Toepoke Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Would be great to see Mendieta stroke a penalty home. Coolest spot kicker ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I only watched some of the NI match but we looked awful. McFadden was really disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I managed to catch most of the games last night. Scotland were solid if unspectacular against ROI (although McCulloch's first goal had definite shades of his cracker against Ukraine!) and definitely benefited from Hunt getting sin binned. NI got leathered by ROW in the first game and a Scotland win seemed a certainty however for some reason Matteo decided to play a 1-3-1 formation and every time NI came forward it was 2-3 vs 1 and they took advantage easily. McFadden and Miller were honking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee-toon-red Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 McFadden is 35 and looked like he was 45. McCulloch and especially Ferguson are 40 and looked in their early 30s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have thought a player like him would excel in this format. Was Owen Coyle playing for RoI or did I imagine him in the team. Quite a few ex ‘well players in the squads. Jones from NI played for us in the 2011 Scottish cup final. Apparently scored more goals last night than in his Motherwell “career”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAteer said his sole reason for picking Quinn is that he likes a beer and is good on the Karaoke!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Iain Ferguson (he of many clubs) was the best sixes player I ever saw. Incredible skills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Charlie Miller and Simon Donnelly were both ridiculously hyped up by the Glasgow press when they were youngsters weren't they ? Made silly predictions for their future and wild comparisons with great players of the past. Another lesson for us never to get too excited and not to burden our young Scots players of today with unrealistic sky high expectations.

He didn’t really get latter days in a Scotland shirt due to Levein and injuries. Realky enjoyed that Scotland v England game, I don’t think they were expecting Scotland to be quite as up for it.

sbcmfc Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Btw, Scotland were robbed of a place in the final by the refs decision to send off Mcateer but not Owen. not that mcateer made much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the ref was going to do anything until McAteer booted Owens backside. Typical Owen though. Got a wee snidey kick in then bottles it when he's confronted. Apparently Owens mate was there and giving McAteer verbals from the sidelines too which is partly what enhanced the meltdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
