Monkey Tennis Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Am I right in saying that was Dalglish's final goal for Scotland? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always qualified for the World Cup, but never got past the groups. We also never made the Euros in the days before anyone called them the Euros. I've a feeling Croatia have achieved a bit more than that in their brief footballing history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't meaning he was a Dundee hero although, what a player, and he was definitely a personal hero growing up. Just a genuine hero of a character in the game. I take it you wouldn't define Goran Stanic or Jason Scotland as St Johnstone heroes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just back in. It wasn’t the most interesting game and we were much too slow at playing it about, the grass looked heavy as f**k as well, didn’t look like the ball was running well. Saying that, we never felt like we were in much danger of conceding, had almost total control of the game and came away with 3 goals. Not complaining at that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players were slipping quite frequently. Most noticable obviously being Gunn when he got off with one, but it was happening quite a bit almost as if the ball was sticking at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 It seemed like nothing really happened in the game yet we've won by three goals. Just a meh game that won't be remembered and I'm fine with that. Was there with two nieces and a nephew who all enjoyed themselves so hopefully they'll be hooked. I'm up for them having a bit of misery in their lives like their dads and I. When I was in the queue for the train at Central, I saw Ian Blackford of the snp making his way to join the back. He obviously follows the David Beckham attitude to queuing rather than the Phil and Holly one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just back from Hampden so haven't seen any highlights. As others have said it was an unfussy but decent performance from Scotland. All three goals in my mind were really good and all good finishes. You couldn't really pick out a man of the match and my only real gripe was Jack, who I thought was awful, everyone else a decent performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them deserved the jersey. Neither Clark nor Kelly are anywhere near international standard. Thank goodness Stevie Clarke has found Angus Gunn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them deserved the jersey. Did they? Kelly's been quite pish as of late for Motherwell and Clark might feel slightly aggrieved, but he was in the media last week saying his aim was just to make the squad and that, 'As I said, we will have a week of training to show the manager and Chris Woods, the goalkeeper coach, who will be looking at what we can bring to the table. It is up to myself, Angus and Liam to prove that one of us is ready to step in and do that job that Craigy, Greegsy and Marsh have filled for the past 15 years.' One cap doesn't mean the battle is over. Gunn could very easily have an absolute serious nightmare against Spain and it'll be Clark's to lose at that point.* *But hopefully Gordon will be back by then because Clark is nowhere near the required level.
