Must admit, I thought it looked like a perfectly good goal at the time and having seen the replay about half a dozen times I'm still not convinced it wasn't. However, the fact that none of the Austrian players complained about the decision says a lot. How we didn't get a penalty is baffling.

PapofGlencoe Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Seen too many Scotland campaigns now to think we really needed to win that. don't want to be negative but can't lie. Need to win in israel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lets not overhype a player with two caps and one season of success in the Bundesliga for a mid-table club. This deja vu all over again. Much like people on here who were painting Serbia's players up because they played in a lot of Europe's big leagues - well its us going to the Euros. Just proves the point that matches are won on the pitch not on stats or paper. So you were saying...? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The pleasing thing for me is we seem to have a growing wider pool of players who have shown they can come in and do a job for us. Players like Hendry and maybe even Hanley have been dropped into the side in a crunch match and stood up to the test to increase our pool of central defenders and perhaps helps keep McTominay in midfield. The team spirit is now excellent and we are still getting results in matches we would have lost despite not being at our best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref made it as hard for us as he could. Another mostly good performance and a decent result. Usually we have to choose one or the other (or neither). When was the last time we scored 2 goals? maybe so but if we want to win this group then we need to be winning at home to austria. austria away is a must win game now and i struggle to see us beating denmark tbh. denmark have quality in every position and are very good side these days.

True, but it's still an upwards trajectory aimed directly at the Euros. I know I should be thinking about WC qualifier permutations as well, but I'm mainly just seeing that we could hit a bit of a crescendo going into the tournament. If we can increase our goals output in the next 2 games, I'll be delighted going into the Euros. Tons of positives tonight. McTominay and Hendry are exactly where they should be.

ParisInAKilt Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Early days yet, Denmark and Austria will hopefully take points off each other. We just need to do our bit and win the next 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loanhead-tartan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thought overall we played well tonight , ref had a mare with that penalty shout was a stonewaller. Said before the game 7 points in the first 3 games would be a good start so need to kick on now next 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards end of match they hit a really good low cross in that Marshall had to palm away while so often O'Donnell would get in similar position and just hit a defender. Hopefully they don't have someone like Arnautovic back for away game as feel he's the sort to make the difference in final third. Big game Sunday for sure. Need to turn up for once over there. Would start Adams (which I imagine is the plan giving him last 15 minutes) and perhaps Fraser. O'Donnell's a trier but he will be phased out for Nathan Patterson surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone expecting us to win the group has unrealistic expectations and they are probably in the minority on here if at all. But Denmark aren’t an elite side and are capable of dropping points as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Blackheart Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Famous last words, but Denmark aren’t a ten wins out of ten team. They will drop points somewhere - let’s make sure it’s to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Good point. Marshall at fault for the first but he’s saved us plenty times so we won’t hold it against him. Makes the next two games nailed on 6 pointer or we will struggle to make the play offs. Great to see us looking dangerous and showing fight and pride. Changed days.

Taylor1996 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I remember the days whenever Scotland fell behind, it was inevitable that we'd lose. Coming back, twice, against a good time, is a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
