    Just saw the last 4 games of that, and it seemed all to simple for Murray, not sure Goffin was playing at what he was capable of but 6-2 6-2 is a bit of a doing

    Murray had to dig in and save his service game a few times.  He put a lot of pressure on Goffins seevice.  One game at the start of the second set lasted 15 minutes before Goffin held.  A few key moments made it look a doing but it really wasn't although Andy always looked like winning.

    You can make a team of 23-27 year olds, who aren't currently starters, that wouldn't be a whole lot worse than we have, except for the CB position, which is still awful.

    Bain

    Palmer - Wilson - Cooper - Shinnie

    Phillips - Bridcutt - Cairney - Ritchie

    Rhodes - Griffiths

    Have you at least got Burke on the  bench in your squad?

    Nick Kyrgios just tanked against Mischa Zverev.  Absolutely tremendous viewing.  Underarm serves, over arm ones just tapping it over the net, walking back to the chair as soon as Zverev hits the ball, arguing with the fans.

    Sublime.

    FFS.  Fucking missed it.  Didn't watch as I thought he might have his head together after Japan.  Warning signs were there though after him stating he was bored.

    There was no fitness issue. He was dropped from the squad - despite there being no limit on the amount of subs we could name - due to 'lack of experience'.

    That's obviously a clear lie from our manager. He could have just made him an unused sub and raised no eyebrows if that was the actual reason. Not to mention the fact that we had 2 players on the pitch with similar experience to Burke in McGinn and Tierney. He would also have been an excellent option to have from the bench if we were chasing a goal or two in the final stages of the game.

    The only logical explanation is that there's been some kind of issue between Burke and Strachan and as a result of that he wasn't even stripped. I would be surprised if we see him play for Scotland again while WGS is in charge, let's hope he and us won't have to wait too long.

    You forgot to mention Paterson.  Didn't he make his debut in the same game as McGinn?
