Match Thread Scotland v Cyprus (14:00 KO)

[MillportBear]

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

Three times. Today, V Costa Rica and V England.

 

[mathers1]

Think he’s playing Jack instead of Ferguson
Which shows how high he rates Jack

Ferguson could easily play further forward alongside McGinn.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Three times. Today, V Costa Rica and V England.

Costa Rica is the Women's game, I'm not counting that.

 

[MillportBear]

Costa Rica is the Women's game, I'm not counting that.

Genuinely didn’t know that. Just thought we had a friendly against Costa Rica in the summer.

 

[Wordy_Rappinghood]

Pitch is shocking.

 

[Oleg_McNoleg]

This thread is like a Fathers for Justice message board, ffs.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Genuinely didn’t know that. Just thought we had a friendly against Costa Rica in the summer.

They could do a bad memories tour, take in Peru and Iran while they're at it.

 

[ibrox1975]

Hickey is immense man of the match so far

 

[BSOI]

Pitch is a shamble

Just said that to my mates.
Looks as if it cuts up too easy.
Shambles of a national stadium all-round

 

[MillportBear]

They could do a bad memories tour, take in Peru and Iran while they're at it.

Morocco too

 

[ibrox1975]

Hardly. A CB for Blackburn ffs

Just sticking up for a Leuchars boy you understand there aren’t many of us about

That could take a while.

 

[MotherwellBear45]

Ryan Jack has been solid so far, great first half from him!

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Just sticking up for a Leuchars boy you understand there aren’t many of us about

Having connections to Leuchars, I was very surprised to not be aware he was from there and then I learned he left when he was about 5 months old.

Still, very nice to see

 

[sifter]

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

Why?

Are they bringing another new one out after that?

 

[Chris01]

Ryan Jack has been solid so far, great first half from him!

Yet he will still be hated by the majority of supporters

 

[Paisleybear30]

Jesus. That image of Clarke there sums up everything about Scottish football

 

[The Crimson King]

Ryan Jack has been solid so far, great first half from him!

He's been extremely composed in midfield and played some cracking balls forward. Really good game from him so far.

 

[MmmBacon]

Just sticking up for a Leuchars boy you understand there aren’t many of us about

Fair enough

 

[WinkieWATP]

Is it known yet who the likely play off opponents will be through the Nations League?

 

[HandsomeHead]

Strip is an absolute cracker.

Scotland strips should always have white shorts and red socks.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Why?

Are they bringing another new one out after that?

No idea.

The commentator just said it would be worn again when we play England, and that the women's team would also wear it once.

 

[Bluetac 73]

Is it known yet who the likely play off opponents will be through the Nations League?

Depends on who wins Eurovision.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Depends on who wins Eurovision.

Thanks

 

[Flesher's Haugh]

Hickey is immense man of the match so far

His athleticism and physique is similar to a young Gareth Bale, unbelievable what his move to Italy as done for him, he was a scrawy little kid when he left Scotland. Joy to watch him playing.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Pitch is shocking.

Wait till we get it after a run of matches. Cup semi will be a paddy field.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Was on twitter there and of course Ryan Jack getting pelters. They basically want no Rangers connection to the national side.

What is he getting pelters for?

He has been pretty solid, nothing spectacular but it’s what I’d class as a typical Ryan Jack performance

 

[instructor]

Uninspiring from Scotland, 1 forward against Cyprus!
At least we look like winning.

 

[derek145]

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

I'm the same as him, never heard of him

 

[Jim Prideaux]

I searched him on twitter.

First 5 tweets are all fans praising him.

Everyone has opinions, Twitter is a place where idiots get to voice their opinions in unison. Thankfully my feed is pretty clean.

 

[Arlo]

Get Dykes on for Adams

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Honestly don’t think there’s any song I hate more in the world than that stupid fucking ‘boogie’ song that seems to have become synonymous with Scotland.

 

[JocktheRipper]

I think Jack looks every inch an internationalist, doesn't look out of place at all

 

[huistrasleftpeg]

There should be a health warning before showing McGins coupon.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Oh look, I'm oan the telly!

 

[ranger nation]

Being a Rangers player I'd imagine.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Not up against any decent standard, but Hanley is playing well.

 

[ibrox1975]

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

Hickey is my man of the match so far
Very strong, reliable and looks to have turned into a hairy arsed man
Last time I saw him he looked quite thin and almost fragile not now though.
By the way he isn’t a left back these days he’s a right back for his club now.

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

Being a Rangers player I'd imagine.

Really is sad that folk can't put club allegiances aside.

Changing the subject, I think McGregor has been the worst player on the park.

He has been really good - I actually really like Hickey as a player. Yeah, had that discussion about him being a left back no longer and it's fair enough.

 

[ibrox1975]

I’ve watched the whole game mate there hasn’t been one single moment when Jack has been given anything other than huge support
I was looking for that myself as it happens.

If he’s getting pelters it’s not in the stadium it must be the stink pit that is Twitter

 

[Teddy Lasso]

Robertson is so overrated it's frightening.

 

[Isje 931]

I like hickey but think Patterson offers more for the way Clarke plays. We need width and Patterson provides more than Hickey, constantly wants to come inside Hickey

 

[Southsideblueblood]

This is utterly dire. And the famous Hampden crowd. It's like a morgue.

 

[the_baron]

Need to change it up top, it's all one way traffic but not really creating any real chances.

Edit - there we are, forced change but one that should have been made anyway.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Wait till Spain get him.

 

[Tin Man’s Shoes]

I just had to check the volume was still working on my TV when the commentators took a breather there,
What an absolute library

 

[Teddy Lasso]

This is utterly dire. And the famous Hampden crowd. It's like a morgue.

Face paints and tartan tammys with pin collections though...boke.

The stadium aint fit for purpose anyway.
