| 3. Author: da_no_1 Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 00:39 Issues with the media apparently. Get big Ange "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |

| 5. Author: DrumRoad Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 00:51 Makes ANOTHER sad ending to a WC campaign even sadder I will take a while to get over our painful drawn out exit Let’s hope the Pars cheer me up with a great start to our Premier League push this coming season I feel stranded in Miami & cannae wait to get home 😢🙁 Where on earth will Scotland look to now to lift the team (& hopefully make a raft of positive player changes?) a proper team reset of both players & mindset is needed………pffft 2022/23 League one Winners Reply |

| 7. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 00:57 Thanks and good luck to Steve Clarke. Two Euro campaigns and two world cup campaigns is quite enough for any national manager regardless is success. Ange would be a great appointment but will never happen. Don`t think he`d want it not could we afford the multi millions he`d command. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 8. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 00:58 He`s taken the fall, but I don`t think his tactics or team selections are why we have failed again, this is all on the players who just did not perform.  Reply |
| 9. Author: BlackLight Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 01:05 He`s an honest guy and he knows what went wrong. He had a new contract and he could have stuck with it, but he chose to go (probably). It`s time for a new manager to build a new squad. SC got us to the championships, but he couldn`t get us any further. Can anyone else do any better? Reply |
| 10. Author: thebear Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 01:08 Certain players did not perform at all, others struggled because of no support. Scottish football suffers because of the OF THE SFA AND SPFL. Sorry Steve you tried hard with Limited resources, but it was right to go Reply |
| 11. Author: doctordandruff Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 01:23 And what of the clowns at the SFA who gave him the contract before the finals, who are happy with Gemmil at u21 despite 10 years of failure, and bend the domestic game to suit 1 club in particular. No doubt nothing.. Reply |
| 12. Author: nick_dafc1 Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 01:39 The One Who Knocks, Sun 28 Jun 00:57 Could you really see Ange Ball being a success with our squad? Not really that good with teams who arent top level Reply |
| 13. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 01:44 He always wins a trophy in his second year though so we`d be winning the euros. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 14. Author: SusieQ Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 01:48 Ooft never saw that coming on the back of his new contract. Wasn`t in the Clarke out brigade as I said on the other thread but can`t say I`m disappointed. Be interesting to see who comes in now to lift everyone again. COME ON YE PARS! Reply |
| 15. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 01:49 Thanks for getting us to 2 major tournaments in a row, it`s been a blast (until the actual main event). Got to give the guy credit for quitting as I think that means that he won`t get a pay off??? I don`t think the SFA would have sacked him, not because they`d have to fork out a small fortune but because their is no obvious replacement that will automatically make us better. The Scotland job is a bit of a poisoned chalice so I can`t see us getting anybody that will excite the fans. In all honesty, I doubt even Guardiola or Klopp would make us any better. We simply don`t have much in the way of quality players. I`d see if Harry Redknapp wants to come out of retirement. If Pochettino was available I`d fancy shovelling cash his way but I couldn`t see him wanting the gig. It`ll be a recently out of work SPL manager. No way Moyes will quit the EPL for the national team. Graham Potter if he gets the sack, no thank you. Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan. Not a fan of much else. Reply |
| 16. Author: DunPar Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 03:27 I don’t think the criticism of Steve Clarke (from elsewhere, not in the posts here so far) are merited. Alex Ferguson couldn’t get us past the first round with Sounness, Strachan, Archibald, Narey, Miller, Cooper etc. what chance did Clarke have with our current crop ? But our players let themselves and our country down. They certainly didn’t give the best account of themselves - even without being world class. Reply |
| 17. Author: OzPar Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 06:34 I can`t see Ange being interested, to be honest. He`s managed an international side already—Australia. He transformed a moderate group of players into a technically strong, attack-oriented side that won the Asian Cup and emerged from a very tough qualifying group to reach the World Cup finals in Russia. On the plus side, he knows Scotland well, is generally liked in the country, and it would be a hell of a coup for the SFA if they did manage to bring him in. He would certainly put an end to the Largs Mafia and rebuild Scotland in a very different manner. Reply |
| 18. Author: ipswichpar Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 07:03 Excellent. I expect us to find our level with being unable to attract anybody of note. A poorer manager and a poor set of players is just what we need. Reply |
| 19. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 07:22 I thank him for the memories of getting to major tournaments - the draw with England in Euros, a week in Germany culminating in Switzerland game, that Denmark game will live forever in my mind. But you cant win 1 in 9 games at the tournaments and expect to keep on going. Not sure who will come in next - but do think after qualifying for 3 of the last 4 major tourns we are no longer the “poisoned chalice” people think we are. Reply |
| 20. Author: rikaka Date: Sun 28th Jun 2026. 07:33 This just feels like 98. Brown hounded out after being successful in getting us to tournaments, hopefully we don`t spend decades in the doldrums again. Reply |
