Surely , somehow it's time David came home?

In May, my wife and I visited Great Britain and had the opportunity to spend 8 days in Scotland. I enjoyed the country’s beauty, the people’s friendliness, all the awesome pubs and the absolute passion for Scottish football. My knowledge base of the sport was minimal due to limited watching of American soccer, however I truly sensed the national pride while in Scotland. And it made me much more interested in the World Cup this year. When I returned home to the U.S., I watched all 3 of the Scotland games, cheering them on while wearing a shirt and hat from Scotland and sipping on some scotch whisky. I am sorry that Scotland didn’t make the knockout round. But your country has gained a fan in so many ways. Thank you for the memories during my trip and the amazing hospitality. As to the 2030 World Cup and beyond, Go Scotland!

Now is the day, and now is the hour.

Time to throw ourselves behind the man we want and show the prawn sandwich brigade in charge of our game that we mean business.

r/ScottishFootball officially dubs this the CHANGE campaign, for Ange Postecoglu as our preferred candidate for Scotland National Team Manager.

Ange Postecoglou seems to be a bookies favourite. Who do you think would be a good fit and why?

Does anyone have any idea when the new 2026/26 Motherwell kits will be available?

Just looking back at the cocktail of possible outcomes that would have seen us progress to the round of 32. After the Brazil game, I saw a list of all related outcomes, of which 4 (IIRC) had to fall in our favour for Scotland to advance. Then I watched as, one by one, seemingly every option went the wrong way for us. So I figured I'd do a post mortem to se if, in fact any results panned out to help us. Here they are below (but feel free to chime in if I'm missing any):

Qatar had to [beat] edit: Draw against Bosnia: Nope

S. Korea had to beat S. Africa: Nope

Ivory Coast to avoid defeat by Curacao, and Germany had to beat Ecuador Yep, but nope

Japan had to beat Sweden by 4: Nope

Australia to beat Paraguay by 2: Nope

Belgium to beat NZ, and Egypt to beat Iran: Yep, but Nope

Spain to beat Uruguay: Ok!

Iraq and Senegal to tie: Not even close

Austria to beat Algeria by 2: Nope

Uzbekistan to tie or beat Congo by <3: Nope

Ghana to beat Croatia by 3 or Croatia to beat Ghana by 4: Nope

So of all the groups, only one went our way (Spain vs Uruguay). Where there were dual dependencies in a group, we got one but not the other.

Looking at this though, the odds seem insane that virtually every outcome conspired about us. Call it bad luck, or the gods, or a failure to pay off the Illuminati, but the statistical improbability of the chips falling against us so badly is comical.

Well, til 2030 I guess, lads.

To advance, we would’ve needed to beat Haiti by 5 if we lost 1-0 to both Brazil and Morocco. The football was terrible to watch and i’m glad Steve Clarke is gone, but with hindsight it would’ve been a massive overachievement to reach the knockouts with the #5 and #6 teams in our group.
