| 81. Author: onandupthepars Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:16 Overall I think we did pretty well - we have our limitations - we`re ranked 40 or so for a reason, so I think we gave the Number 5 in the world team quite a hard second half. I don`t get the criticism of Clarke, Gannon-Doak, or Dykes. They all gave it plenty. Unfortunately Adams got starved, and we were careless with possession too often, which had them running at us too often. We`re not really a flair team - we`re gutsy. Morocco are top notch. We did OK. And we`re still in with a chance of qualifying even with only 3 points - by virtue of keeping Morocco to one goal. Reply |
| 82. Author: thebear Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:17 We seemed to get muscled off the ball a lot, and other teams seem very capable of making it look like fouls. Its like kids against men Reply |

| 85. Author: twin par Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:23 That’s the problem,we are not top notch.We think we are, but we let ourselves down with basic,passing and positional awareness.Get caught so many times out of position,always seem to be back tracking. Reply |
| 86. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:26 We`re less than the sum of our parts. That`s down to the manager. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 87. Author: KirklistonPar Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:27 Honestly that was a tough game against a team that are so much better than us in every way. We done good to get to half time only one nil down. Especially after letting in a goal so early. I would like to see us approach games with a more positive attitude. We were so much better playing a 4-4-2 and a dont believe playing for a draw or trying to hang on is a style of play that suits us. We just don’t seem to get our good club players playing at their best in an international setup. Least we’re in a spot where we hopefully go balls to the wall against Brazil and we can make them look like Cowdenbeath.🤣 there’s always hope 🤞🏻 Reply |
| 88. Author: WYPar Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:28 The One Who Knocks, Sat 20 Jun 01:26 This is it. We’ve got a squad brimming with experience in the English Premier League and a fair bit in Serie A and yet we play like a hastily thrown together Sunday league team. Reply |

| 91. Author: Kdy Par Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:36 DJAS, Sat 20 Jun 01:31 We clearly have as Morocco are higher ranked and better than Germany. Looked what happened there. 2nd half was decent. Reply |
| 92. Author: Harroboy Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:37 Not a great performance, but would we not all have taken 3 points and zero goal difference after 2 games. We aren`t that great and know our limitations. A similar result against Brazil and we might make it through. Das ist Numberwang Reply |
| 93. Author: buffy Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:42 Morocco only scored the one goal and that was before 90 seconds on the clock. I think we did well enough to keep them at bay and the last 15 mins of the second half was so much better from us. Not sure what folk were expecting with the stance of Morocco but I’m certainly proud of us getting to this stage and looking forward to the Brazil match. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J.

| 94. Author: DBA Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:43 A narrow defeat against the 5th best team in the world, but look at everyone with their anti-agendas (pick from Clarke/Hanley/Dykes/Ralston etc etc). The fact that there`s an expectation that we could (and should) have done more says a lot about this team and the manager. Reply |
| 95. Author: WYPar Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:44 Kdy Par, Sat 20 Jun 01:36 I think decent is a stretch. It was better than the first half at least, and we had more of the ball certainly, but largely because Morocco were pretty happy to let us, safe in the knowledge we weren’t really going to threaten. And we didn’t. Reply |
| 96. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:45 The pundits on Radio Scotland are a lot more positive about the performance and result than the consensus seems to be on here. Whenever we lose a game folk come on here blaming their favourite scapegoat, blaming Steve Clarke despite the fact that his tactics and selections have got us to three tournament finals and questioning why some players were ever in the squad in the first place. Not so long ago we were hoping we could avoid big defeats in our second and third games as goal difference could be crucial. Now it`s a disaster we lost by a goal to a team almost 40 places above us in the FIFA rankings. Reply |
| 97. Author: desparado Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:50 Before WC started Brazil were 6th and Morocco 7th in Rankings now Morocco are 5th and Brazil 8th 🤷🏼♂️ What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 98. Author: WYPar Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:52 wee eck, Sat 20 Jun 01:45 I’ll give Steve Clarke credit for getting us to three tournaments, but we’ve hardly done ourselves justice when we’ve gone to any of them. Criticism for that is just as fair as praising him for getting us there. Reply |
| 99. Author: twin par Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:56 It seems we get in a wee team mind set,and have a mental block on the field.We think we are inferior,but that is not necessarily true,but we can’t see beyond it . We don’t believe in ourselves. Reply |
| 100. Author: DBA Date: Sat 20th Jun 2026. 01:57 WYPar, Sat 20 Jun 01:52 Do you honestly think 3 points from our first 2 games here isn`t doing ourselves justice? What did you expect? Reply |
