If this is a foul, there will be about 40 penalties a week????

Think Souttar was unlucky to be sent off. We were struggling long before that though.

McGregor saved us from arguably the most embarrassing result in Scotland's international history. 5 or 6 wouldn't have flattered Israel.

Anyone else find it funny that Souttar was sent off?

Better get in quick, boys. Those Portugal tickets are going to be like gold dust.

Another thing is I don’t get what McKenna has. Strikes me as a big stopper and not much else.

can't disagree with willie miller although he's exagerrated about the attempts, it was only 22
They had 23 attempts at goal and that shouldn't happen, but it did because we didn't perform in any department. The strikers didn't threaten, the midfield was simply dreadful, the wing-backs couldn't have played any worse... Allan McGregor is the only one who got pass marks.

There's no need for any post mortem into what's wrong with the Scottish game. That tonight was due to a manager not picking the best players he could have and sending a team on the park without a scooby what they were meant to be doing. He then failed to do anything proactive or reactive until his hand was forced.
Time for the SFA to admit they made, another, mistake. Cut our losses and get rid. McLeish is another yesterdays man.

Walter Smith was briefly courted but withdrew from the running after becoming frustrated at a failure to arrange a meeting. Despite widespread calls to interview Steve Clarke, who has enjoyed stunning success in the short term at Kilmarnock, McLeish had the firm support of the Scottish FA’s president, Alan McRae, and vice-president, Rod Petrie.
what have you been told before Rod....stay ******* away from the football side of things please

Hibs good run of form interrupted for this pish. Genuinely thought it was a friendly. What on earth is the Nations League??

So in other words it's another way for Scotland to find a way of failing.

Scotland are the reason I hate International breaks.
I simply groan in anticipation of the same old slog and results, with the very occasional decent game and result.
Give me the domestic game and my beloved Hibs every time over the international fayre.

To clarify the angle I'm coming at. Of course there's room for criticizing, I've done my fair share on social media after this terrible result and along the road previously many times. That's not the point I'm trying to make. Heaven knows here in the US one of the things that particularly drives me nuts, is that not only at the football games but in day to day life, is the happy clappy, big no no to criticism that exists. Football here is a great example of it, for anyone who hasn't been to a game in the US it would probably like me make you laugh and just shake your head in disbelief at some of the ongoings. Just a few side examples of that while they're in my head. I was at a game recently (Sacramento Republic, smaller team playing in the league below MLS) Anyway they were at home and they were 3-0 up. In the 85th minute they gave away a penalty. The guy stepped up and missed. A guy sitting 2 rows behind me stands up and frustrated says 'I can't believe you saved that Josh!! (Sacramento keepers name) We are already 3 up and thats just plain rude and we are so much better than that as a club! Their confidence is already shot tonight and they should at least of had that consolation goal'....Now before anyone thinks, clearly he was being sarcastic....nope. Sarcasm I've learnt (sometimes the awkward way) barely exists here in America. Anyway, could you image that going on at Easter Road?? One more. I was at a San Jose earthquakes game last week (MLS side) and oppositly they were 3-0 down. They were hopeless, passing, pressing, control, it was worse that the Butcher days I kid you not. We'd be bathing for blood for that the players were getting upto on the pitch, but it's all hot-dogs are socializing for the mass out here, mixed in with that 'you can do it, we shall never be negative to our team' over the top attitude. I'm getting sidetracked though...(and some people may be saying, but California-Hibs, you are doing the same thing saying no one should be negative. No, thats NOT what I'm doing...)
Back to Scotland. The point I was trying to make and that I've emphasized in previous Scotland games, is that when something positive happens, be it in the game, a certain call up, a result etc we are very very quick to not give it much due praise at all but then when the bad stuff comes along there is people who claim that they didn't give a hoot, out quick as a shot to fire the (rightful) negativity.
I always follow the Scotland threads on here. I'm a big fan of the national team. Yes, Hibs are out in front by a distance in my heart, but I still have a fondness for the Scotland team. I think when you see players playing in the English Prem, Championship etc you can't deny that theres some quality there. Some of the things you read about certain players are laughable. But anyway, I've saw threads on here while and after we've experienced the high of beating good opposition in the past such as France, Czech Republic, Ireland, Poland, Croatia, and it's like praise given through gritted teeth with so many, I just can't understand it when we have those types of results and performances! I agree they have been few and far between and recently its not great.
Listen, I first made my post today yesterday when we were 0-1 up. I said there was a lack of positive comments and in my opinion I'm right in saying that due to previous observations. I'm a firm believer of credit where it's due in life and trying best to be humble. We were rank rotten after we took the lead though and very very lucky it wasn't a big scoreline. I never wanted Gordon to go and certainly McLeish wasn't my first choice, but we are where we are. International Football isn't going to just go away. We'll have Hibs breaks till the end of time through a season, get used to it. Everyone has the right of to each their own, support the national team as you see fit. Not going to shy away from sharing my thoughts on the country I love...
That's my two cents

Another heroic Scotland performance...
Israels first win in 2 years....was always goig to happen tonight.
Ginger Jud@s can GTF!
Why he seems to insist on Souttar(who is murder by the way)....Is beyond me!
At this rate...We will soon be overtaking San Marino at the bottom of the coefficiency.
Jud@s needs to walk!
Our ranking must be plummeting with all these defeats!

I’ve been thinking about the Sir David for Scotland thing and concluded that I’m too biased to make a judgement. He’s sir David, scorer of the most Important goal ever and that’s all I really care about!

Is the problem that there are no coaches of any decent level that would want the job? We have the players the best Israel easily. Our coaches are dreadful.
