Scotland game

[Hattie]

Yes Scottish television is showing the game... the England game!
well done to the Scottish pm at the time, the labour PM Gordon Brown insisting the england games should be free to vuew on terrestrial channels!
Even BBC Scotland show us England games but nit Scotland!
Its such a great union we are in that even out terrestrial channels, including our paid for national tv station pay fir england games and not ours.
Im so glad we are in the union

Not sure his selection says more about JH or those competing with him.
He was a bombscare with Celtic

Much as I share your frustration, this is not right.

England games are in category B which means they can be shown on pay tv as long as highlights are shown free to air.

ITV paid the money to show the England games live.

The SFA takes skys money to show the Scotland games because it is a better deal for them.

Basically BBC Scotland (being a national broadcaster) should match Skys offer (not a chance STV have the money)

I'm actually quite enjoying the game.
Flashes of good football from both sides.

Winnable game for sure.
No convinced by Dykes so much though, I liked him in previous games though.

 

[Hammi]

What a chance there.
Dunno what their keeper was playing at

 

[brianmc]

I gave up on the game after 7 minutes of dire attempts at football.

I kinda knew it'd be shit when from kick off we tried the old 'blooter it up the line into touch' tactic.

I hope we win, but fuck sitting through 90 minutes of that shite.

Ive thought Dykes has been our stand out player!

Chasing them down, pressuring and forcing mistakes and defenders just to boot the ball aimlessly.

Me too, 2 evenly matched teams.

English internationals are bad enough but what about the random league game and even worse the really random early rounds of the English Cup? Village A Vs Village B, neither of which anyone but a football anorak will have ever heard of?

Ridiculous.

 

[Hammi]

Marshall has to do better there? Not good enough at the first shot. And his flap just moments earlier.

Shame, 1 nil down.

 

[Plasticman]

Deffo pen - why not given I dont know

the ref has been poor.

 

[Hammi]

Yassss

What a ball!!

Solid header too, good goal.
1-1

 

[Greenmachine]

Scotland actually scoring a goal in open play is such a rare event these days...let's hope we can get a goal from somewhere though.

Couldn't have timed it better !

 

[Cabbageman]

Is it still 5 subs or back to just the 3?

 

[Hammi]

Noooooo

That was a pretty good header too though

 

[Plasticman]

What a fucking goal

 

[rude_boy]

SJM ️

 

[Canon Hannan]

What a goal SJM

 

[Hammi]

John McGinn you fuckin' legend!!

 

[davhfc]

super john mcginn, fucking beauty

 

[Hammi]

The man crush that just won't go away.

Onside too, no controversy there!

 

[1875]

Super John, I love you son!

 

[Plasticman]

Good game that - specially 2nd half

 

[Hibee Kev]

SJM - a colossus of a player for Scotland!

 

[tricky]

SJM I love you

Decent game

 

[moathibby]

Haven't seen it, saw the goals on the News,a draw against a country I've heard of.Not too shabby.

He isn’t half! He’s become a real talisman for Scotland.

 

[Greenmachine]

I always believe you have to win your home matches if you are going to qualify for a major tournament, and IMO Scotland will struggle to make it to Qatar 2022.

Our big problem remains the lack of a reliable goalscorer at that level and substandard defenders.

That being said it was a creditable result against a very good team. Coming back twice shows great resilience and it was a super goal from Super John McGinn.

 

[southfieldhibby]

Enjoyed the game last night, Austria are a decent team, Alaba seemed to be everywhere for them!

top 4 in the group will all take points off each other at home I think, expect it to come down to us, Denmark and Austria for the top 2 places.

Maybe the southampton guy can be the goalscorer we need to play beside Dykes, who I like.

 

[tayside hibee]

Encouraging signs of continued improvement from Scotland.
It is a shame that our best goal scorer can't get near the squad, he really needs to come home and enjoy his football again.

 

[cleanyman]

Thought the referee was minging last night

The SFA are to blame because they preferred a deal with SKY.

He's rubbish for club and country. My pal Dale is an avid QPR fan and he can't wait for them to get rid of Dykes.

Our defence was poor for their second goal. When the boy got the ball just outside our box he could have sketched out a diagram of what he intended before crossing the ball such was the room he was given.

Lyndon Dykes isn't the answer up front regardless of what the question is.

 

[Doc Shrink]

I didn't see why Jack Hendry got a move to the Smellies, I thought Dundee was about his level.
But he wasn't as bad as I thought he may be last night. Not great, but not awful.

But as the Smellies also thought Shane Duffy is a player then maybe I'm not that bad a judge.

SJM - a colossus of a player for Scotland!

2.75 M or whatever it was ( and the Celtic offensive offer that I believe resulted in BR leaving and blowing there 10 in a row bollocks )- a pal of mine season ticket holder at villa and from first season he arrived he saying best signing they made in 10 or more years - and a decent head in shoulder type as well )
Scotland have some good players at the mo none better in my opinion than him
