Orraloon Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Scotland are the only team on the planet who could blow it from this position. 😉 🤣 If we win on Tuesday we have to start thinking about winning the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) I am lost for words. The Norway coach taking off Haaland when they are only 1 up was a real shocker. Dykes should be the man of the match, he could easily have gone to sleep but scored once and was massive with his layoff for the second. McGinn with his cross instead of shooting showed real awareness. The problem I find with Scotland is always considering the future and not enjoying the moment and deferring the enjoyment. We are 8 points off our 2nd place main rival in Norway and 6 points clear of Spain who don't play until September. If we keep our composure and beat Georgia then we are 9 points ahead of 2nd place in the league in Spain we can totally enjoy the summer which I think mathematically means 4 points in our last 4 matches would get us to Germany.

He was getting dodgy long balls fired up to him. Gotta hand it to him he pulled out a nice lay off for mclean and the first goal he probably got a bit lucky but still done well to finish it. The guys been solid for scotland which is all we can ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Didn't have much to do, but Gunn has completely won me over. Unlucky with the pen too. Anyone notice at ht, the only sprinkler they had on was the one outside our penalty area, hour did that work out 🖕🖕🖕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely created anything all game and he dosen't even bring Ferguson on?! Nevermind one of the strikers. Been very disappointing today, need to play much better on Tuesday.

There was no creativity or urgency to our game. We looked like we wanted the draw from the outset and thats a dangerous game to play. We have gotten a huge bit of luck and its great to see.

mccaughey85 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Did anyone else think the pen was harsh. Didnt look like much in it. I actually thought hendrys arm pull on haaland before that was more of a pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfielders and even defenders get the goals needed. Dykes has also scored a few despite not really being a natural goalscorer. Its all good but a goal poacher would be great to have as well.

Tartan blood Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I wonder if wearing the white strip helped with coping with the sun. White absorbs less heat than dark blue or red would have. It might have given us that extra 0.5% of energy needed to get up the pitch in the dying minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
