Awful stuff but the 3 points is all that matters.

 

Play like that though at a world cup and we'll get thumped. Need 3 centre backs to come through before Qatar 🤞🤞

Result all that matters.

Wasn't impressed with their rolling about and pretending to be injured with pretty much half of the game remaining.

That'll do. Austria will beat Israel, so Scotland guaranteed a play off. Just need to be seeded by beating Moldova.

Austria are shite. I don't expect them to win, neither do the Austrians.

Need to remember that Denmark, who've won 8 out of 8 and have a goal difference of +27 only won 1-0 there.

Yep, Nesbit up front for that one oh shite. Can we call any other players up? Get Naisy out of retirement maybe ?

Would just prefer us to go out and smash Moldova to leave it in absolutely no doubt, just for once! :lol:

True but that 1st half performance was abysmal.

 

Gordon kept us in it with that save and oh, thanks to the Faroes player for the assist.

Or the one that took Italy to extra time a few months ago?  Hopefully the latter.

Why? He’s paying in League 1 and never in a million years an international striker.

Austria are through via the Nation's league and are one of the teams we can draw. If we qualify.

WTF happened in the Albania v Poland match?  Into the 22nd minute of injury time?  Is that a record?


Game held up for fans fighting

Awful first half, again.

Improvement(slight) in the second half.

Lyndon Dykes in the right place at the right time, as was Craig Gordon in the first half.

The one big plus in this Scotland squad is that they now keep going and don't give in.

I will take another 1-0 win over Moldova again.

Another point of note. The Moldova game will at least be played on grass.

Crowd started lobbing stuff. Including at Lewandowski when he asked them to stop.

True but a better option than Paterson if we’re talking about playing up front.  Neither should be anywhere near an international squad though.

We need to stop shoe Horning Robertson and Tierney into the team, they get away with shite games cause they know they are guaranteed starters.


Nonsense.

Thought a 1-0 win in Moldova gets us second place?

As a one off. I would bring in Tony Watt for the Moldova game, I think he will give the Moldovian defence more to worry about than either Adams or Nisbet.

I does. I think he means if they win, and we win.

 

We've Denmark at a full Hampden. We'll win that.

Yup, I agree.

 

Tony Watt to most is a crazy selection but he provides something different as an attacking midfielder.

Astroturf should be a no no at international level. And i must admit, the Faroe islands have improved, a lot .

Gilmour and Patterson set up the goal. Small mercies.

No excuses but fair play to the Faroes, they were well organised and defended well. They play such a passive low block that we had to create the movement and energy between their lines but we couldn't muster it. Anything long and in behind on that pitch will bounce out of play as well. It was always going to be tough but we weren't near good enough, especially when we had a chance to counter, we never moved the ball quick enough. 

That said, we never gave up despite the frustration and second half we kept the pressure on and got the goal in the end. We're still on the right tracks, it's just a shame the WC is in a backwards sandy shitehole.
