AJF Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 17 minutes ago, ATLIS said: I will not accept any Lyndon Dykes slander at all. He's the best striker we've got, and he's got the ability to play in a few roles up top. Absolutely integral to everything we do. Shite at penalties but he even got taken off of Livi's penalty taking duties for missing some Speaks volumes that he's scored more Scotland goals in less appearances than Griffiths. I’m often critical of Dykes and I don’t think he covered himself in glory at all with his ridiculous decision making for the penalty, but I agree that he makes us tick and probably doesn’t get enough recognition for the work he does. He has just scored a massive goal to haul us back into the match and was generally a pest that entire second half. I’m not sure the partnership with Adams is quite there yet, and personally I’d rather see Christie or Fraser playing off him, but the big guy done well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Gilmour is such a special talent. He could find space in a phone box and some of his passing to clip the ball to folk is delicious. Watching the way he plays makes you wonder how he's playing for us. When you see the wankfest the media down south put on over Rice & Phillips who aren't close to the level of talent for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) We were poor in the first half but didn’t deserve to go in behind. We were brilliant in the second half and deserved to win the game by more. The lads that contributed to the poor first half all stepped up to a different class in the second. Robbo, Tierney, Patterson, McGinn all outstanding (not saying they were all poor first half). I’m a fan of Adams but the game pretty much passed him by. Not sure his partnership with Dykes is firing. Can’t drop the big, beautiful Aussie b*****d though. Adams does good work but I want more goals from him. Would like to see McSauce, Gilmour and Meatball in the midfield 3 when Hanley is back. Special mention to the Israelis gamesmanship. GIRFUY. ETA. How the f**k did I not mention Gilmour as being outstanding?

AUcal Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 It's been a long long time since I've seen Hampden like that. The scenes at the full time were incredible. What a night, train up the road bouncing as well. Magic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeptastic Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Thought Billy Gilmour was the standout performer. Lyndon Dykes good as well in the second half - https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/lyndon-dykes-focus-scotland-target-21814358 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the potential to be though. Does he ? He was very good in the second half where he effectively played in midfield. I'm not being harsh here, but I still have seen nothing from him to suggest that he can defend at a very high level. It shouldn't be Scotland's job to develop 'potential'. That should be done at club level. A decent team would have ripped Pattertson apart, sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rowsdower Posted October 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2021 Still chuckling at the fact that they had a player feign a head knock to get our goal disallowed, and took forever getting pretend treatment, for us to get the goal anyway then score again in the time he gifted us. 47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 What a result. The scenes at the end with a full Hampden bouncing along to Yes Sir I can boogie was absolutely incredible. So good to see after the past 18 months. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Also, there has to be one person in that crowd who is nailing "yes sir, I can boogie" with perfect pitch, and the poor bugger is never going to get the recognition they deserve. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ship him out to Aberdeen on loan then where he’ll fit in based on your criteria. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing.McCrosby Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 41 minutes ago, gannonball said: He went with as an attacking team today as I can remember him ever playing. We had a very early set back and came from behind twice to win. Clearly Clarke said something right at half time also. Stop being a vindictive weirdo please. In the first half we looked like the away team, if you think that was an attacking team fair enough. The team may have looked attacking on paper, in reality it was very defensive. He made changes at half time at we saved the game in the end. If you read before I actually predicted us to win. And was correct. So im happy, and happy for him. If you look at the post from the first half there are many many posts slating Clarke and the team. Mine are very mild by comparison. Perhaps its time to let your wee grudge with me go. And concentrate on the national team you claim to support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half failures....Patterson, McTominay, Dykes et al....really stepped up the plate. Brilliant, well done. The defence remains a worry though, no getting away from that. Hanley must come back in for the Faroes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Ken what was class, and the ball had gone but the camera just caught it... Jack Hendry (im sure it was) bodying somecunt in the middle of the park and standing over them giving it some. The second half needed that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fratelli Posted October 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2021 Wee mention for Liam Cooper who came on after the goal, barked orders, moved folk into shape and then went absolutely tonto at the final whistle despite only getting a couple of minutes. He was the same after the game in Serbia despite not getting off the bench. Easy for professionals to be a bit miffed when they don't play - you could see a couple of players on the bench looking a bit static after the goal, but i get the impression he absolutely loves being a part of it and is quite an important member of the group. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
