So if that was a deal breaker in any sense, could you then...
what happens there then Andrew if you don't give them I'm not going to the World Cup that would never happen no no no not that but the question I'm asking is do you then go to a World Cup with a manager who's potentially then unhappy at his contract situation is that something that the SFA have to weigh up going into it again the clues in the title the SFA are the governing body it's their job to govern
the national team's affairs and for me it did not make sense to have a four year contract extension before the World Cup even started for me they are in awe of Steve Clarke and what Steve Clarke wants Steve Clarke gets maybe they feel the fact he's got them to three major tournaments and done what
because it was always going to be a risk handing out a contract before the World Cup because could you imagine the reaction if Scotland had lost to Haiti in the first game and people have gone well you've given the manager a four year contract and we've just lost to Haiti it obviously didn't happen but even at this stage where a lot of people maybe aren't happy with the performances and we're now at a stage where we're having to wait for other results
giving him a contract, there was a risk that this was going to happen, that some supporters would then raise those questions after the World Cup.
I think the certainty now is that when the fans come back, when the sunburn dies down, there'll be a retrospective examination of Scotland in America.
And that will also take in Scotland in Germany four years earlier and Scotland in Glasgow and London four years before that.
So it will come up for re-examination and...
Some fans will say, how can you have allowed a four-year extension before a ball was kicked in the USA?
On Craig's point about some of the top players not turning up, he singled out Scott McTominay as one of those.
How much do they need to take responsibility as well?
How much of it is about them and what they do in the pitch?
How much of it is to do with how they're being deployed and what they can do in that system?
Is it a bit of a shared responsibility?
0141 951 1025 Clyde One Super Scoreboard Final chance to get your calls in on Clyde One Super Scoreboard Scott Allen and Hugh Keevans here with me Andrew McLean I've just realised it could be the final
two hour show of the World Cup we don't know yet because if Scotland go through we'll be back with two hours on Monday night if they don't go through I think we'll be back to the one hour format for the rest of summer can you imagine we end up through how good well if we end up going through that's another thing the manager got wrong because he said we were going home
I was looking at some of the other World Cup results last night, obviously with an interest in Scotland, but just beyond that, an interest in some of the players that play in Scotland.
Goals for both Dyson Maeda and Austin Trusty last night?
Yeah, it raises Maeda's profile if it wasn't high enough as it is.
So that would raise the possibility of Maeda leaving.
