GiGi Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If we're at the point of moaning about whether or not we'll be seeded for the playoffs we look favourite to qualify for then I'd say things are pretty rosy. I moan at things during games as well but after the fact you need to take stock of that. This just after qualifying for the Euros as well. Some people will just never be happy I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair; they had several gilt-edged chances to score, especially in the first half. Far better than anything we created. Had we playing someone like Denmark, you'd expect they'd have scored four or five unless they were being particularly profligate. It's worrying, but they didn't convert any of them, and somehow we won (which I'm putting down to Clarke having unnatural powers). The ball absolutely came off Dykes' chest, by the way. I'm surprised there's still any question of it, as it was clear in the replays. Delighted things are coming good for him in a Scotland shirt; you'd think he could've picked up some caps for the Aussies if he'd wanted, and had a much easier shot at playing at a World Cup, but he chose us and there's no denying the effort he puts in, much like Adams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his defending and how it negatively impacts our team especially when he is played in combination with McTominay. One day you'll understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you on about? That's complete rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never a Man City, Liverpool type of player, but certainly good enough for a mid to bottom half EPL team, footballing purists will never take to him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what that means. Were we happy that we qualified for the Euros ? Yes, of course. Were we happy that when we got there and looked like wee boys at a big boys party, and didn't do the country justice once again ? Well, I would hope not. There's long been a perception of Scottish football fans as 'just being happy to get there'. I'm sure you're not suggesting that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hit him somewhere between the Adidas badge on his right breast and the 3 white stripes on the shoulder. It's not handball and certainly nowhere near enough evidence to overcome the fact it was given as a goal on the pitch. It would be interesting to find out if it was considered clear enough to over-rule if a goal hadn't been given but fortunately we didn't need to find out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Deans Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The Faroes looked far better than what I was expecting. Was it us making them look good?. Partly and they are also genuinely better than I thought after Hampden. Good result. Abject display but in contrast to some recent campaigns this team goes for 90 minutes. Or 96. Credit for that lads and look where we are now because of it. Wasn't a fan of Stevie Clarke at the Euros and again last night the changes were half an hour too late. But fair play to him for where we are now in terms of qualifying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pitch is plastic, but there is no roof on the stadium. The venue is therefore outdoors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
