HIGHLIGHTS | Scotland 2-2 Poland

Scotland suffered last second heartbreak as Poland struck with virtually the last strike of the game to deny the team a place at Euro 2016.
Robert Lewandowski’s early goal stunned Hampden before Matt Ritchie’s 25 yard thunderbolt drew things level going into half-time. Steven Fletcher’s looping second half strike looked to have won the game for Scotland only for Lewandowski to bundle home a last gasp free-kick to break the home fan’s hearts.

Scotland are a side with no luck. They always blow it. The defeat in Georgia finished Scotland. The Scots are a better team than Ireland yet somehow finish below them. 4 games against Poland and Ireland and not a single defeat. Yet we still fail. Unbelievable. And what a tough group. While Northern Ireland qualify from the easiest group imaginable. Same with England. Anyway congratulations to Northern Ireland and Wales. Hope you both have a great Championships. With Scotland failing yet again,i will be rooting for the Irish and Welsh. Good luck lads.

[@scottnisbet5666]

Gonna have to stop you there, Ireland have a team with better players. If you are Scottish, and you are rooting for other national teams, you should never associate yourself with Scotland, we hang our heads with pride. We are by far the worst team out of Germany, Poland and Ireland. Germany are World Cup winners, and Poland have players who play for Bundesliga winning sides....

[@jaysea32]

+SupaMajestic By far? Then how come Poland failed to beat us home and away? And we also took 4 points from the Irish. So to say Poland and Ireland are better by far is ridiculous. The complacency in Georgia cost Scotland. That is why they have failed yet again.

[@jaysea32]

+SupaMajestic And where is it a rule not to root for other teams? If Scotland arent there i can root for anyone. It doesnt make me any less a Scotland fan.

[@StradV]

It was a great game and that last seconds goal was really unlucky for Scotland. Overall it was an amazing show to watch, thrilling and full of emotions, but also a tough, physical game which, at times, seemed more like rugby rather than football, but given how both sides needed results in this game, it's well understandable. It didn't help that you had to face Lewandowski in his prime, cause the last few weeks are surely his best ever. It was a really tough and close group and a difficult campaign, where a single defeat (not counting Germany for obvious reasons) resulted with Scotland's chances for Euro burried. As Polish, I'm really used to this bitter feeling you must suffer from right now, but hey that's football and these emotions are what's beautiful in this game. Even though you didn't succeed eventually, you fought really well and I wish you guys better luck next time.

[@trickester0]

What a pity that such good team like Scotland will not qualify. We are in tough group, (there were 4 strong teams, each capable to promote - not like in other groups) and someone must be a sufferer. 2:2 is fair result. You Scots bury your chances down by unexpected loss with Georgia.. But you played well and someday you'll flourish :) Greetings from Poland

[@jaysea32]

Great comment. Very honest. Look at some of the other groups. Every one of the 4 from our group would have at least made top 2 in the other groups. Its unfair that 4 teams of a good level and equal level were in the same group. Though of course the Germans are the best of the 4. It was 100% the hardest group of the lot.

[@jaysea32]

***** No mate. Holland and Turkey arent as good now. And Iceland? Are you serious? A one tournament wonder for certain. Czech are good side. Scotlands group was tougher.

It's the same old story. Poland were seconds away from a far must win game against Ireland on Sunday! Poland & Ireland are no better than us but the difference is that they have taken points off the Germany and not dropped points against Georgia. We were not beaten by either of them but as usual we made an arse of it. I do not think we are as far away as some will have you believe. Yes we missed out this time, but I think it's important we stay positive and I think it's important that Strachan remains as manager. Just hope he doesn't want to call it a day after Sunday.
