Bit more than daft, it was outrageously stupid from Browne, and I'm saying that as someone who thinks he's a useful player. There's a big difference between picking up a yellow for a genuine, mistimed challenge - and thowing your hands up in the air for no apparent reason at a corner where there is no immediate danger. 

We know exactly why you'd like Cullen to be pilloried rather than Browne (he's got too popular amongst the fan base for someone you view as "other"), but whereas one of them actually contributed positively to a good team performance, Browne's main contribution was a moment of madness that lost us the game.
We're decent enough..

Cullen's being good for us but that was far from his best performance in general, even leaving aside the two booking incidents. Browne was being sl*gged before a ball was even kicked. Cullen could/should have left us with ten men; Browne's penalty concession equally moronic, but it wasn't borne out of nothing, he was pushed by Egan. The contrast in reactions to the two incidents is ridiculous.

Again, nobody else but you thinks I have a grudge against English players. Knight was just as bad as Cullen and Parrott looks miles off the hype, and the latter's inconceivable miss is possibly the difference between us winning and losing, same as against Ukraine. They're from County Dublin!

What's pathetic? I have serious concerns about Mc Clean at LWB. I think the Scots will target him as a weak link and he was caught out a number of times in the reverse fixture. I'm a fan of Mc Clean's, always have been and I have stood up for him here on more than one occasion. I hope he goes on to get to the 100 cap mark because he deserves it. I just dont think this is the right game for him in a packed Hampden where he will no doubt be the target of sectarian abuse also. With Doherty fit and likely to push on from his RWB berth, I just think we should be looking at a more defensive minded player for the LWB role.

It's pathetic writing off him before a ball is kicked.

What are your thoughts on his performance after the game?
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I thought he played very well and handled his defensive responsibilities well in the main, helped at times by O'Shea who I thought was excellent. Happy to be proven wrong. As I said previously I have long been a fan of James, unlike several others on here, I just had concerns about this fixture as he was caught out badly on a couple of occasions in the reverse fixture. Well done, I think he should retain his spot for tmw also, unlike others who are calling for the introduction of Brady. (I always thought he should have started tmws game btw, just not the away game to Scotland)

If you check out the James Mc Clean thread, you'll see that I had already acknowledged his good performance yesterday before you posted this.

I ran the numbers on the age of the starting XI against Scotland, it was younger than we thought

Still sick about that result. Should've been a win, but to lose it to such a stupid, fluke penalty is the real kicker
