Israel Vs Scotland 28th March

Needing a winner so we bring on Kenny fucking McLean 😂

Too many players not turning up yet again, not helped by starting with a pish formation that just doesn’t work and some utterly baffling substitutions to boot.

Absolutely hopeless

For once we got a fairly kind draw and I’m sure a lot of us fancied our first World Cup in 20+ years.
We really needed six points from these opening two games. Four would have kept us alive for second spot but six was needed if we were going to be in the discussion for winning the group.
We’ve got a pathetic two and we are almost certainly out after two qualifying games. Awful stuff and not acceptable tbh. And the worst thing is no one is surprised.
Compare and contrast these opening two games with Denmark. Go to Israel and win 2-0 with minimum fuss and wallop Moldova 8–0. That’s how you qualify for World Cups and that’s why they will be in Qatar and we will not.
Steve Clark has two penalty shoot out wins against Israel and Serbia to be thankful for. If he had lost either he’d be out of a job tonight.

Except it wasn’t very good. 

never said it was good, it was far better than that shit show in the first half, the fact we actually pressed and tried to go forward in the second half is far better , still not good enough though.

Utter, utter shite. I'll always appreciate the night in Belgrade but i worry Steve Clarke is not the man. Setting us up against Israel as if we're playing against World Cup finalists is unforgivable. Same inferiority complex shite we've been plagued with in the past, Dismal.

Last couple of minutes summed that up. Good possession in the final third, good teams keep the pressure on, we make 8 passes to work the ball back to Hanley inside or own half who hoofs it aimlessly to their CB.

Better second half at least.

Frustrating that we finally have a collection of decent, more than capable players but we haven't actually looked any better in the last 3 or 4 games than we've been for a decade.

We are technically inferior to Israel and were lucky to get a point. Our first touch all over the park is fucking horrific

I like how Israel play. Careless at times giving away cheap possession but when it works it is quick tempo attack. They should have won.

Genuinely depressing stuff

Clarke is so scared to lose, we have no ambition to win.

Folk will say we'd have lost both of those under previous managers, and they may be right, but at least have a fucking go and try to win the game. For f**k sake!

we did have a go second half but once again its a half too late, we now need to be more like what we were in the second half from now on, its not good enough setting out being so negative

Settling for a draw was absolute insanity there. That passage of play in stoppage time where McGregor had the ball about 40 yards from goal, he had five men ahead of him all standing completely still rather than showing for the ball and went backwards to Hanley who punted it away summed up the shitebaggery. Pathetic attitude, pathetic performance, pathetic result.
