Might be a fud but he seems on this showing to be on a higher level than Grant Hanley.
Neither of the Souttar brothers can seem to go a full season without getting a serious injury.
Wouldn't be surprised if both retire early.

I fear a classic case of if he's not good enough for England, we will get the dibs on him.
On that note, we should cap Elliot Anderson ASAP
That's still not enough, I'm afraid.
Rule changes a few years ago mean that he's only tied to us after three senior caps in competitive games. It is a shite rule but there we are, unfortunately.
If it were up to me one cap (friendly or competitive) would be enough. In fact I'd go further and make an U21 cap enough to tie you down for life.

both Senegal and the Dutch would beat us comfortablyWe drew 2-2 against the Dutch last year and would have won the game 2-1 but for a dodgy free kick that should never have been awarded.
You really don't half post some amount of woefully informed, pig ignorant shite on this forum.

Gemmill has to be sacked. These results are happening far too often.
The man is a professional loser.

Whether it's a friendly or not,surely we should ask better than that from them?
I'd have loved it if we had won but I truthfully cannot say that it has ruined my night.

ABSOLUTE SHITE.Worst Turkley team i can remember.They were garbage and we were absolutely minging.Any half decent team would have scored 3 or 4 against them.Defending was terrible.Only positive from the whole game was McGinn's goal.Only positive thing personally from this game was i never wasted money travelling to watch it.COMPLETE SHIT.The only thing that can be said was it was a friendly.It was that bad that even Tierney played like a TURD.
Have a glass of water and a lie down.
It was a friendly.

Clarke tried something different tonight with the formation 1st half that didn't work . He had mctominay and mcginn wide of armstrong in 3 behind dykes with gilmour behind them all on his own.
2nd half when we went to 4231 we again looked gd and robertson in front of tierney worked.
Both of them have to play.
Team going forward I would like to see.
Gordon
Hickey hendry mckenna tierney
Mctominay macgregor
Patterson mcginn robertson
Dykes/adams
That's imo all our best players on pitch and against pot a teams we have added defensive awareness with robertson and patterson.
I think there is a degree of risk as to how Hickey/Patterson and Tierney/Robertson would work. However, I think it's worth a try next year.
It's also time to say thanks and goodbye to Ryan Jack and Grant Hanley, they just haven't got "it" anymore.

Clarke made it a pointless exercise
Alright, who do you want in charge instead then ?
This will be funny.

Hendry and McKenna looked fairly solid the last few matches. He changed it and we look worse. Not a fan of Hanley at all anymore.
I know Hanley has a modest fan club but I don't get what they see in him. I appreciate he puts the effort in and have no doubt he is proud to pull on the jersey and get out there but all the same ....
He's slow, easily prone to panicking, too often caught out of position, ridiculously clumsy and physically always looks absolutely fucked (face and jersey soaked with sweat, face beetroot red, visibly panting for breath) after about an hour on the park when the rest of his teammates are fine.
I wouldn't pick Hanley anymore. Call it day.

Games like this make me wish UEFA/FIFA would allow you the option to hold a training camp instead of a friendly.

Most of our best players are available so i expect us to be able to at least keep possesion for a handful of passes. Thats not alot to ask.
Let me guess you were 4-0 up against turkey by half time on your game of FIFA and are scratching your head wondering why can't do that in reality ?

Just now, mccaughey85 said:
I think most of the team have looked poor. They look well off the pace and sloppy as fuck.
It's a hastily arranged friendly being played when the rest of the world is focussing on the World Cup, what did you expect ?
At least most of the players actually turned up which wouldn't have happened under several previous managers for a game like this.

Thanks for that.
They usually put one up on another page but haven't bothered this time.

I'm following the live text now on BBC
Got a link to it ?
It's not showing up on mine.

how do you watch this on social media?
No idea. This game has been subject of very little publicity from the SFA and the media.
The BBC aren't even bothering to do live text updates. Only 1700 people are listening to the radio feed.

Regarding the panic that 3-5-2 is returning permanently, I doubt it is. He has probably gone back to it for this one match because he's been deprived of three right backs/wing backs - Hickey, Patterson and Ralston.
-
Hanley still gives me the fear.

Get this idea to feck.

Give the 2 non-Gordon goalies a half each.
I'd definitely give Kelly the whole second half but I wouldn't give McCrorie (who is third choice at his club) a game unless a nightmare injury scenario unfolds.
McCrorie really needs to get his arse into gear and get first team football next season.

Aye, Prof Ronald MacDonald of pro-union propaganda unit These Islands has apparently made that claim - this is the same guy who eight years ago said that a currency union with rUK would be a disaster for Scotland!
These Islands were pumping out propaganda at a rate of knots last week, including a rubbishing of Scotland's renewable energy potential. Of all the targets to go for that seems like one of the hardest to hit, but given the pro-independence side haven't made nearly as much capital out of either Scotland's potential in this area or the ongoing energy crisis, I'm not surprised they've tried to run with it.
Prof. Ronald MacDonald - is that his actual name ? 😆🤣

Elliott Anderson pulls out again....
I've given Anderson the benefit of the doubt in the past year but I think it's now becoming clear that he is taking the piss out of us.
Give his place in the U21s to a young Scots kid who would love to get that jersey on.

So he gave up on us calling him up and played for his 3rd choice?
That's pretty much it.
Anyway, I think we have somewhat better options in central defence now than we did a few years ago when Caulker was being suggested as a potential Scotland player.

Couple of days, won't call anyone up unless he wants to have a look at Caulker!
I take it you don't know that Caulker declared for Sierra Leone a couple of years ago and now has ten caps for them ?
