Would have made interesting last 20 minutes if McGinn had scored.

As it is, he bottled it.

Commentator does realise that none of the Ukraine players have been there for months. They're living in top class comfort and have been training for this for months.

Don't worry, no conspiracy required. Clarke is just a shit manager.

No he is not. Better than what we've had...however that might not say much ..

No body briefed big Craigy though

I think they did but big Craigy is a professional.

 

And told them to ram it.

Yep, it was that ****ing easy but he arsed it up. Just head it straight and it was a goal. Didn't even make keeper save it.

They’re not good enough to deliberately chuck a game. 

Correct. They are a good outfit.

Clarke can't do anything about McGinn or the Utd boy unable to control a ball.

Exactly, they've not been on the front line or anything. 

 

Their lives (albeit tragically entwined with friends, family etc back home) have been leading up to this for a good long while. 

 

If you want to talk about the mental impact, well they're 2 nil up so the ones with the mental issues (IMO) are the Scotland team and management set up.

Disagree. He's been incredibly lucky. If he had the same qualifying levels as previous managers he would have been nowhere near a major finals. The number of games where we have been under the cosh, barely had a shot but come away with a result is a sign of luck not managerial talent.

Bazzas right boot

Ukraine have been all over us in general but if fat arse scored that Ukraine were on the ropes. 

The game changes. 

 

Alas, he never and we'll go out with a whimper.

We have no excuse. We have played dogshit, with dogshit tactics under a manager who picks dogshit players.

If I was a cynical man. I would say that we were chucking this game.
 

If I was a cynical man.

Letting Ukraine win and boycotting Qatar?

Lose the football but win the moral high ground.

Makes a change from glorious failure I guess .

He could stop picking them or sub them... 

 

Maybe a couple of things he could do...

They couldn’t beat Kazakhstan in 2 games!  Although did draw twice with France.  Think they only won 2 games, suggests they struggle to score goals when not up against a back 3 like Scotland’s.

No but he could do something about the defence he picked, the tactics he went with and the fact we have had about two chances in 80minutes.

 

They say it is better to be lucky than good. Trouble is when your runs out you have nothing.

 

Well, maybe his luck hasn't run out!

2-1 then.

Have to make this a siege for the last 10 minutes. Their keeper is not CG, that is for sure!!
