He reminds me of Dirk Kuyt This, this, multiplied by infinity this. I don't care if this feels like an overreaction or getting carried away, but by Christ, for a man who had to battle back after being laid low by pneumonia (which could have caused all sorts of complications), to have still been chasing and harrying after 80-odd minutes, and to show the sort of anticipation and awareness he had to pounce on the mistake and score, guy's a fucking legend in my eyes. He may not at times be an aesthetically pleasing striker, but like Kenny Miller before him the amount of hard work and effort he puts in when wearing the Scotland shirt, I'd never have him out the team frankly. Sometimes having someone like that, who will willingly do all the donkey work even in the sort of conditions we saw tonight, I think he epitomises the kind of work ethic and spirit Steve Clarke has brought into this side. No doubts, we'd have lost that in games gone before (think back to when we played Macedonia in similar conditions under Burley). There's just something about this squad right now and after years of some mind-numbing awfulness, to be feeling so optimistic, even after just three games of a qualifying campaign, feels pretty darn good right now. Still feel the penalty they got was incredibly soft, don't think Porteous did a huge amount wrong, I thought he was just standing his ground, although apparently there's an angle that shows he stuck a foot out to stop him. Referee was atrocious, and also inconsistent with the cards - Tierney booked for dissent yet Odegaard had a proper hissy fit and gets away with it, dreadful... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I could easily look it up, but competitively wasn't it Ukraine in the long delayed WC play-off? I think we'd have won that when originally scheduled if it hadn't been for Putin. Don't know if we'd have beaten Wales, we probably wouldn't have done any better than they did in the WC but I think we have improved since then. Think we lost to Turkey in a friendly recently (obviously could look it up, but ill-informed pub type chat is more fun). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now rare and I'm unsure when it last happened. Yeah I’d definitely agree. Georgia should have been battered by Norway. How Norway have a single point is incredible given they’ve been the better team in all 3 games. Georgia’s recent results are massaged by being in both a very weak WC Qualifying group, and a terrible UNL Group C. I expect them to be more organised and better than Cyprus/Armenia, but not levels above that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had put £5 on a draw at 7-1 with 15 mins to go. My pal texts me to say we have scored. I go in to skybet to cash out and it is suspended as we had just scored 2nd by then Fantastic result. Most unexpected after 80 mins of mediocrity. Well done the Manager and players again 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The last group qualifier we lost was Denmark in 2021. Before that, it was Russia in 2019. I don’t think we realise just how good we’ve been in qualifying groups. Tonight makes it 1 loss in 16 games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think this is just the start for him again, its easy to forget how young he actually is. Think next season with mcallister away and maybe caciedo could be a massive one for him. I wouldn't be surprised by the end of next season hes being courted by bigger clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
