Hope the Georgian players don’t break any bones walking back in to the changing room after that. Their bodies must be in absolute tatters after all those scything knocks.  

Really diaappointed we didnt send Ralston, a guy who'll be nowhere the Euros, to go two foot one of them at the end.

Some poor goalkeeping on display tonight from both sides.

I'm not too arsed we didn't win as it doesn't really matter but it is pleasing that we didn't lose and the players dug in and kept going.

Really does highlight how shallow we are in certain positions, though, especially at GK.

Thankfully Gunn is only 27 but it's a position we've not been as weak in for some time.

We were far from brilliant, but their shithousery was straight from the amateur league. The referee bought most of it though. So it does feel good getting the draw so late. 

The worst of it is, they were causing us problems when they went for it. After each goal they scored, they sat back and played for time. More fool them, as they could probably have beat us comfortably if they continued to attack. Get it up them.

Not surprised they shit housed the game after what happened at Hampden. Only reason it went back on was because we scored a farce of a goal just before they pulled the players off the swimming pool. Doesn't look like whatever pool we end up in will bring much advantage for the group draw anyway.

Given we probably all had this one down as the match we feared heading into the qualifiers (especially if we needed to take anything from the closing couple of games) a point isn't bad, but the performance won't live long in the memory.  There was just little fluency in the play (probably not helped by some of the disrupting tactics Georgia employed) while at both ends we were very very poor.

Pleased for Lawrence Shankland to get the goal, surprised it took so long to bring him on, it was apparent for long periods that Dykes was well off it.   For the Norway that part of the field needs a refresh, would be starting Ferguson as support as I thought he did well for the 45 minutes.  Do we change the keeper as well (Clark gave me the fear every time he was relied on to make a save, although he was not helped by the lack of support from his defence - Patterson badly at fault for the second although Clark should have done better with the attempt at a save).

Georgian tactics were ridiculous, enabled somewhat by a weak referee.  Inconsistent with his cards (Kvartaskhelia should have walked had the referee booked him earlier in the game, while the pony-tailed lad should have seen a second yellow for feigning injury in the incident where he saw yellow for the awful challenge).

Norway at home maybe gives us a chance to freshen things up a bit, give players desperate to lay a claim to be in the squad an opportunity, especially now as we aren't topping the group.
