Match Thread Scotland v Cyprus (14:00 KO)

[Awritenobad]

The Cyprus player literally didn’t touch Christie yet Fantabaws is having a pony

 

[Socrates]

Christie diving again

Michael Stewart: thats Incredible its not a foul

Thought that as well, went down a bit easy

 

[VGM]

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

What happened?

 

[ibrox1975]

Hickey injured - Patterson on

 

[exeterbear]

Tierney is so weak!

 

[Arminius]

Ginger bawz really gives me a sore head with the amount of shite that spews out his stupid looking face

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Haven’t looked like scoring at all this half.

 

[Ubik]

Have Scotland on at -2, sitting here thinking I should have known better right now.

hi Charlie

 

[Arran Honey Pear]

Lost control since Ryan Jack went off

 

[dcbear]

Good play from Scotland til it gets to Christie and he cant control it. He's got 36 caps despite never being international class.

 

[Socrates]

Scotland definitely been worse since Jack subbed off

 

[exeterbear]

Patterson coming on for Hickey

 

[56 ASAP]

Christie diving again

Michael Stewart: thats Incredible its not a foul

Incredible it's not a yellow, more like.
Just cos he is back in Scotland, he must've forgotten that it's not a Scottish referee.

 

[exeterbear]

Scotland definitely been worse since Jack subbed off

We've lost control.

 

[Arminius]

I have never seen it with Christie.

Awful player

 

[Paisleybear30]

What happened?

Nothing really, just the scruffy image of him standing looking absolutely miserable and bored out his tits despite his team winning 1-0.

 

[WinkieWATP]

If Cyprus equalise its on the manager. Negative tactics, negative substitutions and sitting in looking to score from a long ball out of defence.

 

[Cooper 11]

Scotland definitely been worse since Jack subbed off

The 2nd half has been a non event

 

[sheddensbear]

Scotland have fallen out of the game here.

 

[The Iceman]

The Cyprus player literally didn’t touch Christie yet Fantabaws is having a pony

Best bit of the whole game, anything that winds him up is fine by me.

 

[HowdenEnder]

What happened?

Caught on camera swigging a half bottle of Buckfast. :shh:

 

[RangerInCanada]

Christie looks like he hasnt played any football this year.

And McGregor being found out here with a referee who doesn't allow the constant early cynical fouls in midfield (same as happens to them in Europe)

 

[Pioneer]

That pitch is an absolute tattie field.

 

[ibrox1975]

There was an excellent spell in the first half when Hickey, Jack, McGregor, McGinn, Armstrong were linking really well.
That energy and understanding has been lost

 

[HandsomeHead]

Scotland hanging on at home to Cyprus.

Well worth a contract extension that.

 

[ferguson]

We're a tough watch. There's so little creativity which isn't surprising when you start the match with 5 defenders and 4 central midfielders. We've looked good recently with four at the back but we're back to a back three to shoehorn Arsenal's third choice left back into the team.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Dykes is another big lump of nothing. Why pick a guy returning from illness ahead of shankland who is in form.

 

[The Iceman]

Dykes = carthorse

 

[devilman]

Robertson really is shite at crossing the ball - in fact, he's a grossly overrated player all in.

 

[Northayrshirebear]

Just took off the two players who were having the

Clarkes team selections and general approach are often uninspiring and boring.

Scotland will remain in the dark ages while he remains at the helm.

We’ve been calling out for a forward thinking coach for what seems like decades now yet the sfa persist with him.

Clarke is doing a decent job, only gripe I had with him was the performance against the Czechs in the euros, so much anti clarke in here
He is the best non old firm manager in a long time he had killie playing a good style and were hard to beat

 

[top_cat]

I have never seen it with Christie.

Awful player

I felt his best years were when he was at the Sheep on loan.

 

[LAW]

This a truly dreadful performance. No way we get out this group.

They will be Lucky to get third in this group.

 

[ibrox1975]

Dykes is another big lump of nothing. Why pick a guy returning from illness ahead of shankland who is in form.

Shankland is injured mate

 

[Walter Sobchak]

This is dire stuff. This is the easiest fixture in the group and we're hanging on to a one goal lead. This team lost 5 goals against fucking Kosovo.

 

[ranger nation]

Dykes is another big lump of nothing. Why pick a guy returning from illness ahead of shankland who is in form.

The way commentator was talking you'd think dykes is Marco van Basten when he was coming on

 

[CF4]

Delusional to think this shower of shite have any chance getting out this group.

 

[devilman]

Nice one. McTominey with the 2nd.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Great goal. 2-0

 

[jones65]

Peach of a goal there.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Thank Christ for that.

 

[Barrymoped]

@Jim Prideaux there you go mate, never in doubt

 

[dcbear]

Nice goal, Dykes and McTominay linking up well.

 

[ibrox1975]

What a great goal

 

[HowdenEnder]

Decent finish from Plug.

 

[insanicdrunk]

How many pointless long balls have Scotland played this second half?

This is a woeful game. All that is missing is the plastic pitch and it would look like it was killie!

 

[Arminius]

Come on Scotland !!!

Weather this Cypriot storm and hang into our fine 1-0 home win

Hahaha. This post gives away my viewing method. LOL

Woo hooo. 2-0.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

@Jim Prideaux there you go mate, never in doubt

Great goal too

 

[JayDee]

Excellent goal by McTominay.

 

[Damsidebear]

2 - 0

 

[ArfieldSalute]

Good finish
