Fantastic performance by Scotland, not just in this game, but in the entire qualifying campaign. Hope nevery supporter tonight stayed to applaud the players off the pitch.

Absolutely heart-breaking how we lost the match (especially as we had our opportunities to win it). In the lead up to their goal, it was never a freekick. How someone can go one hundred miles an hour into a defender and get a free-kick is beyond me.

Don't think the result would have made much difference at the end of the day (unless we had won).

Thanks Scotland for keeping it going so long, especially when we were written off at the outset.

Look forward to the World Cup Qualifiers Smile

Well done Scotland for raising the game throughout this tournament, and so well done to the fans who gave them a rousing ovation at the end of the game. Scottish football is on the way UP again.

...ouch.

That was tough to take. I really feel for the players, but this sort of disappointment doesn't fade easily, and hopefully it'll toughen them up and make them even more determined to qualify for the WC in 2010.

I'm proud of them.

I was proud of the team not only on saturday but throughout the campaign but it was heartbreaking going out the way we did.The officials were a disgrace though and shouldnt be allowed to ref again.

Gutting stuff but great 2nd half from the team, we had them rattled and with a bity of luck with McFadden's effort etc we might have been booking flights to the alps this morning.

Not to be and am pretty gutted but looking fwd to few euro games with Celtic and Aberdeen and then nxt sunday we have the world cup draw, although very hard to take we've done brilliant the whole campaign.

well done everyone.
