I almost crashed my motor when I heard he was playing, but he was actually outstanding tonight. Cant stand the guy but fair play tonight...Porteous was absolutely outstanding tonight.
I feel fucking disgusting saying that.
If he wasn't such a knob....
Plus basically everyone in Pot A will get their automatically through the proper route so we are all but guaranteed to get into the 2028 oneTop two in the group go to the euros from group A and unbelievably Scotland will go in seeded
And a guaranteed playoff spot if not in top 2
Thing is he can be quite good when he plays football rather than acting like a bellend.Porteous was absolutely outstanding tonight.
I feel fucking disgusting saying that.

Yes, Hendry was also tremendous, the reason I picked out Porteous was he was a new boy and I also liked the way he tried to hit intelligent space when he was forced into clearing the ball forward.Hendry had a very decent game and can't have been easy trying to organise that defence with Porteous and Taylor. Hickey never put a foot wrong again too. Oh and I'm so glad Craig Gordon left Celtc for Hearts as he's a far far better keeper than Hart.
Playoff spot guaranteed.What reward does topping the group get for Scotland?
He was tremendous. His tackle at the end was incrediblePorteous was absolutely outstanding tonight.

Could actually be a really good set-up. Ditch the European Championship, increase the group sizes and just have European champions base on the mini tournament at the end. Could make this a glamour group stage rather than Semis & final.I still don’t know how this nations league works
My brain won’t allow it
And a Pot B team for the proper qualification groups which is huge. We are normally C at best.
Should we sign him?That porteous challenge bear the end was immense to be fair
He's a rodent, but tbh one we'd probably laud, as giving his all every game if he was one of ours.He was tremendous. His tackle at the end was incredible
League A as a seeded side (pot 2)what group do scotland go into now in the nations league
League A - groups yet to be drawn.what group do scotland go into now in the nations league
He will be great backup to Nathan pattersonHickey is something else btw.
I must admit.
I thought that game was utter shite.
I thoroughly enjoyed itI must admit.

If it was that porteous from tonight then in an absolute heartbeat. If its the arsehole who tried to hurt folk and act the big man, then no. Overall, if his contract expires in the summer and he is a free, id be fine with him being at least looked at.Should we sign him?
I thoroughly enjoyed it
It wouldn't be popular.Should we sign him?
Either he or Robbie McCrorie was motm for me.How did Jacko perform?
Did he see out the match? Seems to play well with McGregor? (Boak).

Looked far sharper than he has all seasonHow did Jacko perform?

I thought he strolled it. May have been a fair bit easier playing on Hickey's side rather than Taylor's though.I thought hendry was mom for me
It was a fairly shyte game from a football perspective, but as a defensive performance, Scotland gave a fantastic account of themselves considering their selection problems.I thought both sides were utter garbage but that's your opinion and you're entitled to it.
Would get sent off for fun through hereShould we sign him?
Bingo! Just what we're looking for.Looked far sharper than he has all season
Did well and worked hard
Top two go through from each group I think.Gordon, Hickey, Hendry, Jack, Adams all played very well.
I see praise for Porteous, but he was still in among flashpoints unnecessarily. 90th minute and he's striding up the park and giving the ball away. Immature at times.
Callum McGregor will need a couple of weeks off. He looked knackered.
McGinn was pretty quiet as well.
Scotland have a few solid players and it looks like we can compete at that 2nd tier. Hopefully we get one of the lesser #1 seeds for Euros qualifying.
It wouldn't be popular.
However, he probably is a player who needs a lot of calming and some proper coaching.
You can joke all you want, but he doesn't get bullied, he can tackle and when he keeps the head he shows some discipline in his positioning.
Then when you add that he isn't constantly on the fckn treatment bench, he has a few things going for him.
However, if he keeps his temperament under control he will get a decent move down south.
We won't be buying him.
was rather refreshing our back line had pace, take Taylor out replace with tierney it’s a decent back 4 as I was very surprised how good the hibs thug wasI thought he strolled it. May have been a fair bit easier playing on Hickey's side rather than Taylor's though.
I once heard the same about Paul Gascoigne.No, no and triple no!!
He's a ned, a thug, a Rangers hating scumbag who should be nowhere near our club.
Top 2 and a best 3rd or something I think. Then we have the nations league playoffs to fall back on vs the 3 teams from the B leagues who don’t manage to qualify automatically. A good place to beTop two go through from each group I think.

He’s far more likely to sign for the filth than usIt wouldn't be popular.

Well done. Many of the fans dont deserve that, but many do too
Just seen Israel got promoted to league A as well, it's been a few months since we've played them so probably due to draw them
