  1. Simple summary, we cannae defend. Needs sorted for next time.
  2. Geoffrey Howe away now this week. Nigel Lawson will be bricking it next Saturday!

    Steady Decline

    Depressing list, couldn't read it all. The rise of the EPL has coincided with the diminution of us as an international force. To me blocking off the route for so many of our players to the English top flight, and top teams in particular, has really harmed us...
  4. What's happened to Roary?

    Flares?

    I wasn't actually that bothered with the guy behind me standing holding a flare in the air, however the inherent safety risk to spectators was swiftly demonstrated when a fat bas in a kilt decided to rugby tackle him...
  6. UEFA also taking action against the Polish FA over the flares and crowd trouble according to the news there...
  7. Our possession fitba was brutal
  8. The Mash didn't need to fabricate too much here... http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/media/daily-mail-sent-chocolate-mosque-with-note-saying-bite-me-20151009102765
  9. Always thought the 24 team Euros was a terrible idea, they're welcome to it
  10. Soon as I saw their keeper come up I feared the worst. Terrible defending though (story of the campaign)...

    The changing political geography of Europe has certainly not helped. We also used have the advantage of being a long established football nation while others were decades behind us. Unfortunately those decades have now elapsed. That said I totally agree our players should be doing better. We were doing a bit of head scratching last night trying to think of our last player who could have been considered anything near world class. Poor show when you see who similar sized or smaller countries can produce.
  12. Don't have an issue with Celtic's tweet, Scotland and Ireland could still both have been able to progress this weekend.

    True although we only needed to win 3 games to qualify
  14. Lots of really dangerous things look sensational. A lit flare landed on the deck a couple of rows behind us. It was like a blowtorch going off!
  15. I experienced both kinds, the guys in front of us were sound, wanted to keep them posted on the Ireland score. Shook hands as I walked out at the equaliser. Least said about the knobs behind us when the first goal went in the better. Wasn't really bothered about flares before but having seen one burning up close tonight they look like pretty dangerous things to be waving around in a crowd. Especially next to kids.
  16. He's been a huge loss without a doubt. Hope he comes back as good a player as before, that's a helluva long time to be sidelined...
  17. Agreed there was a full blown rammy going on up behind us and no cops anywhere. Worst bother I've witnessed in a Scottish stadium for decades...
  18. I'm certainly not that impressed with him continually blaming our failure on "offside goals and deflected goals"...
