whats happening

 

[Smirko]

Should out a few ££££'s on his value!

 

[alan partridge]

its all part of having better players i guess....im please for him & hope he scores...although he shouldn't be playing for Scotland as he is English but
thats a different issue

His name suggests he can play for Scotland. Why shouldn't he? (I can't be bothered to check why)

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

At least the Scotch play decent football, even when the opposition is clearly shit.

And the last Albion player to score in a full senior international was?

John Byrne v Wales 1991?

Still only looks like to two half decent League 1 teams to me - error strewn passes, poor control, lack of inventiveness..

* Muses - You get a good view up here from the Championship don't you...?! *

John Byrne v Wales 1991?

Good shout.
06/02/1991, Wrexham, Racecourse Ground, 9168
Friendly International WALES 0 IRELAND 3 (Niall Quinn 2, John Byrne)

Wonder if we've ever had any in a qualifier?

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

can only think of maybe penney or gerry ryan?

 

[Hove Seagull]

Gary Stevens for England? Or Lawrenson for Eire?

Well played CMS. Run his nuts off again, great debut. It only gets easier for him, Pique and Puyol on Wednesday! He'll be f***ed come next Saturday!

"The most important thing was winning the match and we've done that. We created chances. We kept the ball well at times. Craig Mackail-Smith was different class." Scotland captain Darren Fletcher

NSK Bagpipes for the next home game?

....Plus he never complained, kicked anyone after the ball had gone or got sent off!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Mackail-Smith just told the interviewer he was pleased to score and happy that "the boys" created lots of chances, and said that "hopefully" they could score a few in their next game.

That's their next game against Spain

Also chuckling at the Scottish analysts (Craig Gordon, Pat Nevin and some presenter I don't know) answering the question "is Craig Mackail-Smith good enough for this level" with a knowingly smug "of course he is". Come off it, chaps, most of your first XI play in the MTL, therefore CMS is by definition not just "good enough" but probably several levels above them already...

I thought he looked quality tonight. Brilliant leading the line, great run and finish for the goal. Hope he doesn't play against Spain though as it will be futile waste of his energy.

Agreed. Hopefully Millar will be fit again, because the Spanish will absolutely destroy CMS especially if he's the loan striker like tonight

 

[Hove Seagull]

MTL! Lol!
