Aye, he might as well not have been there against Croatia. I'd try him up front with Jordan Rhodes, what's the worst that can happen?

he played alongside Doyle for most of Saturday, definitely benefited from being able to drop deeper

are there going to be different commentaries tonight?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 18:31 (eleven years ago) link

Who do you have in Englandshire? We've got Derek Rae and Alan Brazil on STV.

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 18:38 (eleven years ago) link

Jimmy Hill and Nick Griffin

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 18:39 (eleven years ago) link

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 19:16 (eleven years ago) link

Within an ace of fucking it

Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 19:29 (eleven years ago) link

Former England defender Danny Mills on BBC Radio 5 live
England 0-1 Scotland
"Scotland now have something to protect, to give them the belief to really throw themselves into challenges.

"If you think back to Chelsea v Barcelona, it is very hard to score against well-organised teams who sit deep.

"Scotland are no mugs, it will be difficult for England to break them down."

kenny fuckin' miller eh

Handball but get in ya bass

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:06 (eleven years ago) link

Fuckin

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:07 (eleven years ago) link

I might use my mod powers to delete all negative comments about Miller upthread :-)

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:07 (eleven years ago) link

he made Cahill look a right dick there

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:07 (eleven years ago) link

Also lolz @ Alan Brazil's use of the verb "bing" to describe Miller's shot.

(PS I have Snodgrass to score at any time. Any chance we could get a third?)

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:08 (eleven years ago) link

oh well

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:10 (eleven years ago) link

Baws.

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:11 (eleven years ago) link

You can see the shite running out of Whittaker every time anyone goes near him.

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:14 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah if we'd scored then that would've been on him, couldn't clear even when he wasn't under pressure

Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:17 (eleven years ago) link

Ah ffs but that's actually heartwarming

Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:27 (eleven years ago) link

Gah. Pleased for the lad though.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:27 (eleven years ago) link

Now that's got to warm the cockles of your heart

Hamburglar's smiling too (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:28 (eleven years ago) link

Whole game turned once England realised they were taller than us.

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:28 (eleven years ago) link

My cockles are distinctly unwarmed, tbh. Sorry.

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:28 (eleven years ago) link

Trying to work out who was marking Lambert. There doesn't seem to be anyone even looking at him.

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:30 (eleven years ago) link

Everyone moaning about miller pre-match when despite his limitations he remains the best scottish striker smh. Anti-mls bias, he's been bossing it for the whitecaps of late.

tell it to my arse (jim in glasgow), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:33 (eleven years ago) link

One good goal doesn't negate years of getting picked for doing nothing but chase hopeless causes imo

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:37 (eleven years ago) link

I am slightly terrified that he's scored his way into staying in the team.

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:38 (eleven years ago) link

Oh look the England thread got bumped. Yous only post when you're winning :)

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:38 (eleven years ago) link

Just trying to keep the crowing over this particular England victory where all yous might see it tbh

Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:40 (eleven years ago) link

Does 'good pro' necessarily also mean 'a bit crap'? Because Kenny Miller's a good pro, you can't deny.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:43 (eleven years ago) link

winning was good while it lasted but tbh England's subs > Scotland's first XI

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:44 (eleven years ago) link

Townsend's just given MOTM to Welbeck. Who's it gone to on Scottish TV?

Hamburglar's smiling too (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:46 (eleven years ago) link

Hutton youre still pickin hutton

darraghmac, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:48 (eleven years ago) link

from hero to zero. That was an open goal no?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:49 (eleven years ago) link

ikr xp

Both full backs are a fucking nightmare

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:49 (eleven years ago) link

and again. Rickie Lee's packed a full international career narrative into his 20 mins

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:50 (eleven years ago) link

Bounce or deflection right beforehand but he should stick the next one away

darraghmac, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:50 (eleven years ago) link

Exceptionally enjoyable, as England games go. And not* because we won.

*Only

Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:51 (eleven years ago) link

Oh well. England miles better in truth but we done good there.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:51 (eleven years ago) link

Didn't hear them pick a MOTM but I'd stopped listening to Alan Brazil jizzing all over Englandshire's finest a while back.

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:52 (eleven years ago) link

No motm named on STV. Welbeck probably right, or maybe Walcott. Miller best player for Scotland.

Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum Traboo, Traboo, Traboo (onimo), Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:53 (eleven years ago) link

He was putting lids on beetroot jars 15 years ago

Well, yeah? 15 years is a long time you total ass

darraghmac, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 20:53 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, it's way more interesting and impressive that 6/7 years ago he was a 25 year old League 1 player
