Ukraine v Scotland (27/9/22)

[KingRocketman II]

tough watch over 90 mins. some periods we were in control but quite a few good chances for Ukraine. I wonder what our formation/reaction would be if they hadn't blazed that chance over the bar in the first half. Anyway, fortune favours the brave. After tonight/last three games, what have we learned:

- Hickey is our right back;

- can play equally well with 4 or 3 at the back;

- pray that Gordon keeps fit and wants to keep playing international football; 

- best squad depth and first 11 we have had in decades;

- Hendry is probably our best natural centre half;

-McLean is a thank you for your service but last appearance/squad selection;

San Marino, incidentally, finished 2nd last - ahead of Liechtenstein

I was wrong about 3rd seed, we are actually 4th. Meaning atm we're off to fucking Israel

A trip to Israel gives me the fear but realistically something would have to go incredibly wrong for all 4 of the runners up to fail to qualify from pot 2.

 

I would suspect we will end up with a home SF if we do end up in the playoffs, which I certainly hope we do not.

Premier Sports not having anyone at the game is disappointing.

Sorry Bing, my phone has decided I'm perma-quoting you (rent free etc).

Worth remembering that Adams, Dykes, Fraser, Armstrong and Christie were playing while ill. 

God I fucking love this team.

Hey my stalker position has already been filled

Longer term there's every chance Hickey will play left back and right back, midfield upfront and become captain . 

Fixed that mate

It is an amazing feeling that Scotland are the only home nation in the top tier of the Nations League.

After years of the Tierney/Robertson conundrum I’m now wondering how we can shoehorn Patterson and Hickey in together. 

Cracker !

[Ro Sham Bo]

Can't believe I sat through all that post match analysis and there wasn't a single interview with someone from the Scotland camp. Absolutely shocking.

Robertson and Tierney are still only 28 and 25 respectively so I can’t see Hickey dislodging them any time soon.

If Harry Maguire is £80m how much is Porteous worth?

[BFTD]

That was fun. We should do this more often.

It's actually ridiculous that Israel have a 'better' record than us for seeding purposes having not had to play a pot 1 side.  Hey ho

If Tierney wasn't so injury prone I would agree. But he is, and I think in 3 or 4 years time Hickey starting ahead of them both is definitely possible.

It's not a Christmas tree.

I would hope Grant Hanley is also never seen again as first choice after the last 3 games
