Burj_Alba Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 And whilst we are at it, quick aside, when was the last time two ex Partick Thistle players ( sum proceeds 200,000) scored for Scotland. Probably never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again that ref was an utter fkin tit right the way through. Made plenty of good chances against them though. Good performance. That could've and should've been one hell of a good scalp to take. The last 20 minutes was like the Alamo so we were probably lucky to come away with a draw in the end but yeah it was a shocking decision. If the result had mattered Clarke wouldn’t have taken off Tierney, Robertson and Cooper and we would likely have held on as we looked comfortable until the subs were made. If we can score a few goals against Luxembourg our confidence and morale will be just where we need it to be going into the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 didn’t really think turnbull did much today. Mcgregor not up to it today. Thought Armstrong was good. We have three similar box to box mids in mctominay, Mcginn, Armstrong. We really need a great holding midfielder in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxembourg are on a decent run at the moment and don't have to worry about having a finals to prepare for, I'm not expecting an easy one.

I cannot understand how McGregor stays on the field for 90 minutes. And Christie, though he was good near the end, is still not the player he was 2 years ago.

Aye they’ll be no pushovers but not having a finals to prepare for doesn’t necessarily benefit them. They’ll be on holiday mode and as we all know from the last 23 years playing a pre-tournament friendly when you’re not going to the tournament is soul destroying.

Probably never. I was trying to work that out too 🤣 Mo Johnston was the last ex-Jag to score for Scotland before tonight, I'm sure of that. Edit to say, no he wasn't - Billy Dodds had a season on loan at Firhill in the '80s.

I'd had enough of him after 20 mins. Just not up to it for that level. Gilmour absolutely has to take his starting place against Luxembourg.

King Of Paisley Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Superb performance tonight. Couldn’t fault them. But we need to be streetwise in not conceding free kicks in shite areas, especially with wanker refs who will punish you for merely breathing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviebee Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Thistle connection: don't want to derail things but another ex-Jag scored a really famous goal in the 70's. I'm sure it comes up in pub trivia now and again. If anyone wants to have a go? Don't think 2 ex Thistle players have ever scored in the same match, at least in modern times. Good spot whoever noticed that. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a foul but perhaps could have stood off a bit, especially after a similar free-kick 10mins earlier. It was a free kick against England that led to their equaliser in the Griffiths game and there is also the likes of Grealish and Sterling that fall over for fun. Would be a sickener for that to happen again once the tourney starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at that burst from Armstrong in the first half when he got felled in the same area and then Dykes got chopped going for the loose ball in the same passage of play and that tit just reached down and patted his fkin guide dug. It's such a sore one getting denied a victory by a complete moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 With the performance of Armstrong tonight I’m wondering if McTominay might be put back into defence after all. A midfield three of McGregor, Armstrong and McGinn seems quite likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
