Chrissy? Yes let's hope Tom stays injury free.
Scotland 1 down
Cairney' assist
And Stefan Johansen is the new Norway captain (named by the new manager).
"A nervy 45 minutes for Scotland with Canada proving to be no pushovers. The positives for Gordon Strachan in the opening period are few and far between. Ikechi Anya and Tom Cairney are the two Scots who have shown their worth but worryingly there are many more negatives for the Scotland coach to be concerned about.
From BBC
Tom is easily the best on the pitch
Snodgrass is useless and overly used!
Plenty of times Tom had made space for himself and yet the daft scots play to either Snograss and he waters it or the right short winger who has a bit of speed but again wastes it's!
FFs give it to Tom and he will curl it into the corner.
Also noticed that Snod seems to take every free kick where Tom could have had a go!
Interesting quotes from Strachan pre-match, "We're bringing Tom Cairney in, we're trying to play a system that's similar to Fulham's."
Playing on better pitches will help, having a better coach too will help. Thought for past 4 years Scotland should have done so much more.
Must say the pitch is atrocious for an international stadiun
Awful game.
Knew we weren't in for a feast of sumptuous football when the commentator remarked, "Of course this isn't Canada's strongest team."
Then you spotted that they had decided to import a reject pitch from the local recreation ground....
the shirt can now be hung on his bedroom wall
hopefully its out of his system and he can now get back to playing decent football for Fulham
its easy for us english to say its a bit mickey mouse, but surely tc himself would have been able to see that for himself tonight
blinkers on from now on
one goal
Funny how he's been knackered the last two games yet everywhere on the pitch tonight.
Still, pleased he done well. Hopefully like said above he can get back to it with us now
That's Sunday morning football for you.
I had a look at a couple of Scottish club forums to see what they said about our 2.
Praise for Cairney from some,but stating that best he stayed away as useless weasel faced Strachan will destroy his talent.
Best one was Aberdeen forum, stating Martin has to be the worst player ever to wear a Scottish shirt,"Get the eejit back doon the road,he isna even Scottish the fat lardhead"...Brilliant.. 064.gif
Both Cairney and Martin are English , why would they want to play for Scotland ?

In Cairneys case his Dad is Scottish, and so he classes himself as.
Scottish pundit on Talksport rated Tom as best player and Martin rubbish.

Yep,that's how it looked on the forum's I read.
'Martin lurking by the far post' says the BBC text. No mention of 'with intent'.
Good to know Martin's international game is exactly identical to his Fulham game.

On that, Martin's best moment as a Fulham player may be the "I went there once" line during the FulhamFCTV Q&A prior to his meltdown.

Norway team training at Motspur Park, should be familiar to Stefan. Leaving tomorrow to face Northern Ireland in world cup qualifier.

Once spent a week in Norway in mid-winter. Let's just say the cryogenic chamber should make them all feel right at home. Provided they turn all the lights off.
Glad I'm not the only person who sees SJ as captaincy material.
