🦄 Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 v 🇮🇪 Ireland 🍀 - 24th September

[LiviLion]

Pretty clear that booking was for kicking the ball away (again), no?

[Leith Green]

Christ, are they actually singing "oh ah, up the RA" ?

Fucking peasants

[jagfox]

Cullen booked at least.

Shower of hatchet men

[TONTROOPER]

The Ukraine spent most of the game sitting in and playing for whatever they could get.

Not for the first time, if a team presses our defenders high up we suddenly lose contact with our midfield and attacking options drop through the floor. It's not the coach, it's the team. 

 

 

If a 'team' fault isn't the responsibility of the coach, then what is?

[jagfox]

Absolutely nothing in the final third. 

[Guest]

Horrific first half performance. Christie and Dykes offering nothing

[Leith Green]

Struggling to believe we are losing to a Kenny team......

A disgraceful - but not surprising - 45 minutes from Clarke’s Scotland.
The positives are we walk out of that half only one behind, and there’s still 45 to play, so all is not lost.
The negatives are we are being comprehensively bodied by a hopeless Ireland team, for the second time in three months. Why though?
We’ve been poor one to eleven but special mentions to the hopeless McGregor and Christie. I didn’t know they were playing either. Dykes? Nope, he’s not good enough to start for QPR this weather so who knows why he’s starting for us.
Maybe there will be a huge turnaround in second half..?
Unless we avoid defeat here we will need a win in Poland. Ireland will beat Armenia on the final day and when they do they will finish above us on the H2H on 10 points if we draw with Ukraine.

Usually keep that stuff for England games but Scotland fans booed their anthem and McClean when he’s on the ball.

[DukDukGoose]

McGinn is so involved in everything that when he's having a stinker like tonight then it's a real issue.

Hopefully picks himself up in the second half.

[Ludo*1]

That was an abysmal first half. 

Ran out of ideas at points it felt. Not sure we had a shot on target. Being kept at arms length far too easily.

What do they have in common?

[eez-eh]

It’s a shame we literally have one wide option in the squad because this lot are coasting it by defending narrowly.

That lot got one chant that isn't a Celtic song?

The question should be, do Celtic have a chant that isn't an Irish song?

[Biscuits]

Very poor.  They have their goal now they're just going to kick f**k out of everything that moves.

No need for two holding midfielders  - mcgregor off and Adams on.  

[Comrie]

Shocking first half performance. Hickey is trying, nobody else is.

 

How the Irish still have 11 on the pitch is beyond me. Doherty with four or five nasty wee ones that went unpunished.

[same_ol_g35]

I can't believe this absolute gang are bodying us again!
