Still would prefer penalty deciders to be best of 11 rather than 5 so it is a test for all players in the team.

10 if player sent off.

Need to use ABBA system. Kicking first is a fairly important advantage right now

[Smartie]

While I don’t necessarily disagree with all your points, Smartie, you’ve made a fair few definitive conclusions for someone that’s only watched one Scotland game in ages!

It was a bit of a cock-up if he refrained from making as many changes as he wanted to ensure of the win.. then got beat by Northern Ireland. But the poor performances and results have tended to come in friendlies.

Hopefully Hickey is back fit shortly. Cadden quite rightly won’t be in Clarke’s thinking. Playing himself into a position where he’s a guaranteed starter for Monty would be good work on his comeback.

I used to be in the travel club, went to all the home games and a few of the away… but I’ve found myself losing interest hugely. The last game I went to was the Ukraine game a couple of years ago albeit I’ve watched some games on tv since then.

Part of the reason I lost interest was that our start to qualification was so good that it felt like qualification has been in the bag for ages do there’s not really been much to play for.

My problem tonight was that it felt familiar. It’s all the same players. It’s still a problem at RB. It’s still a problem up front, and these problems go back more than 2 years. It’s only a friendly tonight so no big deal but it feels like Clarke’s teams have a habit of building your hopes up then just turning these surprisingly abject performances in from time to time (the Euros home games, the Ukraine game etc).

Funnily enough after all that, I thought the host on the BBC tonight was a bit desperate to turn it into some sort of disaster when I thought McFadden had the right perspective - poor performance, poor result but it was only a friendly.

[Bishop Hibee]

On one of the three Edinburgh TA buses heading back along the M8. Terrible performance and the only one who gets pass marks was Gunn who had nothing to do except pick the ball out the net.

Only decent part of the evening was booing GSTK.

Kevin Nisbet must be pulling his hair out - take a chance on me, he must be thinking.

[Hibrandenburg]

None of them get pass marks for me tonight - every one of them poor.

Patteron's movement in this second half has been decent - getting up and down the line well and into good positions, but his final ball is on a par with mine!

Players and coaches should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

He was absolutely guff last night. His crossing was abysmal and he couldn't even make short passes or pass his marker. Was really dire to watch.

[Andymac85]

Just listening to the Beeb podcast this morning, they are absolutely obsessed with Shankland being first choice striker. I think he is a really good SPL striker but it just doesn’t translate to international games. He is painfully slow, and his other attributes don’t make up for that at the highest level. He’s had 3 pretty decent chances over 2 games and scored none. He’s not the answer.

They only have such a love in for Max Headroom because he plays for one of their cosy, cliquey teams, would be the same if he was at Aberdeen. Good record in Scotland but miles off being an international striker we rely on at the Euros.

Adams and Dykes have their own limitations but both playing at a better level.

We really need to find a young gun striker coming through the system soon or we will continue to struggle.

It's looking a bit late for that now. I wondered if Clarke might have tried out someone else in this camp. It was all very predictable last night and it could be handy to have a winger option to bring on such as an in form Mikey Johnson or Harvey Barnes if fit and willing.

I’m not sure, I think they have a point this time, he’s the best finisher we have at the moment I don’t think that can be argued, can’t expect a player be it shankland or Nisbet to come in and hit the ground running when called on once in a blue moon, this run of friendlies should be a time where you can give guys like that a run, game against Netherlands was always going to be tough going a second crack at the whip might have been just what was needed but instead we get dykes who’s managed 4 goals this year in that higher level he’s playing at, just not good enough

He's currently Scotlands best striker though. Can't just materialise a striker with pace to burn and a knack for goal.

Dykes or Adams don't score enough to be main strikers.

[Hibernian Verse]

I didn't understand why he played Dykes for 70 mins in a game where we need lots of movement from our front players. I felt Adams should have started through the middle.

[Pretty Boy]

If Shankland played for Hibs we would all be screaming for him to start. He has his limitations but he is a goalscorer and a couple of missed chances doesn't change that.

