Chalked Bennett, chalked. Glad it wasn't, mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get well soon, mate. It's like any overhead or bicycle kick, they are all technically dangerous so should all be penalised, -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 If you can watch that game and think Billy Gilmour isn’t incredibly special, then football isn’t for you. If you can watch that game and offer criticism after it, again football isn’t for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First point, agreed 2nd point, meh. 2nd half was great we played brilliant and deserved to win it. 1st half their was lots to criticise. Hopefully clarke can learn from it and improve, cos let's be honest we were 2 mins away from their being a tidal wave of criticism. We can't keep starting games being so negative with this. Play football when we have to idea. We have good players, let's play football all the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 I’ve been all over Europe following Aberdeen & Scotland for many years but that is the best atmosphere I’ve experienced in any stadium, ever Even better than the France games in ‘06 & ‘07 Outrageous scenes for the winner 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I think this team set up in this way are an attacking force and very hard for teams to play against which is unusual for a scotland team. We still need a natural goalscorer/poacher because Adams and dykes do similar jobs. We really missed Hanley yesterday because all 3 centre backs were bombing forward and we got caught out a good few times. Gilmour is a class act and second half he was running the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not saying 1st half was all bad, but was their things to criticise? Of course there were. All good at the end of the game, I just think we can be even better. And I'd like to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in response to Austria labelling us a long ball team. Clark wasn’t happy with the first half tonight, he definitely didn’t want us to play like that. Ultimately Israel scored from two soft set pieces, and bar that had one chance. I completely agree we can be better, let’s hope we see it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denmark at home) for a total of 23 points and hope that Denmark do no better than one draw from their other 2 games for a max of 22. Unlikely. I think someone pointed out that the play-off places are seeded. In that case, it would be handy (assuming that we beat The Faroes and Moldova....I know, I know....) to take something from Denmark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was way before the Austria game, I cant find it so I cant remember the context. Always found it a bit concerning tho. I would imagine clarke is analysing the first half and hopefully making those changes going forward. So its ok for us to do this also, as well as enjoy the positive side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Pretty sure the games v Moldova won’t count for seeding in the playoffs (though will obviously count for ensuring we actually get second place). Might take a look through the remaining groups today and see where we stand - from the ten groups, the top six teams are seeded and the bottom four + 2 Nations League qualifiers are not seeded. My recollection is that we’re right on the edge of seeding, so a good showing (and a good few goals) against the Faroes might matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The win was well deserved last night, but I'm sure that Clarke realises that a 90 minute performance like that isn't going to be good enough going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there were mistakes, but they are all human beings, and if we produced a faultless display then that would take a bit of the excitement out of the game. I'll take multiple errors every game if it results in that spectacle! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel have good players going forward, and in open play created one singular chance. I’m not sure how we struggled with their attacking movement. Craig Gordon had no saves of note, in fact he only had one save. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Just about caught my breath after that. That atmosphere at the end was incredible. Hampden does have its problems but when it's full and moments like that happen it is special. First half was rotten from our perspective but to turn it round like that shows the fight and character in that squad. Gilmour and his willingness to get on the ball is something I've not seen in my lifetime watching us. What a night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
