I say this just about every Scotland match but David Turnbull has fantastic delivery from wide areas, corners, set pieces. He's the best we have at putting a ball into the box.

Never plays.

Because that is literally all he has. 

He's behind 4 or 5 other players in our midfield despite the shite performance tonight.

Watched McGinn's chance again. Absolutely terrible. Much like the Euros, you'll quite simply won't get anywhere against half decent sides when you miss fucking stupid sitters like that. 

McGinn has been pretty poor for a long time now.

Ukraine were not good defensively, which is why Scotland got a comedy goal to keep them in a match they should have been sworded in. 

The goalkeeper was comically poor.

Of course we troubled him not at all bar the goal and McGrim's comedy miss.

Very disappointing performances all round, regularly making the wrong decisions at key moments. Never managed to get the tactics right, and Steve Clarke's warlock powers weren't enough to do more than stop Ukraine scoring more of their chances when we were sluggish at the back. But, it was still a better performance than some of the poorer ones from the start of Clarke's reign, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that the extraordinary occasion might have caused the team to regress. I guess we'll see if the hangover bleeds into the Nations League games.

Despite how we made them look tonight, I still maintain Ukraine are a pretty mediocre side, and Wales ought to beat them.

Assuming you mean for Aston Villa...

Anyway - woeful set up and Clarke reverting to his dinosaur tactics of bypassing the midfield. McGinn and at least another seven absolutely awful.

We have a decent squad on paper. They are good enough for their clubs. Yet again at home to a nation around our level we don’t show up. The players simply aren’t interested and the so-called Scottish media couldn’t be more delighted that Ukraine won.

Starting with two up front tonight was a mistake. Hickey is not a RWB yet so there was not much progress on that side In the first half. Robertson was always marked so never had it easy on the left

That will confuse the f**k out of the Rangers fans who revel in Scotland losing but also hate Sturgeon with a passion.

A tricky one for the bears indeed.

good one m8

Euros are alright, but you really want to be at a World Cup.

I turned 24 during the first one in my lifetime that we missed.  

We've only made one since.  

 

 

I've never watched us in any with my son and he'll be 20 by the next time that's possible.  It's grim.
