Too many injuries fucked him.

Its a shocker of a result but fuck me its unreal how little leeway or slack that clarke is getting. No wonder no cunt wants the Scotland job. You take the team to its first world cup play off in years and you qualify for the first tournament in 22 years and you have supporters wanting you sacked after one horror result.

Name me other games that we should be winning and havent? Ukraine and czech rep are tough matches. Take a look at czech rep recebt results. They are a good team. To me having 1 bad result like todays doesnt merit a sacking especially when clarke has done well overall.

Ukraine are a good team. I aint talking about games that were 50/50 matches. Pretty sure theres only been a couple of really bad results in clarkes tenure. We are not entitled to turn up and beat teams like ukraine or czech rep. You have to accept that with a squad of our abilities that we will occasionally lose games to the likes of ukraine czech rep etc. If i said to you before clarke was appointed that he would have us qualify for the euros and make the play offs of the world cup would you have been happy with that outcome? If your answer is no to that question then you were deluding yourself or forgetting how poor we have been this last 20 years.

You would sack a manager who has done well so far over 1 bad result.

We were discussing strachan. If you read back through the posts you will see.

This thread comedy gold. Wales draw with belgium while we got humped off the worst ireland team in decades or possibly ever.

Its probably part of the reason clarke doesnt bother with 442. If we had a couple of world class wingers we wpuld probably play a 442 or 433. Obviously the other main reason is to fit tierney in.

We dont have much in terms of wingers if we try to play 442. Forrest whos never fit and barely plays well for scotland and a fraser who never turns up is really all we have unless we choose to try brown or armstrong on wings. I reckon a 433 could work when frasers fit. Adams, brown and fraser as a front three might be an option against weaker sides. Plenty of pace in that front three as well.

Madness really. Short memories or just delusional expectations.

Can coopers bride play cb lol?

From what i remember the start of tenure was pretty good but in the middle period he had some poor results and performances but then in the last year things started to pick up again and we looked like improving. Hes not ideal but its a case of being realistic. At least the future managers wont have the pressure of trying to make our first tournament in 22 years. That monkey is off our backs.

I think souttar needs a run in the team. Hes played well against denmark and armenia and our regular centre backs have let us down alot. Not saying they should be binned but the ranking order of who plays in the back three has been totally thrown into chaos after these three results and i think souttar and tierney once fit are the only two i would completely trust. The others will need to earn their places again.

Alot of ppl will hate this suggestion but i quite liked how we played under strachan. Not suggesting i would like to see him replace clarke immediately but if clarke for some reason just left suddenly i wouldnt be against strachan getting another crack at the job. I know ppl will turn their nose up at strachan but its a case of realistic options. Guys like clarke and strachan are near to the ceiling on what we can realistically expect.

I think a comfortable win is paramount otherwise its not looking good. Couldnt see the sfa sacking him after what hes achieved but there will be a large amount of fans who will want him gone. There already seems like a large minority on here who think he should be gone and have been itching for a result like this to stick the boot in a guy whos done a pretty good job so far.

Lol its quite unbelievable how quick ppl can turn on a manager whos overall done quite well for us. Saying that a loss to armenia and hes probably gotta go or should go.

This is just a poll for folk like myself to see what percentage of ppl want him sacked. The discussion can happen elsewhere for all i care.

Denmark and england stand out as good performances against top opposition jnder clarke. We have always had good performances against a top nation regardless of manager but clarke has given us a bit of consistency against the lesser teams.

Tbf Your pulling out fringe squad members from that era. We had some decent players back then as well but this generations squad are slightly better quality overall.

With a poll?

Should clarke be sacked after todays result?

Lol you think biesla is realistic target for us?

You want a manager who has taken us to our first tournament in 22 years and a world cup play off to be sacked over a bad result?

I was initially happy to discuss the subject with you but as you can see through all the posts you have listed you refused to answer the most basic questions. I think you are so far from reality that its hard to get any sense from you and have a meaningful discussion. In the end i gave up.

Tbh i dont think ppl want to continue discussing the subject with you. You seem to be on the wind up or you are genuinely on another planet from the rest of us.
