'Scottish National Team' thread

[CritchSmile]

Wow. Where to start.

Scotland B team having a shocker.

Shinnie hasn't played left back for two years and it shows, Mckenna and Bates flat footed. Palmer playing the ball backwards to the keeper constantly when we are two goals behind. McGregor wasted in defensive mid while McGinn who just seems to run about doing fuck all is playing in the playmaker position. Armstrong fine, Burke fast but no brain. McBurnie an utter disgrace to professional football. Forrest anonymous.

[Walter Sobchak]

Just seen the score. Fucking joke. Gregory's B team comment is spot on.

Complete failure to take the game seriously.

[Walter Sobchak]

Mcginn is brutal man

Without a ref to con with his 'stick my arse out then fall over' routine, he's absolutely shite. Headless chicken.

[Shteve]

This is standard Scotland, did we not give all the Celtic players a wee rest in the early stages of the last qualifying group and give ourselves a mountain to climb? Kazakhstan are exactly the sort of team we can toil against especially away from home.

[Del-icious]

Armstrongs final ball has been woeful as well tbf.  Intelligent on the ball but doing nothing with it.

My favourite part of our play was when Palmer picked up the ball at the edge of the box, had a fair bit time to decide what to do but instead just instantly smashed it as hard as he could aimlessly into the box

Very pish team, we have players from some good leagues and this is what we get.

Strachan comparing this to 31-0 in the rugby

[Hank Scorpio]

We're not just losing to diddy nations away, we're getting fucking battered by them.

[Sarkozabal]

McKenna is nothing but a big huddy who scored a good goal once.

Hardly surprising that Shinnie isn't up to it at left back - all for him being in the squad but he's got to be there as a midfielder these days.

Surely you go to Barry Douglas if Robertson and Tierney are out?



Edit: should add that I'm not watching but it doesn't take a genius to work out that that horrendous line up isn't going to be up to scratch.

[Zizou]

It's hard to see even a glimmer of hope here. Abysmal.

[Walter Sobchak]

What a joke.

[Charlie Kelly]

Barry Douglas, completely forgot about him, why the christ has he not been called up? : 

Tom English is slating the entire team on the radio for having a shocking attitude.

[Zizou]

The attitude is a joke. Not a bit of urgency. Lose this and we are most likely done ffs.

[Zizou]

That English lad. Fucking terrible.

[Ray Winstone]

How can McLeish stay in a job after this

[Walter Sobchak]

The attitude has been rank from top to bottom. Call offs, 'can't play on astro'*, so on. Roberston offered to fly himself over apparently, but they said no. No one taking it seriously, thinking these are another bunch of jokers, we will stroll it, absolutely shite attitude.

*but train on it every day

[Zizou]

Shree

[Walter Sobchak]

SHREE

[Papin]

Not sure I've seen a worse Scotland performance

Campaign over

[Charlie Kelly]

  this is right up there with Scotland embarrassments.

[Zizou]

Just for some context - they've recently lost to Georgia twice, drew with Latvia twice and drew with Andorra.

Fair enough downing tools at a club, but in the first game in a qualifying campaign.
