***World Cup Play-off Draw - Ukraine. ***

McTominay & Robertson worst 2 players on the pitch. 
 

A lot of endeavour and very little gameplan is my observation.
 

A lack of width in front of our full backs hurts us offensively. Robertson is fit and has a great delivery but only on an overlap.

Oh get a grip.

 

🙄 hope that's appropriate enough for you.

Nothing wrong with your comments. This love in with Ukraine was pathetic. Most couldn't pick it out on a map and haven't a ****ing clue about political situation, but they wave a flag and think it makes a difference. 

Here's an update for them, it won't make a ****ing jot of a difference to Russia, their leadership and their plans.

Glad im off tomorrow. My English colleagues would have been unbearable. 
That was really an isipid performance. McGinn totally hibsed that header. 

Embarrassing.

Wales got beat 2-1 off Poland tonight in a Nation's League game.....

 

Not sure if that means anything or not considering Wales put out a 2nd string team

Hopefully an end for Clarke now with his utterly shite tactics.

 

Players like Hanley, O'Donnell should be nowhere near the squad let alone the team.

Playing McTominay over week in week out CBs in defence is a joke.

Dykes appears to be able to win a header and nothing else.

Gilmour shouldnt have started I reckon as well.

 

11 defenders in that squad.

8 midfielders.

 

Or 12 and 7 as McTominay played in defence.

That back 3 should never play another game again for Scotland,  all over the place .

Dykes and Adams are a couple of cart horses to be brutally honest .

We looked totally unprepared tonight , the delay definitely affected us , we were flying March/April but looked jade tonight

A truly pathetic performance , right up there with the worst in our history.

Gordon saved Scotland from being humiliated.

The worst CB from the worst team in England starts ahead of Soapy.

The world's best LB is totally anonymous for the 2nd half.

Glad I don't think like you and I can separate a sport from a real life scenario.  You can have your comments about the game and the team but when you overlap the two sitiuations you're losing the moral ground.

Merde post in the circumstances IMO.

He isn’t the best left back in the world by a long shot. Far from it. 
 

He’s a system player for Liverpool who is effective on an overlap. 
 

Tierney better overall IMO.

Ross Stewart must be glad of call up, watching Hanley playing up front while he sat on bench.

Shut the **** up about this mythical strain the Ukrainians are under. These guys are footballers playing football. It's what they do.

FFS, even Willie Miller sounds sensible. Set up was pish from start, and we didn't make changes till far too late.

All on manager, every single thing he touched was shite.

This is correct. Ukraine are a good team. But the performance, was utterly shambolic. Everyone could see it wasn't working but nothing was changed until it was far too late.

 

Unfortunately I think Wales will comfortably win on Sunday - Ukraine will have given so much mentally and physically tonight and will struggle on Sunday. Plus the Welsh manager will probably pick the correct team and formation to win (or change it as necessary). 

I think Ukraine will put Wales out on Sunday. 

This was the first time they have played together since the conflict started. 

People are underestimating Ukraine.

Oh good for you, I don't care a jot about the moral ground. 

You carry on supporting Ukraine and feeling good for them, while we aren't on world cup again.

Am Pist Aff!!!

 

We were too soft. Felt sorry for

them. Cuddling them

and helping them up. Fek that!!! We should have went in hard and crushed any hope They had!

Far too much respect!!!

Nice they have something to celebrate but did it have to be Scotland that facilitated that FFS???

 

Ragin!!!

And there you go putting words in other peoples mouths.  Where did I say I supported Ukraine.  I supported Scotland and and really disappointed in the performance and result tonight.  Unlike you and some others, I can separate the game from the war situation....and as I say, when you mix and overlap the two - you've lost the high ground.

You don't car about moral grounds - fair enough.  Says more about you.

He isn’t even the best Scottish left back never mind in the world. I’ve yet to be impressed with him in any Scotland game. As you say fits into the Liverpool system take him out that team and he’s badly exposed.

According to Leanne Crichton, O'Donnell would have been better than Hickey.

The great minds of football indeed.

Simply put, we set up wrong and didn't change quickly enough.

To focus on our deficiencies tonight, I feel sorry for Craig.  The last chance he'll get to go to a World Cup final and his team mates cocked it up big style.

Yup, total love in. No hostile atmosphere as supporters too busy worrying about 'moral highground'.

I watched the first half of the Wales game earlier and tbh thought Scotland would struggle against them and Wales were without Bales, Ramsey etc

 

*although Wales did end up losing

Two huge games at Hampden against Croatia and tonight.

Both times Clarke has been shown to be incapable of setting up correctly, picking wrong team, and refusing to make changes till far too late.

Not up to the job.

Ach, look on the bright side, at least Craigie and maybe Halks and Kingsley won't be going to Qatar and possibly getting injured in December. 'Mon the Hearts in the knockout stages of the Europa League. Yaaasss. !

Correct. Should have set up to absolutely pummel them in the first half hour. He's not got a clue.

Wonder if Craig will retire from international football now. Kind of got that impression by that interview there.

Well Scotland not going to World Cup hopefully that will be the last you will see off cooper Hanley get hendry souttar paired together. Get mctominay in def mid Gilmour was very poor tonight  he needs away from Chelsea more 1st team football. Get tierney at left back push Robbo forward. We need a striker badly Adam not good enough dykes is overrated. Man of match for me would have to be big craigie. Good luck 🇺🇦 hope you beat the sheep ahaggers. Ps I think Clarke got it all wrong tonight

Pasquale for King

The better team won, should’ve been about 6 and we might’ve got rid of the manager.
