  1. Aye that’s what I mean. Would never have started him. Same as always
  2. What a shame Ferguson is out. One of our best players too. The only shred of comfort is that Clarke wouldn’t have played him anyway tbh.
  3. Seems Nathan Patterson is better than Seamus Coleman after all. Who knew… 🌚
  4. While the usual debate is in full swing from the usual suspects im just reading Steve Clarke is after Joe Taylor who’s a 21 year old Luton striker who’s scored a good few this year on loan to Lincoln. Surely a Welsh/English/Scottish who’s represented Wales previously.
  5. Angus Gunn is a very proud Englishman playing for Scotland and we have warmed to him very well
  6. Yep that’s exactly how I remember it too
  7. I guess if the squad size goes upto 26 you wouldn’t need to drop anyone. In reality Christie plays as a deep midfielder now only in club football the same as McGregor and Gilmour so McLean has no place in the squad so by that reasoning Christie’s attacking mid spot is available or should be
  8. Wouldn’t drop anyone. Would use friendlies to try things and players out - exactly what we should have done with the last set of friendlies
  9. This is the sort of on form player you find out about in a friendly to see if they are good enough IMO. Not a tried and tested many times over failure.
  10. Dykes will never get moved aside for McBurnie, this is Clarke we are talking about. McBurnie has also proven many times he can’t score at international level and is a very poor all round footballer when he plays - he seemed to not even be able to trap a ball or play simple passes etc when in a Scotland shirt. The squad sizes are likely to go up to 26 now but we will always only ever play 1 uptop so he will still only pick 3 strikers in the squad, he’s just had a 26 man squad and there were only 3. The 3 will be Shankland, Adams & Dykes.
  11. Old firm not Glasgow derby ya fanny 🤣
  12. Big John Hughes. That would be a very very classic us appointment.
  13. Billy Stark has retired! Who will get the job - Peter Houston, Peter Grant or some other dinosaur/moron most likely?
  14. He didn’t hesitate to drop SOD!? SOD is absolutely shiter than shite and has about 30 international caps! 😂
  15. What have the Romans ever done for us?
  16. Stephen O’Donnell with a pair of goalie gloves on
  17. “Extra three players, excellent” ”I’ll take 7 goalies”
  18. Unsure where to post this but the national team managers are meeting 8/9th April to lobby UEFA to increase squad sizes to 26 players for the Euros, citing medical issues etc. Youd think if they are all in it together it would happen again? So maybe will be 26 after all…
  19. This is football so a couple more showings like last night & a poor Euros and he won’t be the manager for the next campaign. Thats how it is. Hopefully this has been a blip and we are a lot better for the next set of friendlies…
  20. Anyone not worried about our form or what’s coming out of Steve Clarke’s mouth is in denial. He says he needed picked up by the players after Friday night & after last night he’s said it wasn’t our night and peaking now doesn’t matter it’s about peaking in June… 30 mins in last night we went 451 but we don’t have a single winger in the squad so we had no width or penetration. The ability to see issues and change things - I don’t see any of that in any of our last… 5-10 games. The make up of the squad for June should have changed following these results; less Kenny McLeans & Greg Taylor’s & more Ryan Frasers & hopefully someone who can create, breakdown & be effective in the final 3rd ie Ryan Gauld potentially? Surely we try these guys in the next friendlies!
  21. Steve Clarke & John Carver saying publicly they know their squad and there’s maybe 1 place to be decided prior to 4 warm up games with a chunk of the season left doesn’t help player motivation or enthusiasms for these games. The squad is playing like a bunch of guys who know they are on the plane to Germany regardless of form or performance. Dykes can’t score in a barrow load of fannies at club level but was handed a start last night and was invisible for an hour against much worse defenders than we will face in Germany. following this run and these friendly performances there should be several places up for grabs. Why were there 4 goalies in the squad and only 3 strikers 😂 Why no wingers!? If there aren’t obvious ones, find some? We had no spark whatsoever - Ryan Gauld? Why not try it, these are friendlies FFS.
  22. Shankland 100% should have started. Team played with about as much charisma as one of Clarke’s interviews. We need wingers not Kenny pointy pirate hat wanker McLean subbed on to do hee haw. Just gash. Oh well nevermind 😂🤦🏾‍♂️
  23. The overhit crosses from Patterson, McGinn, Armstrong. Quite unbelievably poor
