  1. Would like to see big hendry start on tuesday. Not heard a lot about him since the denmark game.
  2. Also a footnote... every player looked like they love coming to play for scotland. Thats something we should enjoy while we have it as it makes aw the difference .
  3. Aye , pretty much same as what i thought. Gilmours clearance was clarkes "dont get beat" tactics in full flow. Was a joyous block.... ye knew at that point we are a tough side to beat.
  4. Sharp as a tack tonight. Standout performance again
  5. A lot of positives in that game. Picked right up from the denmark game and on the whole controlled the game well against decent opposition. Usual wee bit of lack of quality in the final 3rd but we are playing well. Patterson impressive again. Wisny a penalty
  6. If rangers win the uel, what happens to the automatic and qualifiers places in the spfl? Can scotland have 3 representitves in the champions league?
  7. im nae old firm guy ... but i am a scottish fitba man. well done . that was a classic.
  8. I think young scott and the manager are still trying to figure out his role for scotland. hes that technically gifted, tall, strong and quick that hes done a wee bit of everything. a special case maybe ? in terms of ryan 2nd goal against denmark, ye could have jack or mclean winning that ball. I think its a key position for us. Someone who can nick the ball off a top player , look them in the eye and make them think they will do it again. It's great to have choice in that position instead of relying on just the one player imo. a player like that can lift the whole team. keane at man u and makelele at real were obviously the industry standard for this type of player... but players like that can make great attacking players think twice, even at our level. ive been wrang before mind...many times . but i look at big ryan and reckon he handles the big occasion well
  9. it's a harsh, harsh thing to leave somebody oot but at the same time its great to have both kenny mclean and a fit ryan jack to pick from
  10. totally agree. which is why he was brought on. He stopped it becoming and embarassment in the midfield. especially against the mcgregor mccarthy and soro trio , he shored things up well i thought, considering the context of his appearance.
  11. Played an impressive 45 minutes tonight, thought he shored things up well in the context of already being 3-0 down. along with big alan, probably stopped rangers suffering an embarassement against a fast skillful celtic side. great to see ryan coming back after a horrible year or 2. heres hoping he can sustain a run in the rangers team and be available for selection in march. even hit the bar tae hes a great option to have in a hectic, battling midfield.
  12. It's that kind of attitude that get ye georgia 07ed Ukraine are a proud football nation and will see this as a great chance to get to the final
  13. I was watching the Denmark game for the 10000000000th time ... John Mcginn was miles ahead of anyone on the park and his baw in was perfect... but thats just john for ye when he pulls on the dark blue these days... reckon clarke knows that...Shades a wee faddy in mcginn when he plays for Scotland. Liam's header back to the face of goal was due to him taking an advanced position, one where he was able to make an impact, which allowed him to use his experience at the top level to set up young johns epic goal...Liam being a guy who's took pelters, showing us his class. Souttar hungry as f*ck. Good link up between the two CBs I remember Clarke talking about how highly he thinks of McPhee and if we remember the form of Northern Ireland from not too long ago, one wonders how much of a factor set piece analysis and practice was in them doing so well. Ive got faith in the guy. I think he could be really important for us in the playoffs. Plus he looks like Thom Yorke from Radiohead .
  14. Nisbet didwell against the big celtic defender at points today. had his number the whole game and was unlucky not to score
  15. is it oot of order I couldnae give a monkeys f**k about this competition until our ukraine business is done ?
  16. A standout tonight for celtic again. Nathan has the jersey to lose, but big tony is hot on his heels! That's without even bringing O'donnell into the equation. great to see us having such depth at RB. Edit: getting ma pattersons mixed up.
  17. Watch from 40.21 to 40.33... Now watch.. (0.44-0.55) .... Im sorry for the rubbish formatting lol. I think our team now is better than our great team of 07. and provided one of a few examples of why! I watched them v austria at the euros and theres not a lot to fear if we are up for it imo...
  18. coming through this whole norwich nightmare still in great shape where others would have faded . the boy is going to be a superstar (if he isnt already)
  19. Im all for more gilmours and pattersons ! wild success stories so far an all positive. But our performance against denmark was a real Scottish performance. filled with identity. The will to WIN is a big part of our game whether we like it or not, its the way we play our football . Its all about finding a balance to suit the footballing identity in international football imo.
  20. I like the fact mctominay's inclusion is being called to question it says a lot about the strength in depth of our squad now and no doubt will make that young man hungrier . I dont see much of a deserter in mcsauce . Wee fraser on the other hand... hope im wrang on that one .
  21. Nisbet impressed today for Hibs. First to admit i dont watch huge amounts of hibs but i hadn't realised that young kevin had that assist in his locker. Receives ball with a deft touch (like mcginn, holding off the man), adjusts his position then delivers a quality through ball on his 2nd touch to Doyle to put him through for the goal. Maybe developing through playing with top players in the scotland camp? its a possibility
