@JohnSwinney@theSNP@thomsonrichardg If the Tories are the ones perceived as being willing to try and keep people in a job, then you know your policy is a shambles
@GeoffNorcott And instead of a manager, you get a middle aged man who’s been filming it all on an iPad telling you where you should ideally be putting it.
@Reaps11@Andymacafc1 I expect us to learn from previous mistakes and don’t play with panic and fear, otherwise both games will slip away from us early.
Think we can run both/either close if we approach them in the right manner. Especially if Brazil have already qualified by the last game.
@Reaps11@Andymacafc1 Morocco were stronger than most gave them credit for.
None of the ones I mentioned were shambolic in the way that 2024 and to a lesser extent 2021 were.
@Reaps11@Andymacafc1 From living memory I would suggest we did in 92, 96 and 98 - would say 07 when our qualifying group was mental we ultimately did ourselves justice.
Certainly haven’t done it under Clarke. Hungary game at the last Euros was sackable on its own.
@Reaps11@Andymacafc1 Should be beating Haiti which could be enough to get us through, and even if it’s a beatable team that we don’t beat in the last 32, then that’s another competition where we haven’t hit our level.
Understandable folk want to wait and see before deciding he deserved the new deal.
@Andymacafc1@Reaps11 For me his job is about maximising our potential and I don’t think he’s done that once yet, if you consider we screwed up the last couple of tournaments.
He gets a pass from many because of how bad we’ve been for decades.
@DonsTalk If we signed unknown foreigners again or reverted to English league jobbers then that wouldn’t go down well either.
Fanbase setting themselves up for a long, depressing summer unfortunately.
@AbzPodcast@JamieGuyan Given the money we’ve spunked away I’d hope that as a support we’re less bothered about spending hundreds of k on exotic sounding names anyway.
