SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi lads, Im just home from the Scotland, Iceland game at Easter Rd, Few things i would like to share and ask.1 Who was Iceland number 10? He was phenomenal. What a talent. Is this the new Gudjohnsson? Well worth a second watch and good look at.2 Why was Paul Caddis captain? Man short, hes rubbish, doesnt talk, cant pass, hes rubbish, silence from the captain was deafening.3 Who was the central midfield 2? 6 and 8 for Scotland? Rubbish, lacked most basics and were dominated by the Icelandic midfield, not even their midfield, their number 10 who i think played just off the main striker, dominated that area.4 Murphy and Maguire are too similar, huge mistake playing both together5 Chris Maguire, whilst being a litte Rangers hating bigot, is some player, a fantastic talent, was very impressive for Killie, not sure how hes done for Aberdeen but tonight, he was excellent, needed help from a partner and from midfield, didnt get it.6 Who was Scotland number 11? Tricky wee player, excellent first half, poor second, but has something.7 Iceland under 21's were monsters, huge lads, much bigger and stronger than Scotland.8 Scotland played well, it was a great game, let down by a few players who were out of their depth, Wotherspoon, Caddis, Murphy, 2 central midfielders were let downs, all very poor.9 Where there any Rangers players involved? I didnt notice any. Why not, we have some exceptional youngsters coming through.10 Value for money, £20 for a family of 4, fantastic, was well worth every penny.11 Why was Goodwillie on the bench?12 Seen Griffiths in last 10 minutes, hes a whippet, and looked very hungry to do well.13 Main points - Caddis captain and playing, shocking, Maguire and Iceland number 10 - amazing, simply class, some game, Scotland centre mid, rubbish.14 3 world class goals, 3 goals worthy of winning goal of the season.15 Scotland keeper was poor, a flapper and not very strong, dont know who he was.Cant say i weas gutted seeing a team with so many tims and managed by a tim losing! Well worth the money just seeing that entertainment though.All in all a good night, anyone able to answer any of my questions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 104,246 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 The number 10 of Iceland cost someone 7 million or hes valued at that. Played with Reading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 1 question.What was the score? My wee one was freezing so we left with 3 minutes to go, i think it was 2-1 Iceland at that time. Just after Griffiths got booked for diving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonhillbear 58 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Murphy was Scotlands best player in first half.And if your saying him and Maquire are similar then you can't possibly expect Goodwillie to get a game as he is same as Maquire.Siguurdson cost Hoffenheim £7mil from Reading.Caddis is most experienced player in squad so likely why he is captain.Icelands squad had 14 full internationals with 74 caps between them, our squad had none.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Gylfi Sigurdsson? Hoffenheim just bought him.Unbelievable player, honestly, ive seen alot of football live, he was unreal.Under 21, the lad is built like the side of a house.I was in first row, he was massive, solid, fast, greta touch, can pass, got some shot on him.Hes a class act.

Is he better than Kyle Hutton, Jamie Ness and others? The lads rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying it should have been him, i was just wondering why he wasnt playing, he has a better reputation than both Murphy and Maguire, but he isnt a tim right enough.Siguurdson is unreal, future world class star, from bloody Iceland! Amazing player.Caps, caps, caps, I was at the game, they were not that much better than us, they were bigger, fitter, stronger, but not much technically better. Althoguh they did surprise me how decent they were.Cheers BBI personally dont rate Stark and think his squad and team were poorly assembled for this great chance to make the finals.

Plays with Watford, moved from St Mirren in JanuaryOver rated, maybe he is a case of, "its not what youve got but who you know" about him.Im sure he has family who were high up in the Scottiosh game somewhere.He is over rated, hes absolute pants. The game passed him by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
