Euro 2020/21? I'd agree with that. People will go on about Marshall got picked ahead because he played in the playoff match and the penalty shoot out to get us there. But I think Gordon playing in the Scottish Championship that season (having barely played for Celtic the season before) was the bigger issue. If Hearts were in the Scottish Premiership Gordon starts in that Euros.

astonishing statement from Glasgow City Council. Astonishing in that it says fuck all to address the real issue. They would have been as well saying “diversity is our strength”. Prioritising the “new Scots”. 📢 Statement on the importance of community cohesion by Councillors Susan Aitken, Rashid Hussain, Jon Molyneux and Martha Wardrop, and John Daly ⬇️ -------------------- Glasgow has always been a city built on compassion, respect, and community spirit. We must not allow fear, intimidation, or division to undermine those values. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their home and neighbourhood, and we strongly condemn any behaviour that threatens individuals, families, or public safety. We are also concerned by the spread of misinformation and disinformation online. It is natural to be concerned or unsure about situations when people have set out to confuse or even lie to us and our communities – and false and unverified information can quickly fuel fear, increase tensions, and cause real harm to innocent people. We can all play a part in pushing back against misinformation by looking critically at what we see online and verifying information through trusted sources before sharing it. We recognise that recent events have caused anxiety and distress for many residents and we support the work Police Scotland has been doing to respond. Glasgow City Council will continue to work closely with Police Scotland, community organisations, and local partners to support those affected, provide reassurance, and promote community cohesion. Glasgow is at its best when we stand together. We ask everyone to remain calm, reject misinformation, treat one another with respect, and help ensure our city remains safe, welcoming, and inclusive for all.

Gordon should have played at the euros.

Alex Neill definately worth a punt.

Was Stevie bottom of the list?

Must be similar lifetime I agree with the Goram and Leighton being the top 2 although not sure which order I'd stick them. Gordan is 3rd. McGregor is 4th, Marshall 5th. Then its a big distance to whoever we put in 6th. If he had avoided injuries and played in one of the recent tournaments, or we had qualified for Euro 2008 (or continued that form into World 2010 qualifiers and made it) Gordon would go down as number 1

Thank you. The reality. I'll say it again and I'll stand by it, if they are good enough they play! Even if Scotland still had a reserve league it wouldn't make a significant difference. How well they develop when they run away from Scotland at 16/17 to a system which invests in youth development proves it.

Eh right, cool 👍

is there a Merseyside or Liverpool Tartan Army branch?

its alright… Andy has said he is only going to ask for more taxes. he will be quite happy when I tell him to fuck off.

I'll fling it in here seeing as we don't have an Away Games section Flying out the 30th September (although don't get in till about midnight). Fly back on the 4th. So I'll get 2 good days of sight seeing before game day. Anyone that's been before got recommendations?

😂👍

Cricket legend Sir Garfield Sobers dead at aged 89, had a good innings 😎

I still think and experienced / good potential coach partnership would be the way forward. Get Strachan back with either Fletcher, Brown or Maloney ( or others, McAllister, Collins?) on the understanding that the younger man will take over after the 2028 Euros. Sure WGS would relish the job.

Maybe not on the TAMB, but there is in the climate sciences. 20 years ago there were competing models, but they've been disproven, and their proponents welching on the bets they made. Galina Mashnich and Bashkirtez just stopped responding to emails when they lost their bets. Two Solar physicists against climate change. You'll find the same merchants of doubt arguing against tobacco, acid rain, ozone and climate chain throughout the years but that doesn't mean anything.

And just for fun... 😉

Looking at salaries of head coaches at WC 2026 it appears that the Argentina and Spain coach's salaries do not come close to Agent Tam's. Of course, an honourable mention to Roberto Martinez who raked in 4 million. Extraordinary how much he has earned over the years destroying golden generations in Belgium and Portugal.

Looking at St Harry's record, it appears not so much different to his team, all against smaller nations and only one goal in the last 8. A penalty against France. Has to be noted that he also missed a penalty in that game. I believe the Qatari population are still confusing its final trajectory with incoming missiles from iran. So yes, the great man scores for fun against DRC, Panama and Tunisia but when it comes to the business end of tournaments, he is totally found out. Mark him down as fraud.

You could say there is no consensus on any of the contentious issues on this thread. But some positions have more scientific or legal basis than others. See 'There is no dark side of the moon...'

I think he's no friend of Scotland; certainly no friend of Scotland as a nation (as opposed to just a northern region of the UK), or Scottish self-determination.

A legend. I wonder if it's possible to guess at how many points he helped gain or salvage over his many years' service? Difficult, as several players could be said to help build up to a goal or help to defend. But there must be a number of cases where a top class save kept us in the game, saved us losing two points or one point, or helped keep goal difference respectable. I mean if you could count those points over his many years, he must be as influential as some of our strikers whose goals more directly credited with getting us the points...

Have they been reading the TAMB? 😅
