What a load of cobblers. Would have stayed in the pub were it not a school night.

Gutting.

Croatia won as well which doesn't help our now very very slim hopes.

Caldwell Die.

Thought the whole defense were murder inc Marshall. Wouldnt fault him for the goals but he hardly inspired the Chuckle Brothers with his dealing of crosses and his presence in general.

Da even get me started on George Burley. (Or Craig Bruley for that matter).

The whole team should be lined up and shot. Caldwell twice though, for reckless schoolboy defending that pretty much cost us the match.

Between this shower of shite and the Dons, it's going to be a LONG season.

Hopefully Caldwell will get pelters at Todders on Saturday. Fanny.

I'm not exactly Mr Football but I always thought the idea of a defensive wall was to cause an obstruction to the player taking the free kick, not leave a huge bloody gap right in front of him to blast the ball straight through....

the caldwells are being made to look like scapegoats by people who should know better.

Gary and Steven Caldwell are not the reason we lost. We lost because we didnt score (or look like scoring) any goals. They were always going to score a goal. Kenny Miller was never going to score. Scotland have a number of players can run around all day, but lets be honest so should most professional footballers. What Scotland players lack is a firm grasp of the fundamental techniques required to play football. Most of our guys had a touch like a wall and totally lacked composure on the ball, as soon as norway pressed, we panicked and gave the ball away. Our formation looked odd, alexander liked to get the ball out wide, rendering brown and fletcher holidaymakers when we attacked. Norway played route one football up to Carew, which meant that all pressure was being soaked by the defence and the holidaymakers were essentially out of the game.

it has to be said our players are not as good as the norweigans (hence our guys play in league 1 / championship, sphell)
the ref didn't exactly do us any favours, the norweigans are a better team than bottom of the table and are on a new wave of optimism/confidence with mr norway returning as boss etc

Granted, you would still have expected a draw or win at the least.

It wasnt through the wall and if it had not came off Scott Brown i'm sure Marshall would have at least been able to parry it. Brown could have probably charged it down a bit quicker. Though pretty unlucky at the outcome.
