DA Baracus Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Some folk mentioned this earlier, but I like how there is no talk of excuses before games under Clarke. I recall before the Kazakhstan game that McLeish was banging on about the travel, the temperature, the time difference and the pitch. Every interview he would roll them all out. I reckon the players lost that game before they even went on the pitch, as all they heard was excuses; it was drilled in to them. We don't hear such stuff from Clarke. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 8 hours ago, SReplay said: The urgency from Adams to take the quick throw for the opener was class. Not bad for a guy who apparently couldn’t be arsed. Two “secondary” assists for him if you look at it in ice hockey terms. Impactful game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all my years of watching Scotland, that is still precisely what I expect to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Woke up today and remembered that we have 15 points out of 15 and are 2 points away from guaranteeing that we go to Germany. This positive Scotland scenario is going to take a while to get used to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-raising Lazarus Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The most comfortable away game in some time, time to get skyscanner on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 Che Adams might be our most underrated player at the moment. For a forward he's incredibly unselfish and a tireless worker. Involved indirectly but crucially in all three goals (I think he won the foul for the second) and does so much work off the ball. A lad who only qualified through his granny and who was hardly battering the door down to play for us but gives 100% and is always available. I bloody love him. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Finnerty Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Slightly amusing bit in McGinn's post-match where the interviewer mentions that Mctominay is now "the joint top goalscorer" (meaning across euro qualification) and Mcginn looks a bit surprised and says "Oh well, I hope he takes me over!" as if he thinks she's talking about total goals for Scotland (where JM still has a comfortable 10-goal lead at the moment).

I do hope the second half doesn't come back to bite us, could've racked up a few more for the goal difference v spain, but that's me being miserable. Also, skyscanner appears to be down, wonder why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to detract from your main point as I absolutely love Adams, but it was Gilmour fouled for the second and the third is actually Hickey that is involved (no idea what he's doing there but that's this Scotland team for you). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiebrakers if teams are equal on points are... - Head to head record between the teams - Goal difference in games between the teams - Most goals scored in games between the teams Then overall goal difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
