A few have mentioned moving BGD but I think that would also waste one of our better attacking outlets. He played centrally for the U21s and it didn’t really work and even when he did beat his man for pace, his finishing is woeful. He’s much better hugging the touchline and cutting the ball back or crossing it in

Tbf, Hickey & Johnston are injured, McCrorie, Patterson & Ralston are in the squad. The only other RBs who’d be on standby are maybe young players like Donovan, MacPherson or Lobban. Makes sense SOD would be on the list

Finlay Pollock? When did he last play a game? There’s been desperate for wingers and then there’s whatever this is

I think that’s probably my main criticism of Clarke’s selections. Ultimately most of the players who’ve missed out aren’t better than what we’ve got or are at a similar level but when it comes to wide options we’re really lacking. I think Lawrence still has a ways to go, he’s only just playing senior football recently but I’d have liked to have seen both Curtis AND Mebude called up to have options with a bit more pace than McGinn or Christie. Conway now playing off the left for Middlesbrough rather than an out an out striker will probably be helping his chances for the world cup

I believe they have to be notified but Clarke has said he won’t be getting in touch with all the ones who don’t make the final 26

It’s very unlikely the list of 55 would actually be published (even if it would be interesting to see), it’s just an internal thing for FIFA

I bought a Cat 3 ticket and I’m in 207 which on the seating plan people have posted is cat 4. Looked on view from my seat.com and it looks decent enough so not too fussed https://aviewfrommyseat.co.uk/venue/Hill+Dickinson+Stadium/seating-plan/

What I’d like to see vs what I think Clarke will go with

Don’t suppose anyone knows if there’s any particular pubs where Scotland fans are congregating before the Ivory Coast game?

I think people who bought them from Everton have started receiving them directly

Goal and an assist for Robbie Ure

Shankland back on the bench today for Hearts

Tuchel has said he's going to the World cup as England's 'training GK'. When you already have 3 GKs in a World cup squad, plus a goalkeeping coach, how could you possibly need a 'training GK'?

It's got to be Gunn for me
