@rossdunbar93 He impresses people because he's all action and robust. Not the best reader of the game sometimes, I grant you. 2 minutes ago via Echofon in reply to rossdunbar93

Might sound hard to believe given NI are 5 down to the Dutch but Hibs' chances of getting James McPake may be little slimmer on this showing 6 minutes ago via Echofon
@_ParaHandy @THE_TBK Quite easily? Press using frontmen when Belgium have the ball in own half and defend in numbers when they come at us 11 minutes ago via Echofon in reply to _ParaHandy

Craig Levein is writing things! Can confirm Craig Levein is writing something. Likely not a text to Steven Fletcher. about 2 hours ago via Echofon
James McPake starts for NI RT @LaureJames: Netherlands v NI teams. Full strength from hosts, Huntelaar on the bench. twitter.com/LaureJames/sta… about 2 hours ago via Echofon
@liamt67 If he continues the way he is going, he will be worth double that in a few years. Still to play at top level but more than a talent about 2 hours ago via Echofon in reply to liamt67
@liamt67 Massively. The boy just can't stop scoring and seems a developing all rounder. Key to Scotland's future. about 2 hours ago via Echofon in reply to liamt67
@scotzine Rhodes has to be there. Not advocating all out attack but definitely defending from front as high as possible. Rhodes will benefit about 3 hours ago via Echofon in reply to scotzine
@scotzine True. Was the last time Scotland captivated us and it was because of an intense, swift style of play. There's time yet... about 3 hours ago via Echofon in reply to scotzine
@scotzine Only time I can ever remember seeing it was v Spain in 2nd half and it worked. Baffling it went back into cold storage. about 3 hours ago via Echofon in reply to scotzine
@DazDiCanio Or something resembling it! about 3 hours ago via Echofon in reply to DazDiCanio
@mr_omnibus Praying we see a 4-4-1-1 against Belgium. Pressure on deep midfielder and wingers with stamina pressing too. A boy can dream. about 3 hours ago via Echofon in reply to mr_omnibus
It's clear too though that Scotland will have to defend deep without ball and be wary of swift counters. Belgium's attack could destroy us. about 3 hours ago via Echofon
