Match Thread Scotland v Cyprus (14:00 KO)

[Barrymoped]

Sorry, didn't see it before. Robertson, Tierney and Hickey. My count is 3 and they are left backs.

Quite sad the fud has gone with such a defensive setup at home to Cyprus though. Oh well, lets see where it goes.

We have went 3 at the back, 5 in midfield with two attacking full backs, I’m not entirely sure Clark had to many options to go much more attacking than that

 

[R P McMurphy]

Are you new to watching football then?
Pretty much how all football goes.
I means it’ll never be as exciting as rugby but it does it’s best right

Mate it’s the first game of the qualifiers. When you compare the two teams we should be scudding them yet we’ve barely created a chance. The atmosphere in the ground sounds dead. It’s been boring as %^*& so far.

Who tf is Hyam?

Tell me you don’t know anything about football without telling me you know nothing about football

 

[Jjbscotty]

What happend to the famous hampden roar?

 

[MillportBear]

Fair enough, how's he getting on? He is a left back though. Guess we're not exactly bursting with options.

He’s playing well for Brentford. But if he’s not played left back in over a year he is no longer a left back. Thats like saying Lee McCulloch was always a striker because he started out as one.

Hickey, Patterson and Ramsay will probably be the Scotland right backs for the next decade or so. Maybe Devine as well.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

That’s a foul surely

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Good goalt

Or maybe not?

 

[Stevie13000]

What happend to the famous hampden roar?

More like Hampden whimper

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

This is pish

Not until you actually pay attention as well to the ground you realise how shite that place is

Not a new statement but the State of that massive gap behind the goals.

An abysmal stadium

 

[Jim Prideaux]

16 international goals for Scotland is very impressive.

How’s that !
I agree mate first 15 minutes were pretty dire

 

[whyme]

I think this is offisde

Not as clear as I first thought.

 

[Wordy_Rappinghood]

Nice goal.

 

[devilman]

Decent enough goal. Offside though?

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Sid from Toy Story scores

 

[Sheamaker]

Offside I would say with first ball to Robertson.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Right centre back playing him on IMO

Edit: Both playing him on.

 

[WinkieWATP]

CH plays Robertson on surely?

 

[Stevie13000]

Looks offside

 

[devilman]

Not offside. Nice! 1 - 0 Scotland

Needs demolished and totally rebuilt. Finals and big qualifiers can be at Murrayfield for a couple years and then Ibrox, Piggery, Tynecastle, Pittodrie and Easter Road can split the rest.

 

[the_baron]

Some ball from Armstrong.

 

[Sheamaker]

Will take it but certainly thought Robertson was off.

Never going to happen ffs

 

[Blues and Royals]

Robertson looked offside there but VAR up here doesn’t seem to have the proper technology to draw a line across the pitch.

 

[derek145]

I wonder how they will analyse the possible offside at the goal, will it get the scrutiny we got last week?

 

[Ambiorix]

Looked well onside when you see the lines. What took them so long?

 

[sifter]

That looked more offside than Sakala last weekend at Motherwell. I’ll await the interrogation on Sportscene

 

[Battle Fever's On]

Amazing how VAR is accepted again when it's Scotland, even saying the pictures must be scewed as it looks tight.

 

[Arlo]

Looked well onside when you see the lines. What took them so long?

That was rapid in comparison to the shite we put up with week in week out.

 

[Vallance]

What happend to the famous hampden roar?

The Hampden Hum.

 

[MillportBear]

Never going to happen ffs

Doesn’t mean its not what should happen. Hampden is an utter embarrassment

 

[Teddy Lasso]

Fanta fanny achnowlodging the different camera angles that VAR has.

Irony is ironic.

 

[Madjid Moments]

Mid table Championship isn't a great level. Many average players there.

He's always been a Scottish media favourite. I think we know why.

The championship is a good standard and more competitive than here.

He will be tested and improve as a player there far more than he ever would at Hibs.

 

[ibrox1975]

Hickey looks like a man now.
Playing very well too like his link up with Jack and the Celtc player

 

[the_baron]

He's developed into a really good player. Looks deceptively strong as well.

 

[JamboReid1874]

Hickey looks like a man now.
Playing very well too like his link up with Jack and the ‘Opposition’ player

Fixed that for you mate

 

[Pedrotremendes]

Ryan Jack is twice the player Calum McGregor is, so comfortable on the ball and passing positive more often than not. Said so many times, but if he was able to play most games he'd be out of sight of 'googly eyes'

 

[DazRFC94]

What a dive hahahaa

 

[GR6Ger]

Tell me you don’t know anything about football without telling me you know nothing about football

Not sure if serious.

 

[the_baron]

Taking a dive on the half way line ffs

 

[HowdenEnder]

Gunn was lucky that hit his arse or it would be 1-1 now.

 

[the_baron]

State of the pitch could have cost us there. Turf cutting up under Gunn's feet and making him slip.

 

[whyme]

There should be a health warning before showing McGins coupon.

 

[MillportBear]

Don’t worry, I’m sure the pitch will be in tip top condition by our semi final.

 

[MillportBear]

Should be blurred out like the good parts in a Japanese porno

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Pitch is a shamble

 

[MmmBacon]

Tell me you don’t know anything about football without telling me you know nothing about football

Hardly. A CB for Blackburn ffs

 

[HowdenEnder]

So this £90 top is only being worn twice by the team?

 

[Vallance]

There should be a health warning before showing McGins coupon.

Should do that pixelating thing over his head.
