“Absolute Sickener,” Christie replaced by Adams at the interval as Czechs lead Scotland

Some first half feedback as fans and pundits react to that first half at Hampden in which Scotland trail Czech Republic by one goal to nil.

“Czech Republic look far more of a threat going forward and from set pieces than Scotland, always a misplaced pass when under pressure or a mistake in us. Forrest is the obvious change at half time to put Scotland on the front foot,” Highland Paddy.

“Disappointing to concede late on the first half in what I thought was a decent 45 minutes. Looked strong at times but not the sort of goal you want to lose. Surely that’s a penalty at the end of the half too?” Liam Laird.

“Felt like there was a lot more than 12,000 at Hampden before Schick’s goal. It feels like there’s 120 here now. A sickener, but it’s not a fatal blow. They’d been doing ok in the game up until the goal. I sense that Ryan Fraser’s introduction might not be far away,” Tom English (BBC).

“Absolute sickener to lose that goal after playing so well for most of the first half. This lot are still there for the taking. I’d make the switch to Patterson at RB for O’Donnell, and I’d take Armstrong off, drop Christie into midfield, and put Adams up top beside Dykes.”

Adams replaced Christie at the interval and Jack Hendry has just hi the bar!

  1. Red Scotland on

    Czech Republic are a poor side. Tells us all we need to know about the Scottish performance.

  2. Christie a waste of a jersey just like he’s been for CELTIC all season. Sell him quick or nobody will want him with these performances.
