Who's going to Dublin? Ireland v Scotland

[Gatecrasher]

Just further proof these extra officials are BS and video technology is needed.

[Thecat23]

Poor from the officials, but Scotland have just sat in not playing like they did Against Germany! Maybe the kick up the arse we needed.

Didn't get a second look but looked offside. None of the commentators are mentioning it so I'm probably wrong.

Why aren't we getting replays?

[Hibrandenburg]

Not looking like Scotland can press far enough forward without leaving the back door open. Can't see where a Scotland goal is going to come from.

[SJNB Hibby]

Broony's off his game

[cabbageandribs1875]

i make that about 38 corners for them now

Watching a match conference on German TV and they keep switching between Dublin and Warsaw.

[Golden Bear]

They certainly kick harder than us.

[kaimendhibs]

Well offside

it's a Martin O'Neil team, what do you expect?

[SquashedFrogg]

Change/s required at half-time for me. No threat going forward, nothing in midfield and honking at the back.

Broony's off his game

Looks out of his depth which is a surprise because I though a slugging match like this would see him in his element.

'kin booooo, and 'kin booooo the blind far side lineman that doesn't know the offside rule

[easty]

They're definitely targeting Forsyth at LB.

He could see the ball went out earlier and gave a corner, when Ritchie had clearly kept it in. **** linesman.

[Pretty Boy]

How can Strachan justify playing Mulgrew who ha played about 12 minutes all season?

Also Ireland look far better prepared but that's probably becuase they played England and Northern Ireland behind closed doors whilst Scotland were having a kick about with a pub team for some reason.

[H18S NX]

How was that wee plastic paddy mccarthy allowed to stay on the park? Robertson on for Forsyth hopefully.

He's getting very little defensive support - would like to see Anya come on there as he tracks back as much as he powers forward.

This group is tight enough without abysmal decisions like that coming back to haunt us.

I think he's getting no support out there. Brown breaks it up and lays it to creative players but there's no options for him out there. I'm sure I saw Fletch run by my house a minute ago he's so far away from the ball.

Too easy for Ireland knowing we've no threat.

Disappointing as Ireland aren't very good. We need to be far more positive

[Bobo]

Lame performance from Scotland so far, we can't string 2 passes together and haven't posed a threat at all. We're letting Ireland intimidate us and it's worked as we're tentative all over the park! Need to be more aggressive in the 2nd half because we've been pish so far!

The officials have been poor as well, with a number of wrong decisions and the goal clearly offside. No excuse though, we've been really poor and need do a lot better.

[Pretty Boy]

Harsh criticism of Matshall for the goal as well.

That ball is coming spinning down from some height and he's had to back pedal a few yards so has probably lost his bearings slightly. It wasn't dropping that far over so he can't take the chance.

[easty]

So clearly offside. That's a shocking decision. Bull ****.

Looked like handball too.

[Stax]

Don't know what we're waiting for, not started yet. Feel sorry for Forsyth but half our team missing. Saying that they should be down to ten men and their goal was off a mile. Rocket from strachan & a couple of changes reqd..

That's with the extra man behind the goals too. I don't think I've ever seen any of them call a decision that the others weren't giving anyway. 'Ireland's' McCarthy should have been sent off imo too.

[kaimendhibs]

Not only offside but handball too! Garbage officials yet again

[Scouse Hibee]

What's the score?

[kaimendhibs]

1-0

I'm with you. I think it would have hit at least the top of the bar...

I'm sure if he'd left it and it bounced back into play he'd be getting pelters.

Amateur defending cost us that goal. Off-side yes, but it should easily have been cleared.

I still can't believe how negative we've been and how we end up playing Forsyth in a Scotland strip in a game with such importance. I understand the logic of 'keeping things tight' but we are a far better team than we've shown so far.
