Ullevaal Stadium, Oslo, 12/8/09
It’s ages since a Scotland match. I’d almost forgotten I was posting about them.
I didn’t see all the game as I’ve been away. (Updates on that over the next few posts.) I was listening on the radio in the car, though.
So a right good humping, but it’s been coming since this group started. I have never been sanguine about our chances of qualifying and feared for the consequences if by some miracle we did.
Hearing the line up I wasn’t too confident and we didn’t seem to be in the game much even up to the sending off which, of course, killed it.
No mystery. We just don’t have the players any more. I don’t think the best manager in the world is going to change that.
But it was also crazy to play a qualifier before the season started in the SPL and Premier League.

Never mind the finals; I miss the days when we used to qualify for play-offs.

Only one thing I’d disagree with here. We were very much in the game prior to the sending off. In fact, we had 2/3 possession of the ball for the first half an hour. I also thought we looked the team more likely to do something.
Having said all this, it was another guess the formation job…