He's not the all round package, he's not the difference between going deep in the Euros or not but he's worth another chance or 2.

Scotland seems to have this habit of ignoring goalscoring domestic strikers stretching back years. Leigh Griffiths the season he was on fire at Hibs and beyond being a notable recent example.

[Rumble de Thump]

He's certainly been the most prolific of our strikers at club level, albeit at a lower level than our other striking options play at. It would be good if he can get a move to a league with a better standard of opposition to properly test himself.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Shankland should 100% be on the plane. He's the guy you turn to after 75 mins when chasing a goal or 2. Wouldn't be starting him though

Gordon has now been capped by England, so it's down to three.
England blessed with lots of good right-backs but Livramento is likely to get a chance sooner rather than later.
All gone quiet on Anderson after his swift withdrawal in September. He's still young and it could happen after the Euros.

Absolutely we seem to just leap on players who are playing at a supposed higher level no matter their performance at that level dykes is hardly covering himself in glory as a championship striker, neither really is Che Adams with 10 goals, Shankland should have been given another start last night it’s not even as though we where going long to Dykes and that was the reason he was in, we’re not going to find a striker persisting with the same old in meaningless games

Gordon can still play for Scotland as friendlies don't count as representative games. There must he more players out there that qualify for Scotland so we need to be working on this.

I don’t think you can ever call Germany the Dark horses. They are and have always been quality.

They have just had a blip for a few years. We will have to be at our absolute best to get even a point from Germany on their home turf.

Agree, funnily enough he reminds me of John Robertson, banging them in domestically but when he has to go up a level you could see it was a step too far. The love in for him from the media is because they all think he's off to Der Hun in the summer. And they may well be correct.

It's been technically adaptable midfielders and wingbacks for the last 15-20 years in youth football. Strikers are like Dylan Vente, a bit obsolete.

I don't disagree, against the better teams, but are Northern Ireland defenders any better than the bang average SPFL defenders Shankland comes up against every week? I think he deserved to start last night. It was tailor made for him to get a goal or two and have his confidence high for the Euros which would only help Scotland.

Yes, don't disagree that last night should have been a good level for him. But how much would it tell us about him when we play Germany in the opener. I think Clark will go with tried and trusted for that one, and I agree with him. It'll be the biggest occasion these Scotland players will ever play in, including Champs League etc. The focus and media hype will be off the scale. It's not a game to play a domestic striker that lacks pace and has very little experience. I'd bench Shankland and bring him on around 60-70 minutes when we're 3-0 up and coasting. 😁

Neither Dykes or Adams even got into a position to miss a chance. They’re supposed to be playing at a higher level than a few of the NI team . You wouldn’t have known it.

[Phil MaGlass]

Shankland should definitely be playing, he should be our main striker with Dykes knocking the ball down for him.

[Col2]

Harvey Barnes was my hope for a different quality. Back from injury but doesn’t sound like it’s on Clarke radar.

Going to Germany game and they look very good in last two games. But it’s Scotland and we should expect the unexpected.

I see we missed out on Anthony Gordon also. He would have given us a bit of flair. I do sometimes think we miss out on naturalised British players i.e. those born outside the UK who become British Citizens. As England is not a nation, all of these players could technically play for any of the Home Nations. If I remember correctly John Barnes could have played for Scotland. I think we will have to spread the net a bit more, as, as someone else mentioned there are players in the current squad who are not of the quality required.

Not sure, they are all mis-firing. As one of the commentators on Viaplay said last night, we need a striker with Adams’ speed, Shankland’s domestic strike rate and Dykes’ presence. Hope we have Victor Frankenstein on speed dial!

Like a creation of a Scottish Haaland ! . The German game I'd expect Scotland not to have much possession of the ball and to be under pressure at times in it .

I'd say as a neutral probably the striker that works the hardest and is the best at holding up the ball with Mctominay and Mcginn hopefully getting chances to score .

I don't think the friendly results are a major concern and while it's tough group I'm sure Scotland will be right up for it when the time comes .

