Well I believe this is proof positive that I am indeed not Cammy Smith

The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition. How do you score goals? By being prepared to test the goalkeeper. I watched Italy on Thursday night dominate England around their box but being feart to shoot. They lost. I watched Thistle last night dominate Fake Thistle - especially after Welsh's harsh red card - without ever shooting at goal (Brian Graham's first half effort apart). We lost. I was at Hampden this afternoon to watch a frankly insipid Scotland performance which featured lots of possession and mainly poor crosses but no shots on goal (one decent effort from Stuart Armstrong other then the three goals). That we didn't lose was that Cyprus had no intentions of winning the game in the first place. Last night and this afternoon were exercises in low-risk football which seems to be the pervasive feature of the modern game. Which makes the game difficult to watch nowadays.
