@RPMComo The game I fell in love with as a boy is now unrecognisable. And for Scotland to go down again without a fight would be tantamount to sporting treason.
When did taking part become a victory?
And that permeates to all levels.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Watching this World Cup feels different to the many I have seen before.
The game feels soft, sanitised and largely soulless on the field of play.
A game of quarters, sold out to the ad men by the charlatans.
The game I love is withering on the vine.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Sick and fed up watching players think every time they fall over its a foul.
Christie and McGinn spent the night diving at every contact in midfield losing possession time and time again.
Ref was poor but we were dreadful.
A narrow defeat is still a defeat.
Nothing glorious.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@RPMComo @ttmygh @LucaMitchell200 In addition to poor officiating I was struck by how players respond to minimal contact throwing themselves to the floor repeatedly expecting fouls.
Christie and McGinn failed to adapt to referee style and were robbed of the ball time and again because their instinct is to fall.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Refereeing terrible.
McGinn, McTominay, Christie and Hanley as bad.
Stonewall penalty denied.
Big players also failed to show up.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@StanCollymore I hear you Stan. Thought with most refs Scotland get at least one penalty tonight.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@Migano2000 Shankland injured?

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Why can't we have a Scottish studio team for such a massive game?

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@MattMcGlone9 Condolences Matt

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@RPMComo @ttmygh 100%. The ego that accompanies the modern Premier League and footballing status is almost bewildering in its lack of self awareness of minimal English contribution.

A marketing success built on imports with very little home operational talent.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@superted63 @EwenDCameron Not sure about Ferguson but agree re McGinn. A tough watch. Formation change needed for next game.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Scotland terrible. Selection worse.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Football is a troubling business. You, as a couch based coach, know that Ferguson, Shankland & Hickey are awful yet will be picked.
And you wonder when they prove you right what is the motivation for playing them?

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Choose Tattie Scones on a Tuesday...

Choose Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

All under control lads. Dividends ahoy.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

So for clarity.
We have no manager in place.
No coaching team in https://t.co/KfIVL6A2IO new signings in place.
Half a squad leaving
Incompetence in boardroom.
And zero comms with lifeblood of the club
That about the size of it @PaulJohnDykes?
Only world class at processing DD's

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

Not my Glasgow.

[Craig Houston @CraigHouston_]

Glasgow stands with all the UK

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

The widespread celebrating that Keane didn't get the job overshadows the farce that a one year contract is being sold as a win at a time when a huge rebuild required.
We should never have to settle for anything less than whats best for the club.

[John Hughes @yogijunior3]

By far the best option, given that the others were embarrassing in their inadequacy. The fact that the global recruitment search beyond Martin extended to two guys we knew is humiliating in its tin pottery! I worry about Martin’s health, but if he feels able then fair enough.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@PaulJohnDykes @ACSOMPOD Can you imagine this arrangement being so widely accepted had other contenders being place?

Negotiating 101: Always have something you're willing to lose easily.

Could be Gaslighting 101 too.

A one year commitment at a club in need of a rebuild. Not good enough.

[Tumble Drift @GerryH64]

@MattMcGlone9 The gaffer is on record as saying he doesn't do projects. Age fun aside. I'm choosing to be optimistic about the guarantees he's received around signings.
Let's do this. But not in the last minute of the last game please.
Awesome but heart attack stuff.
