Archie Gemmil beat more players to score that goal in 78 than the entire scotland team did at the euros this year. We've forgotten how to play football. We have no players that can pick up the ball and make something happen.
@@martinhenderson6351agree he should have started why did Clark bring him id have had him on &shankland nothing to do with hearts fan we needed goals
Scottish Player of the Year. League’s top goal scorer with 20 goals. Lawrence Shankland. Sat on the bench. Please explain?!
😮face it your a small fish in a small pond
The argument was Adams holds the ball up better lol it was a must win game it holding the ball up should be irrelevant.
I can explain it. It’s because Steve Clarke is the same as all other Scottish managers in that he uses the same awful rule of thumb whereby a player who plays in England at any level is assumed to be a better option than a player who plays in Scotland (and particularly if they play for a team other than the Old Firm), regardless of their respective records, form or even nationality for that matter. Hence, a bona fide Scottish goal machine like Shanks will always play second fiddle to English and Australian strikers who score very few goals provided they play at some level in England.
It was the same with Griffiths being overlooked in favour of barren strikers like Steven Fletcher
Clarke used to manage Kilmarnock, Shankland used to play for Ayr. The hatred runs deep.
@@brianmcghee9313 That's not what holding the ball up achieves... you keep the ball and so have a better chance of getting it towards goal. That was exactly the problem last night... you couldn't keep possession long enough to get it further than the half-way line.
Adam's is also a terrible hold-up player, I think he was on the pitch to press intensely (which he is quite good at).
Clarke's dour depressing demeanor matches his tactics. And that alone should have seen him sacked after the Germany game. Because he had no intention of playing any kind of attacking football. And with an attitude like that he got what he deserved. Fcuk all.
Totally agree, I always think the managers personality rubs of on the team. The guy would depress me before I left the dressing room.
I wouldn't judge his demeanor with his tactics although they were questionable. Alex Ferguson was quite a dour b*gger but didn't do too badly.
Thank god you are in charge of nothing important James. Put your hanky away.
@@thecraftyguy6358 Ferguson was like Mr Happy compared to Clarke!
The biggest problem was losing Dykes as he's integral to the counter attacking system Scotland tend to play against bigger teams. Witghout him we played second and third choice guys who were never going to be able to do it and as such we offered nothing going forward.
'It's the Tories fault' - SNP
I heard the Tories like a gamble when they know the outcome.
There are no Tories in Scotland.
@@paddymitchell4995 There is Tories in Scotland. They will probably do better than the SNP
' And the Argentinian referee...what he is doing in Europe I don't know !' What?!?!??!?
Ref was the most skilled on the field yesterday
That's nothing They have got a woman to referee the final.
@@scoopermanu 🤐
Even if we had a Scottish ref last night we still wouldn't score.😂
Thought the Scots loved all things Argentinian 😮😊
First off, Clarke has done brilliantly to get us to the last 2 Euros. Unfortunately that's where the praise for the Man ends, as his tactics in the tournaments has been nothing short of embarrassing.
He's shown he learned nothing from 2021. I honestly felt we could've got something from Germany. Historically, they start tournaments slowly(much like the Italians), they may not lose many group games, but they're there to be got at. We could've grabbed a point, had we actually had a go at them, and that would've been a great start. As it was, we roll over and get mauled.
Then he comes out saying '4 points was the target, and it still is'. That was when i started getting a few doubts. You've got a -4 goal difference, your mentality has to change. Had we only lost 2-1 to Germany, i might've been inclined to keep the 4 point strategy. As it was, he should've then flipped and decided to go for 6 points. The Swiss were there to be beaten, but once more, we were just that bit cagey. We come out with a point.
Now it's all or nothing in our final group game. Beat the Swiss, and we have the cushion of knowing a draw v Hungary, and we're through. Then we could've played the way we did, slow the game down, walking pace, no need to be gung ho, take it easy, control the game. I honestly couldn't believe how slow the pace of the Hungary game was. We HAD to win to be certain of qualifying, but we were playing as though we were 5-0 up in the Final and just playing the game out.
