Ralston lost his man and every time he gets into an attacking position, he completely fucks the cross

At least he’s getting in a position to cross and been somewhat positive. What has our best left back in the world captain contributed so far? f**k all

Ireland, in 12 previous matches in the Nations League, had scored only 2 goals (none at home) and had won zero games.

In the entire history of games between the sides, Ireland have only ever once, before today, scored more than 1 goal.

He has only ever been there because of who he plays for.

I don't watch EFL but his team mates must be making him look good, for him to get the plaudits he does. Absolute charlatan for Scotland 

This is utter pish. Robertson's been as bad as the rest of the team today but he's generally good for Scotland.

This is worse than the Ukraine game. They are fucking dreadful and yet we’re reverting to long ball nonsense.

They haven’t won a competitive home game in 3 years and we’re just beaten by one of the worst teams we’ve ever seen at Hampden. It’s unreal.

Change to back four requires second half. Extra midfielder. Adams off for Stewart.

Did I hear the commentary right, only team with a worse Nations League record before tonight than Ireland were San Marino.

Hendry - tactically inept and wasteful passing giving possession away.

Robertson - never know he was a 15 EFL assist/goal machine, outrageously negative without any reason to be

McGinn - boy needs a rest and a roadmap to what a goalmouth looks like.

As much of a shithsow as you'd care to witness.

Un-be-fucking-leav-able

the Irish pressing game had Scotland struggling from the off. You knew within 5 mins we were not going to be able to get hold of the ball, yet here we are at half time with nothing done to address it and two goals down. Yes, unfortunate that McGinn didn't equalise but you can't say the scoreline isn't merited. Shocking on so many levels.

Course they do. He plays beside VVD. He has a midfield that dominate teams and allow him to get forward whenever he wants. He totally benefits from that as does TAA. Neither are good defenders

Has Robertson ever taken a fucking man on? Two games on the trot now looking like an inferior attacking option to Ralston, and that's hardly through Ralston being spectacular. 

Robertson has been shite - no doubt - but taking men on has never been his game. He gets in behind with quick passing and then delivers great balls.

For Liverpool anyway.

His problem here is his starting position which at times is almost behind McKenna and his statue impression when he gets the ball as he looks for a pass.

He looks scared of being positive.

Could've been different if McGinn had taken one of his very good chances, but defensively, as a team, it's been woeful.

There's a problem when you look through the team and they've all been poor - and Clarke can't just keep using the same excuse that the players have been rubbish. The usual weaknesses are there, just like last week it's so easy to create chances against us. 

I was surprised by the lineup. I thought Hendry would have been the defender most likely to lose his place in the team, and it's looking like a mistake to keep him in. Ralston had been good going forward but absent at the back, and the second goal was a nightmare between those two.
