Lets imagine it happened at the other end,we'd never stop hearing about it. Utter utter cunts!

Not even a VAR review. Something not right there.

Ghana should have had a penalty too. Its truly a load of shite.
Hydration breaks in the middle of pissing down rain too, just get these yanks to fuck!

I thought you meant the Konsa last ditch foul on their attacker that wasnt even checked. Stonewall and not in a gay way. Not even a VAR delay.

Pickford was lucky earlier when he thought about a Battiston style assault on the Ghana attacker but pulled out.

Bosnia leading 2-0, if they win that's one 3rd place team on 4 points.

Utter disgrace of a 1st half.

It'll end up 3 or 4 and we'll have one shot on goal (if that).

Arabdownsouth · 25/6/2026 12:04 am

Embarrassing performance that English fans will be laughing at for years to come. Fucking disgraceful defending (well non defending I should say). We are gonna end up taking a hammering and will be on the plane back home without kicking another ball. 2 shots on target so far in the whole competition ffs and now we add clown defending to our repertoire. Makes our Euro performances look positively incredible!

Another 'at least we got here' tournament.

I want Scotland to do well, of course i do, bur fuck me, fuck buying into this, just book a holiday away with your mates and scratch the expense of these matches.

Arabdownsouth · 25/6/2026 1:16 am

I sincerely hope we do not now squeak through at the expense of some other team. We absolutely deserve fuck all, I honestly wish the Denmark result hadn't happened. I'd make the cunts get the bus home!

The question at 7:15 and his answer to it really sums up this boring, dinosaur of a man.

4 more years of this pish.

Alienates Lennon Miller, to take then Fletcher, who he can give game time to, to lock him into Scotland.

Then doesn't even give him a run out.

I'm not saying Miller was the answer, but it smacks of Clarke doing his "I'm the boss, everything I do is right, even if it isn't!" Which we've seen on many occasions before.

Knew we'd get pumped from Brazil, ironic thing is we had more shots on target against them than we did against Haiti and Morroco combined.

We have some genuinely good players but they are not on the level other countries have, does not help with how Clarke sets out to play though, I thought we'd also get hammered from Morocco but we could have got something out of that game if we just went for it a bit more, earlier in the game.

Unreal that the SFA gave Clarke a new contract before the WC.

Worst ever performance at a tourney in Euro 2021, followed than up with an even worse Euro 2024.

Granted we did really well in qualifying for Euro 2024, so he earned the right to take us there.

Winning the group was unexpected for the World Cup, but we were all happy to ignore performances in exchange for results given it was a 28 year wait, but we were rotten in both games v Denmark and were hanging on v 10 men until the last kick of the ball at Hampden.

Even v Greece, they should've been out of sight at Hampden, and then gave us a football lesson over there..

Football is a results business, it's the only stat that matters and we'd all take a shite season/cup run if it brought the ultimate reward, but to have no real plan once you get there for the 3rd tourney on the bounce is nonsense.

Steve Clarke resigns.

Sad it came to this, but the right decision.

Just when you need a wee lift there it is.

A dinosaur of a coach. Without doubt the players liked him but probably because he was so forgiving.

He bottled the first Euros we qualified for.

He bottled the second Euros in Germany where we we absolutely stinking under his tactics.

The US World Cup is debatable but the meek negative dour performances personified the coach. If you can't get more out of McTominay McGinn Robertson and Christie at these tournaments there's something far wrong.

If they appoint Naismith we'll just get more of the same. We need to bin the memories of Bertie Vogts forever and get a really good European coach in.

Watching Panama last night - under the cosh with little possession against a much better team - I could clearly see what they were doing. Defend, well, and counter attack with pace and power. They created lots of chances and looked a threat every time they got forward. Also look at the USA - pochetino has filled the team with younger, fast, athletic players and they have a real identity and style of play. Think they would beat us comfortably with a squad I don’t think, on a man for man basis, is as good as ours.

Contrast that to Scotland, who I believe have much better players - can’t defend, have no attacking threat and don’t create many chances.

I am worried right now as I think this is the last tournament for quite a few of our big time players. I don’t think we got near enough out of them. Berti rebuild going to be required. Whoever we get in needs to have a clear vision and style - then pick players that for into that. Not his mates he has insisted on playing no matter how good or bad they are.

Clarke, in my opinion, probably did the best with what he had. We can all argue about player selections and tactics till the cows come home.

Football evolves and changes: nutrition, performance psychology, training techniques, philosophies etc. Our approach never adapts: Indulge the foreign coach for a few years, then dump him if he fails to qualify for the next tournament and appoint a Scottish coach.

If you look at the backroom staff of other national teams, it is quite revealing: USA has 3 mental coaches (that’s not including psychologists). Most other nations have at least one athletic coach. The Netherlands have 3 “opponent” coaches. What do we have? Naismith, Alan Irvine Chris Woods and a few other Scottish bods who I have never heard of.

If I was the SFA, I would consider giving a foreign coach ( Hjulmand) two World Cup cycles to establish a dominant “philosophy” i.e. a dominant style of play. He would have to figure out the best way to develop a youth programme.

If we go for Moyes, I can pretty much name the backroom team : Billy McKinlay, Alan Irvine, Charlie Adam, David Weir.

If no European coach wants the job, I would consider Postecoglou.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing time and time again and getting same same (shit) result.

RogerTheAlien · 28/6/2026 9:22 pm

He’s the best Scotland manager of all time. He rejuvenated our nation. Correct decision though as the tournaments have absolutely been failures.

Arabdownsouth · 30/6/2026 6:28 pm

Fucking cheerleaders and music during the timeout, second quarter about to get underway. Hope to fuck the wide receiver manages a touchdown!

Fuck America!!

Q. If I keep diving will a referee eventually get conned?
