  1. 5 pages on a song where around a third of the comments are about the song 👀 Getting back on topic, last time I heard it sung was on the train to Mount Florida for the Israel game it was then followed up by if you hate the fuckin English clap your hands. Personally I think there's a lot of mock outrage and whatabootery when it comes to football chants, but at the same time I certainly wouldn't be singing it and I think it's time we moved on from songs such as these. Thing is the train did have non TA passengers as well, if I was one I'd be thinking what's the difference between some of the Old Firms dodgy songbook and this?

    For those who saw the match, how was Gunn?

    Seems he did well, can't argue with a clean sheet.

    Spain had 3 attempts on target which he dealt with but none were difficult saves. He had one difficult pass back which he mis kicked backwards and he got booked for time wasting. That sounds like faint praise but he seemed pretty solid.

  3. The benefit of having McTominay playing CB in a back 5 is he can play the ball out of defence, link up with the midfield or even be a threat going forward. The problem is because he's not a natural defender he has and will make big mistakes against decent opposition. Thing is Clarke could probably get away with playing him there in the next few games, it'll (hopefully) yield positive results against inferior opposition  and he could make an argument for it making sense. Then we play a team like Ukraine or later in the year, erm Ukraine and it all unravels again. I don't have the answers either though, because any combination of the CB's in the squad that we have tried weren't exactly setting the heather on fire either. 

  4. We've never had a striker that's scored consistently since Kenny Miller. Dykes looks like he could be joining the likes of Rhodes, Fletcher and Griffiths as someone who looked like the answer until they weren't. Although the defence looks better, qualifying for tournaments by scoring as little as we do is a big ask to say the least. 

  5. Went in about half an hour before entry time (meant to be 1pm - 1.30pm) no problem. People weren't following the seating plan, which stewards didn't seem to bother about. The steward at our bit kept telling people to wear masks but was mostly ignored. TBH I felt a bit sorry for her as it was a thankless task.  There was a couple of announcements about wearing masks in the second half and people did seem to comply more than before. Also I kept both tickets on one phone and it wasn't an issue, 1st person scans at turnstile hands over phone either before going through or after through the gaps in the turnstile.

  6. Crocker spends the first fifteen minutes of a game reading out facts, his commentary after that consists of saying player names and repeating the same facts. There is less repetition while playing a game of FIFA. I hate watching  ANY game that he is involved in, not because he's English, it's because he's shite.

    You can probably get it on your phone and cast to your TV.

    You can't. I've tried.

    NowTV blocks screen mirroring/Smart View.

    I can't guarantee this will work but it does for me with Sky go which also blocks casting to a TV.  Download the app on your laptop and stick in an HDMI cable to your TV.

    Cool. Thanks for that. :)

    I'll bookmark it. Ideally, I'd get one from eBay for peanuts, but if I can't get a medium (I've seen several small and large shirts, but very few mediums) then I'll probably end up biting the bullet and buying it from your link.

    No problem,  the only thing I would say about buying a vintage top is that sizing seems to have gotten bigger over the years. I found an old concert t-shirt from the early 90's that I'd never worn so it definitely hadn't shrunk. I'm between L and XL, the t-shirt was XL and I was close to doing an incredible Hulk impression when I tried it on. Skin tight doesn't begin to cover it 😂

    Good shout.

    Looks like this is one wave of Scotland shirts that I won't be buying.

    Goodness knows how bad the away one will be.

    Meanwhile, I'm looking for a Euro 96 and France 98 shirt, so if anyone has one available... I'm a medium. ;)

  10. What Clarke was able to do as a club manager can't be replicated at International level due to not having the time to work with the players. If a player is an International he should be able to do the basics right, without intensive coaching. That's the biggest problem for me the players, especially at the back, aren't good enough. I think Clarke in a club setting would improve them but that's not the scenario here. I'm not giving up on him yet, but saying he got average players to perform at a high level at Kilmarnock is not comparable to the job he has now.
