ribzanelli Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 What’s the point in going to the World Cup anyway if we are going to put in performances like that and embarrass ourselves on the world stage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 It's a bold call to put someone who is utter dogshit at penalties on spot kick duty. Let's see if it pays off for them Cotton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Dykes has benefitted for the longest time in a Scotland shirt by virtue of not being Oli McBurnie. He's fucking hopeless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Same old rubbish from Steve Clark’s Scotland really. We’re getting dominated by Israel in our own back yard and can have no complaints about the scoreline. They don’t have better players than us but they’re better organised and better coached. They’ve came here with a plan and they’re doing a job on us.I can see why Clarke has plumped for Paterson over SOD. The reality is neither of them is good enough for this level. SOD more solid defensively and Paterson offers more going forward. Similar with the McTominay over Cooper/McKenna. The latter two are stoppers, the former is a midfielder who should offer us more going forward.We are at home to a team below us in the rankings and we need to be winning. So he goes with the more attacking players, reasonable thinking really.The problem is we can’t retain any kind of possession in midfield - Gilmour and McGregor have been poor - and as a result Paterson’s and McTominay’s defensive frailties are being badly exposed. Both goals came from there and there could have been at least one moreCould have got away with it and got in level thanks to a bit of quality from McGinn, but Dykes messed it up. Draw is not enough here. We need to win. Huge 45 minutes required. Looking at the bench for inspiration and there’s not much there you feel could come on and turn the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 As many have said, a joke that Dykes was elected for that after his jammy one last time. I said to the Mrs as soon as we won it that hopefully it's given to someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Patterson's absolutely miles out of his depth, McGregor might as well be sat at home and Dykes is just Dykes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’m fucking done with this nonsense of playing McTominay in a back 3. Ridiculous foul to give away for the 2nd goal albeit we need to defend the free kick better. Patterson has looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights for most of the match. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 2 minutes ago, Ya Bezzer! said: Hitting it down the middle is what shit bag players do so they don't miss the target. 2 minutes ago, Distant Doonhamer said: No it’s not harsh. A fucking dreadful decision by Dykes. We should be thankful that his pish penalty in Austria somehow crept in. Even if he’s insistent on going down the middle, put it up the top ffs. Even if the keeper dives there it’s low enough that he might get a trailing leg to it. McSauce or McGregor both would have been far better options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 This has been like 50+ years of supporting Scotland - highs, lows, hopes and frustrations - concentrated in to 45 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Didn't even have the technique or bottle to pick a corner. He should already be launched onto the coach home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
