I’m not confident after watching our defending in the friendlies.

A little and with a little bit of fisticuffs in the German camp maybe they aren’t as harmonious as us.
But it’s the hope that kills as we both know from watching our domestic clubs 😉

But it’s the hope that kills as we both know from watching our domestic clubs 😉 I think the results since qualifying means level of expectations amongst fans is zero and hope is very low - which is good as far as I am concerned. A million miles away from the hope and expectation levels in 1974 and 78 and even 86 and 90. Maybe just because we are all older and wiser but I am looking forward to watching the games this time around without any expectation whatsoever.

They should just send that thug Porteous home now, fucking arsehole. 3-0 down to 10 men.

Jeez that was a pathetic performance - shameful, really. Pass it around the back until the Germans close us down then get the keeper to punt it 30 yards straight to one of their players. Porteous showing his true thuggish colours (shocking challenge deserving of a lengthy ban) but he's just one of a number of shit defenders completely and embarrassingly out of their depth. Midfielders not had a kick, wee forward guy not seen (not his fault).
So there it is, tournament laughing stock and we're only 45 mins in.
FFS!

And Porteous after that leg-breaking challenge does his usual head holding feigning injury shite, calling on the medical staff to treat HIM. The doctor should have just certified him insane and led him off in a straightjacket.
And there you have it. Full time, zero shots at goal. Humiliated.

The score line flattered us tonight and that performance was shocking. I’ve no idea what the game plan was.
Switzerland up next and that could be another hammering.

The game plan seemed to be: force them to cone inside and let our centre back from Watford mop up anything that is miscontrolled by the Barcelona forward. If we restrict them to shots from distance our goalkeeper from Norwich should cope with anything that gets through. Do that for 88 minutes then try to sneak an own goal.

Painful performance. Frustrating that the team seem to be writing it as a one off. We were shite so we have to be better.
Felt we reverted to type i.e. hoofball. Felt sorry for Ralston as he got hounded as a weak link. Germany did their homework and we just let Kroos do what he liked.

Saddens me that Steve Clarke ever saw enough in Porteous to give him a cap. We were all incredulous at the time. When he did play, Porteous put in a MotM performance and stayed in the squad. Now the manager and the whole country knows what we've all known for years - when the pressure is on,he reverts to type; a cheating thug who should never be near a Scotland squad. I hope that is his last cap.
The Germans had a hard man too (Andrich) booked first half and subbed at half time, but I have a feeling he had done his job perfectly - scare the shit out of McGinn, Christie, McTominlay and leave your mark on them and then we'll have complete control over those shitebags.
Not that Porteous was the only player completely caught in the headlights - not one player turned up. The entire midfield was scared out of their wits by a crazy-eyed german with a beard and that exposed Ralston, who was clearly targetted by world class forwards and will be again next game (I fear for his mental health).
