Not sure why people are blaming the manager, Scotland is a nation similar to Spain where a couple of teams are best, but without the money.

Never going to win anything. Similar to the cricket team. People still thinking of the good old days, aka before Allies army.

Having said that it does seem we need a GB team for our home teams to carry some might. England have been crap since 1966 also considering the amount of money and talent in our domestic league.

We need a GB team to maximise our resources.
We had a gb team for the Olympics. No one wanted it. Football isn't about results it's much more than that.

However get that fking clown out of the Scotland job. That was grim. To think lars lagerback was free at the same time of big ecks appointment. He's managed to get Scotland out of Europe in ten minutes. Send him in for the brexit negotiations.

It really was painful to watch.

Why not, why is less of a talent pool to pick from better than a bigger talent pool?



Do you object to the GB Olympic team?
It’s about history... nothing to do with talent pool. I don’t know any Scotland fans who would want a GB team.
The GB football team was a one off for the London Olympics, and as I recall essentially a requirement of hosting the games, so the Scottish, Wales and NI associations acquiesced.

No interest in team GB no matter how bad Scotland are. History and tradition means a lot to many.

A manager who was past it ten years ago,and the worst pool of players in the history of the Scottish game, did anybody really expect anything else?

That the same Craig Gordon who couldn't collect a high punt into his six yard box against England?

Some perspective on the level of result the other day.

Russia are winning 4-0 in Kazakhstan.

There needs to be a big reaction tonight and anything short of a comfortable win is beyond thinking about.

Looking back at their history suggests they have not scored an international goal since scoring 1 and losing 5 to Azerbaijan in 2017. Since that game they are 1-39 over 13 games. Anything less than 3-0 to Scotland tonight is unacceptable.

I did see their manager was brand new. I was kind of hoping there had been a miracle improvement to make that result not quite as bad.

Clearly not and it is one of the worst results ever.

A lead is a lead, but thin gruel so far and the travelling fans not impressed.

I thought after the early goal it could have been a good win coming. The more the half went on the slower Scotland got.

Something isn't right.

The Marinos not getting much ball, but more direct and penetrating than Scots when they do.... we have no zip or pace, and running out of ideas.

Hopefully McTominay coming on will give us a bit of direction. He's played a couple of decent balls since he came on.

We do look bereft of ideas when we're on the ball though.