At the moment, I'd probably say Adams. He is probably the worst of the three in terms of finishing but he does a power of running and I think we play better when he plays.

Shankland will score goals but he looks quite slow for that level.

Dykes, I think draws us into just punting the ball up to him but he does bring in others (McTominay, McGinn, etc.) into the attack fairly well.

With what many of you are saying about none of the Scottish strikers being prolific at international level that would be all the more reason to try and get your midfielders involved and contributing on the goal front again which is why I thought Dykes might be the best option for the German game .

[Smartie]

When Armstrong took on and beat a defender for pace on the outside I think that was the first time in the match we’d managed that-about 10 minutes to go!

I saw a bit of criticism for Armstrong on here - I thought he looked very lively when he went on, he got the better of his man out wide a couple of times, something all our players had failed to do for 75 minutes plus.

Armstrong making a lively contribution off the bench was possibly the only thing of a positive nature that Clarke may have learned last night. Ferguson wasn’t too bad when he went on either tbf but hardly set the heather on fire.

[Smartie]

I'd play Tierney over Robertson every time.

Me too.

It would be an extremely brave decision and I don’t think that with Robertson being captain and there being a good atmosphere around the camp that it would even be realistically possible for Clarke to do it..

But it makes sense. We can play a better formation and we can have a better player in that position.

The situation reminds a bit of England a few years ago when the clamour was for Jamie Vardy to get capped. He got a couple of games at the world cup as a substitute for Kane and the difference was immediately apparent. Kane was world class and Vardy wasn't. (Having said that Vardy would get a game for Scotland).

To be fair, and I agree with the comparison to Kane but Vardy did play just under 30 games for England and scored 7 goals I think, still not too bad considering, especially if a chunk of those games were as a sub

[Springbank]

Not in terms of style of play, but just when it comes to where the goals come from, i think we are geared to be more like Jack Charlton's Ireland side

He had guys with limitations at 9 but their job was to drag the game up the park, and leave space for the goalscoring midfield runners (Houghton etc) similar to McGinn & McTominay

Fwiw I'd try Lewis ferguson at rwb, as patterson is beyond homeless. I can see ferguson doing a Craig burley out there

Can't say I remember the Jack Charlton side, not sure if they played with just 1 upfront or not, but it takes a very high level 9 to do what you've described at the top end of international football. Guys that can do that effectively and consistently are worth tens of millions.

Unfortunately I have a feeling our lack of a top level striker will be our undoing at the Euros. I'm sure we'll give it a good go though.

Would like to see Josh get a spot in the squad next season to try and show what he can do. He seems to be hitting a half decent stride now after a slowish start.

[cabbageandribs1875]

I cant see him back at Hibs soon to be honest, he's not at the moment anywhere near the quality we want and will get hopefully, and will learn more and improve more i'd have thought by playing more games like he is in tonight.

I suspect you're right. But I think if you were to offer me him in Jair's place next season for example I would take it in a heartbeat. It all of course hinges on what our actual recruitment looks like.

[Smartie]

Another season on loan somewhere where he plays every week would be in Josh’s best interests imo.

He hasn’t really had that this year, although it’s good he’s getting game time now and seems to be putting a decent run of form together.

I hate all that beating the ground as if in agony you see so often now. Whoever it is, time to start issuing yellow cards for it when it's that obvious.

Is it wrong that i'm anticipating DUFC v Raith more than our game to day :tin hat:


I think its the real sense of Jeopardy involved - and that its very unpredictable what the outcome will be. deserves to be on at a time it could be a live match. Just shows what a difference real competition in a league can make when the finances a a bit more even (I know united are probably 3 x budget... but compared to the 15/20 x budget in Prem its small beer)

[Tyler Durden]

Not sure how Newcastle are getting a pen there. Gordon offside in the build up. The West Ham player makes a tackle but that shouldn’t be enough to consider Gordon to be back onside IMO.

[WeeRussell]

Aye? Completely disagree.

I couldn’t believe it took so long or that the commentators made it seem like there was even a decision to be made once it was getting reviewed.

