    Murray’s in-game management deserves a lot of credit, I feel that’s still an area where Doolan could do with improving on at times.

    I take it Bannigan was properly unavailable to come on unless needs must tonight because the game was crying out for him at HT imo, given we couldn’t string a pass together for about 40 minutes. Feel Doolan still left the first round of subs a bit late, but understand that given we’d really got into a flow and were on top he probably didn’t want to disrupt that.

    Don't disagree with the praise of Murray (and that Doolan could work on this) but Murray has considerably more to work with than Doolan off the bench. Our subs were hopeless when they came on. Raith third was top class from Smith, need a bit more nous though for the fourth, that's why you kick the ball away.

    Thanks. I guess not a massive surprise that the middle one goes first. It's the one where most people are definitely in Germany. I fully expect Hungary to sell out tonight or tomorrow, thereby confirming that barring any "lottery win" on the general sale tickets, I'm not going to either. It does make the decision easier to make if I get a chance of Cat 1 for Germany though..........

    Hungary not sold out yet (I thought it would have) and still Cat 1 and 2 for Germany. 

  3. Going through all the events mentioned in the OP only makes you interesting if people are interested. Everything Livi have gone through nobody outside the club ever cared. Rangers probably do have a strong claim given their ongoing penchant for disaster, but my choice would be Hearts - good sized club, ups and downs, good location, good rivalry, great stadium, all sorts of shenanigans over the years. 

  4. Whoever we got out of pot 1 was largely an irrelevance, take a good team and they'll gub everyone in the group, a poor team is vulnerable to everyone in the group. I think Hungary are the toughest or second toughest pot 2 side and Switzerland the second toughest pot 4 side, I think in any other group we'd be favourites for third at least but not in this one.

    Seems we'll have a fight on our hands to qualify from whatever group we get - even as one of the 4 best third place teams. All other things being equal im expecting we'll have to be close to our max performance levels for at least two of the games, maybe three.

    I don't see why. We're better than everyone in pot 4 right now bar Italy. We're better than most teams in pot 2. In almost all draw permutations this Scotland team should be making R16.

    Have friendlies been counted in the totals? Caps have only recently (last couple of decades) counted for friendlies and they definitely weren't in Dalgleesh's (up ye MT 😂) and Law's career. I'm wondering if their goals were too.

    Dalglish's totals did include friendlies (including the Maradona match at Hampden in 79). Not sure if/when friendlies didn't count for international caps, would be interested to know, paging @craigkillie
