Well Martin was poor wasn't he? Russell looked good though. England were fairly decent and it was quite a good game to watch.

Perfectly summarised, cani.
Where were you...?

The interview Cyrus Christie.....http://www.fm104.ie/News-Sport/Article?itemid=34354

They"

Scotland were poor full stop, not just Chris Martin.

If they're not capable of getting the ball into his feet and getting runners around him, then there's no point them picking him.

Easy scapegoat.

Nice little cameo from Johnny.

Milf knows

Correct MILF

"Milf knows" "Correct MILF"

FFS. All he's done is state the bleeding obvious and it's fawn all over MILF time. In other news, Martin's chief asset is not pace so he doesn't run the channels or be an option for a ball over the top of the defence to stretch the play and relieve a bit of pressure.

Like I say, FFS. What next from His Wisdomness? "Keep a clean sheet and you're unlikely to lose"?

FFS.

Also, a word to the wise. You do not actually have to type: "full stop". You can just put: "."

Cheer up Vid you might get the POTY vote

BBC didn't seem to impressed with Martin. 4 out of 10.

Chris Martin (Forward) 4

"Also hooked at half-time, having made no impact on his first start for the national team. Despite being in sparkling form for Derby in the Championship, the step-up in class was too great on the night."

It wouldn't make sense then though as he has a comma after he says full stop.

Vidal's ..... GRUMPYOLDMANSYNDROME

He's getting similar to 666 Cstander, this POTY award must make you grumpy

Martin was poor semi colon but he wasn't alone.

STRETT IS ALL ALONE FOR A VERY GOOD REASON FACT!

I would say Martin was a very successful at masking Smalling's failings as a centre half for England.

Yes, you would say that, wouldn't you?

Interesting comments by Martin on his own performance:

"That is one of the worst games I have played for a long time, I think I am better than that," he said.

"I don't want to be remembered for that game and I hope I get another chance to prove I am better than that.

"It was a tough 45 minutes, both individually and as a team.

"I didn’t get hold of the ball and it is important that I learn from it.

"It was my first taste of starting at this sort of level against a very good side in England with some very good players.

"I have to review it and see where I went wrong. That is all I can do. I am disappointed with myself."



Rare and refreshing to see a player being so self-critical. Most are so far up their own rear ends they think they have played brilliantly and it's everyone else that has been to blame. He's been a top player for us, and it seems he's got his head on the right way too.

MILF out.

He's spot on Vidal.

His level probably is the Championship to be fair

A goal or three at the weekend would be the perfect way to bounce back!

Good on yer, Chrissy

If Scotland learnt how to keep clean sheets, then they'd have a better chance of not losing.

It is at the moment strett, that's for sure. What would worry me, if I were you, is that his level is way higher than that of the players in the team you support.

Not sure Vidal. Your players play more as a team, which no one would argue with, but Britt has got the same amount of goals in a fledgling stuttering team. Imagine how many goals a decent striker would score for you.
If Griff's rumour turns out to be true and you get Glenn Murray, then you'll p!ss the second half of the season

"The step-up in class was too great" may well be a phrase we hear again next season with regards Chris Martin.

He got no service last night, which doesn't help but he is never going to chase balls around for fun, which is what was needed last night. The lad from Sheff Weds isn't half as good as Martin but at least he looked like he wanted the ball last night.
