Some result, and a great performance all things considered. World nation's league champions. Amazing.

And the fucking rank, miles offside but play on shite is fucking tedious too. Horrendous rule changes. Adults too childish to admit they got them wrong.

Fucking VAR has to go, it's fucking awful. Never a pen for Scotland, but because the ref gave it, we don't get the subsequent corner and it's a drop ball. Ref makes a mistake, Scotland punished. Fucking anti football pish.

Got a YouTube link here, but you have to go to Kiev to watch. Commentary actually an improvement. https://en.uaf.ua/article/46407

I think he's a decent player. Gallagher cheated us far more. Anywhere to watch this for those not premier enough (I take it, it's not possible to pay a one off?)?

It's been an interesting week or two. The spivs will be loving it Soros-style that's for sure. It's not an overnight phenomenon though, this has been decades in the making. Truss and friends are just the culmination of corporate ownership of politics finally thinking it's time to fully take over. The timing seems a little off it has to be said, but I wonder if they thought that this might be their only chance (for another 4-8 years of course). Expect the blame to be shifted to Russia, immigrants, part timers and benefits claimants for the 800th time (and people to once again buy it) and for the only path out to be the further sale of UK assets and services to the private sector. To be fair to Truss, she's doing what she's paid to.

I don't think this thread should have started until after the international break. Bad luck. I thought Taylor was suspended.

Is it not quite traditional to have a job before retiring?

Dykes and Adams both fall ill, paving the way for the return of Oliver Burke?

Kingsley is a great player, McKay not so much.

Great result. Strachan would have lost us that, as would many managers before. Good resolve and a deserved win. Tuesday will be tough with a few out by the sounds of things. Taylor and Ralston a definite downgrade. McTominay, I think, suspended.

Never an international footballer....

68, I was just informed by text as I was reading this by an equally surprised dandy. Mental.

Miovski scores in his nation's 2-0 loss to Georgia.

There probably aren't any available right backs better than Ralston and he's not as good as Hickey is playing there. Doig is a very good player in my opinion and as good an opportunity as any to get him involved in the squad. Having to choose over having a third choice left or right back probably isn't a decision Clarke spends a huge amount of time on.

Other than our game, he's apparently been very good for St Mirren, who are doing well I suppose. I'm very much for players in our league getting called up if they're on form and Clarke has generally been quick to do so, so even though I was glad to see the back of him I think it's fair enough. Right centre back is a problem position for us it seems, hence likes of Kingsley at the diets not being called up first. That's more than a little biased.

A quick Google search suggests he's making Joe Gomez, whoever that is, excited, whatever that means.

Not before time, Dons legend, Declan Gallagher recalled to the squad (and Josh Doig).

Some performance. Really battered them, and the result possibly flattered them. The 4-2-3-1 worked really well, that's the best I've seen McTominay for Scotland, and McGregor was excellent too. McGinn's airse just gets better every match. Fantastic to see Dykes getting a couple too, he deserves it. McKenna and Hendry didn't put a foot wrong all night either. Hickey was an improvement on Patterson, class. Great team performance.

Good half from Scotland, by far the better team. They should be down to ten. Total shocker of a challenge. The commentary team (and perhaps the ref) focusing on whether the other defender was getting back or not, but that's irrelevant. The challenge was reckless and out of control. He could have easily knocked the player out. It's weird that challenges of that body check nature are treated differently to a lunge with a foot, both are dangerous. Playing well though, McTominay and McGregor looking great in that 2 (4-2-3-1, we should have guessed) and Christie's movement been very good. Adams doing well and especially that run at the end.

Missed the applause. Guessing it was impeccable (mics turned down).

3-5-2 I think. McGinn maybe up front with Adams? Keep him out the way.

You'll make it in time for God save the king though. Hopefully those bastard Ukrainians will show some respect at our time of grief and sadness. I suspect they'll never understand what it's like to lose someone important.

Aye, that's maybe a good way to get the crowd not to boo through the applause, assign them a boo quota and make them aware that they may need to save some for later.

And remember to tune in early with your clapping hands at the ready.
