  1. Marshall: 6 - Made one great save and was generally a save pair of gloves, as per usual. McTominay: 4 - He got caught out once too often. He's a liability at the back. He's a ball carrier, not a center back. McKenna: 6 - He was solid and never let the side down. Tierney: 6 - (See McKenna) Robertson: 5 - Always made himself available, but it doesn't seem help that the midfield can't play longer than 5 yards Jack: 4 - Not really sure what he adds. Whatever he adds, we don't need it. McGregor: 3 - Since Jamie Redknapp is there a player who makes more sideways and backwards passes? Adds nothing. Christie: 4 - Wasn't entirely sure where he was playing. His first touch is awful. Forest: 4 - He tries, but he's not very good out wide. McGinn: 7 - Scotland's best player. He fought for everything and he never gave up. Dykes: 7 - Very promising debut. The ball stuck and his general hold up play looks very good. Steve Clarke: 10 - Let's just hope he has the testicular fortitude to stick this system. Judging it over one match (and not judging four at the back over 20 years) is insane.
  2. 100% yes. I'm glad you asked that. It's about long term.
  3. Do you think that I expected us to win 10:0? It's not a magic wand. We are who we are. It's all about laying a foundation. If Steve Clarke sticks with this system, we'll have more success than we've had in the past 20 years.
  4. I'm probably the happiest Scotland fan tonight. I'm absolutely over the moon! As I said earlier, I don't care about the result or even the performance, I just wanted a change of system. If anyone is demanding we go back to a four, we'll, they're demented. We play four at the back for 20 years with no success, and three only has one match? Right. Hopefully Steve Clarke sticks to his guns and keeps with the three. So happy.
  5. No. For all this nonsense about us being strong in midfield, we're absolutely woeful in midfield. Jack isn't very good and McGregor is the master of passing it sideways and back. The sooner Gilmour progresses, the better.
  6. Because we haven't qualified for anything since 1998. Change is good.
  7. I don't even care what the final score is, or the result. It's about the big picture for me. The fact that we changed system makes me delighted! Because I know that it's the way forward for us. Hopefully Steve Clarke sticks with it. If he does, I will be ecstatic! And McTominay is not a centre back. I'd rather Cooper start in the back three.
  8. It's true. He's the right sided center back
  9. Sky have confirmed it's three at the back: McTominay, McKenna and Tierney.
  10. According to the Daily Record it's the obligatory 4-2-3-1 If they're right: Marshall; Jack, McKenna, Tierney, Robertson; McTominay, McGregor Forrest, , McGinn; Christie Dykes.
  11. I'm guessing it'll be 4-4-1-1 Marshall; Jack, McKenna, Tierney, Robertson; Forrest, McTominay, McGregor, Christie; McGinn; Dykes.
  12. The Scotland starting XI is: Marshall; Jack, McKenna, Tierney, Robertson; Forrest, McTominay, McGregor, Christie; McGinn; Dykes. SUBS: McLaughlin, McCrorie, Paterson, Fleck, Gallagher, Cooper, Burke, Armstrong, McLean, O’Donnell, Palmer, Taylor
  13. No. I've been watching Snooker since 1990 so I understand the sport and sometimes players get the luck of the baize, but to get an extraordinary fluke in four out of five matches is very strange. No, flukes can't win you a match, but it can certainly change the flow of a match. I remember one, he was missing a pot by a mile, it took a ricochet against a neighbour red and it went in. It's not sour grapes or lack of snooker knowledge on my part. It just struck me as... Eery.
  14. He's a winner just by playing again after the hip surgery. It was a valiant effort.
  15. Well, they used to think that the Sun revolved around around the Earth. People are weird like that. I don't really have a horse in this, as I don't care enough.
  16. Yikes! Mirth isn't really common in this part of the net. That comment will surely be met with dead eyes and confused emojis. We don't have to pretend to be awful, though. 😉
  17. It makes you wonder about fate and destiny, etc. Sullivan was on the end of four spectacular flukey pots in the World Championship. You might see one, maybe two, but the fact that he had four makes you wonder. And if anyone here watched the World Championship, you'll know what I mean. Sullivan had unbelievable luck winning number 6.
  18. There's a reason why sportsmen/sportswomen do it. Tennis, especially, is a massive sport and the players employ the best of the best in the world of physiotherapy. I'm not going to second guess them. I just found out that the cryo chamber is only available at the French, which is surprising.
  19. Good questions. We shall soon see. What I do know is that the kid is a player.
  20. Agreed. The only sticking point about the Bayern contract is that he was going to begin in the youth team. Apparently, he's going to go straight into the Bologna first team. Serie A has produced some of the best ever defenders. Hickey will be coached well, guaranteed. Craig Levein thinks he'll eventually be an anchorman, so fingers crossed.
  21. Apparently, Hickey to Bologna is a done deal. Which is a shame, it would've been nice to have had three kids at Bayern Munich.
  22. Yep. 😛 It's actually a good idea. NordVPN users sell their credentials, as to off-set the ultimate price. Is it legal? Probably. It would be pulled by eBay if it wasn't.
