Scotland

What a fucking joke.
Not sure I've ever seen a worse first 10 mins.

Binks somehow didnt get a yellow also...when it was a yellow all day long.

Whats Clarke doing these days?
 
Commentators don’t know the rules.
You don’t get red carded if a pen is given ( unless violent or dangerous play). He got the red because it was changed to a foul. Double whammy anyway. Hendry belongs on portobello beach 🙄
 
Doesn’t matter what manager we have, our team is full of cart horses in defence. And it’s not like we have a wave of new talent knocking at the door in that area either. Bleak.

Thats what the commentator said is it not?
 
Garbage from Hendry
He looked like he was running through treacle when he chased back as did Ure when he came on near the end. Bowie should have been the one to stay on the park because he's more of a physical presence not to mention a better player than McBurnie and if Gunn is out best goalie we're almost goosed before we start.

Just catching up to this now.
Typical eh, Bowie gets his chance and it's robbed off him by a useless chunt.
Brutal

He should have been left in place instead of McBurnie.
 
Game was over after 7 minutes.
Hard enough for Scotland to compete against a decent team like Switzerland with 11 players on the pitch, impossible with 10.
We have seen some new blood coming in and that's a good thing, but this is most definitely a work in progress.
 
I hope the SFA are ready for us to drop down the nations table.
They've gone for someone who's trying to add a new identity to a team that's just aged itself out.
It's going to take time for him to find players that work for him, and then a bit longer to find the players that will play well together.

I’d argue neither had to leave the pitch. He should have gone with a back four, tucked McGinn alongside the other two midfielders, and left the two up front to press.

Going 531 after 11 minutes was admitting defeat.

Early days but he looks awfy welded to a back three, which is to the detriment of players like Robertson, McGinn, Gilmour and Gannon-Doak… aka our best players.

Seems a bit odd to me when you are short of quality centre backs to play a formation that requires more of them in your squad. We do it (did it?) as well. Let’s get more attacking players on the pitch! Can’t be arsed starting every game with 5 defenders plus however many defensive mids as well. Hope Hibs ditch it and Scotland realise we don’t have the depth to persist with it.
