Agree starting BGD was unwise .... exciting, brave player, but lacks experience v a well sussed team the callibre o' Brazil. Late sub would hae been a better play. Re, Clarke, and the team as a whole, referring to my previous posts - we need tae manage expectations. A 3-0 gubbing fae Brazil (as Ah said, ranked 6th ... but underrated at that), and a defeat v Morocco are nae shock results. A mere 1-0 v Haiti is the only shock (shocking) result in our campaign. The fact we still hae a chance o' progressin' is indicative o' the shit structure o' this WC tournament. The number o' teams admitted meant it was easier tae get there than previous WC tournaments .... surely, given such favourable chance, there should be nae need for this 'doggies life' 3rd place scramble. Dinna get ma wrang, if Scots get through, Ah'll be chuffed ... but ... holy fuck .... dae we deserve tae? Ah've a lot mair tae say aboot the structure o' WC 2026, which Ah'll hit yiz wi' a bit later ... but for noo? We were drawn in a bastard tough group .... playin' in hot humid conditions all 3 o' oor opponents were accustomed tae, and in terms o' each team's rankins, we were fucked fae the start, lookin' desperately tae become unfucked by the end. Overall, we failed ... but aa things considered, nae miserably. Specifically though, the Haiti game was far we failed worst. Yet, although Ah would cite the Haiti game as evidence tae ditch Clarke, Ah think he deserves credit for at least gettin' us here .... Aye, he could hae done better, but .... it's like askin a sparky tae finish aff a plumber's job.

I suppose I better add, Gunn had a good game. exactly the same feeling as the last two euros. So disappointed. Wouldn’t be gutted if we lost but played well, but even the Haiti game was a shit watch. We said we’d learned from those experiences but it has been the same flat blah slow uninspiring garbage. I don’t normally question Clarke too, and supported the extension, but his lineup tonight, especially starting a young doak, shankland up top, andand also a debatably match fit McKenna, was seriously questionable. As we the subs, both personnel and timing. I can only assume he thinks 3-0 is good enough to advance.

Classic Clarke performance this world cup. Absolutely shat the bed. Useless arsehole.

I was wondering if I was the Jonah as I was at those games (and Spain, Stuttgart, Norkopping....). It's not us it's a dirth of talent and rabbit in the headlights lack of bottle. Thank fck the Orange Cockwomble stopped me from going to this one.

Aye, we might hae been better goin wi' the Craig Levein 6-4-0 formation

Pass marks for Ferguson, that lad stepped up and really tried. Good world cup for him. The rest were shit. Doak shit himself and was a complete non factor, mcginn rarely involved, and mctom mediocre at best. Shankland hardly touched the ball but long ball to one up top says a lot.

As Ah commented followin' the Haiti game ... 'shades o' 74' ..... That was the game we needed tae score mair than 1 goal. Brazil ranked 6, Morocco ranked 7 .... Haiti ranked 83? ... Scots ranked 42. We were always gonna struggle v the top 2, so it was vital we 'built a cushion' v Haiti. In 74, we beat Zaire 2-0 .... and resorted tae time wastin' the last chunk o' the game ... somehow thinkin' we'd done enough. Do we ever learn?

The usual Clarkeball bollocks.

Three games and only the second half v Morocco is acceptable.

Now he makes changes up front. Words fail me.

Another piss poor tournament performance under Clarke. Getting a bit annoying now. At least we didn’t offer him a 3 year extension……

This is borderline farcical. wtf. I suppose Paterson is injured but why leave shankland and mcginn?

I assume Clarke has a holiday booked and advancing ruins his plans?

We’re gassed and have no pace other than tierney. Let’s not sub.

Fuck knows. Shankland and McGinn need replaced.

Why aren’t we subbing????

Exactly didn’t qualify for 28 years yet what’s changed they certainly don’t concentrate on technical ability in players.

Get doak mcginn and shankland off, not giving us much at all.

We’re shite. Why advance if this is the best we can do…?

Scratch that we are fucked 3-0.

Clarke will have us playing for 2-0 defeat as analytics still show 68% chance of going through.

Shankland and mcginn off for Christie and a forward. We’re doing nothing at present.

Could we play slower? Painful.

McTominay’s header in 48th minute was our first attempt on target since last 10 minutes of Haiti game.

It’s far too slow
