Glad to hear it, looked a bit like he was but it was very close to him so hard to tell

Me and a mate started signing the McGinn song when walking out of the ground only to get a few weird looks.

Did you also sing it first half? I was sure I heard one of the mics pick it up early on then I thought I must have been hearing things.

Sadly not.

On the train coming back to central and a few others singing it too.

How can Lee Wallace not get in that squad? Wallace, Tierney and Robertson would be 3 solid options at left back rather than having to endure Mulgrew playing there in the 2nd half tonight, he should be nowhere near the squad.

Was awful nd I agree about Wallace

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 29-03-2016 09:08 PM

watching the replay of that bridcutt challenge, guys very lucky it was just a yellow, all in agreement in studio saying it should have been red

**truehibernian** · 29-03-2016 09:10 PM

Scotland win two games V good opposition, score two, concede none yet the radio pundits sound like they're about to hurl themselves off a bridge, moaning about a 'poor' performance !!

Can our country not be upbeat and happy when we win FFS !!!

Bridcutt challenge should have definitely been red no idea how he was allowed to stay on.

***Jim44*** · 29-03-2016 09:17 PM

Three positives tonight for Strachan. A win, albeit undeserved, McGinn totally justifies selection and plays himself into the full squad and secondly Strachan got a clear and undisputable idea of some players who should never be selected again.

***Twiglet*** · 29-03-2016 09:22 PM

Listening to Strachans post match press conference. He liked McGinns debut. Someone then asked if he was happy that McGinn is in the championship and if he can continue to play for Scotland from there. He did not like that question. Basically said that if he's good enough so he'll play, same for any player.

I rate Wallace but I think Andy Robertson has the potential to go on and play at the highest level. Tierney Was arguably motm first half before he came off so Wallace has a lot to prove imo. He made his choice to drop the divisions / take the money and all that entails.

No, not Scotland.

Half the commentators will be gutted to see us win.

I haven't seen a single criticism of McGinn tonight, in fact most comments have been complimentary. However, in a thread on FF, McGinn is left without a name, to a man they thought his selection and performance were shocking and he was even picked out as the worst player on the park.......... and these muppets wonder " why everone hates Sevco and their supporters" If they are as bitter and twisted, the least they can do is completely ignore the Scottish team and live in their blinkered, blue and English cocoon, instead of making comments that show them up as not really understanding football. In contrast, the Celtic supporters are shouting for McGinn to be signed.

I liked David Tanners sign off tonight, "so, 2 wins in a week for Scotland, in some countries that World Cup winning form" : )

It's like I said after our first victory, a lot of people are fueled by negativity in Scotland, and they genuinely feel uncomfortable when it comes to giving due praise because it goes against the status quo to be negative.

It speaks volumes how on this board alone there is very little praise being given to Scotland, individual players etc. whereas have a little look in on the next Scotland game thread if we lose. Then you'll see the difference.

It's pathetic and sad.

I totally agree and it's becoming a bit tiring seeing fans and the media giving Scotland praise through gritted teeth when they win and seemingly taking great delight when sticking the boot in after a defeat.

I would say it's not just Scotland fans that do that though, it happens on here as well. Compare the length of the match threads after a win over Alloa to the match thread after we get beat by Dumbarton for example. Some people thrive on negativity.

FWIW I thought Scotland played quite well first half but second half they sat too deep and constantly gifted possession back to Denmark. We didn't defended particularly well second half either as they created loads of good chances. The main positives were good debuts from Tierney and McGinn. Overall it was a decent win over a nation ranked above us and together with the win over the Czechs will mean a few more ranking points.

Two footed, out of control lunge

He dived in with both feet off the ground. If the defender hadn't rode the challenge it could have caused a serious injury. A tackle like that is a straight red in a competitive game if anyone other than a Scottish ref is in charge.

Here's a link to it actually. It looks even worse in the replay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9lar8b32Ek

As will most of the posters on here.

***SteveHFC*** · 30-03-2016 12:15 PM

Matt Ritchie has been a good addition to the squad. Not had a bad game so far.

It was a terrible tackle. In a friendly match, 10 mins left, in that area of the pitch, nae need for it whatsoever.

Someone said to me today that apparently arsenal are looking at Robertson, no idea how accurate the rumour is
