Malcolm Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Nah.... we were great.... two up in the first five minutes, mcgregor saved a penalty, then McGinn came on and scored a hat trick. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Hunt Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yes , a wee bit worse than the usual Scotland home friendly. Cannot remember us performing well in a friendly at home for a long time. As has become the norm for this type of game, poor atmosphere too. All the usual criticism applies. Should have been Easter Road, Rugby Park, Pittodrie, etc,. Then the double edged sword comments would have been trotted out; it should have been Hampden . Andy Robertson was good, McBurnie decent but no threat to a fit Griffiths. Do not want to judge any of them on this but Tom Cairney really disappointed me. Probably out of position. McTominay made at least 3 errors when losing ball or man. This was not our A team rather an opportunity to give some new faces a chance. Personally, would liked McGinn to have had much, much more game time. Friendly- wise, I think Nigeria at Craven Cottage was the last one I genuinely enjoyed and in today's world that may well have been regarded as our home tie. Cannot remember who was at home but remember great support, Ground was jumping and leaving in very positive mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mee Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I try to watch every Scotland game. There aren't that many on per year. Is the Hungary game on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 So... we learned something abotu the new players? If it had been all old guard and we had a better result or performance people would say we learned nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official attendance was 20,488 which is less than what Pittodrie holds. You’d probably get less than that at a full house at Pittodrie to be fair due to segregation but there were no away fans last night as far as I could see so that wouldn’t have been a problem. Easter Road holds a baw hair less than the official attendance last night. I would be surprised if there were actually any more than about 18,000 in the ground last night. Has home harvesting officially started? The game should have been in Edinburgh (even Tynecastle would have done if it meets the criteria for internationals) as Aberdeen held the last one and Hampden will get all the qualifiers. Was the SFA deluded enough to think there was going to be a huge crowd last night? Shower of idiots.

No segregation, no issues; they seemed to have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant I didn’t think there was an away section but didn’t word it very well. There was a lot of Irish guys in with us at Celtic Park as well with no issues (that I saw anyway). The way it should be I suppose if there are plenty of tickets going spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did actually see a fight breaking out in the top tier in the corner between a good sized group of people but I was too far away to see what it was about. It didn’t make the news and the talk was it was between Scotland fans only. Where I was sitting (small stand behind the goals - Jock Stein maybe? Can’t remember) there were a few Irish boys sitting near us and we were having a laugh with them. That wouldn’t have changed if Ireland had scored but I can’t speak for everyone. You do get some roasters at our games the same as any football match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to sign in now, don't think you previously had to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbcone?area=scotland I usually watch it on the regional channels on Sky or Freeview (at the far end of the channel listings, near the naughty ones!)

They wouldn’t be able to put it online if Sky was also showing it but I assume the BBC have exclusive rights? If you have Sky then you’ll be able to access BBC Scotland somewhere around channel 980.
