I honestly thought we were going to do it, we have a good record against them so was reasonably confident. Never thought it would be the gubbing all said it would be. Then when the rain gods even tried to help us along I could see it happening. Anyway, I agree, argies were very good today, and an NZ - Argie final would be very entertaining.
Referee spoiled it today. How he never went to tmo for that final decision is beyond me. Not convinced by the Maitland sin bin either. But fuck me, the Scotland football team have a lot to learn from the rugby team. Such passion and desire, they play as a brave unit. Good times are ahead for this team. What a performance
Another brilliant game at the millennium stadium. Sounds like an electric atmosphere too. My housemate predicted Argentina as dark horses for the final before the world cup started, could well be right.
Here's hoping Scotland can do something against the convicts...
There is some truth in rockets rant in the other thread so I'll stick to this game only. Derek is a fantastic manager but last night's team was bizarre and unbalanced. It summed it up when ward was taking a gk and the whole team were on the left hand side of the pitch. It was the wrong team. We needed play our best available team to build confidence. Logan and Rooney should have started. I remember the last blip we had and that was again down to poor selection and substitutions. He needs to get back to basics. I doubt the press had much to do with it, it was confidence and luck. As I said earlier, we could have got something there. Flood and Goodwillie were awful. Reynolds not ready and consi back to his bombscare self. Terrible, terrible defending. Globe Reds 5-aside team could have done better.
I was probably being overly critical, but I would say there was a lack or urgency at set pieces (when we had them). Our deliveries improved but not one player attacked them. Oddly enough, we could have draw if not won that game had McGinn / Rooney / Logan been more fortunate. Confidence is Definitely an issue and the changes point is a very valid one. We changed system 3 times tonight and it didn't do a thing. One thing we need to do is play our best Defenders from the start. They were a complete shambles tonight.
Well county definitely deserve this, but we have been awful. First time we've lost four on the bounce since 2011.... Not fucking happy. Not happy at all.
What.the fuck has happened to.this team? No desire, awareness or passion.
Really nervous about this one, we really do need a positive result. Put a stop to all those nut jobs that are trying to derail our season. Glad it's not on sky anyway, much prefer the BT coverage.
Looks like he's being released from prison and moved to house arrest. Served a year of his sentence in prison

The only reason why I can see why this is allowed to continue is because of the US and Israeli governments being tied at multiple levels along with post war guilt. However, this guilt is causing deaths on both sides and it has long disgusted me that the west do nothing about it. Israel clearly want to carry out genocide, the illegal settlers (whom I wish nothing but ill health and sadness for) are used as a sort of militia. One country that will never receive my money. If Palestine had some form of natural resource, you could guarantee that this wouldn't be happening. Such is the sadness and predictability of governments today.
Personally, I can't see it. Not because it's Deek, but it just sounds like people starting a rumour to try and cause as much chaos at the club as possible. They must genuinely be worried about us
