Porto, Hickey and Hendry looked solid - always backing each other up when necessary. When you consider we have Robertson, Tierney, Patterson, McKenna, McTominay, the defensive side of our team is pretty stacked.
Midfield isn't bad either!
Ach, I hate that feeling of positivity around the national side - it's usually followed by that feeling of being bitten in the arse...
Hard fought draw, had to concentrate for the full 90 mins as Ukraine were guaranteed to have a right go tonight, well done.
Well done guys .:aok:
Amazing achievement.
When do we play the really big teams?
Pat Nevin gushing about Ryan's performance. Sportsound at half time at their usual concentrating on Ryan and being critical about his positional sense, cannae help themselves.
If Carlsberg did International Breaks :cheers:Quote:

Was actually surprised how well Hendry and Porto played together. Thought both were excellent Porto slightly better cause he's a Hibs fan 😂
Yassss
Porto was outstanding, many are surprised the lad is class, never any doubt, he is Scotland Captain material with a bit of steel about him.
The wee hertz **** was good as well I have to admit, Henry pretty good, all around a good result, with the Englanders getting demoted or is it relegated I can never be sure nowadays.
:thumbsup:
When’s the play off final? Seen June 23 mentioned online but also March 2024. Surely can’t be as late as March 2024
March 2024 mate.Quote:

About time Boyle got a chance...oh wait 😁Quote:

Because the referee blew for the penalty before it went out of play.Quote:
