AUcal Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 That was totally pathetic from start to finish. Serious questions needing asked. A shameful performance. No teamgeebee is fucking incredible. Mon the Dutch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I don't believe for a second that there was anything underhand going on last night, but almost as bad as that will be the perception throughout the women's international game. Anyone watching a recording will see just how bad some of these goals were, and whilst that scoreline would have been embarrassing enough in itself, the fact that there was another outcome riding on it was even worse. It's a good job that Holland got over the line in the end up because the media inquest may have been quite something had they not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only have we been humiliated on the pitch, there will be a persistent suspicion about just why we were so bad. Puzzled at why Docherty was wheeled out to speak to the press. Corsie is the captain. She should have been asked, 'You call that not lying down?' There is a lot of reflection, rebuilding and restoration to be done. 4 years ago SWNT were the feelgood story in Scottish football. How far they've fallen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM82 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 TBH the players have been far too exercised about trivial stuff that shouldn't concern them, e.g. how tickets at Hampden are sold. The whole thing needs a total reset. Starting with a new coach - get in someone who has done a good job with a similar NT (that worked before when they got Signeul) - and take the games out of Hampden until they can consistently attract >15,000 crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I see the SFA are going ahead with the usual auction of match jerseys from last night. I suspect they won't be getting exactly Sotheby's prices this time around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 England fans are crying on Twitter that Belgium letting in 2 goals in stoppage time was a fix. Even when ignoring the discussion on whether or not Scotland did this deliberately last night (I'm not getting involved in that discussion btw as I was watching the Dutch match), if there is one country that would NOT want to co-operate with us knocking Team GB out, it would be Belgium. They were time wasting at 2-0 down, cleared balls from the goal line, got close to pulling a goal back in stoppage time and so on. I'll file this under "sour grapes" from the England fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Marten - I think you can be secure that Scotland lost because we were rubbish, not corrupt. The problem is we were rubbish to an extent that it looks like corruption. I am not surprised that England fans are whining. They are poor losers and poor winners. But if they are crying, that is good, and just another thing for which we must thank your fine Netherlands women's team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiegman (assuming she'll manage the team), can then call up Scottish players. Not saying that meant Scotland were corrupt (as said, I'm not judging that), but that argument various people used against some of the Scottish players won't work with the Belgians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassie Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) In summary: Scotland's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory trumps England's god given right to qualify for all tournament football.

Thanks, it's piss poor fixture planning from UEFA first and foremost. If they would just have swapped match days 4 and 6 for example, so we were playing Scotland at Hampden last night instead, we'd never have had that discussion in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM82 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Pedro will be relieved that the SSC have put up an even more incompetent performance today than his team did last night. Edited December 6, 2023 by JamesM82 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Just got round to watching the "highlights". Grim. Lee Gibson has been woeful for years now, half the defence are mince. The rest of the sqaud varying shades of meh/under performing. Pedro has been a piss poor appointment. Also had no idea until last night that the Hearts womens manager was involved in the backroom setup. When did that happen?!
