  1. We’re a couple of poor campaigns away from the SFA begging for our custom again at a half full Hampden, let’s see how much the SFA are worrying about non transferable tickets and taking favourite seats away from us then.
  2. Queried this to be told this will “no longer be available on the new system” Pretty angry tbh, absolutely needless, have had the seats for a long time
  3. Contacted the SSC e-mail about the favourite seat function to be told it’s not available anymore. Pretty unhappy about this, have had the same seats for a number of campaigns including games against Kazakhstan, San Marino when the crowd was sparse at best Just makes no sense and has needlessly annoyed me
  4. This Scotland team has something, the first Scotland team in my life that don’t accept “glorious failure” a Scotland team that demands winning and never ever thinks they’re out of a game, I love this group of players and manager. let’s do the business on Friday and give England a go.
  5. If you think 40 appearances in 3 seasons is regular football with many of these sub appearances I don’t know what to tell you. The point you made was that Mikey Johnston was somehow overlooked and it was a Clarke failing but there was little prospect of him being a contender for the squad as it stands no matter who was in charge. It’s fair comment about Jacob Brown but mostly because we’ve not seen him have a real opportunity in a Scotland shirt and I’ve only seen bits and pieces of him for Stoke.
  6. Mikey Johnston wouldn’t be anywhere near any Scotland squad under any manager, his end product is atrocious and hasn’t held a regular game at any point in his career. As a wide player/10 on top of Christie, Armstrong, Fraser I would say Ben Doak, Barrie McKay, Scott Wright, Dire Mebude, Glenn Middleton and even Steven Bradley would all be ahead of Johnston just now. The idea that Clarke is somehow ignoring or overlooking Johnston is laughable. Gauld and Morgan are fair comment, I would consider both for the squad but equally don’t think the MLS is a good career move for a player in early to mid 20’s and will very rarely see an upwards positive destination afterwards.
  7. His job at QPR and walks all over Steve Clarke’s record in the championship with Reading btw, it’s a hard league to manage in. Hardly as stupid a suggestion as is being made out. Which was my point. If Clarke does go I hope out of hope it’s not a Scottish merry go round manager whoever it is, I hope to god we hire someone different and with a positive, possession based style of play.
  8. Meant in general. People seem to think Warburton is a joke figure because he managed Rangers, nobody could have done much better under similar circumstances, some of the football Rangers played was excellent, their next appointment was a backwards step even after 10 million spent. His football philosophy is excellent, I’ve always loved watching his teams, total football.
  9. Don’t know why it’s hilarious. He’s a good manager, was let down by recruitment when he hired the guy Frank McParland after his first window at Rangers. consistently finished higher every season with QPR and performed above budget. He’s got more experience and serious pedigree in football coaching than others I I’ve seen mentioned in previous posts.
  10. Mark Warburton would be interested in my opinion, is available, has good knowledge of the Scottish game and would have us playing possession based football in a 4-3-3 as well as having worked with Lyndon Dykes before.
  11. Wasn’t just a bad performance, team looked like they’d chucked it. Reminiscent of the defeat against Wales before Burley got sacked or the game in Kazakhstan that got McLeish sacked.
  12. No way are they worse than San Marino. They don’t travel well, and they have really poor wing-backs, but they have a backing of good results against good sides over a number of years, they were in with a genuine shout of a World Cup play-off until the last few games. I think we were very professional tonight and performed well, disappointed not to score a few more goals though, reminded me of the Moldova game.
  13. You’re not supposed to fly with an abscessed tooth due to the pressure changes, if you’ve ever had a severe abscess you wouldn’t be downplaying the severity of it, I’d rather break my arm than have another tooth abscess. I believe that was the first camp that Robertson missed in his time with Scotland, he’s always available and reliable and he’s the best player in the world in his position in my opinion. His performance last week had nothing to do with the the previous weekend and everything to do with KT not being available to combine with on the left hand side.
  14. Badly missed Nathan Patterson’s pace and direct 1 v 1 running. Hickey’s more of a false midfielder than a wing-back.
