Scotland playing like Brazil (at rugby).

Red and Blue Army!

I agree with you about why he played Trippier, but I don't agree that he should have started on the left. it's Trippier OR Walker for me in a back 4.

If we can play like we did for the first 20 mins more often, then bring it on. trouble is, once that period had ended we looked our usual bereft of ideas sideways-passing with no decent movement, whose only plan was to chip it over the top and let Stirling run onto it.

Professional? not convinced. Our goal included excellent Runs from Stirling and Phillips, and it's encouraging to see that for once we actually did that - I want to see more of it. Perhaps I'm being overly harsh and were we waiting for the right moment but for me the professional thing to do is to kill off this opponent.. they were there for the taking. Yes, we kept them at arms length the whole match, but one bit of class was all they needed to snatch a draw. Do this in the knockout stages at your own peril.

Thought Mings was excellent btw, Stones less so - but they complemented each other well. so happy to keep them both in. I Really hope that we don't revert to type when Henderson and Maguire come back in; their replacements were arguably our best 2 players.

It's a Good base to work from, and hopefully The most defensive minded we'll see. We've got such a promising bunch of players here, I just hope that we give them game time. Let them express themselves. After all, What's the point of bring all those youngsters if you don't?

I do get the thinking behind that lineup(still don't agree with it), but there's no excuse for it now we have the difficult 1st fixture out vs Croats of the way. I want to see us play with endeavour and imagination, go toe to toe with the likes of Italy and France - for more than the first 20 mins of a game. We are capable.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Classic Scotland they had chances but couldn't finish them. As for the keeper why was he so far off his line wasn't even in the 18 yard area. He got left off lightly by the BBC who blamed the player who lost the ball.

Well Nicola you can look forward to more of this if you ever get independence, having your Czechs bounced or is it Czech mate.

One more point

Very good, the first Czech goal was a great header he rose like a Salmond.

On the subject of the Euros, can anyone explain the talkSPORT ads currently appearing in the press with their presenters covered in what looks like custard?

I just don’t get it. Am I missing something?

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

It amused me that the player the ball came off to go to Schick was credited with an “assist”.
