They aren't United fans.McTominay not having a good game and United fans pile on. Predictable.

Yes yes I know, remember when Darren Fletcher was young something something etc etc.Don't be ridiculous.
Sorry, i should have said I'm listening on Radio 5. Pat Nevin is a lone second fiddle.The whole BBC commentary and studio team are Scottish.
They're always trying to put United players down and hype up rival players. It's the same story in every international tournament since I signed up on here.Most of our fans love it when our players fail. The caf is full of it and this is actually one of the better United communities.
He's only badly exposed because of the deflection. If Scotland had retained possession or even turned the ball over closer to the Czech area the goal wouldn't have happened.If he was on the edge of his own D, maybe a few years further, I’d agree and he’d be in a position to cover either eventuality but he’s gone way to far up and has left himself badly exposed.
One of the reasons those goals are so rare is because there generally isn’t the opportunity to try then because even sweeper keepers position themselves close enough to their goal to quickly get back whilst also being far enough out to sweep up.
why don’t you judge him on how he plays for United. Or do you slag him off for his appearances in a United shirt as well?How on earth does Mctominay start for United. He looks like one of the poorer players in a very average Scotland team ffs!
Yep game completely passed McTominay by. Of course he's had to sit on Soucek but very little going forward. McGinn at least tried to get around the pitch and make things happen, they really should play him as number 10 due to lack of options and bring Gilmour in for Croatia game but will be too late by then you'd imagine as their GD will be really fecked after England game.They have a few decent footballers in midfield, Mctominay isn't one of them
they haven't been shite.Scotland... as expected, a bit shite.

Respectfully disagree I’m afraid, a quick turnover in possession isn’t rare enough to be essentially discounted and there’s no real advantage to him being that far up. 15 yards further back and he can cover both situations.He's only badly exposed because of the deflection. If Scotland had retained possession or even turned the ball over closer to the Czech area the goal wouldn't have happened.
Clarke's a negative coach.I don't get why Adams and Gilmour (still not coming on) didn't start.
Surely Che Adams is a better player than that Dykes lad.I don't get why Adams and Gilmour (still not coming on) didn't start.
Fairplay to his 3 good performances all season yeah. Playing in Scotland team shows exactly his level. Should be one of Ole's task to work on his positioning and turn him into somewhat useful CB. For CM he's too passive, too slow and not proactive enough along with sub par technique for a footballer, let alone United player. But for a CB he can't be worse defensively than Lindelof or worse in the air and is decent carrying the ball out..Did you watch him in the EL final? That's why he starts for United. What better options do we currently have?

I expect the England vs Scotland game to be really tight. I don’t see many (if any) goals being scored.Yep game completely passed McTominay by. Of course he's had to sit on Soucek but very little going forward. McGinn at least tried to get around the pitch and make things happen, they really should play him as number 10 due to lack of options and bring Gilmour in for Croatia game but will be too late by then you'd imagine as their GD will be really fecked after England game.
I added to it to clarify that the turnover is the root cause of the goal, not Marshall's postion.Respectfully disagree I’m afraid, a quick turnover in possession isn’t rare enough to be essentially discounted and there’s no real advantage to him being that far up. 15 yards further back and he can cover both situations.
As an aside that last post of mine shows I shouldn’t type more than a single paragraph on my phone.
Was just thinking the same thing. Long balling it, hit and hoping. There's a lot of heart on this pitch but a lack of quality.Half these scot players can barely control a ball
What happens when your halftime snack is a deep-fried Mars bar.Scotland are playing with zero urgency.
