We're playing, and matching teams from the top pot of European football. Especially Portugal and Croatia. Ben Doak tore Man City's Gvardiol to pieces all night
Sitting 3rd in the group and a chance to stay at the top table or even qualify for the next phase is a huge credit to Clarke and the players
Need a kind draw next month for the WC Qualifiers
McGinn now only behind Law, Dalglish, Gallacher, Reilly for Scotland goals
I’ve told my missus the same thing.Quote:

Same here, I'd drive the old mare tae his hoose anaw.Quote:

What do you think tomorrow night's lottery numbers will be?Quote:

Don’t think we’ve had a player as quick or tricky as Doak for a long while. He was electric at times and played a huge part in the goal.
Dont think we were great and the red card obviously helps but have played a lot better and not won recently.
He is a throwback and was great to see him skinning the full back and getting to the bye line. Need more players to do that in the modern game.Quote:

Modric's yellow card tonight for complaining will see him out against Portugal
Think he was hacked off that he wasn't the oldest player on the pitch.Quote:

If that happens, and Croatia lose at home to Portugal with there being a three-goal swing, Scotland would be in the Nations League quarter-finals and among the top seeds for the World Cup qualification draw
mon the Stars, Align
just do it
Hoilett scored the winner for Canada tonight
Vente got the last 20 minutes for Suriname. Who'd have thought there'd be Hibs interest on both teams in a Suriname - Canada matchQuote:

We should probably only discuss this once he’s come through Tuesday’s game without ruling himself out for the rest of the season.Quote:

Whatever you thought of Hanlon he was just more natural moving the ball out to wide positions partly because he had that natural advantage on that side. Theres a good argument that itsa rare position because kids are pigeonholed into playing on the flanks and so never learned the position. At the top level, since Alaba and Koulibaly got old and went to the petrostate for mo money respectively, theres just not that many really good ones out there.Quote:

What a great job Michael O'Neill is doing with the Northern Ireland team. He has completely rebuilt it from the successful side that reached the euros 8 years ago (also under his management).
I've always wanted him to manage Hibs at some point. He was one of my favourite players in the 90s
Livingston 1 v 0 Falkirk .
He was in the running years back before allegedly seeing his hopes scuppered by a certain manager saying certain things about him.Quote:

Top of their group and just noticed they beat Bulgaria 5-0 last month. Incredible.Quote:

Someone on one of the benches is down, nae idea what happened. Big circle of staff surrounding them to block the camera
Think it’s the Hungarian bench. Commentators haven’t said a thing. Looks very serious though
Whole Hungarian team over … hopefully they are ok .Quote:

Could be BS, but the story has been around for a number of years.
Must have been his view was trusted by the tache. Can remember seeing an interview with O’Neill where he said he thought he had it had a number of very long interviews then was surprised when Fenlon announced. Said he didn’t get any real reason why he didn’t get it. Obviously Michael will have his interpretation around what happened around that time but would have liked to have seen him given a chanceQuote:

Yup and they muted sound a bit to cover it up......hence no point in showing the live feed till anthems had ended...Quote:

That's a clear penalty
Kane scored last 23 pens, some stat that. We could do with our penalty takers watching all those back.
Some pass and and control by Bellingham, until then I thought Kane had done nowt and looked a shadow of his former self.
nice goal Greece Finland 0 Greece 2
3-0 England
Ireland falling to pieces.
They were doing as well as could be expected until the red card/penalty.Quote:

Yep a good side playing below their real level in these current set of nations league matches, Scotland simarly find themselves playing above theirs, it's why I'm finding the media hysterics over Englands results in the competition hard to fathom, SKY Sports News was particularly cringe after the Greece result... Whereas Scotland have been slated despite being reasonable against Portugal.Quote:
