What are the pink shorts? The away shorts are black in the press pictures.

Spot on. Ireland lose to Germany, we're in the play-offs and hailed as heroes. But Ireland somehow beat Germany and we suddenly become pish. Bizarre!

This. One of the only ways left for us to not qualify!

Will people please stop saying " you make your own luck." A complete nothing phrase that makes me want to barf every time I hear it!

True, but when was the last time we ended up fourth in a group? Does that not perhaps make him one of our worst managers? I like Strachan but his constant defence of the players is becoming a tad tedious. Also informing us of the fact that they don't get paid for playing for Scotland and, in case we didn't understand, he clears it up by saying they get no money. Besides they do get paid if they qualify. This is fairly common with a lot of countries that they share a pot if they qualify.

If Fletcher had buried his free header at 2-1 we would have been home and dry at 3-1. Selective choice of match moments?

At last a reasonable response to what happened. That flukey goal doesn't make it over the line in the last second, the Irish stop being a jammy shower of c''nts for once, and we are being lauded as heroes, but essentially nothing about our performance would be different. Fickle doesn't even come close. Supporting Scotland sucks beyond belief and that was only compounded by having to witness my 12 year old son in tears at the end of the game. I feel like telling him right now to give it up as no good can ever come from it. Unless the Government can get involved and strive to make us luckier!

Braveheart you're a c**t. You've gone and got me believing we can actually do this! Brilliant stuff mate.

Speaking of 'Keepers, bit of a concerning position for the Poland game. I'm sure Strachan will start with Marshall but he will not have played for 3 weeks. Gordon has been looking a tad shaky at times recently and MacGregor can be a bit of a bomb scare.

Don't let Ally Bongo see you using words like this. He'll pass out!

Well, that's us ####ed. Even if we beat Germany, Poland and Gibralter we're still out because we didn't beat Georgia, therefore we don't deserve to qualify....Apparently.

How are you supposed to take it? If we fail to qualify, we can choose a particular result to say we didn't deserve to qualify. By that logic, can we not then say we do deserve to qualify even if we don't because along the way we defeated the best team in the world? Just sayin'. Ps. I apologise in advance if I have upset you with any grammer or spelling mistakes!

Why do people always churn out this hackneyed statement? So if we draw or lose to Georgia then win our remaining 3 games we still don't deserve to qualify because we never beat Georgia? WTF!

Classic rhetoric but at 4.59 next Friday, when the nerves trump the bravado, 90% of Scotland fans will be saying in their heads " I would take a play off spot right now"

Anyone noticed Liverpool fans singing this drivel? What's the connection?

Calvin harris - Let's Go. Very appropriate lyrics and you could just imagine the fireworks going off as the players line up just as the song reaches the bridge. Give it a listen with this image in your head and try not to feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end!

Anyone know if Ryan Gauld is still injured or just not making the A or B squad?

Anyone know if Gauld is injured again? No sign of him in either the senior squad or the B team.

Or Joys boys as Duflapp Rednapp Keeps calling him!

McFaddens goal against France was more of a goalkeeping error, the 'keeper pushed into the goal.

No sign of Gauld in the Sporting team tonight. Thought he might be in with a shout as he seems to have been used in a few cup games.

Noticed Sporting B game underway but it doesn't show the lineups. Anyone know if Gauld is playing for them or the main team this evening?

Downer, I was thinking he might be back for at least the ROI game. Although, I suppose that is, technically, next season.

Good point. In fact when was the last time we didn't score? Must be the friendly against USA. Changed days indeed!
