How do the Aussies look so quick and threatening going forward when we don’t? Are we saying that Jackson Irvines a better player than John McGinn?

Based on their performances at this World Cup? Yes. McGinn had a stinker of a tournament, can`t blame Steve Clarke for players not putting in a good performance once they go on the park

Folk in here saying we should be playing like teams that didn’t qualify. We won our group but you’d rather we didn’t qualify…

I just don’t get that thinking at all.

He can be blamed if his tactics are to play a certain way that brings on errors and pressure.

Australia never had to play teams higher ranked than Morocco and Brazil and when they did play a top 10 team in USA (10th). They lost 2-0.

``I just hope we get rid of his prehistoric brand of fitba as well . Even tho they didn`t make it to the finals``



Absolute nonsense Parsweep.

It`s about making it to the finals. It`s like saying you don`t want Pars to get promoted if they are not going to play attacking football.

Because they have the players to do it and we don`t. McGinn was mince at both Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup.

Bobby Williamson, the 64-year-old who has had spells as head coach of Kenya and Uganda, has put himself forward to lead a Scotland coaching dream team that would include Ally McCoist, Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson. (Scottish Sun, external)

I heard him on the radio this morning and had to check it wasn`t April 1.

What does Kevin Thomson do for a living now? He only managed in 1 season and that was Kelty 5 years ago !

Did he really make a lot as a player? Let`s hope so.

Seems to just list guys that have failed at every job so badly they are now unemployable except as pundits, or not worked in years.

I think Kevin Thomson has his own coaching academy.

Bobby Williamson`s main claim to fame was his quote when manager of Hibs - `If the fans want entertainment they should go to the cinema`!

He appears regularly on a few podcasts. Nobody over the age of 16 should be calling football "footy." That rule definitely applies to the Scotland manager.

NL said we need a Scot. He said he is only half Scottish. I hope he stays on this season and builds the team tgat gets us into the Premiership. Arguably more satisfying as I dont see much success with Scotland TBH.

Going by my select bunch of friends, Lenny divides opinion to put it mildly.

Imagine it would be a million times worse if he was given the Scotland job.

Aye, he said he didn`t think SC was treated fairly by the media so I doubt he`d fancy taking over.

I think he says it how it is, and thats probably taken different ways. Its not what everyone wants to hear, but at the end of the day, honesty and transparency have improved a number of players career opportunities who want to progress. At least you know where you stand.

Never heard of him but a quick check shows that he has only been manager at top level for two seasons……..Hardly experienced at club level never mind international level. Big gamble if true.

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.
