In the absence of Aston Villa defender Rachel Corsie, Weir captained Scotland in both of their two-legged play-off games against Hungary and Finland. <\/p>\n
While she was at the heart of a superb performance at Easter Road in the semi-final second leg against the Hungarians, she – and her team-mates – could not replicate such magic against the Finns and sparingly troubled their goal.<\/p>\n
A flat performance in the freezing Finnish capital meant that by the time the Scots started to turn the screw ever so slowly, the damage had been done by two first-half goals.<\/p>\n
When the full-time whistle whirled round the Bolt Arena, the Scotland players sunk to deck and stared deep into the night.<\/p>\n
Weir was left with an abundance of what if’s and will spend the summer, once more, on the sofa, watching many of her club-mates hit the biggest stage in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
“I’ve probably found it one of the more difficult times in my career in terms of a result like that,” the former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder said of last Tuesday’s game.<\/p>\n
“I actually found it hard to sleep after for quite a few nights.<\/p>\n
“It’s hit a lot of players very hard, for me definitely, thinking, ‘what more could I have done?’ Thoughts you really don’t want to have, but that’s happened in the last week.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s probably too soon to say exactly where [Scotland go from here]. <\/p>\n
“We have to reflect, see where it was we fell short exactly. For me, it’s still a little bit too soon to really go into the details, we have to let it settle a little bit.”<\/p>\n
But nine days on from yet another disappointment, Weir will not have been the only one suffering sleepless nights as the restlessness rises among the support at the radio silence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
