a problem there......ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