Or indeed that Phillips was complaining after. I don’t think he’s meant it, but they’re always getting given these days.

Phillips is in control of the ball, and looking to clear it. Gordon get his foot around and gets kicked, nae doubt about that, but Gordon never has the ball. He never touched the ball. It’s Phillips who’s impeded in my opinion.

I see where you’re coming from. I think though once Phillips doesn’t hit the ball when trying to clear it and boots Gordon instead, it’s then a foul.

Perhaps unfortunate for Phillips/clever from Gordon but ultimately has to be a penalty in my opinion.

[JohnM1875]

Wow!! What a ****ing game!

[supermcginn]

[Musselbound]

I think it's because he's had a couple of injuries. Clarke needs to get on the phone ASAP to see if he's interested. Could be the difference between a mediocre or decent Euros for Scotland.

I think Clarke said previously, or atleast hinted towards it, that he wouldn't be the one reaching out and if Barnes wanted it he'd need to make the first move.

I'd just bite the bullet and ask him. He's the one type of player we really need.

[green day]

I think he's trying to convince him, think he prefers England
He's no getting in that England team for a long time imo.

[Since90+2]

I think he's trying to convince him, think he prefers England

He's a very good player but I don't think he'll get in that England squad. They have so many brilliant attacking midfielders. Even if he did, it would be a token squad involvement, he's never going to play in any meaningful game for them.

They have yes, which is why they need to sell this summer before signing. They've only been "constrained" because rules exist. They're pushing them to the very limit.

Isak was 70 million. While he's great and worth that, hardly cheap.

The boos rang out at Pittodrie as the half-time whistle blew.
After they took the lead on four minutes, Aberdeen have been second best, completely outplayed by a County side who will fancy their chances of returning north with all three points if the game continues in the same fashion after the break.

That’s no a pen

It was as clear a penalty as you’ll see.

Can’t believe anyone thinks either Newcastle penalty was wrong. Come on one, they’re both 100% pens.

[easty]

Can’t believe anyone thinks either Newcastle penalty was wrong. Come on one, they’re both 100% pens.

For me, Phillips is the one who’s fouled. The player in possession goes to kick the ball. Opposition player swings his leg around from behind him and impedes him from being able to kick it. If Gordon plays the ball away and gets kicked I’d say it’s a pen, but he doesn’t get anything on the ball. Gordon’s involvement stops the player in possession being able to play it.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Surely up to Phillips not to kick the other guys leg. It is an unusual one as Gordon clearly playing for a pen by putting his leg in and not really trying to play the ball. Think a pen was right.

I thought that too but I can also see a foul in it for NU - it’s an odd one coz you can look at it two ways. Like one of these pictures where you can see two images depending on how you look at it.

Subjective decision which had to go against one on team - bet you if it had been 3-3 at the time it would have gone for WHU.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Losing faith. That Chelsea pen v Burnley dear me. Not only that but a second yellow and a red. Was that really an offense that meant the guy cannot continue in the game.

A foul should be when someone gains a deliberate advantage through an act of cheating. It's now all about gamesmanship. Even the Gordon pens yesterday he just tries to get a foot in there on both occasions, it's crap.

[JohnM1875]

Don't think it was a penalty for Kyogo there, but honestly believe if that's against a Rangers player it's given. That's the stage it's got to for me. Feel like a lunatic.

A dangerous disgrace. There should be no compromise with safety. Stop the game and evacuate the stadium every time. If that is somehow considered impractical or dangerous you have to ask how there is a safety certificate in place at that tip of a stadium.

[Jim44]

Brendan Rodgers was quoted saying ‘there is no way I won’t be making input to the game’. He is in the stand with a coach who is wearing an earphone who will be sending instructions from Rodgers. Is this a loophole for a suspended manager or is it actually allowed by the SFA or SPFL? I read that rules vary from one association to another.

Not a criticism, and not saying it doesn’t mean they won’t get something. Just an observation that it’s different to some recent Arsenal games where we’ve seen them dominate possession and look brilliant.

As I say, completely to be expected.
