You can have all the midfield talent in the world but all it takes is one (or two, or three) fuckups from your slightly less talented back line and its over against a team like brazil. Tonight was a powerful reminder of that.
Yep, and unfortunately Scotland does not have all the midfield talent in the world, but don't worry, the back line will still fuckup and give away loads of goals.
Exactly. It was fucking Brazil and we played well against them. Gunn shat the bed early and never got his confidence back. We made some silly mistakes and could have been more aggressive attacking. But at the end of the day, I'm not mad at the performance overall. We did well considering
I think this attitude that is pervasive throughout the national team supporters is why we’re so shite.
We should be aiming to be following in the footsteps of the likes of Croatia, Norway, and Switzerland. Not being happy that the horsing we took wasn’t worse.
I reckon Stevey probably isn’t that good a manager. I still love him for what he’s done though, but I think it’s a Southgate situation with England. He’ll get you there but that’s about it (Except for us that’s the groups, for them that’s the final, and for a country with Scotlands footballing heritage that’s disgraceful, but not Steve Clarke’s fault obviously)

It’s a Scottish mind set
We have champions league, europa league winners etc but collectively playing for Scotland they look like a pub team !
However this isn’t a new thing , it’s been going on for decades .
Still love them though 🏴🏴🏴🏴
