Scotland V Albania And Israel

[V for Vendetta]

Not sure about Phillips on for Armstrong really.

[The Boofon]

Fuck me what a save.

[Poodler]

The support here for Celtic players is a bloody disgrace

[Dr_Manhattan]

Squeaky bum time

[The Boofon]

LOL.

[V for Vendetta]

Bates not too bad either.

 

I mean, we're no world beaters but fucking miles better than what we were trying to do a few months ago.

[RAZOR]

Two good wins there. Despite being a an alchy and having stage 8 dementia, McLeish has done well.

[Dr_Manhattan]

Say what you like about the quality of opposition, but it sure beats a meaningless friendly.

 

I'd say this format has been a success so far. Just a shame England didn't get relegated, would have loved to get them. Odds-on we'll end up in a group with Germany.

[TopDon]

Shinnie saving Scotland's bacon, coming off the bench...

[DelMonte]

McLeish done a good job so far. Stumbled across the formation change but it's a lesson learned. We have some proper good players coming through.

[RUL]

Mcleish earned a lot of credit there, was pleased for the man. Mckenna and shinnie were great. Hope forrest is peaking too soon....

[Guest findlay_1903]

The sky commentator is rank.

[Tord31]

Who are the playoff opponents?

[Old manny]

McLeish done a good job so far. Stumbled across the formation change but it's a lesson learned. We have some proper good players coming through.

Amen to that. There will be some who pulled out of the squad, not all, but y'all know who I am talking about, who might find it hard to get back into the side and that is how it should be.

[RUL]

Who are the playoff opponents?

Serbia

Finland

Norway

[Dr_Manhattan]

On a separate note, I'd leave Hayley McQueen's face looking like a painter's radio.

[mcdougall(4)]

Lot of good work has been done on youth development and it's bearing fruit.

 

The average age of that side is young.

Can only bode well for the future.

[RUL]

Definitely. Can't believe Armstrong can't get in that brutal Southampton team.

[Woolenrouge]

This is pasted from the BBC:

 

If Scotland do not finish in the top two of their qualifying group, there is now a safety net.

Scotland have now secured a one-legged Nations League play-off semi-final against Finland at Hampden in March 2020, with the winners potentially facing either Norway or Serbia in the final.

A ballot or toss of a coin before the League C semis are played will decide who's at home for the final.

[RUL]

Patterson was fucking honking and Christie was wasteful as fuck first half

Christie?? Thought he had a good game.

[shut up meg]

I agree about Paterson and Christie however Christie does have the confidence to try things and did set up the 2nd goal.

[Sheepo]

Good win, Forrest was good as was Fraser, Armstrong and Fletcher, McKenna was solid and Shinnie very good for his cameo. Paterson was honking as was Bates, Thought Robertson was pretty poor also. The guy Phillips was honking when he came on and shouldn't be back in the squad IMO

[aberdeen1970]

That's the best I've ever seen Fletcher play for Scotland. Maybe he's finally screwed the nut.

 

The two wee lads were excellent again wide.

 

We need a right back but fair play to Paterson for getting on with job and not pulling out with 'fatigue' just because he doesn't fancy playing right back.

 

Young team, hopefully they can stick together and kick on

[RUL]

Odd interview with mcleish including querying with a mysterious 3rd person how many games we had won.

[Tyzo_1903]

Outstanding again from McKenna. Been a bit resigned that we'll likely lose him in Jan/summer but performances like tonight only up his value even more.

[aberdeen1970]

Aye Bates was better than I thought he would be. Playing in Germany must be a good education for him at a young age.

[Dr_Manhattan]

No, he said we have won 3 out of 4 "competition games", which he queried

 

Then asked the interviewer if he had told him yet about Annie, his new grand daughter!

 

Pedant alert, but his new granddaughter is Rosie. Annie is Jamie's missus.

[dave_min]

An enjoyable Scotland game. Who knew they were still a thing?

 

Knew Big Eck would lead us to glory.

[Dr_Manhattan]

Either way, bit odd!

 

Aye, I'm inclined to think there may be a hint of truth to the rumours. Hasn't seemed himself for a while. Shame if true.

[RUL]

Aye, I'm inclined to think there may be a hint of truth to the rumours. Hasn't seemed himself for a while. Shame if true.

I dunno if it's because we are looking for something but it was odd be asked about results to someone else...something isn't right. His formation comments were weird