The argument about Shankland is moot. Shankland doesn't suit Clarkes style of play. He wouldn't have made any difference had he started any of these games. He'd have had the exact same instructions that Adams had. He was always being taken along in the squad to be an 'impact' sub. That if we were chasing a goal, on he'd come, and hopefully get on the end of something. That was his role in the squad.
For me, Clarke has to go. Yes, he gets us qualified, but once we're there it's embarrassing. We need a Manager who will take a wee risk now and again, play 2 up front and go at teams. Clarke isn't that Manager.
Armstrong stopped running and waited for the player to take him down instead of having the bottle to keep going. Tried to get a cheap Penalty.
Terrible tactics to negative
How pish were McGinn and McGregor whole tournie
“Pish” give me a bucket to throw up in
Robertson had a nightmare
The best you ever seen McGregor playing for Scotland " IS " ??????????????????????????????? LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN
agreed
What about MC Tom and Jerry 💩 BAMBI ON ICE 🤡
That was not a penalty, the Scottish player stumbled, jumped up,, then pulled the opponents shirt into him
exactly wokes in football call it a penalty boo hoo boys shameful
No shots on target in a game you had to win. As Matt Busby used to say "you can't win the raffle if you don't buy a ticket". Clarke got them to the finals, but he couldn't get them to turn up for two of the games. His team was frightened to take a chance. So it's on him.
They should have gone for it they had nothing to lose against a weak Hungarian team😮
These "weak Hungarians" beat England 4:0 on their home soil 2 years ago, mind you
A weak Hungarian team that put 4 by you's last season! ABE.
I´ve backed Clarke all the way but that´s all mate. Absolutely bottled it - tactically undone - terrible selections and poor excuses. Lick your wounds Clarke and move on. No more of this dross. One thing that really annoyed me was this "4 point target" - target 9 points and be happy if you get 4. He gave up the first game and was happy to settle for a draw against a Swiss side that only needed a point. THAT was the big chance to get back in the tournament. Again, bottled it. Why did he start Shankland in four successive friendlies to drop him for the finals? why did he pick Hanley in both pre-tournament friendlies to drop him for Porteous against Germany? Why did he ignore Forrest? Why did he perists with 5 at the back in a game we had to win, when that system was DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR KT AND ROBBO - We had to switch it up - MAYBE TRY A TACTICAL SURPRISE? Great managers, like Walter Smith, always had a trick up their sleeve - not just the same formation, same players, same system every game - really out of his depth.
👍👍👍👍 he hasn’t a fuckun clue about tactics
Che Adams as a left winger is quite possibly the worst selection of the entire tournament out of every nation competing. He's bad enough in his proper position as a striker, so I'm baffled he was played out wide in every game. Absolutely atrocious footballer, seemingly only on the pitch because he can "get amongst it" and smash into defenders, to absolutely no success
It is nice to have you in the group stage. Cute little countries are a good warm up. 1 point due to an OG and playing Che Adams up front. Watching you get smashed 5-1, and then concede in the 100th minute of a must win game was hilarious. Thanks for coming. See you again maybe 2030.
@@pauls3204 are u serious our best players are two left backs in robertson and tierney and 4 central midfielders in mcginn mctominay mcgregor and gilmour yet he managed to work out a system that qualified us twice in a row after 20 odd years beating the likes of spain on the way,we are a tiny nation and if we open up and try play to attacking we get hammered so we have to play to our strengths and hang in there,our next best players are two right backs in hickey and patterson who both missed out with injury just like serie A midfielder of the year lewis ferguson,maybe if wed had them and dykes we could have made it thru
@@SmolenskiPrince must make u feel really big and tough slagging off a nation ten times smaller than yours,nothing we ever fail at will ever come close to you losing to iceland or the tiny nation of croatia
Scotland are missing genuine strikers in the ilk of Dalglish, Robertson, Wark, and Gemmell, Simon was right that Scotland and northern England dont get any players, the shipyards and coal mines were the breading ground for talents.
