Let's not beat around the bush, an embarrassing result for Scotland. If Celtic or Rangers were to lose to a Lithuanian club side then the knives would be out and rightly so, just like they should here.
I'm not Scott Brown's biggest fan, never have been and probably never will be unless he keeps up the form he's showed this season but Scotland badly missed him on Saturday, we weren't sharp in the tackle, we weren't sharp in getting the ball wide or into the striker and that's something Brown has added this year, it's a big loss.
Strachan got his selections wrong, Chris Martin ahead of Griffiths is one of the most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen from Strachan and there have been lots over his managerial career.
To make matters worse, Strachan does his usual and insults our intelligence by saying Chris Martin was outstanding and we were unlucky, he's a flooking moron and I can't wait until he's gone and make no mistake he should be gone when we don't take all 3 points tomorrow night.
Ratings:
Marshall - 5
Paterson - 6
Martin - 6
Hanley - 4
Robertson 7
Fletcher - 3
Bannan - 6
Burke - 6
Snodgrass - 6
Ritchie - 5
Martin - 1
We looked a lot more threatening when Griffiths was on and if Strachan wants any chance of saving his job then he's got to start tomorrow night.
I don't hold out much hope though, either for the above, us winning or qualifying for the WC
NNH
Scotland 1 v 1 Lithuania

Its a real shame that we cant make a CB and a RB out of either Wallace, Tierney or Robertson. We are missing 2 of our 3 best defenders sitting on the bench just because they play the same position. Not sure what Charlie Mulgrew is doing now but he is a better bet at CB than what we have! I would even take young Soutter and get him in the team ahead of Hanley! And for all those people that have a pop at Alan Hutton! Are you happy to have Paterson as his understudy? they guy is awful, an athlete in a football, shirt and not more!
Strachan, start showing the fans some respect! I cant watch another performance like that!!!

Some people can't see a good player if it's right in front of them.
And by some people I mean CT.
And to a lesser extent JFK.

Why settle for a good player when we have a great one in Tierney

Probably because he wasn't selected.
