Players gave their all but once again management let us down again badly. After Sundays debacle, making 8 changes in a must win game against the supposedly weakest team in our section which a win would have won our league, we throw it away against a team we have struggled to beat in the recent past. This clown Clarke cannot deliver and the sooner we get rid of the better. Forget the europhoria of qualifying Euro 2020 albeit by penalty shoot out, this shower of muppets will take us nowhere with their total mismanagement of our national team. CLARKE OUT. No doubt will be down to most of them would have been unfit to play after boozing it up after qualifying. There's no other reasonable reason to make so many changes. If you wanted to mix it up you would have done it last night after securing the points neededon Sunday. Still don't understand why McLaughlin didn't play. shotstopper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland were on a poor run before the last game at Hampden. In the end they were unlucky not to beat a star packed England side. They’ll need to go all out defensive to protect Mctominay, Gallagher and Tierney from getting exposed 1v1 versus Sterling or Radhford - The Israel goal last night showed that. Also not sure lumping balls forward to Dykes will be a good option against Mcguire and co either tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Just read that Scotland lost again. Can't say that I am surprised. A neanderthal as manager and a collection of players that just ain't up to it. Thing is that Scotland used to produce quality players. Croatia (similar population) still does and almost won a world cup. It's because in the rest of the world they play the modern game and not the hammer throwing nonsense that is now Scottish football. Whole game in Scotland needs to be changed from top to bottom. LiverpoolBlue and shotstopper 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swagger 8,937 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I put on the end of the game on Radio Scotland. Fucking cringeworthy. The players were tired, heavy legs etc etc but apparently nothing can take away from this huge achievement of scraping into the Euros. That’ll be a huge number of the Tartan Armies football interest packed away until the tournament starts - then it’s a case of each one trying to be more Scottish than the next. I can nearly guarantee that Sturgeon will have some sort of reception for the players to celebrate their achievements just around the time of the elections next year. That’s the realism of Scotland and international football. Yes there are those that truly enjoy it and follow Scotland passionately- fair play. Fact is though high numbers jump on the band wagon when there’s the odd big game Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Until we get rid of the polarisation in our national team we will always be shite. Griffiths is only in the squad to pacify little neds. Be better playing Dalglish, I’m sure he can still give 20mins and it’ll be far more productive.

James Rolle 514 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Going by media reports, Clarke has credit in the bank as I didn’t see any scathing reports that would normally and rightfully be forthcoming given two loses in a row to Slovakia and fucking Israel! I wonder how long that credit will last. We scrapped through the back door at the end of the day. Let’s see what the first WC qualifiers brings, but I think he’ll have credit to keep him in the role through the end of the Euros no matter how badly we do come March. I think he should be sacked now and give the team a chance of kicking off our WC hopes with some ambition (now the back door is shut) and at least to entertain the support in the summer despite, as expected, not being capable of progressing from the group. shotstopper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.C. 19,594 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It’s always been a dream of mine to see a qualifying group with all the minnows in it.

We (Faroe Islands) are a tiny nation but every now and then we do quite well. Our u21s get some amazing results.. we drew 1-1 against France and beat Israel, Russia etc..
