Lewis Morgan is only just back from a year out with a long term hip injury.
Think he’s scored 6 goals in 5 games since he came back.But the stats say he was shyte whilst he was lying on the treatment table. Can't argue with stats.

If it wasn't a typo, then she actually said the exact opposite of what you are suggesting.

When she spoke about gay marriage during the leadership election
I thought you'd just done a typo? 🤣 Which I was trying to point out, in my usual subtle manner.

The significant difference between Kate Forbes and Humza is that Kate Forbes said that she would impose her religious beliefs on the country.
I'm fairly sure she didn't.

The main headline on the bbc at the moment is "The king smiles at easter service". The state broadcaster really has passed over into Kim Yong Un territory.

I do tend to agree with that. I sold my ticket on for £25 because I couldn't justify charging my mate £35 for the pro-rated cost for this one game, being a friendly against a shit team. I know that's ironic because we lost.
I don't think it was actually any cheaper for individual ticket purchases. Perhaps one to think about on tournament/nations league years in terms of fan experience that can go into the yearly feedback form. A ticket package for a full qualification campaign at competitive match pricing is easier to do and more acceptable buying a match ticket for 5 competitive home games at £35 a pop for example.
I'd probably expect the turnout to be more like 40-45k for the Finland game being a Friday night and seeing that it's the send off game. It may be a bit much to expect a full house as mentioned previously a week before the tournament I'd imagine quite a few living outside the central belt wouldn't be too keen on spending money on travel/digs etc that they will be hoping to keep back to spunk in Germany.
Changed days. Back in 1978 30,000 turned up just to watch the squad tour round the running track on an open top bus.

Apologies for the selective quoting, however the bolded part is exactly why friendlies should not be part of any match packages. From the membership's perspective, their inclusion is not only sharp practice by the SFA, it is morally indefensible as a means of artificially boosting sales for fixtures that would otherwise be unattractive for many to attend purely for distance reasons alone, especially on midweek evenings.
Match packages should consist of competitive fixtures only. Anything else is taking advantage of members' loyalty.
I agree with that to a certain extent, but you don't have to buy the match package if you don't want to go to friendlies. Just buy tickets for the games you want.

McLeish got us within a game of qualifying too.
And he took us to the playoff which eventually got us qualified.

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.
-
I thought he was at it. Looked like he couldn't be arsed right from the kick-off.

The clincher will be if he says "5-3-2" or "Kimmich plays there for Germany". Jury's out until then.
Or, Jim Baxter was a winger.

No but did that not go a long way to redeeming ourselves for that game that everyone keeps banging on about?
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.

If it is then he has totally changed his style. Not impossible, I suppose.

No way. This is far better than any of Chipper's monotonous shyte.

“Extra three players, excellent”
”I’ll take 7 goalies”
🤣
This four goalies thing seems to have grown arm and legs. Do folk not realise that none of the four goalies stopped somebody else getting in the squad? He could have made the squad for these friendlies, as big as he wanted.
I really hope that this "four goalies" thing doesn't turn out to be Steve Clarke's equivalent of Levein's "no strikers" moment. 🤣

Two years ago. Things have changed. I think that even the OP has said he wouldn't sack him now. Apologies if I have got that bit wrong?

And we humped them even more at Hampden after that! Has everyone just forgotten about that game or what? 🙄
We were talking about bad results. I don't think anybody would say the game you mentioned was a bad result.

I will only accept folk saying Clarke should go if they can suggest a credible replacement who would be willing to take the job. I can only think of Michael O'Neill and he turned us down.
Who is saying he should go?

This for me also.
I remember when we were going into the last euros high on confidence thinking we were gonna do well especially being the home team then we got a tanking every game...
I have a feeling the same will happen again as we are not learning from past mistakes and still can't decide on what our best 11 is or formation considering the options we have available
I think he knows exactly who his best 15 or 16 players are. I just hope they are all fit and available for the whole tournament but that's unlikely to happen.

Here is a very well balanced article on the Hate Crime Bill. It's not often you get any balance in any MSM outlet these days. The new law is being defended by Adam Tompkins, former Tory MSP and arch SNP hater. They might just be doing an April fool on him though? 😉
