Watching Scotland is as frustrating as watching Dundee.

Maybe I should just give up

Time's running out. C'mon boys! 

This is fucking horrific.

Clyde fans will know what I mean when I say Iwelumo reminds me of Evangelino Valentim.

Oh god carew almost won it for Norway.

C'mon Scotland,gies a goal!The fat lady is tuning her vocal chords.

This is dreadful.

How can Smith justify keeping Burley?

Kris Boyd wouldn't have missed that.

Terrible Scotland, terrible.  

Absolute garbage.

and george burley will know it, i cant see iwulemo ever playing for scotland again after that, a complete confidence blow !!

FFS! Get Burley to f**k!!

Utterly shocking.

Burley has to go.

if Burley does not go, i'll never watch or go to a scotland game again

Burley has a lot to answer for. Unless McFadden had an injury, why take him off. Two upfront was the right decision but it should have been Boyd on.

Get him out now.

And replaced by who? What a retarded thing to say.

At the reaction on here.

We still have a good chance of qualifying, I didn't think we were too bad today, could have won, didn't etc.

Fucking lucky not to lose. Horrible performance.

No point getting rid of Burley, not after a draw at home. He has to start Boyd at home, and McFadden should have been left on, Steven Fletcher was gash.

Thought for me Broadfoot, Brown, and Maloney all stood out though.

Exactly, Scotland were alright.

Come back ClydeNewcomer... all is forgiven.

Should Burley Go? No
Should Illuwemo have been in the squad? Yes

Should burley have taken MCFADDEN off when he did? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I think that miss is a punishment for such a terrible decision.

Of course if mcfadden was injured then fair enough. But it certainly didn't seem that way, and mcfadden looked less than impressed as he marched off.

By using the word "retarded" you lost all right to have your opinion taken seriously.

Now f**k off.

Gutted.

I don't know why you post suggestion in these threads, you have made it clear you hate Scotland and want them to lose.

They can afford to drop 7 points, and have dropped 5, and still have to play Holland twice, and Norway away you goon

Not a chance they will qualify.

Another World Cup dream down the toilet,down the pipe.We are fcuked as far as i am concerned.

What the hell are you on about, you absolute imbecile?

Really, some of the reaction on here is laughable. If Iwelumo had scored, Scotland would have won, and it would have been a fair reflection on the game.

well me of course

Fuck off.

By using the word "retarded" you lost all right to have your opinion taken seriously.

Amen

Well, at least Kazahkstan will pump the English...

Give it a rest you boring weirdo alias. Your ridiculously misguided optimism shows what a twat you are.

If we had taken our chances and Norway theirs it would have been embarrassing

Dire performance today from Scotland, thought Caldwell looked a donkey throughout the game, Naismith is not even League Two class never mind international, Fletcher was dire and the big lad from Wolves has probably made himself the laughing stock of football for many seasons.
The fact is Scotland (on the last three World Cup performances, are not good enough to play in the elite stages of football, perhaps they never will be again)
For what it is worth, as an Irishman, I though Norway were woeful and offered nowt.

Norway are fucking rubbish (and I say that as someone who has a bit of a soft spot for them).

Still think we'll finish second but the margin for error is small now.

Kirk Broadfoot wouldn't have missed that.

Naysmith had one of his best games. I thought he was excellent.

Precisely. We did ok and all these posts would have been completely different if Iwelumo hadn't completely fucked his chance. We could have won the game and I think we should have had a penalty but overall a draw was probably a fair result because they had their chances as well. In the end we came up against a good team and didn't quite have enough to beat them. I think Burley got his tactics and team selection wrong but that's easy to say in hindsight. He also realised he had it wrong and changed it fairly early on. After he changed it we were far more threatening as well. 

I'm waiting for George to say: "It's the second best result of my career <hic> whit a game!"

Well yeah... We would have won.

We played for about 20 mins and managed to make 1 goldern chance and another great ball along the line.

They made chance after chance and after we had had a good spell they still managed to make 2 great late chances.

Boyd scores goals and we needed a goal.

Charlie Nicholas talking some sense.

Long and short of it ....... Boyd on and it would have been 1-0 Scotland. You wanked it with that Wolves lad George

I know.It's a sad day when that negative pr##k is right.

Didn't see the game so can't comment on the performance, although going by the picture of Iwelumo on previous page of this thread, it appears I avoided seeing the greatest missed-sitter this century...

Anyway, we now have 4 points from matches we earmarked for 7-9 points. Which is, well, disastrous bearing in mind that second doesn't even guarantee us a play-off place. Even if we were to win home to Iceland and Macedonia, and win away to Norway (which seems unlikely since we can't even score a goal against them at home...), we'd have 11 points. It's hugely unlikely we'd finish 2nd and get into the play-offs with less than 15 points - so we now have to win every game, bar a draw in Rotterdam.

We appear to have only one friendly between now and the Netherlands away, and as that is home to Argentina, I can't see us having much chance to try out new strategies, or get a confidence booster.
