Fucks sake beat the big teams with inspirational performances and then put in a gutless display against a Georgian team full of kids. We really missed Scott Brown, Hutton and Naysmith tonight, players like Alexander, Murty just don't cut it for me. Although I must remember we Scotish never do things the easy way so will have to settle for a home win against Italy, as crazy as it sounds I'm still hopeful  |

I honestly think we have a good chance against the Italians at home. Tonight we were always going to struggle for me, it had disaster written all over it.
A packed Hampden shaking to the foundations may prove inspirational against the world champions!!
Keep the faith.

Keep the faith. I still remain positive strangely as most people wont give us a hope in hell. I think it will help us that we have to win, if we had only needed a draw we would have approached the game too cautiously. Hopefully Hampden will be a couldren again and the fans will roar us onto victory. They have still done us proud in qualifying no matter what and I would of took going into the last game with a chance of qualifying in a home game. So fingers crossed still onwards and upwards! |

In a strange way, losing may have benefited Scotland. If Scotland won tonight, then thet would have only needed 1 point to qualify. They probably would have set out their stall to keep a clean sheet, and try and score a goal on the counter.
Now they know they have to beat Italy to qualify, so they should go out with a positive attitude from the start

I agree I'm more positive having to win then if we had to turn up sit back and go for a point. We'd have blown that. The dream lives on, hampden can roar us on to victory. Now where can I find tickets?  ? |

Scotland were awful tonight problem was Fletcher and Ferguson didn't want to put a tackle in cos they were scared of missing the Italy match, McFadden almost tried to win the match on his own, Kenny Miller went missing, Murty and Alexander weren't up to scratch, or should I say aren't international standard and Steven Pearson is fucking shit.
Leaving Weir, McManus and Gordon to try and keep the Georgians out and Maloney trying to run at the Georgians at every opportunity.
We were doomed from the off tonight.
Hampden will be a different story.

fletcher looked fucking awful. murty should be getting the tea for that team. i thought the midfield and wingers were no where near enough to miller and mcfadden so they had no where else to go but wind down alleys filled with about 3 georgians (ohhh errr)

As the guys on Sportscene said if at the start of the qualifying period you had said beat Italy at home and you qualify 99.9% of Scottish fans would have taken that.
Our destiny is in our hands. With players like Brown, Hutton, Ferguson Fletcher, McFadden, Miller, Gordon all 100% (touch wood) and raring to go we'll have a chance.
In Fletchers defence that was his forst competitive game since the French away match, he's not fit, but he tried, that's all that counts in my book. May have been a mistake to play him, but it was a gamble worth taking.

To be fair he raises his game for Scotland, I think he does well for us. I can see why Man Utd fans aren't so keen though.
