I'm hoping to be there too - first Scotland game I'll have been at that's not at Hampden.

Looking forward to this now. Wonder what sort of crowd there will be and will Estonia even bother to turn up? ;-)
Hopefully see Snoddy get a run out too!

Fell asleep just before kick-off. I don't know if that says anything about the game?

Not a game that'll live long in the memory but a solid enough performance and a win to start the 'new era'.
Thought Burke impressed in the first half as did Snoddy in the second.
Not a big fan of Adam and thought he was poor again last night. Would have Morrison/McArthur/Dorrans in the middle ahead of him.
Fletcher was a nuisance and Rhodes was sharp when he came on. I didn't realise he was as fast as he is.
Estonia weren't up to much but their left back marked Hutton out the game everytime he came forward. That's a worry given he'll likely be the man in at RB and be coming against stiffer opposition than that. Plus, if you kill Hutton's game going forward, you don't leave him with much as he's piss poor at defending.
Good showing from Mulgrew - arguably one of the most improved players in Scotland over the last 3-4 years.
A goal, a clean sheet, a win and not a lot to moan about - bring on Wales.

A goal, a clean sheet, a win and not a lot to moan about Not all that much to get excited about either, by the sounds of it.  In the end I actually watched a bit of the England v Brazil game but even gave up on that because there's only so much Brazil you can watch when they're more interested in flicking, one touching and looking smart than actually trying to win a game. I missed the Scotland match highlights on the UK state broadcaster later on last night so don't really have anything to base an opinion on but I am glad the diminutive ginger wise cracker at least got his Scotland career off to a winning start. What was the crowd? Decent? Derisory? |

I don't think it was ever going to be a glamour match - Estonia, on a wet Wednesday night on a tattie field in Aberdeen...I'm just stunned there wasn't a sheep to be seen. Crowd was just over 16,000. |

Strachan 'overjoyed' at win - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21362692We quote from Strachan on Snoddy - "Robert Snodgrass had a heck of an act to follow (coming on for Burke) and I thought he was terrific as well." |
