southsidebud Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 What a great appointment. Amazed that the SFA finally made a good choice that resonates with the rest of the country - "stopped clocks" and all that, I suppose...[emoji846] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Great choice , there isn’t really many decent Scottish managers around capable of doing the job so best man now in place , as for Moyes hopefully he was a non starter and he now ends up at Porkheid.

Sweeper07 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Was there any credible other possibilities ? Even if McInnes has been really interested, he is not as good an option as Clarke... Hopefully Clarke does what he did at Killie - take us from pretty low down to very much higher up... He might need to find players with some kind of Scottish relatives or who are about to emerge... Good luck to Clarke and let's move up the rankings . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whydowebother Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Doubt it.Very good appointment Sadly, changes nothing. We still have piss poor players to ‘pick from’.No passion, commitment, desire from our players. Magically injured/unavailable, turn up for their team before or after international games....... nah, changes nothing Time to say to the players that don’t turn up for friendly games/ competitive games - see ye later , you had your chance & pick players who want to play Today Tierney - declares fitness for Celtic cup final Then again unavailable for Scotland But exactly this happened a wee while back, picking & choosing Play for club not country then magically for club ( this time an operation after the final ) but the point remains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst footballer in Scotland. Is fast but so is Usain Bolt. Overall we look weak at the back and up front. Midfield, IMO, looks pretty strong. Just shows what a tough job it is trying to compete with decent football players when this is what's at your disposal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windae cleaner Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Lot of Sevco fans up in arms that Clarke has an agenda against them by not picking any of their players Ryan Jack might have a case but as someone pointed out midfield is the only area we are well off in We are really shite up front though Danny Mullen must be in with a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Well, tonight's the night we'll see if Clarke can do better with a pretty poor looking squad of football players, IMO. The players, as would be expected, are saying the right things and I think Clarke will get something from them the previous manager didn't and should be enough to win tonight. Unfortunately we play them Belgians on Tuesday, that could be a thumping. They play the mighty Kazakhstan tonight, 6-0 quite possible.

As it happens, going to do something else tonight that a ‘certain’ manager suggested if we want ‘entertainment’Off to the Cinema [emoji2]They can change the manager as often as they like, sadly it doesn’t change what he has to pick from1 or 2 promising individuals doesn’t a squad makeI hope Clarke at least stops the usual suspects that ‘pick n choose’ games joining the squad going forward Scotland 4-1 Cyprus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 0-0 half time. Very poor start, after 20 minutes started to get more of the ball, as usual, final ball is woeful therefore we get no real chances. Fraser, a wonder boy in England is as guilty as anyone for wasting any half chances. We really need a centre forward, no one is a real danger man, the midfield are no real goal threat either. Steve Clarke must wonder what the feck he's taken on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
