@shillcock_paul Symptomatic of the modern game. Where are the flair players? Some pieces of outrageous skill to leave you in awe. Just dull workmanlike clones. Real shame.
Good evening Ian (SFA Chief Exec),
Here’s a reminder of what you 🫵🏼 said after handing Steve Clarke a FOUR year deal just before the World Cup.
🗣️ “We’re not going to make a decision on the manager based on how the World Cup does or doesn’t go”
Every man, woman and child questioned that decision especially with how bad Clarke’s track record was at previous tournaments.
Yet you have the cheek, and the audacity, to criticise (blame) the ‘hysterical reaction back home’.
🤔 Did you not see Clarke’s behaviour in post match interviews with Connie McLaughlin and Eilidh Barbour?
🤔 Did you not see what Clarke said to the Tartan Army and how the TA should be thanking him for spending thousands of pounds supporting their country?
🤔 Did you not see us defend for 60 minutes v Haiti?
🤔 Did you not see his favourites bring their club form to the World Cup while inform players were left at home?
🤔 Did you not see us not have one shot on target v Morocco?
I could go on but I’ll stop there.
Ian, passing the buck isn’t a good look. It really isn’t. You should be looking closer to home to point the finger and that starts with you and the boy from Alloa.
Talking of the boy from Alloa here’s a wee reminder of the what the SFA President, Mike Mulraney, said on giving Clarke a new FOUR year deal.
🗣️ “I know I am right on the days it goes wrong and I believe I am still right as I sit here today. It might sound arrogant, but I don’t need vindication. The only person I have to convince that I am doing it right is me.”
The arrogance is astounding.
Scotland deserves better. It’s our national game but it’s being run by amateurs.
It’s time for change.
