@scott72__ @cjb1990_ Spot on. The only one showing any quality scored a great goal. That’s the difference it can make, and what we’ve consistently lacked.

@cjb1990_ Aasgaard is quickly becoming our most important player.

@josemorgado Trademark Michael Owen 2006.

@ShaughanM @Mrcento I’ll never forget Bale literally walking past him before pinging one in the top corner.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@RuriBarlow If anything, the opposite is true. Domestic players are ignored because someone has scored a few goals in the English Championship.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@HazelStewart09 Let’s not forget we qualified for the 1st tournament after two Nations League penalty shootouts. That brought the initial feel good factor and confidence.

The timing of Clarke’s new deal was ridiculous.

We were far from outstanding against Denmark for the majority of the game.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@marknelsoncomic It’s utter nonsense though. ‘Mentality’ appears to be the buzzword answer to everyone’s problems. Just because the fans are having a good time, doesn’t mean everyone accepts the situation we’re in. How about we look at developing technical players and giving youth a chance?

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@MiguelDelaney Scotland weren't even that great in that game, aside from the last 20 minutes or so when Denmark were down to 10. The final score flattered us.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@Millar_Colin We weren't great in qualifying for this one either - relying on moments as you say. We're really not a great team, it's disingenious to compare to previous unsuccessful ones, but there are some talented players and it'd be interesting to see them under a progressive coach. (2/2)

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@Millar_Colin The truth is we qualified for the first one via 2 penalty shootout wins in the Nations League play-offs (Israel/Serbia). That gave us a bit of confidence, some good results followed, but ultimately qualified for the next two via simpler formats than before. (1/2)

@Amato861 Look at what Man Utd did for Casemiro today, who’s won a couple of cups in 4 years.

The situation with Tav was handled so badly.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@ibroxrocks Or it could be we keep getting it wrong with managers…

Just need to look at Celtic and Hearts to see what a big difference they make.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@TEnglishSport I still can’t understand why they had that as the last game. The sporting drama was great, but there was always potential for the scenes at the end. Could actually have been worse as well.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@KaiGWatson We played Motherwell and Hearts, two teams we’ve struggled against all season, then Celtic away with their tails up. Sure mentality is part of it, but ultimately not good enough.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@AMcKellar89 Part of me thinks he was saving Tav for Falkirk, as Sterling presumably won't be playing. Either way, it's madness and there has to be more to it than meets the eye.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@MMcEwanGolf I’m intrigued to see an alternative list of captains from the past decade…

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@KaiGWatson We have far too many giving off a casual, relaxed demeanour. Composure on the ball is one thing but it just sends the wrong message.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@mstewart_23 The political commentators know fine well why the SNP ‘defy political cycles’ and it’s because cult-like voting based on the constitutional question clearly does not fall under standard cycle rules.
The fact remains, the dial hasn’t shifted.

[JD Main @jamesdmain]

@ibroxrocks What if one of those lost was against the team who’d beaten you twice, and the other by the team who played you off the park a few weeks back?

We’ve been papering cracks since Rohl came in.
