In all the post-match coverage that I've read and watched, mention of the Georgia game has curiously been airbrushed - watching it was a grim reminder of the old Scotland. I have a strange feeling that we'll end up in the same qualifying group as England on Nov 25. Shaun is absolutely right.

Seems there's some kind of bug in MT, as I fixed that URL yesterday but later reedited something in the post. I suspect it bungs a http:// in front of any URL, even if it already has the http:// in there... Ah – thanks for pointing that out Craig.

Yes, we blew it in the game against Georgia but that was in the past. On Saturday they had a good chance and a couple of things went against us, including some horrific refereeing. I'll bet FIFA and UEFA are happy though - could you have imagined the loss in revenue from not having France or Italy at the finals? All in all, a truly Scottish defeat. Time to grow and look forward though and see what can be done next time. I dunno. Yes, we blew it in the game against Georgia but that was in the past.
