You're raging that Mulgrew, who is on the pitch, is taking free kicks ahead of Griffiths, who is sitting on his couch? FWIW Mulgrew has scored far, far more free kicks than Griffiths in his career. I think Griffiths' career tally sits at about 4. Mulgrew is shite, he should be nowhere near that team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I know that Russia wouldn’t only have scored two goals if Scott Bain had been in goal. Small mercies. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 33yr old free kick taker should have scored more in his 500 odd games but You said you had stats get them out conversion rates as well ya moon howler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Bizarre analysis on Sky which seems to suggest that Russia only got on top in the second half. They battered us for two thirds of the first one too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at Group C, Northern Ireland top of their Group, with a mediocre gang of players, 3 points ahead of Germany and 6 points ahead of The Netherlands. They have a manager who is able to get the best out of these mediocre players though. North Ireland haven’t played Germany or The Netherlands yet. Let’s see how good they are after those 4 games. Even still, they have a brilliant manager I’ll agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Maybe they're not so mediocre?Or it could be because they've played Belarus and Estonia home and away while Germany and Netherlands have games in hand? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans, Davis aside. Point still stands though, their manager has found a formula & gameplan which works with largely average players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Griffiths doesn’t feel ready. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not that it's relevant, as you claimed Mulgrew shouldn't be taking the free kicks tonight whilst in the knowledge Griffiths wasnt on the park. So who do you think shouldve been taking the free kicks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 24 minutes ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: I know some will come back with the "but who else is there?" response - but we've been obsessed with playing players from lower end EPL and Championship teams for years. We need to play players who are in firm and fit our system - not just because of the league they are in. Still shudder to think that £20 million was paid for McBurnie - the world has clearly gone mad. But then this is the league that thinks Marcus Rashford is worth £100m +. Having the Leeds captain (top end Championship) seems a good option on paper. Why call up the likes of him and Palmer and then panic and drop them when things don’t go swimmingly. In terms of centre backs it’s a position we are weak at. We need to find a pair who can work together. All things considered I wouldn’t mind top end Championship players over SOD at Killie and McKenna at Aberdeen. I’m not against Scottish Premiership players either really, but English Championship seems a decent level too. Need to persevere with players picked and try and form a team and squad in time for the play-offs and then the WC qualifiers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 In my time of watching lower league Scottish football, I have watched more useless lumps than I can count trying to play like a Sutton brother. If they have a bit of talent for their level they can be like Chris and bring the ball down on their chest, back into the centre back, draw a foul. If they don’t, they can always be John, just be an absolute big b*****d battering people with their elbows and somehow getting away with it. I have seen many centre forwards who’ve tried to do these things to varying degrees of effectiveness, from a solid thrid tier lump of shithouse like Michael Moore who could fight his way to double figures every season, to utter wastes of a shirt who should never have been allowed near a professional football team like Kevin Kelbie. Over all those years, in all those horrific teams across many levels, I have never seen a centre forward so obviously devoid of any kind of positive footballing attribute, so clearly miles out of his depth on a pitch, as Oli fucking McBurnie. Get him launched into the fucking sun. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piece of piss. And thank feck I'm working on Monday night. They mentioned on the radio that since the McFadden game in Paris, we have won a grand total of 3 away Euro Qualifying games - in Cyprus this time out, in Liechtenstein and in Gibraltar. Think the guys who bought Hampden Euro 2020 tickets will be selling them on at this rate. In the last 12 years we've only won 9 competitive away games full stop: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Gibraltar, Malta, Lithuania, Albania and San Marino. Basically that 1-0 in Zagreb back in June 2013 has been our only 'decent' away win in over a decade.
