an86 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Any attendance figure for last night? Great turnout. Three or four years ago, you’d have been looking at loads of sections not even being opened for a midweek game like that. Great to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better finisher than Armstong anyway, and yep, was frustrating as feck seeing Armstrong missing so many chances. Agree yeah, he'll have to have a decent season with Hearts before he'll get noticed at International level, heading in the right direction though. Can I just check, you’re taking the piss aye? You’re not seriously suggesting that Scotland should drop Stuart Armstrong in favour of Alan Forrest, are you? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting that SSC (and maybe the general public also?) likely got the majority of the tickets for these games as part of the 4 game package that guaranteed a ticket to the playoff game, I think that will have had a large part to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Total mystery why Armstrong has spent the last 8 years playing for Celtic and in the Barclays while Forrest has been playing for Ayr and Livi. (I know he’s a Hearts player but he’s played for them for about 8 weeks). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowArab Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I saw the Austin McPhee stats last night about how many more goals we've scored from set pieces. Does anyone know how many goals we were conceding at set pieces, before and after McPhee joined us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been lucky-ish with draws lately. We avoided the Italy/Portugal section of the recent playoffs, our WC qualifying group was reasonable. Only thing that’s gone against us was being drawn for away playoff finals both times since the format began, but we won away once and didn’t even make the final the other time. I think we are due a stinker of a draw. Pot 1 opponent isn’t that important. If anything, might be better to draw the best team and hope they cruise the group and then we can compete for the 2nd and final automatic place. But we need to draw favourable opponents from pots 2/3 and 4. Edited September 22, 2022 by Donathan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Dykes are on 23 already and he’s only been playing for us 2 year. I think its more that Scotland are back to being a club like side. Clarke has a stable squad, and sticks with his players, whereas some of our previous managers have picked on form and fashion and had players in and out of squads all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Everyone laps it up when we win but if we get a bad result it'll turn quickly the other way sadly. I suppose best just to enjoy it while it's good. Taken as a whole Steve Clarke's time as manager has been by some distance the best time watching the National team in recent memory so I'm happy about that. He's doing a great job for us.

Not so sure about the away top......yet. Not great, but hardly an abomination. Favourite Adidas item has been the black anthem tracksuit top with greyed/shaded badge. Difficult to get hold of and the ones publicly released or at least when I was looking only had the color badge. Had a real Adidas Beckenbauer range quality to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say before any more WC qualifiers but he will v likely remain for the next batch, and invariably we will be out of the reckoning. Then Clarke will probably move onto the English Championship.
