Whether you agree with Ewen or not on other things football realted, hes absolutely right here. It goes beyond which club you support.
We all bemoan the quality of our League setup, refs, sponsorships,TV deal, national side etc.
This is the only way it changes 👇
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.

@Stop21Non@AlgoFoundation@Algorand Unfortunately, she lost the community when she started blocking everyone who said anything against her. Sad to see for such a great blockchain.
@mindofprospect@hewantswealth To be honest, he is an idiot twice over. 😀😀
1- For not understanding what is being taxed
2- Telling the world what is in his investments.
John McGinn makes a subtle dig at Steve Clarke’s tactics.
🗣️ "We have to attack Brazil. The second half (v Morocco) showed that when we get after teams, no one likes being under that pressure."
Why was there criticism of the performance v Morocco?
This was Hungary, at the Euros, all over again.
The only difference?
The goal v Hungary was scored in the last minute and not the first minute.
Clarke promised us that he’d not make the same mistakes as Euro 2024 and that we’d be different.
Nothing has changed.
The set up is so defensive and pragmatic that it is becoming laughable especially when we can all see our squad is better than that.
Any other country with the talent of Curtis and Doak at their disposal would play them.
Not Clarke.
He reverts back to type every single time and what is that I hear you ask?
A Kilmarnock manager on a plastic pitch.

@HistoryWJacob 🤣🤣agree with the feigning injury bit, they are woosies. But sayingl Americans like toughness and grit is taking it a bit far.. they are a bunch of wimps with all the padding and helmets compared to rugby player...

We're starting to see the same spot and perp volume imbalance we saw in the run up to $83K.
We all know how that move ended. A 30% correction back to the lows.
At this stage, spot volume is essentially hitting cycle lows while perp volume carries the rally.
So there's no question that most of this move has been driven by leverage buying, as opposed to an imbalance in spot accumulation.
If we don't see spot volume play catch up, there's very little doubt in my mind we'll eventually see a similar outcome.
