Scotland fans furiously react to Ireland hammering in Nations League

Scotland fans were far from impressed with their side's "pathetic" performance against Ireland on Saturday evening.

The Boys in Green hammered Steve Clarke's side 3-0 to pick up their first ever Nations League win.

Ireland took the lead in the 20th minute when Alan Browne bundled the ball over the line after Shane Duffy had headed down a James McClean corner.

The hosts' second goal came in the 27th minute when Michael Obafemi’s perfectly-weighted pass into the Scotland box found Troy Parrott who headed past keeper Craig Gordon.

And things got even better in the second half as Obafemi scored his first Ireland goal in the 51st minute when he thundered a drive from 30 yards past the helpless Gordon.

But the Tartan Army were furious with how their side played in Dublin.

One fan tweeted: "This performance from Scotland has been an absolute disgrace. An Ireland team that couldn’t buy a win and we’ve made them look like world beaters… pathetic stuff… so typically Scotland."

Another said: "Scotland making a terrible Ireland team look like world beaters! I'd sack Steve Clarke but we've nobody to replace him with?"

Someone else commented: "Ireland deserve to win this game. No doubt about that. And Scotland today, sadly, have been embarrassing. Painful to watch at times. Nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level needed for international games. No desire, no quality, no ideas."

One other tweet read: "Unbelievable Ireland can turn us over so comfortably. Even more concerning they’ve pressed us more, worked harder, and have a clear style of play. Scotland on the other hand less said about them the better. Woeful!"
