As it says on the tin... ...I was against his appointment because his c.v. was unconvincing to say the least...I have seen nothing from him to suggest I was wrong.

He did that...the media however,would have us all believe that he was utterly hopeless

I think the SFA were stung by the failure of Berti Vogts, and ever since then have refused to consider a foreign manager so we end up with hasbeens or never havebeens from Scotland.

We'll never know who was interested in the job...the media picked Clarke and the SFA ran with it in much the same way that they did when Levein got the job. I'd have loved to have seen them carry out proper due diligence, but they didnt and Clarke has managed to get himself a decent wee earner. He done a decent job at Killie by getting them to 3rd place

Steve Clarke isn't the answer... being offered the Scotland job after a good 18month spell with Kilmarnock is utter nonsense

Robertson being captain isn't a problem...captaincy in modern fitba is outdated nonsense. Robertson's problem (and something he needs to get his head around) is that he doesnt have VVD beside him, Fabinho inside him and Mane, Salah and Firmino to hit...he has Lyndon Dykes up front on his own.

Fuck sake

Given the utter tedium on other discussions with folk actually claiming Newcastle arent a big team, and non-weegie old firm fans arent gloryhunters, I thought a change would be good... ...given McBurnie and Fraser have both pulled out because they are not match fit and given the fact the english season hasn't started yet and most of the players down there will be a bit rusty, what would your squad be if you could only pick players playing in Scotland?

A big fan base, but not a big club...read that back ffs

Wow

Not a big club, but have a big fan base? The amount of fans is the very definition of how big a club is

Correct...I'm actually a bit surprised he didnt just got with a squad made up solely of players playing in Scotland

Did a Geordie pump yer Mrs?

Your last 16hours of posts

Yes...yes I am

I cannae believe you are still peddling this nonsense

It's because you're not a fanny

You suggested it's a side ways move, it clearly isn't... ...Bournemouth arent even a championship size club

I've met a few

English clubs in general would prefer to keep their players where they can see them at this stage of preseason I'd have thought

The vast majority are gloryhunters with dubious stories of where their granda was born etc etc

I'd be very surprised...I've not met any that fall out of my four categories...plenty that would deny it right enough

Parochial, small minded...I'd actually suggest that's a way to describe the old firm sheep... ...losers? In my teams case, I'm certainly nae gloryhunter

12000 at their lowest ebb...bournemouths stadium cannae even haud that... ...I'm actually amazed that this is a discussion point, Newcastle and Bournemouth are nowhere close to being similar sized clubs
