When the ****s got to run the show and developed 'rules as you go'.

'Scotland have the players to hurt Belgium" - Steve Clarke. Might have been a good idea to put them in the starting line up then Steve.

A whirling vortex of bilious blue blistering barnacles lifted the Karaboujan from Ostend harbour and passed her sturdy hull into the safe draught of the Hampden swirl. Tin Tin and faithful hound Snowy alighted on to the hallowed turf. Captain Haddock bellowed, "ten thousand thundering typhoons" . Thomson and Thompson chorused, "get going, we are all set". Through the floodlight glare, TinTin saw all in pastel shades and declared, "Snowy, it's plucky little Belgium against Scotland". Enough of the fantasy, let's endure the reality. This is going to be sore. Still, throughout, if it helps; let's remember Herge was a collaborator.

Just wait until Clarke gets tore into San Marino, then we'll see the real CV at work.

Tom Irish sayin Clarke has an exceptional CV and he will succeed.?

SFA are too focused on more important issues!

I wonder what he did after he quit snooker!! Well done.

It’s Orwellian. Truth is inverted, history re-imagined in our poisonous little Leftist totalitarian backwater. Any Rangers fans out there who voted SNP? Shame.

I’m not sure they can get away with that? They also sing about “Orange and H@ns” this and that. I take your point though, I agree with not taking away tickets and constant filming and audio recording of them.

How about the French balls up. Playing the Andorra national anthem for Albania and then the announcer apologizing to the Armenian fans for the mistake. Cant wait for the domestic games to be back this weekend.

Scotland 2019! As seen with accompanying photo', you can talk about child rape inside Celtic's hospitality suites. Of course, Celtic the club and separate entity must be paid the necessary fee for the hire of said suite, and another fee for food and refreshments. The separate entity receives remuneration for a situation they in part created. Really, you could not make this up. Further, if you want to talk about child rape in the context of football, then you run the interference of Celtic hired agencies(Radio Clyde) or blank refusal to open the discussion to the Scottish public(BBC Scotland). How does one club effect so much control?

In fact that's the links updated now. Don't say Chic isn't good to you! https://www.gersnet.co.uk/index.php/online-museum/other-resources/the-chic-sharp-file

Regarding Kent and Sutton inspired media chatter about 'panic buying' after a disappointing loss. The reality is that Steven Gerrard made it clear right from the end of last season that he wanted Kent back and Kent for his part was equally as eager. Steven Gerrard obviously thinks Ryan Kent is key to his quest of taking the title. And while being aware of conflicting opinions on that i'm encouraged Gerrard thinks he's so essential it's worth splashing out the second biggest transfer fee in the clubs history. And that following the financial issues of recent years. Stats have been pulled up against him but as many have said stats aren't the whole picture. Kent must have something and can do something for the team only someone like Gerrard with his vast experience at the highest level of the game can have the depth of insight required to really see. Reportedly the players who played alongside him last season were excited about it too. Gerrard has been chasing him for months and everybody knew it yet in the world of Sutton when they actually go out and acquire him it's a surprising 'panic buy' Quite the nerve suggesting the people who run our club are so unstable as to be throwing around pretty much the entire Europa league kitty while in a 'panic'

The best Scotland sides I saw were in the early sixties. Caldow, Baxter and Law would have been in the GB team, possibly Brown and Henderson too before Best developed. Plenty of other Scots players would have been under consideration along with Danny Blanchflower and Jennings (NI) Cliff Jones and Ivor Allchurch (W) and Bobby Charlton, Jimmy Armfield, Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Moore (E) You could make a decent team out of that. Now you would just have to pick England.

These people are just so pathetic. At least football fans exhibit their bigotry openly, unlike these prawns who hide it behind their blazers.
