Back from the Dead

Scotland's last gasp winner against Liechtenstein at Hampden last night just goes to prove the old adage - about the importance of playing to the final whistle.

The changes made a half-time injected a much needed sense of urgency into our play - but for most of the game we played like a pub team - giving the ball away needlessly and carelessly.

After the 'Fricking' goal early in the second half we looked completely dead and buried - until Miller's strike brought us back into the game.

The only saving grace was that the team never gave up - despite tackles that came straight out of a horror movie - which in truth deserved the attention of Strathclyde police and not the referee.

Yet Scotland had players booked - simply for protesting about the GBH being visited on their team mates - what a joke.

Hutton in particular is lucky not to have his leg in plaster this morning - although to be fair for long periods he did look like he was actually playing in a 'stookie'.

James McFadden - normally a hero of the Tartan Army - won man of the match for petted lips - and nothing else all night - he needs to take a good look at himself.

As the match went into the seventh minute of injury time Scotland took a leaf out of the spoof Star Trek movie - 'Galaxy Quest'.

In which the Captain Kirk character saves the day with his famous rallying cry: 'Never give up - never give in!'

You couldn't make it up.
