I think Clarke did a good job of taking the most shambolic international setup I have seen in my lifetime and turning back into a team that could at least qualify for finals again. Even if the process wasn't pretty at times. However, both finals severely exposed his limitations as a manager. I was willing to cut him some slack after the first one, but the most recent performance at the Euros proved not only had he not learned anything, but had actually regressed. The game against Hungary summed it up perfectly - a must-win game with zero shots on target. I don't see any improvement while he his still in charge. Congrats to Wilson, though - well deserved based on his recent performances.

Happy for him, We are in good form and im pleased to see Jack Vale back too. Long may it continue ❤️💛

Agree 100%. And his recent interview was an insult to any fan who spent their hard earned cash going to Germany to support Clarke's Old Boys' Club. "I've earned the right to try to get the team to another Tournament". Really? He should have been punted as soon as the final whistle blew at the end of the Hungary embarrassment. We were a laughing stock. An honourable man would have walked. Well done Wilson. Deserves his chance and shocking that he was not included in the original squad. Then again, will Gemmill even know who he is?

Well deserved. Please extend his contract.

Ewan Wilson called up to the Scotland Under-21 squad.

I hate this post and anybody who agrees with it.

SK has spoken at length (as always) about defence being our biggest weakness last season. Although you hardly need a UEFA Coaching badge to have spotted that. Difficult to tell how much the injured defenders will add, but Liam Gordon has made a difference, and we definitely looked more organised. The biggest difference is that, so far, we have cut out most of the stupid mistakes. Promising signs, but very early days. We won 3 and drew 1 in our first four league games last season before we went into meltdown, so no chickens being counted yet.

The woman was a retired Fifa Grade referee. I didnt think she tried to justify decisions, more explain why they would be given in line with current IFAB rules. There was one decision in particular (cant remember which) that she explained why the decision had been given in line with the rules, but then said, "if you ask me my personal opinion, you would get a different answer". I think it was to do withba penalty handball incident. I thought it was actually quite refreahing ro get a referees insight as it explained a lot of stuff. I think IFAB are the problem. Not the referees.
