Scotland created 6 chances but David Marshall decision to play rush goalie when Scotland were looking dangerous sapped the energy out of Scotland. The Czech were solid and Schick scored two excellent goals.
Patrik Schick has a good scoring record for his Country, 15 goals in 28 games.
Marshall should have got back quicker.
He shouldn’t have been so far upfield in the first place.

Marshal was too far forward but it was a brilliant first time strike with a bit of curve.
Piss poor team selection by Clarke. Dykes is useless. Should have started with Adams and preferably in a 4-4-2. That said Scotland could easily have scored a couple. Czechs the better of two phenomenally average sides. England should fill their boots on Friday. They probably won’t football being football.
Gutted, two great finishes from Schick who was a class above pretty much anyone else on the pitch apart from, perhaps, Robertson and the Czech’s won fair and square. The pre-tournament excitement & optimism has been hit with a huge dose of reality.
Major changes needed to avoid total embarrassment on Friday against England.

I can't get on board with the wanting Scotland to win til they play us cos were all British.
I want to see them lose by at least 5 goals to nil in all 3 games and spend another 20 years trying to qualify for the next one, only for the same thing to happen again
Each to their own. I want them to win and I’ve not a deep fried bone in ma body. It all feels a bit fakey hate to me (a la Palace Brighton). I see it more as a sibling rivalry.
Don't really understand why it’s ok to cheer on Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish athletes, swimmers, cricketers, golfers etc yet have to hate their footballers.
Rule Brittania
ps. I’ll laugh whenever they get stuffed though!
If they are representing GB in the Olympics/Worlds then fine, but in the Commonwealth Games I would not be cheering on their swimmers.
Bit like Andy Murray (who I have warmed to over the last 6/7 years) - I wouldnt cheer for him as a default position (unless Davis Cup), depends if I like who he is playing better,
Just as I wouldnt cheer Liverpool in Europe but would want Jordan Henderson to smack one in for England
I've shared this on here before. 1998 World Cup, I was away with work and watched us get knocked out of the World Cup by Romania in the Glasgow Hilton. They couldn't have been more delighted and obnoxious. F*ck em.
Edit - the loss didn't knock us out, it was the last match of the group stage....but they were still obnoxious...

I like Scotland and the Scots but can still laugh when they lose. Not in a nasty way just a bit of piss taking. Would fully expect and accept @cafcdave123 Silly Billy and the others on here giving us pelters if they beat us on Friday. It’s football.

Hear hear , I love Scotland especially Edinburgh but there’s no better footie banter like it when England play Scotland

Euro2000?
Edited above...it was WC98 but was actually the last match of the group stage (last minute winner by Dan Petrescu). Of course we were actually knocked out by Argentina. I watched that match in very nice Edinburgh hotel where there were very few Scottish people...

There are a lot of holes in your recollection of the events, not sure you’re a reliable witness!
What pictures are the commentators seeing? They just discussed why the Slovak goal was credited as an own goal and were speculating whether the shot was “too hot to handle and therefore should be credited to Mak, the Slovak player”. But if they took ten seconds to watch the replay, they’d see the ball bounced out off the post, hit the goalie and went in. It’s an own goal and shouldn't even be up for debate!

My Year 8 tutor group picked out Slovakia in the sweepstake and a rival Year 8 group picked Poland so I'm happy with the score so far. They have been researching Slovakia, I've written to the Slovakian embassy to tell them we're cheering for them...this is almost as important as the England match.
I thought that Scotland deserved a goal for their efforts but lacked quality in the final third. I don’t like the peroxide blond centre-forward from QPR, Dykes. Difficult to understand how he and Christie started ahead of Che Adams, who carried much more threat when he came on.
Scotland’s big players like McTominay and McGinn had very little impact (Robertson excepted) and the Czechs had class up top and defended very soundly. In fairness, they are always pretty good technically and, as former European Champions (courtesy of Panenka in 1976) and finalists in 96, they have a far superior pedigree to Scotland - and, of course, to England.

Really wont be surprised to see Craig Gordon in ahead of Marshall

Poor bloke.
From hero to zero in one match !
Should have played Fabianski even if just for this game!