We were dire. Bottles crashed left, right, and centre. Our big players were either injured or didn't perform. Clarke set us up negatively and that was seen in a lack of bravery and risk-taking on the pitch.
We haven't played well in over a year. Confidence is low, players out of position, and Clarke has shown an inability or unwillingness to change from his favourites or the system he found to shoehorn Robertson and Tierney into the starting XI.
Clarke has also been prickly, defensive, needlessly combative with the media. He makes few friends because of this and it just adds to the lugubrious air that is currently hanging around the team.
Clarke needs to go as he's taken us as far as he can. We thank him for his service and the qualifications...but it's time to go.
was a real shame Ferguson got injured. Under Motta he shone in one of the most progressive tactical systems in modern football. I'd have liked to see him alongside another very well coached player in Christie. But Clarke would have probably just played them both out wide. He's such a brexit manager.
@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Completely agree. It was also sod's law that we lost our top 2 right backs as well. Hickey would have made a difference in terms of the out ball on the right. Ralston was hopeless. I don't buy all this "showed character and dug in". If you're out of your depth at international level, you're out of your depth. No amount of application will mask it. And it didn't...
The Welsh team during the Bale years was far more cohesive and structured than Scotland. Scotland lack a world class fulcum, AND don't have the cohesion and structure either.
We qualified at Norway’s , Haaland and all , expense.
The Scots went into the tournament as if they were Gibraltar and went home as if they actually were Gibraltar - piss poor with next to zero expectations .
Stuart Pearce is ALWAYS worth listening to, and he has summed it up very well. I don't want to see any team as negative as Scotland progress TBH - it's non football, and I say that as a Scot.
agree
On that statement, England deserve to go out too
What does the nationality of the referee have to do with anything? Yes it was a pen but im not even convinced Steve Clarke would want us to shoot from it! 😂
Bottle jobs home before the postcards YET again .😁😁
Can you guys please fidn out what happened in the ManC vs PL lawsuit? The 2 weeks ended on Friday and no one has reported anything.
stop putting the blame on the referee, not every tackle in the box is a penalty. It's disrespectful to say because he is from Argentinian he shouldn't be there
you'd expect european referees at the euros. in the same way i wouldn't expect an english referee at the copa america
@@garyg1705Yet an Italian ref was on the USA Bolivia game. There's an exchange of refs between UEFA and CONMEBOL.
@@davidlaleye fair enough. still seems odd and unnecessary.
@@garyg1705 whyyyyy?
@@PazLeBon why what? why would I expect the euros to be officiated by the best officials who are located within and work within uefa competitions regularly? why the hell wouldn't I!? i don't understand why europe would need to import referees from other continents. it shouldn't really matter but it does strike me as odd.
While the penalty shout was a travesty, they took one point from a possible 9 , from 3 games in an easy group….
They just weren’t good enough !
On paper the Scottish side had arguably much better players than Hungary, including from big PL clubs like Liverpool, Man Utd, Aston Villa etc whereas Hungary were pretty much a one man (szoboszlai) team !
Wasn't a penalty
🎶🎶Oooooooh Kevin Csoboth,
Oooooooh Kevin Csoboth,

Maybe so, but I can tell you racists scum nothing is coming home 😂😂😂
Who’s putting England out I wonder? 😂😂😂
The 'I like the money' remark from Clarke tells you everything you need to know. Should be gone by teatime.
when you're wondering why Scotland have gone out in the group stages and they have Che Adams as their main striker 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 The Guy can't score consistently.
As a Scot, you're spot on but don't need the last word 😅
@@TheReasonableMan93 Sorry mate. As an Englishman I wanted Scotland to do well.
@lovejoy3347 appreciated, mate.
We Scots don't expect much, but showing no desire, heart, or passion to win is truly unforgivable.
