Lots of good saves from McGregor and a free kick of the crossbar

Is any channel showing the U-21 match? Would rather watch the young boys against this France team

[blackpoolhibs]

Watching the under 21s on my mac and the big team on telly, 21s getting a lesson on how to keep the ball but still 0-0. Big team looking solid and scored a decent goal, maybe a bit fortunate to be winning but we will take it all day long. :top marks

Our keeper has made 3 great saves, and the french have been guilty of some terrible misses. If we were 4-5 down we couldnt really complain, the difference in quality is huge.

[blackpoolhibs]

French defender looks like he's taken a bad one maybe knee ligaments bringing Henderson down.

[RoYO!]

clear pen denied, hutton driving into box

[California-Hibs]

Scotland playing really well, still 0-1 up and could of had a few more in this 2nd half. Defending for our lives at times, but we are away to a top side (who finished above the Neatherlands in Euro Qualifying). People need to give credit when it's due and stop being so bloody negative, it's not good for your health!!

Cmon Scotland, doing us proud tonight!

971 and 972 are the adult channels.

did you see the wee trick Henderson did a couple of mins ago
a bit naughty

1-0 France, been coming for a long long time.

Great save mcgregor

[California-Hibs]

Brilliant save Mcgregor. 8 minutes left.

[Peevemor]

2-0 France. Well deserved

[California-Hibs]

Ooft, Philips with a beauty of a chance for 0-2

[blackpoolhibs]

2-0 France, howler from the keeper.

[California-Hibs]

I'm a big fan of Anya, he's been a real bright spark for the national team these past 2 years. Played well again tonight, not just with his goal (great nutmeg finish) but his overal drive and width he offers!

[Peevemor]

2-0 France, howler from the keeper.

True, but he's also made some great saves tonight.

[Peevemor]

Ryan Christie on for Henderson

[blackpoolhibs]

True, but he's also made some great saves tonight.

:agree: We are miles behind the french in quality tonight.

Can't complain with this result, even though it's only a friendly

[California-Hibs]

That's a great Scotland result Away from home especially. People are quick enough to moan about the national team but credits gotta be given when due. Remember the Czechs just finished above the Netherlands in their Euro group!

We've produced a few of these surprise results over the years, and for the size of nation we are and resources we have available, we really are no where near as bad as some will have you think. We don't have superstars but we have a strong team working ethic, with some decent players thrown in.

We had our usual 'so close hard luck' story in the Euro Qualifying, but we're getting closer and with the World Cup Qualifying Campaign ahead I'm confident with the group we're in!

Cmon Scotland.

He's being subbed as I write. He didn't see much of the ball (not his fault) but played pretty much as he does for Hibs.

No. Offside

France score again but ruled out for offside.

U21s getting a lesson tonight. Could easily have been 5 or 6 down.

Decent result that. Roll on Tuesday and the debut of McGinn.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Great night in Prague. Well done Scotland

[California-Hibs]

See very few are commenting about the decent result, yet you just know if it had been a reverse scoreline or worse, people would be out in full bashing mode. Folk seriously thrive on being negative and knocking down the national team. Its pathetic and it's part of the reason we get no where.

I think the fact that it wasn't on tv and that it was an utterly meaningless game has more to do with it. I don't know anyone who was bothered about this game. I forgot it was on.

Friendlies, although of course no where near on the importance level as qualifiers, are far from 'utterly meaningless'. I never knew it wasn't on tv back there. They broadcast it here in the US on ESPN 3 and it was a rather enjoyable watch especially knowing it was on a major network and broadcast to a large US audience.

[California-Hibs]

Also it unfortunately isn't more to do with it. It's there for all to see on any Scotland related threads on here, other message boards, folk you speak to in the street/pub etc that folk love to be negative about Scotland when the bad results come, but when the good ones come people struggle to say anything positive through gritted teeth.

Again, people thrive on negativity in Scotland and it's a pathetic and sad state of affairs.

[TheFall]

I really think that we would do well if we had a star player like Wales have, to go with our current organization and graft. A guy that can make the difference in a tight game but small countries only get a guy like that once every 30 years.
Been watching Scotland for since the early 70's and Kenny Dalglish is as close as we have gotten to such a player and even he was accused by Scottish supporters of not playing as well for his country as he did for his club!

[Steve-O]

It was on Premier Sports.

The next meaningless game next week is on Sky Sports.

Winning these games against teams 20 places above in the rankings all helps.

Maybe to do with a lifetime of failure. We aren't in a good place just now in Scottish football as our qualifying record shows and our ever plummeting coefficient. Give the fans something to get excited about then they will be there. Simple as. Also get the team spirit that Michael O'Neil has got for Ni then we might get somewhere.

If it wasn't for the goalie Scotland would have lost by about 20. Its a shocking squad full of has beens. Friendlies should be about developing younger players and improving our longer term chances. But they won 1-0 so everyone ignores how poot they were.

Isn't that the point of having a goalkeeper? Absolutely hate when people come out with guff like this, you have a world class goalkeeper to stop shots, you have top class strikers to put the ball in the net, they all have their jobs and are all as important as each other.

And this is my point illustrated to perfection. A typical Scottish football fans outlook on the national team after an impressive victory.

These friendlies aren't as 'meaningless' as they used to be... Friendlies, wrongly in my opinion, form a massive part of a countries world ranking points. Which down the line may make a difference in which pot you enter for qualifying.

Exactly. They are far from 'meaningless'! People need to educate themselves in the set up first before posting none sense.

Totally agree. Great result and a good performance from about 25 minutes on. Great to see Snodgrass back as he was a huge miss in the previous qualifiers. We should get a decent amount ranking points for that win as well. Hopefully we'll rack up some more next week against Denmark.

We don't if you're going to be there to educate us anyway preacher

The football was eye bleedingly awful from Scotland. We continue to go further backwards by playing the same one dimensional players. I don't look at results I look at dvekeoment. We are going backwards.

Great goalkeepers make points and points make prizes.

We play as we must with the resources available to our small country.
There are no great players waiting in the wings to transform us.
Accordingly we will have to get by on organization, graft and team spirit.
Last night was no different with the match plan well executed by solid professionals.
Well done Scotland.

[Col2]

Long weekend, weather improving and great opportunity for wall to wall Scottish and English football. And what do we get? Bloody pointless international friendlies played in pink strips and 1st gear training matches.

I might have to do some DIY around the house now or even worse go shopping.

I would never, ever put down our national team in any circumstances, why do it? you want to support another country?

A great result for the boys and a decent performance as well.

Was hoping the break away may do him some good , but if he plays doesn't score and gets subbed thats not going to do his confidence any favours
The next under 21 game is at st mirren park so would be good if he scored then ahead of our game there

Agree decent result against a team going to the Euros who we normally struggle to beat. As it happens although the last campaign ended disappointingly we did play some decent stuff in the earlier games.

The whole team just chased shadows all night not just Cummings, the manager could have taken all 11 off they were that far behind the French in quality.

it was the same years ago against the French at Pittodrie when we had players like Scott Brown in the Under 21's. 2005 or 2006 maybe? Our whole team just looked ordinary that night. Looks like we are no further forward.

To be perfectly honest i never really watch the under 21s, I decided to watch this game because of Henderson and Cummings.

The keeper who's apparently on Hearts books kept the score down to a respectable score, otherwise we could have been slaughtered.

The gulf in class was huge.

Have ben to a few under21 games because they play at st mirren park Was going to go to game midweek and probably still will
Have seen some decent performances in parts of games but i don't see a conveyor belt of young talent that look like breaking into full team
But thought Henderson would do well so will go and see how he gets on
