  1. I like that, go with that
  2. Holy fuck, sorry pal, I'm nae Rabbie Burns change it to whatever you want! 🤣 But for context, to the English he is an emotional anguish, a 'Heartache' caused by the loss they suffered when he turned them down for the one he truly loves, The Tartan Army
  3. No sure to be honest, those lyrics are in the Bonnie Tyler song though
  4. McTominay song is decent just needs to follow on from the song and end on a better note tbh Scott McTominay, nothin but a heartache, loves the Tartan Army, he turned the English dooooown Scott McTominay, nothin but a heartache, loves the Tartan Army, he turned the English dooooown And we don't want to share, because McTominay doesn't care, about yooooouu! Repeat
  5. 2 x Tickets seated next to each other available in Section right next to TA. Bought for £140 will sell for £70 for both
  6. That is impressive stats, and important stats. On who scored he is also ranked 9th best player in the league, playing for the team second bottom! Every other player in the top ten plays for either Benfica, Porto, Sporting or Braga
  7. You can separate some of that though. Yes Tuchel has done a brilliant job at Chelsea on the whole, but that does not mean he has been perfect, he isn't exempt from criticism as this situation proves he hasn't got everything right. He is a manager, and he hasn't managed this situation brilliantly Whether this was Gilmour or anyone else in the squad it is clear as day that situation has not been managed well. And I completely disagree that he is not good enough for Chelsea as he has already proved he can play in that team every single time he has been given a chance in the past, the problem right now is he is not being given that chance by Tuchel. ETA Chelsea played out a drab draw and probably should have been beaten last night and Gilmour was still left kicking his heels on the bench. He just needs a chance
  8. That is shocking from Tuchel. He claimed Gilmour was 4th choice Midfielder but clearly not. Gilmour needs to get some balls and be banging his door in the morning, I'm pissed off at such blatant bullshit from Tuchel god knows how Gilmour must feel
  9. That shambles of a club are in the semi finals of the Champions League....
  10. I don't get why as a Scotland fan you would seem to revel in this.... I for one would much rather they were both starring in the EPL
  11. It is very frustrating as a Scotland fan and even more so for Billy Gilmour. He was on the cusp of starting games in the Premier League under Lampard. There is an argument though he is now learning from a better manager, and if he was to eventually get a proper chance under Tuchel it would be arguably a bigger statement playing under a proven Champions League standard manager. He still isn't far away, he is 4th choice Midfielder as it stands and all he needs is one chance
  12. No dropped from Champions League squad
  13. I actually think, certainly in some games, that Gilmour, Patterson and Gauld or Turnbull should all be starters. The amount of creativity in those players there is something we are crying out for
  14. Number 10 behind Dykes or Adams is his position. He should essentially be vying with Ryan Christie or Ryan Fraser for that position. He is a number 10 all day long.
  15. https://youtu.be/ubTRSpC1TPc Highlights from the match last night, Gauld looked lively, one chance he created second half was outstanding, we don't have many if any players that can pick out crosses like that one
  16. According to the Scots Abroad podcast he didn't want to leave Farense mid way through a relegation battle, he is their captain and does owe them a bit for helping him get his career back on track. His contracts up in the summer anyway so he will get his move then. If he played that well against Braga last night they may be first in line again
  17. Deary me Firstly, I take both your points if you actually take the time to read my post you will read I acknowledge both points and agree with one not the other. Secondly, and again just to reiterate, the fact we had the ball either side of the park instead of the middle, and wait for this one because it will genuinely blow your mind... Is a thing called tactics. So just to explain tactics are something that exist in football and other sports to exploit vulnerabilities in the opposition.. It was Clarke's plan to play down the flanks and exploit the opposition down there all along.. genius eh Thirdly... You are correct we did play with 3 centre backs.. until such times as we actually didn't.. Again, that little word I used before, Tactics. Tierney was allowed to bomb forward and create overloads on the Left Wing position to set up two goals and McTominay was creating overloads in Midfield to create new passing lanes. See when these 2 centre backs step out of position and we are left with 1 centre back do you think it is still advisable for all our Midfielders to press high up the park? Honestly man you don't have to agree with the tactics we used but at least understand them.
  18. Why do you pick and choose your quotes, everyone has read the full opening post, you don't need to cut and paste parts of it to suit an argument. The post was aimed primarily at your worry surrounding all our creativity coming from wide and centre halves stepping out from the back and a lack of creativity from Midfield. To me that just lacks a basic understanding of football. The basic understanding that playing through Midfield is not the tactics we deployed, making it impossible to criticise the Midfield for a lack of creativity. The tactics v the Faroes were not to play through Midfield it was to play it wide get overlaps get it in the box and score. It worked brilliantly. We will aslo never go through a whole game and concede no chances whatsoever but still.. it never ended 4-2.. it was 4 nil. And what exactly were these glorious chances? A couple of long range efforts, in most games you take them all day long. If Marshall had been up to it v Austria and Israe lhe would have done better on both long range efforts we conceded from as well. Could the Midfield have done better at times at the job they had been given, cover defensively and close the space.. yeah the could have, they can be criticised for that. But what they can't be criticised for is not getting on the ball at every opportunity and creating chances, as this was not their job, so your opening post regarding Midfield creativity is nonsense
  19. I thought your point was the Midfield wasn't creative....
  20. You and I were both specifically talking about the tactics for the Faroes game last night. So don't jump around your idiotic post
  21. And also by Adams and Dykes being in the box it occupies defenders allowing space for others. I honestly don't know how you can't see what we were doing last night and that what we were doing worked! What a ridiculous post regarding the midfield not being creative and getting on the ball last night, it wasn't their job to thread balls through to Adams and Dykes so they could score, that was never the plan
  22. This is actually laughable. You do know the reason the ball went down the flanks and not through the middle is because that is exactly the tactics Steve Clarke used. It was by design to play this way. We adopted these tactics and we won 4 nil!! Have you ever seen Sheffield United play? We have basically adopted their tactics on our left hand side. We create overloads on that side to create chances. The role of the two central midfielders wasn't to create, it was to protect and recycle possession. They were there, McLean mainly as defensive cover to allow Tierney to bomb on. The other two, McGregors job was to provide defensive cover but also just keep the ball ticking over when in possession, recycle it, so others can spread the play. McGinns job was never to be involved in the play, his job was to get on the end of the build up play and arrive in the box when the crosses came in. Honestly open your eyes. Adams and Dykes never got as many shots because others got on the end of the crosses instead of them!
  23. Little bit harsh on Hendry because he is good with the ball at his feet but McTominay is another level up which is why he plays for Man Utd and not Oostende. Hendry has also been playing in the middle of the back three at Oostende and I think this is actually his best position. In time I would like to try a back 3 of Tierney Hendry and McTominay as they all have great pace which would allow us to play higher up the pitch
  24. Marshall McTominay. Hanley. Tierney Fraser. Jack Robertson Gilmour. McGinn Turnbull Adams
  25. I like everything about that apart from the partnership up front. I know it was the first game together but it just didn't work for me. Dykes looked to be completely off Adams wavelength. Dykes will be useful as an out ball at times but I still think we need another partner for Adams