Three hundred thousand fans, police roadblocks for pipers, bouncing stadiums... the list goes on.
And we get one shot on target from a defender in the 98th minute...
Honestly, lads, save us the trouble and exit during qualifying. Let a team with a desire to win try their luck as we were embarrassing.
Shouldn’t be our main striker tbf
@@lovejoy3347 traitor
The jocks behave like they’re Andorra. They have Robertson, champions league winner, McTominey, one of United’s better players, McGinn, captain of a side who’ve just qualified for the champions league. On paper, they should be beating Hungary and Switzerland wasn’t the amazing result they say it was.
Who are "the Jocks"? and the "they" you speak of. I'm Scottish and dont walk about talking & portraying the Scottish team as Andorra. We should have performed much better, and we didn't. Why was that the case? Who knows. Belief, confidence, attitude, tactics, missing players. We aren't great by any standard of the imagination. However, we put in some good performances during qualifying that got us out of the group with 16 points and a win against Spain. I don't really know why we couldn't carry that form and confidence forward after we qualified.
I agree but we need a courageous manager just as England do.
By the way, why continue with the disparaging name?
You wouldn't call any other nationality by a disparaging name.
I don't know any Scots who use a disparaging name for the English.
I'm sure you're better than that.
youre as strng as your weakest links, not as strong as he stongest and scotland have about 3 haf decent playeers, and thats it. they were favs to finish bottom
@@leenieledejo6849 what you on about jock?
Yeah, they looked lost out there
Realistically, can Scotland, Wales, The Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland compete for a Euro or WC, by compete I mean win!
clark should be englands coach
For me, Steve Clarke has done well getting qualifications. The issue is he seems to have no tactical plan for when Scotland get there and we leave a prolific goal scorer on the bench while struggling for goals. Shankland has also played in Belgium and scored against Brugge and other top clubs there. That is whats criminal. So should he go depends on whether you think the ambition is get there or try to make an impact. For me, we had the opportunity to do well here and he left good players out and played a poor formation so he let his own arrogance cost Scotland. Plus, there is no improvement on the first Euros. He needs to go in my opinion.
The Scott are getting like the english for moaning.
No Scottish refs,because they are amateurs.
So Argentina filled in.
S.F.A are clueless,and a disgrace.
Clarke could and should have passed on everyones best wishes and support on behalf of Scotland to that badly injured player, before going on his monotoned boring rant. As for those tactics, yes Scotland are limited but that performance was beyond dreich. 1 shot on goal from a defender on 97 min, we are better than that and his ultra negative tactics cost us. Played with concrete boots on for the entire Euros.
Population is always used as an excuse, but Denmark, Uruguay, Switzerland, Croatia, all have small populations and regularly do well in tournaments. If population were relevant than Russia would be a great team
Belgium has more than DOUBLE the population of Scotland.
Hungary likewise and they have done nothing for decades.
Croatia, Denmark and Uruguay are the only countries worth comparing to.
Croatia have won nothing and would not have got to a final without Modric.
I admire their team spirit but their golden era was on the back of a wave of enthusiasm after gaining independence and more recently, Modric has raised the standard and we'll see what transpires once he's gone.
Denmark have won nothing except the Euros when the momentum of unexpected excitement (and a real "nothing to lose" feel that's worth its weight in gold) took them to the final of a championship THEY FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR.
Kudos for winning but come on, they weren't even there on merit.
As for Uruguay, do two World Cups in 1930 and 1950 count considering one was at home and the other in Brazil (considering what it took for European teams to even get there back then, never mind acclimatize)?
The Copa America: well, ok, but it's hardly the Euros in terms of top teams and competition, is it?
Also, Scotland has regular success in the Olympics in several sports including athletics, cycling, sailing and swimming.
We've managed golds in the Winter Olympics too.
We have a tennis multi Grand Slam and Olympic champion.
We have a strong rugby team that has been successful.
We have had golf champions.
NONE of the countries you mention come remotely close in terms of such a *VARIETY* of other sports.
