Scottish Fitba'

[HomerJSimpson]

Will need a massive performance from Scotland to get anything from the Hungary game. If they deserved to qualify on the bases of the fan support they would be home and hosed. Has to be one of those do or die performances and rather go down battling than a damp whimper

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Billy Gilmour making all the difference, I do not understand why he did not start in the German game.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Mitov signed for Aberdeen. I'd have taken him as Hart's replacement at Celtic.

Big loss for Saints.

Not a big loss…a friggin DISASTER…

But no great surprise he has moved on - though thought better than Aberdeen would have been possible.

Whatever / thank you Dimitar - you were brilliant and almost certainly saved us from relegation and a quite possible death spiral.

 

[GreiginFife]

Adams starts yet again despite doing bugger all. I’m now convinced that it’s sexual favours and not nuddy pictures.
Beyond belief.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Don’t score many goals from the half way line no matter how much possession you have … at least we currently don’t have to score 2

 

[GreiginFife]

How is that not a penalty. Wiped out in the box and the ref ignores it.

Absolute nonsense.

Agreed
Seemed very odd.
Replay looked worse than real time.

 

[KenL]

I'm not convinced. Shouted for it at first but not clear.

Clear as day. Takes his leg from the back and then and grabs him round the waist for good measure.

I know you don’t like Scotland but jebus thats obstinate.

Who said I don't like Scotland?
Officials and VAR didn't think it was a clear penalty either.

And they never make mistakes

 

[KenL]

And they never make mistakes

Of course they do. to you too.

 

[GreiginFife]

As is, was and always shall be.

 

[KenL]

Heart breaking stuff as usual.
Hungary by far the better team in an attacking sense.
Hope the boy injured is doing OK.

 

[ger147]

Hope the Hungarian lad is OK, looked really bad.

That ending would be a sore one if that was the first time it had happened, but as it always happens you can see it coming.

C'est la vie...

Absolute stonewall penalty. Ridiculous decision.

 

[KenL]

Absolute stonewall penalty. Ridiculous decision.

On the slow motion is does look a clear cut penalty.
I wonder if the Scotland player was off-side?

 

[3offTheTee]

Really sad result for your boys. Thought there was no urgency until the last 10/15 minutes. Why Shankland (spelling) was not brought on earlier. Hope the injured player is OK.

At least you would have won a prize for the best supporters.

I just can't understand why Adams is picked before Shankland.
He's only scored 1 goal in 13 games.
Shankland has 1 goal in 3 partial games, and the top goal scorer in the SPL, and imho is a far better all round player.
Grant Hanley is slower than me.
IMHO Steve Clarke sticks to the same old group of players out of loyalty instead of ability.

It’s this plus something more insidious for me. Shankland has shifted the dynamic every time he’s come on. But, like not seeing that a back 3 against Germany was idiotic and then continuing with it, Clarke’s blinkered arrogance is astounding.
