  1. Past hour
  2. What is this arms outstretched thing? I’m trying to picture it but cannae. Can someone please post a photographic depiction? Is it like this??
  3. Lol fair enough I had it on my head that they were for some reason.
  4. Not much info but seen Danny Cadamerteri(if anyone remembers him) sons is in our youth team, Caelen and the brother is in the England u19s. Guessing he was born in Dundee or relatives.
  5. Im not following your logic here. Shankland got 70 odd minutes but thats not enough over 2 games but Dkyes got 70 mins in just one game and Adams about 40 over 2 games yet Dykes and Adams are Clarkes clear favourites? Would it not make more sence to say that Clarke doesnt doubt Shanklands ability to score against teams like NI but there were questions about the rest of his game against top level opponents. Hence why he started the Holland game. (And passed that test btw as Clarke stated after). Ferguson is not currently a better player than McTomminay or McGinn in the attacking mid positions. I agree that id have liked to have seen him start one of the games however as big a fan as I am of him, he has done nothing in a Scotland shirt to push himself into the team. As for McGinn up front, I have no idea what you are basing this on. He is probably the laziest player in our team, doesnt have pace, cant win headers, doesnt have skill in terms of beating a man and has to my knowledge never played up front in his life. If the above is your basis for criticising Clarke then I suggest you rest your case.
  6. Agree with this. For all of the tongue in cheek, "we're just lulling everyone into a false sense of security and then we'll pelt them at the euros" patter, there's possibly an element of truth to it, however unintended it's been..! The past few games should hopefully keep all of the players down to earth and with a wee point to prove. I also feel a similar way about our opposition at the euros. Both Switzerland and Hungary are beatable, but good enough that we won't take them for granted. Ideal for our mentality IMO. I think that for better or worse, the team took both the Czechs at the euros and Ukraine in the WC playoff a wee bit for granted for different reasons (Czechs at home and had beaten them recently, Ukraine's first game since the war had started so thought they'd be rusty) and it came back to haunt us. When it comes to Germany, in the opening game in Germany, well that's ultimate underdog territory so we'll be in our element. The other two games, I think we'll respect them enough that there'll be no complacency (I hope..) especially after what's just happened in the friendlies.
  7. Today
  8. You're being slightly obtuse on this one...that song is very much an issue for many Scots
  9. Kilt and a Scotland top on matchdays. Given the expected temperatures, talcum powder will also be a must. I'll stick the kilt on other days when I'm there, depending when the mood takes me. The day after a Scotland win I'll be likely to have it on.
  10. Regarding our recent poor results, honestly, I think this is a good thing. Being long in the tooth, it is fairly clear that Scotland do best when they're feeling the heat and need to roll their sleeves up. I'm thinking Sweden 90, Holland 78 and various other less memorable occasions. When we're angry and under pressure, bring it on. We've got the players to do it, of that I have no doubt.
  11. It's got some zingers in it. It's amazing what qualifying for a tournament with a couple of games to spare can do. What's your opinion on the Billy Connolly song 'Evil Scotsman' and how do you make roasted cheese?
  12. Nah, he can take players recovering from injuries, but who will be fit for the later stages.
  13. Aye we were the same…. Loyalty points still not updated yet
  14. Nonsense. Clarke will call up Cammy Bell if he has extra spaces for a keeper.
  15. Not camping myself, but just wondering if they have an 11pm noise curfew and we get out the group 😄
  16. I agree. It’s like increasing the number of subs to five from 12 or whatever it is. Only helps the big, rich clubs.
  17. Düsseldorf to Cologne easy as fuck 😎

    Just a 'curveball', 'left field' description 🇺🇲🇺🇲😁
  19. I don't think this would help Scotland at all. It's a big help to the bigger nations who can call on big squads of very good players. It would make Clarkes job of picking the squad a lot easier, but he would just be filling the squad with players that he hopes he won't need to use.
  20. I thought he was at it. Looked like he couldn't be arsed right from the kick-off.
  21. He must be at it. I've never not seen a few in the away section with their arms outstretched.
  22. Or, Jim Baxter was a winger.
  23. So you are saying the Northern Irish supporters were singing up to their knees in f***** blood at an international? Surely you've misheard. I cannot see that being the case.
  24. The clincher will be if he says "5-3-2" or "Kimmich plays there for Germany". Jury's out until then.
  25. Ok, but that's a different conversation. It helped a wee bit. But we only got 3 nations League points for that. If we had humped them like that in the first game then I think we would have been going to the WC.
