Dindeleux Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Can jagfox ever just enjoy his evening without posting absolute shite on the internet? It's pretty sad really. Put the phone away ya clown. Posting pictures of his drinks for the second time this month.What a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Dougal McGuire Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I think with Forrest he does good things that it's sometimes hard to notice. If I was playing in defence for Slovenia he would be the guy that would worry me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Anyone that thinks brown was shite tonight doesn't deserve to enjoy football. He added some much needed fight and drive early on and generally protected the defence. Aye he throws in a wobbler now and then but that's to be expected. And can I just say that posts referring to the sex appeal of Robertson and Armstrong have my full backing. The pair of them were immense. f**k everyone who has 'mixed feelings'. That was a very good performance, and a great win. Bring on them lot next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Is it curmudgeonly to have mixed feelings about the result or is it myopic to celebrate it wildly? I don't know. I've been on a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions about it since the final whistle. Great that it at least means the England game is not a dead rubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Not long back from the game. Delighted by that victory, though it was getting a bit desperate in the second half. Tierney and Robertson were excellent. Provide real drive and don't seem to be overawed like so many of their team mates. Armstrong incredibly comfortable at this level. What a way to make your mark as debutant. Very impressive. Snodgrass had another poor game by his standards. Definitely better than Wednesday, but given how miserable he was against Canada, that's not exactly a compliment. Anya was a definite improvement when he came on. Centre halves weren't complete bomb scares, but the two of them genuinely don't know what to do when they get near the halfway line. There seems to be precisely zero plan at that point. I thought Cairney was a more willing runner to take the ball off them on Wednesday, so perhaps an option. Griffiths showed why he 'can' hold up the ball. Won a few headers and won a foul or two. Will be gutted with his first miss, but the team didn't recover from him going off. Naismith was a really strange sub as we then ended up with no strikers in a must-win game... Martin was diabolical on Wednesday night. He genuinely did nothing and seemed to be actively looking to break up attacks. Happy the guy got the goal but the whole stadium was raging with Strachan's decision. Take it from me, those who booed were irate with the decision, not the player. TL;DR - Positive - Tierney, Robertson, Armstrong. Victory, a better performance, clean sheet, and a manager willing to look at other options. Negatives - lucky, poor subs that took too long. Still plan-less as an attaching threat. Martin and Forrest are not the answers. Snodgrass not currently cutting it. And seriously, why did we play that experimental out-of-form team against Canada? Today's squad would have absolutely mullered them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 If we win all the games apart from the England game we should finish second This is the thing that makes me sigh. We were a few minutes from being out with 5 points from 5 games. It's really really difficult to see us winning two games in a row let alone 5 of the last 6.

skippy2015 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Fair dos. I've always defended Forrest but I lost patience with him tonight. Reasonable point tho that Snodgrass was at least as inneffective if not more Great result tonight best we have played for ages. Tierney and Robertson great going forward and can't remember anyone coming close to beating them. Was a joke when Martin got booed coming on probably the same people who were on here wanting Scotland to lose tonight. A side point but went to both Canada and game tonight does anyone else think Snodgrass (who I highly rate has been good for Scotland over the years) looks really unfit?

Diamonds are Forever Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Forrest played well tonight, as he did against England, he could play like Messi and still get abuse from Scotland fans. People only see what they want to see, they've made their mind up that Forrest is useless and post it after every game regardless of his performances. Snodgrass was poor and has been for the last few matches yet will get no criticism, Griffiths almost cost us the game with his dreadful finishing yet gets no criticism. Having an objective opinion seems beyond most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR #1 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Decent performance tonight but let's be honest Slovenia are pish and we should be winning that. The two full backs are class and Armstrong was excellent. Fans should be utterly ashamed of themselves for booing Martin though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he's always been slow and cumbersome, but made up for it with strength and ability to shield the ball. But for the last week while he has been all the former and little of the latter.

skippy2015 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Actually thought that apart from the last 10 mins brown had a good game tonight. He won numerous tackles and covered every blade of grass on the pitch. Armstrong rightly getting the plaudits but thought brown won a lot of important tackles and covered the back 4 well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slovakia and Lithuania were both awful, but we allowed them to dominate the games. If we approach every game like we did today's, we'll win far more.

MarkoRaj Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Were you at the game? Naismith did very little. He's not a striker. The whole second half we struggled. Snodgrass was poor, again. His movement was slow and predictable, and his passing inaccurate. Took far too long to sub him. Anya the right player to come on. Martin scored a well taken, but deflected goal. Yes, we were lucky. Snodgrass set up 2 or 3 gilt edged chances in the first halfMartin scored and anya was great when he came on. Naismith caused problems and set up anya for a sitter.We weren't lucky in the slightest. You could actually argue we were unlucky given the fact we hit the woodwork twice and dominated possession and chancesThe goal wasn't even deflected.
