:whistle:
I’ve come out from behind the couch for a spell…….. I suspect I’ll be going back any time soon.:greengrin
Great save from Gunn
that leao is a great player
Fantastic save from Gunn
Portugal are rapid when they counter
goodness sake robertson
No idea how Martinez got another top tier national job after failing with Belgium.
ach send that mendez off i say
A lot of naive and poor, careless play from Scotland.
Pity they didn't start with Jair
Smash n grab evening .. soak up the pressure
Something Grant Hanley is very good at...oh wait!Quote:

McTominay on 11 goals, seven behind SJM
It would be great if we could hang on but we’re not even in the game in an attacking sense.
The sound on itv 4 is pretty poor, tho all of a sudden commentary is now audible...Quote:

Great half.
How are we still winning this 😂
Ht 0-1
wonder if wonder boy will be on for the 2nd half
Portugal think they're all world beaters. This has 0-2 all over it :greengrinQuote:

Rode our luck at times but so far so good.
Eye bleeding stuff from us. It’s the tactics that get results for so many in the SPFL. Strange thing is, if we hold on for a result we’ll be happy and Scotland will have got the monkey off their back from before the Euros kicked off. I predict a nail biting conclusion if we’re holding on. Whatever happened the the great players and entertainment of yesteryear 😥
Hes a petulant fud (with lots of talent) love how Ralston is not taking his crap at throw ins and just taking his time and aggravating himQuote:

That being said, this could still end up as a battering if they get one early.
Absolutely doesQuote:

Agreed. It’s that lack of entertainment I’m bemoaning not the fact Scotland are circling the wagons. Actually, despite being behind, Portugal are making up for it in flashes. If it stays like this I can be content with a result and having been entertained by their efforts to break us down.Quote:

If Scotland can hang on here I will genuinely be amazed. Sitting so deep and constant Portugal pressure. Going to be a long 40 minutes. We really deserve a result for once
Behave. More chance of Scotland winning 4-0 than him scoring a free kick.Quote:

FFS how many more times is Gunn going to chuck in a goal

gunn has to keep that out shirly
after a replay, bloody terrible attempt
It was on the cards.
Ah well
Poppadom wrists Gunn strikes again. He's played well tonight too
I hate Bruno.
Gunn should save that.
Gunn is terrible.
Gunn really the bast we've got ? Shirley there is keeper in the Celtic reserves that needs a few games ?
Good save earlier but Gunn had to have a stronger hand there. Poor
Think Gunn should’ve done better there. Weak hand
Fudge
Gunn must be the worst keeper we have had in years.
AwfulQuote:

Gunn is useless.
Come back in to it the last 5 mins
Gilmour is a class act.
McTominay is our best player by a mile these days.
unlucky McTominay
Much better Scotland
end to end now :wink:
McTominay and Gilmour have been brilliant tonight
100%Quote:

Yeah we have settled pretty well after conceding starting to get into their half. We look a threat when we do get in there.Quote:

another scotland corner
Scotland have found a bit of belief, instead of thinking these guys are world beaters.
Scotland have played better since Portugal equalised. Gilmour is the best footballer in the squad by a mile.

Ralston fires it wildly over, p@sh
Ronaldo really sucks the life out of the Portuguese attack
Fantastic footballer eh? Lovely to watchQuote:

This is the Scotland eveyeone hoped had turned up at the Euros.
What a difference.
Gilmour has been outstanding.
To be fair they have all done well so far. Though Gunn had a decent game before his attempt for the goal was soo poor.
What an absolute walloper Ronaldo is.
Looking forward to Ferguson being fit. Him, Gilmour and McTominay could be a midfield 3 for another couple of tournament cycles. All 3 playing at a high level in a country that values a technical approach can only be a good thing.
Gilmour is a Rolls Royce of a player, a player I'd find it difficult to believe anyone doesn't enjoy watching.