It would surprise people (although it's true) to learn that a sizeable proportion of the Scottish population isn't interested in football and huge swathes of the middle classes (who send their kids to private schools where rugby, athletics and cricket are by far the main sports) don't encourage their kids to play it.
Bottom line: it's not a coincidence that the countries who usually win the WC and Euros (i.e Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Italy, France) have HUGE populations and some even have at least one CITY (Brazil has two) with a bigger population than Scotland...
I expected this discussion to piss me off far more than it did. Lots of valid points made by various members of the panel.
Clarke would be a good manager for Ayr United.
No Scotland big party
England, big fights 😂
Tbh as someone who lives in Scotland and supports the team. When i heard him go "meh yeah opening game with germany in euros whatever man we dont care" attitude annoyed me. He matches the energy of a stickman among all the scotland energy. and its a shame. shame for all the lads that went and all the fans. He honestly didnt seem up for it.
As a Scot, (and I was in Germany for the games) I don't often agree with Simon Jordan, but here he is spot on. Scotland were awful from start t finish, our big players never turned up. Our tactics were poor and the Hungary game was nothing short of abysmal.
wish folk would stop blaming the ref ffs thats no excuse its the players to blame its the manager to blame for the picking of the bunch and his dodgy tactics
The majority of Scotland aren't blaming the ref, we're blaming the dud Steve Clarke 😡😡😡😡🏴
They should've had a penalty (although it's possible that the guy that was fouled was offside if you watch the footage back, it was very close) but they didn't deserve to go through. A game they had to win, and their first shot at goal was after 53 minutes. They didn't really have a go until the last 15 minutes, by which time, Hungary were beginning to take control. I saw it said after they drew the second game that they'd 'done half the job' because they probably only needed 4 points to get through, which is a ludicrous fact that I think encourages this type of negative safety first approach.
For Steve Clarke to base the elimination of their team on a penalty decision, C’mon. Classic deflection tactic from the real issue which is they were not brave enough in front of goal
You can lose 5-1 to the hosts but to not give it a go in that game, yes Switzerland was solid but then to not give everything to put Hungary under pressure was inexcusable
Jim it wasn't a penalty and for the Argentinian Ref, grow up.
Guy talking about the good players for Scotland of the past, is right. Back then all clubs could only play 3 foreigners. It gave scottish players the chance to play constantly and get better. Its a business now since we abolished that 3 foreigners rule and clubs just look abroad for players. Massive knock on effect for a small country like Scotland. Soon as that rule came in, was when we stopped qualifying for competitions
Scotland were pish!!.....end of. from a scot.
Same auld story mate we get through to the tournament finals and then we start telling everybody how good we are ,aye Germany are in for a shock when they play us, the only shock about the Germans was they didn't hit double figures
scotland dilidallied aw night from defence to midfield then back again it was like chase me chase me game 😂😂😂😂😂
Complaining about the nationality of the ref is hilarious
Why do they attack the referee just because he is from Argentina?!
Elite Jordanite = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts
With Macgregor going back the way on nearly every pass and McGinn nowhere to be seen for 3 games what do we expect.
Every single time he had the chance to attack, he turned and played a nothing ball.
Never a penalty. That striker is thrash
England should take solace in the fact that they have the nation of Scotland fully behind them on their quest for their first Euro's. Although sad they are gone home, Scotland still have a solid interest in this competition in supporting England.
Ffs your having a laugh arnt you I hope they get spanked
Mix up the squad with some mixed race or black players. Most teams performing and doing well in world stages are doing this even England simples
Uruguay is smaller in population than Scotland and they've won the world cup, twice!
Aye before the war....😂😂😂

Switch the lights off on yer way out - shambolic Scotland, think Dumbarton fc are looking for a football manager , you deserve every bit of criticism
Robertson belong in the top tier. He changed the atmosphere, creates chances and drives them forward.
Everyone just glossing over the fact scotland lost 5 key players before a ball had been kicked😂
And another star defender at the tournament?
