Marshall The Hero

When you've waited 22 years, what's four or five seconds?'

Goalkeeper Marshall revealed the referee told him not to celebrate saving the spot-kick that sent Scotland to the Euros because there would be a video assistant referee check.

But, after an agonising few seconds, he was finally given the all clear.

He said: "I just hoped and prayed that it didn't go to a retake because the lads were already on their way. They didn't know it was being checked probably.

"When you've waited 22 years what's another four or five seconds?

"It's almost a numb feeling, it's been so long. It's just a massive emotional feeling. Ryan Christie was in tears and it just shows how much it means to the lads to get there.

"Had we lost it it would have been gut-wrenching, but if you're going to do it that's the best way to do it. The lads scoring 10 out of 10 penalties under that amount of pressure is just incredible."

Carson was a strange one, not sure why Lamps dropped him,

Cos he was awful under Lampard and nowhere near the standard he had set the previous year. His shot stopping was nowhere near and his all round game was poor.

I don't think he came for 1 cross last night. 

He expects defenders to kick, head,block anything that comes into the box and it worked for 99% of the time last night.

To do that, the defence needs to be organised and having a settled back 3 or 5 helps. 

I'm not sure Derby know their best defender's or defensive system yet.

VAR checked it, one foot was on the line as ball was struck.

Edit: Was bloody close tho, if it was Derby it definitely would have been ruled out..

The foot doesn't have to be on the line., it can be in the air as long as part of it is in line the goal line.

1) This gives me flashbacks to the post-Leeds celebrations under Lampard. Hope we don't get the same standard of subsequent performance.

2) We need to sing this song as soon as we're allowed back into the ground.

Love it! Football is all about emotions and that certainly fits the bill.

Our new chant surely? Well from our arm chairs anyway

The Scottish (soldier) Hero

 

We’ve got a hero, a Scottish hero

In goal for Derby now

He’ll show the others how

He’ll stop you scoring

He gets us roaring

And sows those green shoots of victory!

 

Because those green shoots are not idle dreams

Though misfortune seems

To thwart all our schemes

Our Scottish hero will always lift his game

David Marshall that’s our goalie’s name!
