Enigma

Recommended Posts

I was among 1,084 hardy or idiotic souls who took in this dead loss tonight.Lithuania are a limited and naive side but we were languid. How can you win in Croatia then turn out this result?

First half we'd control of the game and forced a few good saves from their 'keeper... but we were hardly cruising along, and the pace of play was far from full-tempo and frustratingly one-dimensional (had they decided to forego the wings as a test?). Expected a reaction for second half but we went backward - Lithuania had much more of the ball. Hornby was terrible after 1hr. "Blunt weapons" etc.

I know it's easy to caricature Gemmell's demeanour but in the flesh he really did look to all intents lost, impassive and bewildered. At one point the doctor/physio was doing shouts for him.

I was another Hibee. Should have just went straight home from work. Roll on Sunday. Can’t wait.

It's the fact that they have no idea other than lump the ball to Bruce Hornsby, or at least get the wee Chelsea midfielder to lump the ball to Bruce Hornsby.

It's a shame we hadn't witnessed how Gemmill sets up youth sides before to see how he'll help set up youth teams.

That Toulon Tournament under Gemmill was embarrassing, just hoof after hoof to Burke. Sounds like all we've down is translate that to the hoof after hoof to Hornby.

I'm still convinced he'll be the next Scotland manager, because SFA.

Much better second half from the boys. Belarus taking an absolute pasting from Germany puts us in a great position to qualify for the elite round as well barring a major capitulation on Tuesday.


Billy Stark: hold my beer.