Give it a rest.
We're good atm but not so good we can compete at major tournaments with FIVE key players out injured ffs.
That was a scotland B squad at euro 2024. Facts.
They didn’t have the quality to even get up the park & the goal against the Swiss was going softly into the keepers body until the defender made a mess of it
bad team selection , bad tactics and a poor manager that still thinks he's managing Kilmarnock. Time to go Steve .
Couldn’t even get out of their group…
It was a penalty and I don’t know for the life of me why there wasn’t a VAR check but even if we had scored it we didn’t really deserve to go through as we didn’t do much in any of the three games to warrant it.
Get David Moyes in
Same poorly skilled players. Wont change much.
Change manager changes little
A manager with a positive attacking attitude will help, lose tierney and still play 5 at the back for a must win game with a centre forward with how many national goals on his record? What’s the point in qualifying if you turn up to games and set up that negatively
Too boring and ginger.
It was NOT a penalty...
'They were 1 game away' - pretty much every nation is 1 game away since you could just need 3 points to get through
You’d think Jordan took Palace to a Champions League final the way he bangs on. So why didn’t you Simon? 😂 Jog on pal.
I feel for the fans and I feel for the players who did not have a team to attack with and go for the game. The manager had the wrong team selection, needed 2 up front, and gave the wrong tactics at every stage of the game apart from the last 10 minutes. Clarke has chosen the obvious players in form at their clubs but then not selected a direct, pressing, attacking team. We were never going to win the tournament but we could have had a gung ho try to get to the knockouts . Clarke should walk.
Totally agree with simon about our national side and domestic game we dont have Dalglish,souness, hansen, to name a few and current players none of them can lace there boots our domestic leagues are so far behind european and english leagues our boys couldnt handle the occasion sadly.
The examples Jim White was looking for are Greece and, most recently, Iceland! Both nations didn't have the quality, but they had an incredible mentality.
I feel steve Clarke should resign
Fire the coward
@@somerledislay9987 ì think he needs to feel the consequences
@@kylelacey8036 He`s simply a Coward who`s terrified of losing the biggest wages of his career
No Jim White , they set a low standard and were below it as usual
Simon Jordan is 100% Correct here.
Me ; .... A better manager WOULD HAVE MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE with the players we have even.
Scotland didnt deserve to go through. To scared to attack. Every other team went forward better. I started the game wanting Scotland to win, during the game, I wanted them to lose and piss off from the comp. They made football look like a boring shite game. Now, WHO caused this? The coach or the players? If Bielsa had the team would they have attacked with venom???????
Now Scotland now know what it feels like to be done over by an Argentinian
Really poor investment in Scottish local sports have turned us into a nation of snob only participation 40s 50s 60s 70s best sporting eras no one had 2 bob now your local ned has no inclusion hence no bottle or back bone for all to see too many prima donnas and not enough rough well done SFA for turning your back on generations of housing scheme boys
What did they expect lol
Simon gets very close to saying where the issue lies - the SFA. Clarke's comment about going back with the team to discuss how to score more goals or something to that effect. Seems like a conversation they shoud've had more often, preferably before the tournament.
Clarke will stay and likely offered a new deal by the SFA, but he should face the consequences by going.
I’m a Scotland supporter and hate Simon but for once I completely agree with him about our manager & players! If Steve Clarke is given the opportunity to the next World Cup then you are asking for more heart ache!! Our progression is bigger than liking Steve Clarke or not! It was a embarrassing campaign and he has to answer for this disaster campaign
Clarke is the most negative manager in the Euros and Scotland were the worst team. Even the Georgia's & Albanias were more positive and had more belief in themselves. Clarke is such a low level manager and embarrassment
Denmark is a small nation and regularly qualifies, Belgium isn't that large. Portugal only has 10m people but then has the best squad in the tournament. What about Croatia? Sweden isn't that big demographically. Jim is right, being a small country isn't it.
