Anything less than 3 points is a disaster of a result.
They're not good, we're far better than we were the times we've dropped points there before and everyone knows it's a must win.
Of course we are capable of blowing it, but let's no kid on it's no a game we should win comfortably

I think the projections there make a few pretty big assumptions. Norway are probably going to struggle as their last game is away to the Netherlands and Netherlands will need to win. Turkey will probably pip them imo.
Russia are more likely to be in the playoffs than Croatia I'd think.
Poland, Romania and Ukraine all have plenty work to do to make the playoffs as well

Strongest team possible for me. I’d partner Dykes with Nisbet.
Which Is it, cause the first doesn't include Nisbet.

Livramento would walk into our team and instantly be one our best players. He is absolutely incredible and will be a very, very good player when he gets older. I think he’ll be in the England team within no time unfortunately. Chelsea will probably buy him back in 2023He certainly doesn't sound like he's dead against the idea tbf

It would be daft to go all out attack over there. Sit back, let them come on to us and try and hit them on the break or nick something from a set piece. It worked for Denmark and it'll *hopefully* work for us.
Go out and try to play on the break against the Faroes? Come on

Absolutely buzzing at that 2nd half, exactly what you'd want Scotland to play like. Thought Gilmour, Robbo and McTominay were outstanding

Which was my point when you claimed its an "exciting" system.
It would end up like ours, with a lot of space in midfield and an isolated striker.
I mean it wasn't me that claimed it was an exciting system, that was someone else

You're playing the exact same shape we did/do.
2 CMs, a central striker, then 2 "attacking midfielders"/"wingers" supporting him/defending wide.
St Mirren have tried it this season and already moved away from it, as you end up with an open midfield and an isolated striker once opponents understand where the spaces are and you've to drop deeper and narrower to prevent it.
It's been different things at different times. Sometimes 3-5-2, sometimes a 343 and sometimes closer to a 3 4 2 1 but whatever system you play at any level has strengths and weaknesses and has to suit the players you've got. A 343 doesn't suit Scotland
I don't see anyone really overrunning Devlin and Beni though, and we've got Haring if we need a more robust 3.

Its really not, once its figured out.
Presumably Hearts fans are all giddy about it because you've won a couple of games playing it, but it won't be long until your midfield is getting over run and a massive gap in front of your CBs is getting exploited. Scotland don't have the midfielders to play it.
We're not really playing a 343.
I certainly wouldn't for Scotland with the wide players we've got.

What exactly is Gemmill's remit?
We don't get results, play decent football or improve any players at that level.

Ashby looks good. Pity about the other 10

No thanks. Games are long enough without microanalysis of offside decisions in minus 3 degrees horizontal sleet.

Provided Robbie doesn't absolutely bottle it like he did at Celtic Park in the LC, then I fancy us quite strongly to get something

Does it frustrate that you have to decide the away allocation on how many home fans might want to turn up?
Personally I like having away fans there, as it makes for a better atmosphere and occasion, so not really.

Agree that we're at it here, I wonder if teams will do the same to us in the next round of games?
A few hundred away fans in 51,000 capacity stadium shouldn't be an issue.
Rangers will, probably rightly, be gambling that teams want the guaranteed cash from away fans. If Hearts or Hibs are still near the top come the next games they might well at least cut Rangers allocation if there's enough appetite from the home fans.

I suppose they are being moved for the nonsense red zones rather than opposition fans. If rangers turned round and said we only have 48k seats and 48k season ticket holders I'd say fair enough. It's not the case though and they seem to be trying to go tit for tat with the other lot.
They've got 45000 St holders age an away 'end' that holds about 800, so exactly, even with Red zones they are at it.

I don't think the Lundstram one is a red but it's probably a yellow cause he jumps in. You can't see if the studs are up but it didn't look like it, and it's definitely not two footed like the Hayes one was.

I've no seen the Lundstram tackle, is there footage?

The main thing was to try and gauge capacity to do it for real, so they were aiming for about 20% checked.
Seemed to not be checking anyone closer to kick-off though, and the big test will be when one of the anti-vaxxer Sturgeon out crowd is told they can't get in.

Ryan Porteous, “a reckless thug” or whatever you like to call him has had a grand total of 2 red cards in his career in the SPFL in 78 appearances.
By ways of comparison Ryan Jack has had 7 in 279 games, Danny Swanson had 6 in 212 games, Martin Canning had 6 in 129 games, Barry Robson had 7 in 200 games, Eggert Jonsson had 4 in 134 games, Sol Bamba 3 in 98 games.
Are they all reckless thugs aswell?
If Porteous’ reds hadn’t both been televised and had a few Rangers fans tweeting Nicola Sturgeon asking for her to condemn the tackle then his reputation would be completely different.
Red today was totally based off reputation, it was a lunge, aye but he didn’t fucking touch Aribo, he’d also have got sent off if he started boxing him, but I’ve never seen a red card for someone boxing fresh air.
Folk that don’t watch him every week claim he’s shite but he’s just getting better and better, tough one to take for him today but I look forward to having him back in the team, he’s a smashing player.
He's also had a straight red in a league Cup game, well over 30 bookings and regularly flies into tackles like that, including for the Scotland u21 team.
There's nowt to achieve with that tackle, even if you want to wrongly argue that the contact he makes is relevant to the recklessness of the tackles.
And at least a few of those players you mention certainly did have a reputation as hot-headed

What's this 'there wasn't much in it' patter?
2 nil at half time absolutely flattered Motherwell. We were by far the better team
