Allan McGregor

1-1 at Hampden.

[Lineker]

No idea why Gordon or even Gilks aren't given chances.

Montolivo's opener cancelled out by Xabi Alonso from the penalty spot. 1-1.

[Baddar]

I'm sure you can find it online somewhere.

I have Sky Sports 3 and 4, just not in HD - I figured, if I'm going to watch a friendly, then it had better be in HD at the very least.

Gordon is injured (again ). McGregor is next best and still a pretty good goalkeeper but he's not as good as Gordon who if he ever becomes fit for more than a few months will most likely be #1 again.

This has actually been a surprisingly decent game, usually Scotland friendlies are rubbish.

[Baddar]

Just flicked over to the Wales game to check the score - just in time to see Cahill smash in a cross on the volley to put the Aussies 1-0 up.

[Lineker]

I thought it was Wilkshire? Either way,

Don't remember what thread we were discussing this in earlier, but here are the goals from John Kennedy's testimonial:

Lovely worked goal by Scotland. Snodgrass makes it 2-1.

We're playing well

It was Wilkshire's cross, yeah - I meant that Cahill finished it.

Only got 1 and 2 in HD - stupid Virgin Media.

Oh well, a film it is.

Dude, HD is a pile of wank, get a grip

Torres was apparently having difficulty hearing and was going to faint, weird.

Have you watched a Sky HD game on a full HD screen? It's fucking brilliant.

[Lineker]

Baddar is right - as much as it pains me to say it. -1 for me.

Pique went off injured too.

How good is Larsson? He could of carried on playing for another few years at a high level if you asked me, class player.

HD sports are top notch, I find it difficult to believe when people say they can't see a difference.

It might make for nice viewing, but that doesn't excuse being a big pussy and not watching a game if it's not in HD man

I get why people don't notice too much difference, though - when they're watching on either a shitty brand TV, in 720p (as opposed to 1080p) or on a channel that isn't Sky Sports, the only difference really is that there's no visible pixels around the players. The matches Sky cover look miles better than any other channel. My father comes upstairs to watch most of the Sky games in my room, because my TV is better than his.

EDIT: Johnny - it's a fucking friendly. No, actually, it's fucking WALES. I can think of a million things I'd rather do with my Wednesday night than subject myself to that. Unless it's in HD.

[Lineker]

Suspected concussion for Torres. He'll be going off for a CAT scan after the game.

[stokeriño]

*facepalm*

[Lineker]

lol, Wales. Robbie Kruse makes it 2-0.

[Dan]

Paddy McCourt's second goal was awesome.

[TCO]

Maybe Torres will forget that he's shit now and start scoring again.
