    There were plenty available if you were willing to pay. That was the same night England equalised late against Romania then conceded again even later, provoking incredible scenes in the Saint Etienne fanzone. And as well as that and buying the ticket I also bumped into Alloa legend Keith McCulloch in the fanzone. So aye, I did 😉

    You didn't buy it for 80 euro would be the guy's point I expect

    Ireland had a ( better )  defence !?

    We had Gough, McLeish, Miller, Hansen, Malpas and Nicol available and kept 6 clean sheets in 8 games.  I don't think our defence was a problem tbh

    McInally played about 50 minutes in the qualifying games. McCoist played about 90% of them and regularly up front with MoJo.

    It was completely mental that McCoist didn’t start.  Going into that tournament, at least 3 other strikers had started games before McInally. 

    Correct.  It was good enough to start McCoist and Johnston against France but somehow Costa Rica demanded a physical presence in McInally despite him being a big huddle.  

    Roxburgh had a lot to offer coaching and development wise but his Scotland teams were largely over cautios

    What is the script with Aaron Hickey? Don’t follow Italian football too closely but has he been out injured or missed a lot of football? Last I was aware he had been very impressive in his early games with Bologna so would’ve expected him to kick on and have been in Scotland squads. Certainly based on past performances his potential was huge and seemed like he’d be a nailed-on to make the Scotland squad ahead of a few guys that are in. 🤔

    Injured for the last couple of months and out for the season

  5. Don't agree with all the choices, when does anyone ever, but quite a bold squad.  Taylor being involved is still daft and Nisbet looked absolutely miles off it on his debut but decent all round.

    A pity for Gauld that be hasn't managed 5 goals against Hamilton and Dundee United

    Surely there have been more impressive performances than those? A 4-0 win against a team post-COVID who were exhausted by lack of training and having beaten you three days earlier. Then another 4-0 win against a completely makeshift defence and 10 men. Dizzy heights. 

    You've not paid much attention to our form this season I see

    You don't think Neilson might want to make the league win look convincing?

    Arguably the seeds of his destruction at Hearts with a lot of the support date back to the dead rubber at Easter Road in his first season with us.  Went there as champions and picked a bizarre line-up with two left backs and lost comfortably.

    His failure to treat the derby as a must win wasn't well received, even with a 20 point lead.

  8. Most of the quality of the Hearts away matches I watched was awful, but that's the BBC these days.

    'Jokes' aside, I paid for Morton, Arbroath, Brora, East Fife, Raith and bar Arbroath the quality was decent, particularly Raith and Morton.

    Would be good to see it continue, but only at a price that doesn't make it the default option for away fans
