Gordopolis Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Actually it backs up what I was saying, Austria have no god given right to beat Scotland which was proven on the night just like Austria have no god given right to beat Israel and Scotland have no god given right to beat Austria or Israel. You can't predict in advance how the games will unfold and the teams are roughly speaking on a par. Hopefully you will remember that wee nugget in the future but with a result like we had in Vienna it should be eez-eh enough.Yes but, no but [insert something of little substance here] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobot Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 4 minutes ago, Donathan said: Adams and Dykes both seem to play better in a proper 2 up front system, rather than one of them playing alone supported by Christie or Fraser. I think if everyone is fit, the team going forward has to be: Gordon McTominay-Hanley-Tierney SOD-Gilmour-McGregor-McGinn-Robertson Dykes-Adams Hendry was excellent tonight and is growing into a decent player. McTominay has never fully convinced at CH in my opinion, and we are finally reaching a stage where our actual CHs are good enough to avoid the need to shoehorn him in there. I think MacGregor / Gilmour should be the basis of our midfield, as shown tonight and at Wembley. It will be interesting to see how we fit Jack and McTominay into that equation (not to mention Turnbull / Gauld pushing McGinn) but I suppose it is a nice problem to have good players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were only comfortable because Austria didn't have a striker that could do anything proper with those gorgeous crosses that were being slung in regularly from the left and because VAR for whatever reason ignored O'Donnell's clothes line on baumgartner. I choose to believe that Clarke knew the former and said "let them cross" The second, we got lucky. And Austria can f**k off with thinking they're better, that was an even contest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I've felt some of the Gilmour hype has been a bit OTT at times thus far. Tonight, however, I thought he was terrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Pleased Hendry has rammed it up the naysayers. No failures in the side tonight (obviously) but for me he was a clear man of the match. He's got to be first name in the defence in the future. A colossus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been since he was at Dundee. Third choice defender at best though and that’s not even a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basics of what I was saying is an away draw in Israel isn't a disaster, a home draw against Austria isn't a disaster and if we didn't win in Austria it also wouldn't have been a disaster. It's all there in black and white maybe go reread it? Have you given up saying that i'm raging?

Les Cabbage Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Oh bloody hell. Take your best orgasm and multiply the feeling by twenty and you’re still nowhere near even close. That’s just the type of game we never seem to get anything from, let alone get a win. We were imperious and although watching it with the emotion invested was hardly comfortable, I reckon if there were any neutrals tuned in they’d have thought Austria could still be playing now and not have scored, can only recall Gordon being tested once. Really liking the Gilmour, McGinn, McGregor trio and it has to be how we work going forward, all 3 were terrific with a special mention to McGregor who sometimes deservedly gets lots of slack and he was faultless tonight. Our defence though, Grant Hanley and Jack Hendry, both were superb, properly rock solid, it’s all already been said. Adams and Dykes is starting to work a bit better too, Dykes is limited but he doesn’t really need to play well to fit the role/system as long as he’s a pest which he was tonight and while the penalty was lucky as f**k he does the job. Hopefully all the weirdos desperate for Clarke to fail aren’t furious tonight, bring on the Israel game, grabbed 4 tickets in the East Stand just there, heading for a sell out and I honestly canny wait, what a day it’s gonna be, at least until 7:45 anyway. And hey, even Paul McGinn was pretty good when he came on. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
