Macron must be a strong bet....hoovering up the market

I thought McGregor linked up very well in the 2nd half with Robbo and Tierney, even some of his runs just to drag Israelis away to make space for the other two were great to see.

Much as I love the 78 kit with red Umbro socks, I’d rather our kits didn’t have any red in them

Does the red not signify the Union Flag?

For me, it was only a poor decision in hindsight - yes a pass right was the better option and i keep shouting for the pass in my head, but only because of what happened next - there is no reasonable scenario where you'd expect that shot to lead directly to a goal from the halfway line. We were piling on the pressure at that point and had just had 2 close things - why not shoot? He'd just found his range...force a save, get a rebound, keep the crowd roaring etc. And....SO'D could easily have sent in a duff cross and we'd have been criticising JH for not shooting 🙂

Who cares Craig, ignore the noise - that's social media for you, and we all know that certain demographics of Scotland are going to pile in. I'm feeling really positive about yesterday - much rather lose but create chances and think we have something to build on, than lose and create nothing and think we shouldn't be there. When was the last time we created that many chances against a decent team in a game that matters? We could just as easily have won 3-1 - we deserve to be there and the next 2 matches should be cracking. Not just positive about the next week, but looking at the next 2, 4, 6 years as the squad builds up caps and experience...

Wow. Sat and watched that with my boys before they went to school today - I was in a sweat by the end, didn't realise I was that hyped. Denis Law......

If you put an Albanian vodafone sim only into an iPhone, does everything still work as normal (contacts etc)? Daft laddie question i know...

Always seems to be a Saltire at every World Cup or Euros match... Apart from McTeeko and AllyWilson, anyone else going to Moscow? C

If the new lease also includes the Scottish Cup, here's a possible outcome: Hampden re-leased but on a more flexible bias for the SFA Murrayfield used for the guaranteed sell-outs (top seeds, play-offs, Rangers or Celtic semi-finals). Why? An extra 15,000 tickets sold at the highest cost Hampden used for the 35,000-45,000 matches Possibly use smaller grounds for the minnow matches to create a better atmosphere (though it would mean sacrificing income, so i doubt this) Non Old Firm semi-finals taken away from Hampden to sensible venues for 20,000 crowds

I thought we blatantly missed SB at the start of the last campaign, both in a playing sense and in his leadership. The team looked weak without him, he seemed to give everyone a lift when he came back in. He'd also clearly benefited from the break himself. Coming to end of his career, i'd be happy with him pacing himself to get the most out of him when it really matters over the next 2 seasons. All that matters is qualifying for the Euros, to achieve that we need to use our resources in a sensible and efficient way. An attitude of "if he doesn't play every match, feck him" is self-defeating.

Tel Aviv is nice and cheap to get to though....

Craig Levein's the obvious candidate - he's proven himself at Hearts again this season.

It's Martin O'Neil we should be after....

Surely a new kit will make all the difference in the next campaign, giving us that extra 10% to get over the line and into the finals?

Barring the mistakes, I thought Darren Fletcher played well in Slovenia, his best game for a while. But he must be getting to end of his days in the team. Scott Brown is irreplaceable at the moment - he's vital for the momentum and improvement of the squad to continue. As much/more for his leadership as for his ability

Cool, SFA and WGS obviously agreed with my post :-)

Go. 1. For me he sets up too negatively, too often (2nd half of the Euro campaign, 1st half of this campaign, as soon as we went 1-0 up in Slovenia). We can't play this way like Eire can, we do best on the front foot. 2. Does he really believe he can succeed? I don't think so, the "we're too small" chat has been used several times This could be an opportunity to freshen it up but based on a strong foundation and momentum, like when McLeish took over from Smith.

Ticket offloaded :-)

Not harvesting, got a couple of comps from a player - one spare. 07788138362

If we end up on 18 points with Slovakia, is it goal difference or head to head?

Only joking

You're right Kumnio. We should have persevered with Levein rather than hounding him out, the foundations he was laying would have been bearing fruit about now.

I'd like to show my 8 year old a preview of tomorrow's match, some kind of montage of great Scotland vs England moments. Can't find anything on youtube, can anyone help?

Pretty excited to have 3 tickets for Ted's gig at the Havana Cafe on Tuesday afternoon before the buses leave for Travana... Until I realised that my bus leaves at 12 :-( I think the event is sold out, so if anyone wants them send me a PM
