tiger Rudi Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 21 hours ago, Fozzyonthefence said: Not sure what your issue with playing Hickey at RWB is? If he’s good enough to play there v AC Milan or Juventus surely he’s a better option than a bang average Motherwell player? Who else would you have played there? Agree with most of the rest of your post though. There was definitely a fair bit booing though, think it was just after the 2nd goal when we nearly lost another one as well as at halftime. Hickey has only played in that position about 3 or 4 times for his club, so I'm guessing they know his best position. This was also his first start for Scotland. It was a World Cup qualifier, winner takes all. Not a game for an experiment to see how it went. O'Donnell is certainly not everybody's choice but would have given more than Hickey showed. Hickey certainly looked bog standard, I felt sorry for him, winning only his 3rd cap. Ralston? Another natural right sided player overlooked. Maybe he was injured.

Won't find one post from me saying that anywhere, but you make it up if it makes you feel good about yourself, which is after all what you want. I just separated a football game from war. If you believe they're connected, then bully for you. If you believe Ukraine humiliating Scotland at football helps them in war against Russia, then bully for you. Personally, I wanted Scotland to win and am gutted they lost. I also believe it will have zero impact on what is happening in Ukraine. I wanted Scotland to win, even as a foreigner. I have huge sympathy for Ukraine as they face the Russian fascist onslaught, but Scotland means a lot more to me, it's that simple. So do Wales, so I know who I'm supporting next.

Hickey was poor just like the rest of them but he had McTominay playing right next to him, out of position and having an absolute stinker. He left him exposed on a number of occasions. If Souttar had started on the right side of that back three, I don't think we'd be talking about Hickey right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you there, Souttar definitely should have started. I also think it's time to give Hendrie a few starts. He looked comfortable playing out from the back when he came on. Far more so than Hanley ever did. Admittedly this is in hindsight but McTominay might have been a better option in midfield rather than Gilmour who hadn't been playing every week with Norwich.

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Switched on build up and first guy I saw being interviewed had a half and half scarf for Wales v Ukraine. Enough to make you puke. No fan of Ukraine but there is something inherently nauseous about Wales and their fans. Hope to see them crying tonight. If Wales lose, then rumours are Bale retiring. To go at should see them slither back to their natural place near bottom of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percival King Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Rob Page needs to have a word with Daniel James at half time - he's getting dangerously close to a second yellow and it would be a shame if that cost Wales victory (appreciate some on here don't like Wales and want them to lose).
