Yes, while Parrott's chance was a gimme... you can't be relying on every single perfect chance to go in. And we shouldn't be saying oh no we must drop Parrott because he missed a chance. Otherwise you'd say drop Duff from the Ireland team for missing one v one chance in Paris, etc.Quote:

Should've won that in truth, there's nothing really between those two sides. Mad to think Scotland will probably be in the A group next time and England wont.
No idea how McGinn didnt get booked. Obefemi rightly annoyed at being taken off, he was causing Scotland all sorts of problems.
Not 100% gone, but maybe only a 20% chance now. And 100% out of our hands, we just have to rely on others (beyond not losing to Armenia obviously).Quote:

I think that's green tinted glasses still. It would have been a great goal for a fullback to curl it into the top corner. He should have done better for sure, but even a good shot on target from there should be a routine enough saveQuote:

i wouldn't mind seeing oba and ogbene together up front if we're playing counter attack. awful miss from parrott, had the feeling it might cost us.
we looked very vulnerable defensively in the second half which is worrying.
Tod realises Kenny fumbles along so he started interrupting to keep the questioning going
Aye, has to be said this is a bit of a shocker of an interview here.Quote:

He should step down or be sacked. It's not even up for debate anymore.
Good away performance,just a terrible result.Dohertys defending for first goal was shamefull for a premier player,Brownes decision making for second inexcusable ,Parrots missed chance a story of poor execution.Keep at it lads .
As they say, the table never lies. Scotland 12 points, Ukraine 10 points, Ireland 4 points and Armenia 3 points. No amount of excuses can wash over that.
^^^ Those are one game from the chop numbers.
They should give the Premier League trophy to Arsenal now, yeah?Quote:

This group of players show a lot of promise.. the football is 100 times better to watch than under Trap and O Neill.. six of those players tonight could have played last night against Isreal remember
I spent two years railing against Arteta and "the process".. now Arsenal are top of the Premier League
We'll get there eventually
Is there 1 game left in the premium league? A really bizarre post you've just made. Laughable really, are you putting Kenny in the same bracket as Arteta?Quote:

Haha nobody would be stupid enough to put Kenny (management demigod) down in Arteta?s bracket.Quote:

If Hougton was incharge I wouldn?t watch us if we played in my guardan!
For me the Armenia game must be the end of the road forvMr Kenny. Finish vs Armenia and get a draw. Then put a new coach for the friendlies of November asap. Even I would offer Hiddink the role who he was in Australia the other night.
Better than Trapatonni I agree , better than MON not so.
Well, this is it, nutshell & exactly.Quote:
