  1. We’re a couple of poor campaigns away from the SFA begging for our custom again at a half full Hampden, let’s see how much the SFA are worrying about non transferable tickets and taking favourite seats away from us then.
  2. Queried this to be told this will “no longer be available on the new system” Pretty angry tbh, absolutely needless, have had the seats for a long time
  3. Contacted the SSC e-mail about the favourite seat function to be told it’s not available anymore. Pretty unhappy about this, have had the same seats for a number of campaigns including games against Kazakhstan, San Marino when the crowd was sparse at best Just makes no sense and has needlessly annoyed me
  4. This Scotland team has something, the first Scotland team in my life that don’t accept “glorious failure” a Scotland team that demands winning and never ever thinks they’re out of a game, I love this group of players and manager. let’s do the business on Friday and give England a go.
  5. If you think 40 appearances in 3 seasons is regular football with many of these sub appearances I don’t know what to tell you. The point you made was that Mikey Johnston was somehow overlooked and it was a Clarke failing but there was little prospect of him being a contender for the squad as it stands no matter who was in charge. It’s fair comment about Jacob Brown but mostly because we’ve not seen him have a real opportunity in a Scotland shirt and I’ve only seen bits and pieces of him for Stoke.
  6. Mikey Johnston wouldn’t be anywhere near any Scotland squad under any manager, his end product is atrocious and hasn’t held a regular game at any point in his career. As a wide player/10 on top of Christie, Armstrong, Fraser I would say Ben Doak, Barrie McKay, Scott Wright, Dire Mebude, Glenn Middleton and even Steven Bradley would all be ahead of Johnston just now. The idea that Clarke is somehow ignoring or overlooking Johnston is laughable. Gauld and Morgan are fair comment, I would consider both for the squad but equally don’t think the MLS is a good career move for a player in early to mid 20’s and will very rarely see an upwards positive destination afterwards.
  7. His job at QPR and walks all over Steve Clarke’s record in the championship with Reading btw, it’s a hard league to manage in. Hardly as stupid a suggestion as is being made out. Which was my point. If Clarke does go I hope out of hope it’s not a Scottish merry go round manager whoever it is, I hope to god we hire someone different and with a positive, possession based style of play.
  8. Meant in general. People seem to think Warburton is a joke figure because he managed Rangers, nobody could have done much better under similar circumstances, some of the football Rangers played was excellent, their next appointment was a backwards step even after 10 million spent. His football philosophy is excellent, I’ve always loved watching his teams, total football.
  9. Don’t know why it’s hilarious. He’s a good manager, was let down by recruitment when he hired the guy Frank McParland after his first window at Rangers. consistently finished higher every season with QPR and performed above budget. He’s got more experience and serious pedigree in football coaching than others I I’ve seen mentioned in previous posts.
  10. Mark Warburton would be interested in my opinion, is available, has good knowledge of the Scottish game and would have us playing possession based football in a 4-3-3 as well as having worked with Lyndon Dykes before.
  11. Wasn’t just a bad performance, team looked like they’d chucked it. Reminiscent of the defeat against Wales before Burley got sacked or the game in Kazakhstan that got McLeish sacked.
  12. No way are they worse than San Marino. They don’t travel well, and they have really poor wing-backs, but they have a backing of good results against good sides over a number of years, they were in with a genuine shout of a World Cup play-off until the last few games. I think we were very professional tonight and performed well, disappointed not to score a few more goals though, reminded me of the Moldova game.
  13. You’re not supposed to fly with an abscessed tooth due to the pressure changes, if you’ve ever had a severe abscess you wouldn’t be downplaying the severity of it, I’d rather break my arm than have another tooth abscess. I believe that was the first camp that Robertson missed in his time with Scotland, he’s always available and reliable and he’s the best player in the world in his position in my opinion. His performance last week had nothing to do with the the previous weekend and everything to do with KT not being available to combine with on the left hand side.
  14. Badly missed Nathan Patterson’s pace and direct 1 v 1 running. Hickey’s more of a false midfielder than a wing-back.
  15. Absolutely no chance am I forking out for another broadcaster, can barely justify paying for Sky Sports, BT and Premier Sports for the cup matches already. Disgusting lack of awareness, hope the company acquiring them go bankrupt.
  16. 4500 tickets sold to Poland fans according to Ian Maxwell.
  17. Outstanding that 33’000 tickets have already been sold according to the social media channels. Wonder how close we’ll get to a sell-out. Great demonstration of how far Scotland have come and the new wave of support we have when a Thursday night friendly is getting this type of attendance.
  18. Thought Ryan Jack was brilliant for Rangers. I think if we were ever missing Gilmour or McGregor then he’s the most similar to the 2 we have when compared with McTominay or McLean etc. Hopefully keeps building his minutes and stays fit.
  19. There’s clearly a new generation of fans coming to games and this team has captured people that had never been invested in the Scotland team before. There’s more than 33,000 SSC members now which is brilliant but will always make it harder for folk like us who sat threw Hampden friendlies against the US and Belgium in front of 18,000 people etc. The better the team does the harder it’ll be to get tickets but I’m willing to trade that for the atmosphere and success just now. Have plenty of sympathy for the loyal foot soldiers who couldn’t afford the package or missed out on the north stand though.
  20. Rangers have produced our 2 best young players at the moment and Alex Lowry looked outstanding when he came on. With the loan system most of Rangers best prospects like Mayo, Williamson, Kennedy etc aren’t at the club, the B team is effectively an under 19 side and a level below the old under 20’s side even. Could obviously argue Lowry and King could have started but good to see the minutes they got.
  21. McTominay winner against Israel. Felt like a moment that put decades of “glorious failure” in the bin and made our new thing to get the job done no matter what. I love this Scotland team and they made me believe in football again in 2021.
  22. He was brilliant and gave us good balance with McGregor in the famous Serbia game. He was consistent for us imo.
  23. The passing exchange in the first half between McGregor, Gilmour, McGinn and Christie that set up the switch ball to Robertson and a counter attack might have been the best football I’ve ever seen from Scotland. It was like a marker of a new era of incredibly talented technical Scottish players with one move and something I’m not sure I thought I’d ever see. Loved everything about tonight.
  24. Don’t think you’re allowed to call up replacements for suspended players.
