KillieMogwai Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 SOD was clearly man of the match. We lost 4 goals without him, he comes on and makes us a force. Glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked McLeish 1st tie a round until he became a traitor. Then to top it all they think it is a good idea to play Belgium and Portugal in friendlies. Why not. Why not let our boys get spanked by several goals. We slump down the rankings and the morale takes a nosedive. Seriously you could not make this up. By the law of averages they would get something right. Hampden or Murrayfield ? Really at this rate Starks Park will be sufficient to cope with suspected crowds.

resk Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Graeme Shinnie, Aberdeen captain. comes on and steadies the Scotland ship. That's the story of this game. Aye, a creditable 0-0 draw for Shinza against the world cup semi finalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's all he's done you'll say? Given the level of service, aye. Lol. 2 great free-kicks, aye. But that's yer evidence that he's international class ? A failure in the English lower leagues, he's now a bit-part player in an average Celtic side and hasn't been trusted by his manager in any kind of big game for a couple of years now. He's a wee boy lost in international football and offers us absolutely nothing up front. I'd rather have a 48 year auld Kenny Miller back in the team than Griffiths. And yet there are people in Scotland that think he should be a shoe-in for a Scotland shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMc99 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 dreadful but hopefully we can get a positive result on monday, if we don't i'll probably pretend the national team doesn't exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM82 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I thought there were some positives from that. Souttar had a good debut. I thought the system worked okay, until it was let down by horrendous individual errors. The biggest negative for me was Mulgrew. His error was ridiculously casual. Worse, he was playing far too deep as he was frightened of their pace in behind. His refusal to push up meant the other players couldn't get close to their opponents. He has to be dropped / replaced. Question is by whom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Our main striker hardly plays football and isn't trusted by his club manager in any kind of important game. Griffiths wouldn't get near an international cap for any country in Europe outside San Marino or Andorra. And yet in Scotland he's somehow revered as a f*cking footballing genius. We need to get an honest grip on the standard of our players and what's expected of them. The brilliant free kicks are probably good enough for 25 caps that’s the way it works with the selection policy.People talk about our defensive problems but for me forwards are our biggest problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the umpteenth time, they have to play teams from Leagues A or B in these dates because ALL THE OTHER TEAMS IN LEAGUES C AND D ARE PLAYING NATIONS LEAGUE GAMES.

accies1874 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'd still play most of that starting XI for the Albania game, to be honest. McGregor in, Forrest/O'Donnell for one of the midfielders to get Fraser further up the park, and probably drop McDonald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It wasn't that long ago that we were disappointed to draw with Belgium at Hampden. We have regressed massively since then and Belgium have turned into one of the worlds top sides. We just aren't bringing through any good players really and I don't know how it will ever change? We have been a minnow side since 2000 and a few fluke results against France doesn't mean change anything. Time to seriously invest in facilities and development or watch us keep falling down the rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