How many times has this happened over the decades, its the same old story lose a game win or draw the next and when a chance is presented to progress they have ALWAYS failed so I dont understand what the big deal is and as for the ref not giving a penalty he would do well in Scotland
Leaving shankland out cost us a place in next round all because shankland loves the gers ,Scotland have played without a striker Adams isn't a striker , Clarke is a bigot
Love Stuart Pearce,s punditry
Can the small nation argument be used, if players are picked that aren’t born or produced in those countries?
Have to agree with Jordan as much as I don’t like the guy. We have a far better team than what showed up at the tournament. The proof is there because we topped a qualifying group with Spain in it.
The group we were in for the tournament was actually easier expect Germany
All I can say is that we have a guy who took the coaching job,and has a limited talent in tactics,and was guilty of unnecessary favoritism.And May I just add he didn’t have guile to put on Conway earlier
Hes spot on
Who was the genius who gave Steve Clarke a new FIVE year contract.
It beggars believe when you ser the tactical nievity of the man as a football coach. What is even worse is the man's demeanour in public. He has brought further shame on Scotland with his comments about the Argentinian Referee!
Should have fired him in March and got in Derek McInnes. We'd have got out the group. The players are too cosy with Clark. Change is needed.
Denmark has a smaller population than Scotland and yet last Euro's they got to the semi's and look likely to get out of their group this time. I heard Moyes last night talking about the weather in Scotland not helping to produce players !!! .This small country guff just dosen't wash anymore.
Jim White should stop talking he sounds ridiculous.
the only man to blame for this is steve clarke with his negative set up, his player selection,. his substitution selection and also the subs being made far to late.
steve clarke must resign he is not the man to help scotland progress....
simon is completely correct regarding the players also but the squad is good enough that it should be putting up more of a convincing argument in games,
If we had got the penalty, we would have passed it backwards
They didn't deserve to go through, buuut, how was that not a penalty?
As cast-iron penalty if ever there was one.
theyre not really a better side than they showed, i had them alongside albania and goeigia. last night i had their keeper in my fantasy euros team and he only got 6 points cos not a single save lol
If you set up a team not to lose you are going to lose - at least have a go .
If i was shankland id be radging gave up his new contract or move till after the euros all for 16 mins of football
Andy Robertson is not outstanding??? How on earth
He's not
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 He was maybe a few years ago. He was bang average this tournament
@faddy24 yeah but Scottish people talk like he's a prime Roberto Carlos. He's a solid Premier League player, which is very good, but if he's about the best Scotland have to offer then they can expect this is about as good as they're gonna be.
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 well most Scots never thought he was quite that good. He looked cream crackered when he was subbed late on. We might not have any genuine world class players but there is still a good enough level of player in our squad do a bit better than this. Steve Clarke's tactics, substitutions and a complete lack of a plan B had a lot to do with our latest failure
@faddy24 I think Scotland could've put on a better showing. I don't think their finishing position is any great shame or surprise. I think Scotland and Hungary are of similar level, so I didn't expect either to finish above the other two sides and they would be fighting for a 3rd spot. I don't think people should be too annoyed they went out, really they're only good enough to make up the numbers in early stages of tournaments. But I think people can be disappointed the way they went out, I didn't think they wanted it as much as Hungary as the clock was ticking down.
Clarkes picks and subs were dreadful
That's 12 games now without a win. Zombie Clark must go.
Clarke has to go. Shankland . Top scorer in spl. 25 mins. Morgan. 9 in 14 games with 4 assists in MLS. Forrest . 10 in last 10 games with celtic. Dynamic from the bench. No minutes. Team bereft of confidence. 1 win in a dozen games since beating Spain . Against Gibraltar . Players passing sideways and back the way rather than take a man on or shoot at goal. Clarkes shown that he's taken us as far as he can. Time for someone else to have a go
I used to admire Simon but saying we got pumped fair enough that penalty would have got us through no good enough but all Simon wants to do is wind people up
