Craig fae the Vale Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I don't think Pedro is working out as Scotland manager. Poor performances and baffling selection choices are it for me. If we make the World Cup through the playoffs I feel he'll be lauded, but I'd be punting him and getting someone else in before any serious damage is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Sitting up the other end at Hampden but that looked a howler of a challenge for the penalty. And Alexander could've been off there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Well it was better than 8 nil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Scotland 0-2 Spain. A spirited but ultimately fruitless performance. Created very little and Spain didn't really have to get out of second gear. Hopeless refereeing throughout as well. I'm still not convinced Pedro is the right fit for the job. His tactics are frequently all wrong and some of his personnel decisions are frankly bizarre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Just watched the last 20 minutes or so of the table topping Jamaica v Dominican Republic game on YouTube. 3-1 Jamaica when switched on and ended up 5-1 so Jamaica qualify for the next stage. Another table topping game on now between Mexico and Puerto Rico, win or a draw sees Mexico through. ETA: Joint hosts Australia and New Zealand met in a friendly last night in Canberra with Australia winning 3-1. That was also the HT score, Sam Kerr scored twice, crowd 13,077. Last Thursday they met in Townsville with Australia winning 2-1 with goals in 94th and 97th minutes. Crowd 10,779.

Zipped through the game on Alba after getting back from Hampden, the offside decision against Martha Thomas was shocking. No qualms about the penalty though, Nicola Docherty is a decent full back but prone to crazy moments like that. Thought Erin Cuthbert was quite effective in her deeper role, possibly the future for her now Kim Little has retired? Spain were a class apart though, great technique and their decision making under pressure was so much better than ours.

101 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Kenny Shields coming across as a sexist idiot, failing to notice that there was no "emotional" response to his team conceding the first goal after 26 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 If it’s being emotional that makes you concede goals, Christ knows what his Morton squad were going through before the 10-2 game against Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Fucking mental stuff from Kenny Shiels. You’d think a male manager of a women’s team would be determined to break down these stereotypes and strongly advocate for women’s rights and equality. Of all the ridiculous, outdated stereotypes about women and women’s football, he’s picked one of the most batshit mental ones of the lot.

Richey Edwards Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Kenny Shiels has quite the track record for saying stupid things. That's a new level though. How can a manager of a women's football team say something so ridiculously sexist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Whether or not the statistics back up his claim or not is immaterial. Teams of all ages and genders concede back-to-back goals every single week in football. To analyse the game through the lens of gender is mental and so regressive. Have men’s teams ever been analysed specifically by their gender? Do you ever hear managers saying “they’re men so they’re more likely to get violent, it’s just their nature” after getting a couple of players sent off? There’s probably a mountain of research to confirm men are more violent, but it wouldn’t make a statement like that acceptable. Shiels would have been well within his rights to say his team didn’t compose themselves or concentrate enough after conceding, and that’s something his team need to work on, but to pin his 11 players’ reactions on the behaviours of an entire gender is horrifically sexist and tone deaf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Great start against Ukraine in Poland. 3-0 up after 20 minutes. Makes a big difference when you play with the right tactics 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) I do wonder how much the Ukraine women's team has been impacted by the war. Not sure what their preparation has been, but I doubt it was as thorough as the men's team. We're looking pretty dangerous any time we attack, and Ukraine are normally fairly competitive. Any win away from home would normally be a good result here. although, we've been 3-0 up against a team before...

Aye my apologies, it was just the stuùpid way they did the graphics, just listing the squad rather than line up and I just glanced at it. Sorry Lisa Edited June 24, 2022 by Thereisalight.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
