J_Stewart Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 That might be the best half of football I’ve ever seen Scotland play. Sensational across the board. What a fucking team we’re becoming. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) What a half. We have been utterly superb in every aspect. Danes have realized that no matter where they are on the pitch if they receive the ball they're about to be absolutely hounded, they don't like that one bit. They'll ask us questions 2nd half, but i've got confidence we'll have the answers. Edited November 15, 2021 by parsforlife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedingums Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Brilliant first half. Think we need another if we’re to win it, but they’ve been fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenockraver Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 there was a defensive play in the first half that was an absolute clinic. the one before the route one ball to adams and robertson. DIspossesed the dane, made 4 passes out of danger and played a long ball exquisite 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Not been on the site since just before k.o. but I have to say that is one of the best first half performances from Scotland that I can remember seeing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Outrageously good first half. Even better when you consider that we’re missing two of our first choice defenders and our main striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Seeing a few others saying it, but that really is the Scottish identity in that half. A ferociously high tempo, always playing forward, direct with the ball and dominant defensively. That’s the national identity right there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz5 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Best half we've played in a long time.Fantastic, to a man.We have a properly good group of players here, many of them a right good age.Delighted for Soutar. I'll confess I hadn't thought him an international player but that's as good at anyone has handled their striker. Hasn't given him an inch. He's certainly giving Clarke food for thought. His goal was a bonus, defensively I thought he was excellent.I'm not a huge Clarke fan, mainly in his approach (particularly at the Euros) but credit where its due. National managers live and die by the quality of players we have at the time, but he has us playing like a club side and that takes some doing. So fair play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lina_sif Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 What the hell happened to Scotland between September and now Seems like a completely different team I really hate to say it, but the 1-0 was well deserved. Hope we'll take back some of what we lost in first half. We are not really looking very impressive at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qos_75 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 What a first half. It absolutely flew in. We have been on the front foot for the majority, but when we have countered we have done it at pace. This has been a joy to watch, it really has. More of the same in the second half please. Well done to Souttar to. What a e return to the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 That's as good a half as I've seen us playing in about 20 years. We've been playing like a team who goes deep into tournaments with regularity. And in the process, outplayed a team who does! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 What a fantastic first half. John Souttar deserves it so, so much after the time he has had with injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 We are playing a similar game to that which has won Denmark loads of plaudits the last couple of years..............if this is the blueprint for the future, I am in 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I really, really, really hope we can maintain this into the second half. Pure adrenaline clearly helps but that's the best I've seen Scotland play in years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 That was outstanding. More of the same please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
