Brown seems to be losing his temper in the Scotland game (BBC2), Norway playing some really good stuff.

Scotland looking more and more like a side who could get some more players sent off.
 
Yeah it's been terrible some absolutely crazy decisions in terms of tactics from Burley, this should be the final Nail in the Coffin and he will go at the end of the campaign.....get out clause there for the SFA
 
Scotland started fairly well, thought they did okay.

I do like how the two "pundits" the BBC have are both Scottish and clearly biased.

Norway are by a mile the best side.
Scotland are losing their temper.

But Norway aren't that great a team and we essentially needed to win tonight, the tactics were far too negative in my eyes, it was the whole keep it tight and sneak a goal thing.

Leaving McFadden out from the start baffled me.
 
Poor effort from Scotland and doubt we can have too many complaints given the yellow cards dished out to Norway before the Caldwell incidents so the players should've known about giving away silly free kicks.

No doubt questions will be asked about Burley's future after tonight.
