hellbhoy Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 That's a bit shite booing mcgeady ^^^ The fanny was lucky he wasn't within mobile phone throwing distance from me. You either wanted Scotland to win or Ireland Seymour, which one was it ?, McGeady got the boo treatment all through the game and it worked, he had a shit game and we won, so job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I hated O'Neil's style of play at Celtic, big guy upfront, big defenders, couple of wingers and lots of physical play. Thought we out thought them and I don't blame Mulgrew for making the most of some challenges to win clever free kicks. Their reaction to it was horrendous and the ref was a bit lenient at times. Fortunate for us too with the Hanley incidents. Up until now I doubted if we had the real fight, bottle and belief to qualify but reckon with this bunch of players and Gordon we have a real chance. Delighted to have been proved wrong and think we have a chance of beating Poland at home and Ireland away which would probably be enough to see us through. Slight concern about bigger players bullying us like Walters did today, could do with finding another strong centre half and a target man for games like tonight as I feel Naismith and Fletcher are quite similar in stature but that's just being greedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Anyone able to show us some of these Twitter meltdowns? I love a good meltdown but don't have Twitter, although I contemplated joining just to give a family sized GIRFUY to George Galloway from one Irish descent Scot to another. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm warming to Mark McGhee. That smug grin is a work of art. Boy's got comic talent, no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I don't understand half the shit posters on here come up with but if they focussed as much energy on doing well at work etc than they did trying to win an argument then they would be better off. Often ashamed to be Scottish then realise it's only the token knob or two and this site has more than a fair share. Good point, well made! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not the case that Hanley's yellow wasn't a red card offence because Shane Long was never going to get to the ball anyway? If it'd given it a wee tap past Hanley he'd have surely been off I would've thought? Personally I think Steven Fletcher gets far too hard a time on here. Yeah he never scores for Scotland but I'd keep playing him even if he never scored, quite a few times tonight he put one of the wide players in behind quite effectively. Really the only two players in that line up who I don't like the idea of them playing are Hanley and Whittaker. Before the game I'd have possibly said Maloney isn't a great player these days but he's certainly had an effective campaign so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white stripes Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Good game to watch unlike most internationals, you could see the passion from both teams. Scotland deserved to win but unlike others i thought Naismith showed well, took responsibility and generally had a good game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Absolute scenes at Maloney's goal. Arms and legs flying everywhere. Robertson looks composed beyond his years, fully expect him to make a step up from hull at some point soon. Him and Anya's link up play is phenomenal. Felt confident with Marshall In the sticks as well. I will go with the belief that the media mentioning booing McGeady for his choice was significant, if such a big deal wasn't made I don't think he would've got it as tight. Bring on England this Tuesday, nothing to lose against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the game I'd have possibly said Maloney isn't a great player these days but he's certainly had an effective campaign so far. Hanley, first one could of been a harsh red. If it was the other way round we would have shouted for it. He punched the 'keeper, albeit maybe accidentally, at the corner too. Deffo two yellow cards even with a lenient ref. Also reckon Naismith probably elbowed O'Shea, he's got a track record of it and O'Shea doesn't seem like the type to cheat? I do like Fletcher but if I was being greedy would like to see us have three quality strikers because there's bound to be one game where they drop form or get injured but as said its just being a bit greedy. Can't remember the last time we had two guys playing and scoring in the EPL? Whittaker isn't a great defender tbh and this was demonstrated when he tried to beat someone on the byeline. Hanley is ok but needs a leader beside him and I don't think we have that, similar to the strikers. Not much depth that I can think of. Hope we stay injury free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xNicola_Ghirl1888x Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Ireland were shite, no denying that, but should've been a different game if Hanley got sent off early on like should've done. Even with Ireland being as shite as can be, Scotland didnae create anything & draw would've been fair if that stoppage time own goal goes in. Literally nae idea why Keano wasnae picked, lacked any kinda movement or spark up top without him. I would say look forward to the return game but its no till June. Belting. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 It was the one chance but was more difficult than it looked. On more than one occasion he kept possession down left side. Sorry you can't see it. Not every chance 12 yards out is a sitter! He failed to even test the keeper with it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Ireland were shite, no denying that, but should've been a different game if Hanley got sent off early on like should've done. How was it denying a goal scoring opportunity if Long's touch had booted it towards the keeper before Hanley;s legs even caught him? Or do you just think the foul was a red card tackle regardless of it being last man? I initially thought it was a red card too but the point about it not being a goal scoring opportunity is the key one. Credit to PnB's own SodjesSixteenIncher for pointing that one out to me at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long beats Hanley to the ball & would be through on goal if Hanley doesnae take him out. Red card every time usually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 You were watching a different game from me if you think Scotland didn't create anything. They didn't really in fairness. Lots of nice football but very few clear chances for a team who seemed to have more of the ball and more desire to actually try and win the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
