Really mixed feelings on this, our three appearances at tournaments under Clarke have been diabolical, but before he took charge I genuinely didn't think I'd ever see us at another tourney, under him I felt like we could qualify for all of them, he'll be a very hard act to follow
Best for all parties I'd suggest. No denying he's done a great job getting us back on the big stages but we keep repeating the same mistakes. 1 win in 3 major tournaments and that was Haiti.
Scotland Men’s Head Coach Steve Clarke has stepped down from his role.
Our most successful National Team Head Coach has called time on his seven years in charge following our participation at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
@cooper42370 No absolutely not but just hoping things somehow happen. South Africa winning last night a sore one, that was 1 of the 4 scenarios I pinned hope on
Went to bed praying/expecting that Czechia and South Africa wouldn't win to kick start the glimmer of hope 😒
It's done. An absolute shitshow of a tournament yet again.
Well, Scotland have lost, and so we're needing four out of the remaining ten groups to hit the stated results.
Next up is Group A at 2am.
We need Mexico AND South Korea to avoid defeat.
It also works if Mexico avoid defeat and South Africa beat South Korea by 4+ ....
@cooper42370 Chances are as well we sell Maeda, Hatate, Engels and Nygren. What's that, circa £50-60 million. We've lost players already not even discussing the loan (lol) players who have gone back.
Should be kicking on from a season we fucked about in, nope. Try do it again.
Pre season not even started yet and we need statements on the coaching staff given how fucking ridiculous the board are.
Gonna be a fucking riot of a summer
I posted this piece earlier today on Patreon: my impression of Martin O’Neill’s situation in Glasgow.
I now expect Celtic to issue a statement tomorrow, hopefully clarifying the positions of their coaching staff.

@cooper42370 It's peak Celtic board. Biggest tap in going is getting these 3 tied up. Fumbled that. Trying to get Sarrachi on loan when it's 2 million quid permanent for a player who had an impact.
I have zero expectation for this window
Can’t tie Saracchi down for £1.5m without trying to fleece another loan,(we got £1.5m for Inamura btw)
Can’t tie 2 coaches down who stepped into the trenches twice and helped us win a double.
Can’t communicate the most basic things with the support.
This nonsense has to end.
