There wasn't all that much between these two sides... a draw would have been a fair result... I still find it hard to accept that in a game of such importance, we somehow contrived to lose a goal with hardly 1 minute on the clock.... and that despite the fact that we kicked off.... Ach well - we've got real footie to look forward to now...starting this Saturday.. There can't be many more mouth-watering fixtures in Scotland that ICT vs St Mirren... :023:

NURSE...NURSE... Can you attend to this chap (above) please...? He's completely lost the place.. :crazy07:

Your shortlist stinks more than an ITV phone in competition.... :020:

This is, of course, a huge source of consolation for all of Scotland's long suffering supporters... We'll be watching the fixture with Croatia with intense optimism..... :023:

Alan Hutton for me.... He's come on leaps and bounds since he came into the Scotland squad..... Hard to believe he's only 22 years old....

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat Please put more pennies in Marius's hat; If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do, If you haven't got a ha'penny then God bless you!

Oh... Ok... Dan - I'd also be delighted with 8th place this season.... :021:

Kind of... :020: Although our game was over after 1minute 15secs.... :008:

I couldn't see why it was adjudged offside... Also Ferguson's goal was reckoned by co-commentator Davie Provan to be half a yard offside

That free kick at the end was a bl0ody joke.... I still can't believe the way Scotland started this game - especially as we kicked off.... In a game like this you don't start hoofin' the ball up the park right from the off - you keep possession in your own half - give everone a touch on the ball.... let the keeper handle it - Craig Gordon's first touch was to pick the ball out the net.... :020:

Still can't quite follow dan's drift here.... Does he mean the admission prices are a waste of money, or is he referring to a certain player's wage demands...? :024:

How come you've got Craig Brown and we've got Davie Provan..? (Sky Sports)

Bestards feckin scored before we were ready.... Shame that - Scotland had a couple of decent chances - from Hutton's header - and the from the corner in the last minute of the first half headed off the line... Not over yet though.... :024:

And your point is...?

Not long to go now.... What is everyone doing to while away these last few nerve-ridden hours..?

Barry Ferguson could be a key man today... He's scored some terrific goals for Rangers, but I can't think of many for Scotland - Remember our first league game this season..? He destroyed us that day... If he scores one more this afternoon I'll almost forgive him for that... :014:

Are there many peasants in Bucharest, oh Wise One...? :024:

THE INVERNESS COURIER Court report... Johndo Mackenzie, an unemployed hospital porter, from Chorley, Lancashire was today sentenced to 40 hours community service at Inverness Sheriff Court after admitting being drunk and disorderly at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium on Saturday September 22nd. The sentence was later reduced to 20 hours community service after a strenous appeal by the community....

That's right... what he was trying to say was that Rossco's one of the nicest guys in the game, and this was nothing more than a minor and uncharacteristic misdemeanour... He went on to try and say he really loves Rossco dearly..... :014:

On the radio he said he (Tokely) was completely out of order - he let his team-mates down, he let the supporters down, he let himself down... From memory I'm pretty sure he also described him as a disgrace.... I kind of formed the opinion he wasn't best pleased with him... :023:

:015: :015: I clicked on to it to point it out to my wife, in the faint hope she'd find it stimulating.... :rolleyes02:

:015: :015: :015: Brilliant.... Love the policemen with the huge truncheons...!!

Re-reading this thread is fascinating reading indeed.... I wonder if some of those who contributed to it, might re-read it - and consider if their comments were well judged... Some clearly thought Marius would score an average of about three goals a game, before moving on to Man Utd or Arsenal...!! I would also suggest CaleyD's fears, quoted above, have proved to be quite well founded.....

Hope you enjoy your trip to Austria/Switzerland, Dee.... :022: That would be a better choice anyway, whatever the outcome - Some very strange folk in Canada... :024:

The success Brew enjoyed early on had more to do with his playing skills than his managerial skills... that coupled with an ability to motivate those around him whilst on the pitch... It would probably be fair to suggest the Dons are missing him on the field just about as much as we are....
