I hear ya on Gilmour. I don't think 20 is too young but I get the scepticism. Would I have started him on Monday? Yes.
O' Donnell is not a wing back. Patterson is. No brainer on that front. Patterson, Forrest, O' Donnell, in that order.
Dykes is touted as this big hold up man. I think he won a total of 2 headers on Monday, he's not even a hold up man never mind a goal scorer. He's not got it at this level. Che Adams should start and if we go 2 up its Nisbet and Adams for me.
Oh and Tierney is our best player so will always be missed. Especially linking with Robbo down the left. I think Tierney is a good example of what can happen when a Scottish footballer doesn't drink alcohol, we must have lost a lot of players to the bevvy (Only half joking).

We are Scots, we dont expect much but we, unanimously, just wanted our best players on the park to give us the best chance to beat the only team in our group we could realistically go and potentially dominate in a must win match. Seeing the starting line up knocked the wind out of our sails before we even started (I was at the match).
Its the "staying safe", one up top, not playing the young boys approach that I cant abide.
Anyway, Friday is it own thing.
Italy had the right tactics tonight....punt the ball in the corner of the goal. Simple and effective.

Great effort, these real big days should keep you ahead!
Wish I had pals that wanted to ride 200 miles with me. I did a 150 (to England n back) and a 200 loop last year on my own and it was great but hard to psyche myself up for another one or more by myself for 12 plus hours. Think a 24 hour ride is one I need to tick off this year.

Ive seen a few Scottish boys in the scud, which is a new development. Im yet to see any chairs thrown, bars smashed up, water canons, running battles with police etc dont think thats ever happened with the Tartan Army, could be wrong.
I hear the the police have a dispersal order for groups gathering if they are causing bother....there is potential for an escalation later on. I hope not.
