Match Thread (International) Scotland 2 - 2 England

[Dunty]

Similar feelings as the cup final.

 

 

 

Sadly means strachan will stay.

Not for me. Aye it was a bit shit losing the goal, but shrugged my shoulders and got on with it. Nothing like I was after the cup final, took me days to get over it and even today I was thinking back to that game.

 

As for Strachan, he's "improved" if you like recently. For a while he was untouchable and did what he liked with the line-up. Recently he's realised he's a defeat away from the sack and his line-ups have been more credible. We're never all going to agree on the starting XI but I was fairly pleased with today's compared to some of the jokes he's put out in the past.

Tom Thumb having a breakdown for not getting a penalty which would in Scotland have been Pen and Red card for defender.

Who gives a fuck anyway fuck Scotland right in the pussy

You're just too cool for school

[Chewie37]

Unbelievable that with our fairly pish team, a draw with a strong England team feels like a defeat!? Brown did alright, but think he's done for Scotland, the commentator said his two big 'tackles' were naive, no they were just poor challenges that he gets away with normally and it was a surprise he stayed on. Nice Italian ref with a homer decision for us

Na am 32 and to old for school, but cheers anyway gadje

Craig Gordon is a joke.

[dave_min]

Craig Gordon is a joke.

Agreed, almost as poor as Joe Hart.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Just watched the highlights back. Hadn't realised Craig Gordon went for the tried and trusted Tim response to a perfectly good perfectly avoidable late equaliser. Tried to claim it was offside. Wank of a man!

[Poodler]

International football is for virgins

[The Village Seagull]

2-1 and you fucked it up. Thats what the english supporters sang at the end. Then i went to tom green. Now im home. My night in a nutshell.

Dad 0 Seagull 2

[redstrummer]

Shite team. Shite atmosphere. Shite stadium. Shite manager. Shite all chance of Russia now.

 

Bring in Ranieri.

fuck off ya drama queen pirick

[alscotoz]

Thought we would cop a hiding then we had it in the bag and fucked up. Feeling pretty neutral/meh tbh. Draw no good for qualification, so we're out. May as well get rid of Strachan and give the next sucker a run up to the next Euro campaign.

Heard them singing "you're just a shit San Marino" that backfired then ye dumb guff cunts

[ebbe]

Reekie is far older than 32 let me assure you all. Poodles doesn't give a shit about international football because he is a guff. And LOL at folk blaming Craig Gordon for the 2nd goal, fucking chocolates. Champagne Charlie and his cool hair band decides in the 92nd minute to forget about marking, not a clue where Harry Kane is. Unbelievable. No no, Craig Gordon you fucking spastic.

Forgot to say...fucking world class, brilliant strikes by Griffiths

[Reed or deed]

That 2 points will probably the cost of another chance of runners up spot.

 

I predict we will fall agonisingly short by 1 point or something.

 

Shinnie and McLean would have improved that team on Brown and Mcarthur yesterday.

I predict you are well off the mark. Clearout required.

[Andy_123]

The scenes after that second goal by thumb were incredible. I ended up about 5 rows away from my seat by the time things calmed down

 

Craig Gordon was shite

 

Fuck England

[RAZOR]

Very similar goal to the one Paul Quinn scored against Gordon at Pittodrie. Cunt is just glued to his line.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Absolutely take Ebbes point above btw. Mulgrew is just as culpable. But then we need no introduction to Charlie picking and choosing the causes he bothers his arse for. Still a keepers ball all day long!

[Reed or deed]

Armstrong gave the ball away very poorly first of all.

 

Then both Mulgrew and Tierney guilty of ball watching , Kane has a ridiculous amount of space.

 

Gordon also had the choice to come and intercept that ball , he was probably best placed to see the danger and anticipate it.

 

Fuck Celtic, fuck Scotland, fuck England.

[snoyl]

today should be the last time that mutant brown plays for Scotland. He doesn't deserve the honour of captaining his country.

Fuck off mate. The guy is a winner. To have a go at him for this game is nothing but petty.

 

Normally a decent guy but drop the agenda VDA

Get fucked min

 

What agenda?

 

Brown should have been sent off, he has zero composure. That first booking was a stupid tackle to make.

 

He wouldn't be allowed to pick and choose when he plays for Scotland.

[The Oxford Don]

Thought it was hilarious to see Brown get instantly booked for the kind of tackle which he routinely gets away with in Scottish domestic football.

 

That's what happens when you're playing with an impartial ref who doesn't give a fuck who you are, ya fanny.

[manboobs109]

Brown was fucking abysmal yesterday. Should have stayed with Oxlade for the 1st goal, should've had a red, gave away possession.

[Zeus]

Thon clip doing the rounds of the plebs in magaluf scrapping after the game

 

I use the word scrapping loosely

You love to have a go! He wasn't at fault for any the goals & made sure we weren't soft by getting stuck in.

 

He was going through a bad spell with injuries & form, decided to take himself out the equation instead of constantly being picked just because.

 

He's the best CM we have, anyone saying otherwise is just being either deluded or stupid.

 

Select your weapon.

you lost me there mate

[muttonhumper]

First time I've taken an interest in a Scotland game for 5 years (self imposed ban due to SFA blackmail attempt and obliteration of rules to allow Sevco into the league. For any newbies).

It was on in the pub like.

 

Anyhoo. Observations.

 

Scotland started quite well. Brown gets booked for the type of challenge he's allowed to make 10 times in the SPFL before he even gets a warning.

Then nae much seemed to happen though I was mostly chatting so nae really paying attention.

 

2nd half. Robertson, great chance, should have done a lot better.

England goal. Fucking horrendous goalkeeping. Possibly worst I've ever seen.

Shot straight at him. He throws the ball into the net.

Any cunt playing amateur fitba or 5 a sides at goals could have stopped that Woeful.

Griffiths 1st free kick was a thing of beauty. It did make me happy.

His 2nd one, thought it was too central to allow another real opportunity, was marvellous.

I must confess to going a bit mental in celebration.

Then, typically, they throw that advantage away. Only stoppage time to endure.

Armstrong you are a fucking ldlQT You need to stay indoors for a week or two.

What the actual fuck were you thinking? .

That goes for Gordon too. Multiple hare brained efforts from him. Appeared to be on the glue.

 

Summary.

Scotland are obviously still prone to shooting themselves in the foot. Some things never change.

England are a crap football team who seem to get rather more fortunate breaks than your average side does. That looks not to have changed either.

They also seem to rely on a shitload of fuzzy wuzzies to make up their team.

Must be very strange for a fanbase / populous which is generally made up of xenophobic, Rule Brittania, knuckle dragging simpletons.
