Yeah, I think there's a lot of positives to be taken in terms of where they're landing at the moment.
After two games with three points and zero goal difference, it could be a lot worse.
It also could be better.
I think that there was a few good things I saw.
I thought McLean came off the bench and done well.
I thought Ferguson was good, which also would unlock McTominay and McGinn a little bit higher up.
for the Brazil game I thought McTominay was a wee bit more of a threat this game in their box as well especially second half first half left a lot to be desired and obviously he started Tierney left wing which was a tactical decision that if it worked he was a genius but unfortunately after two minutes to score a goal from down that side Tierney is one of our best players for me but
Steve Clarke doesn't really lose heavily he always seems to be in the games Germany okay Germany being the big example but other than that there's not many games where he loses heavily and I think he always refers back to the Germany game and Steve Clarke is quite pragmatic isn't he he's quite he's quite negative when setting up his team which is fine
defensively that's fine negative's probably not the right word but to paint a picture I don't think he'll go and play two strikers up front with Doak and Christie so against Brazil he's probably the best manager to go and get you a 2-0 defeat probably gets you through however
I think on the flip side Scotland should be going into this game with a few more goals against Haiti and the Morocco 1-0 is then a great result in terms of you're going to go through I think your first obligation is caution when you're playing Brazil and when you're playing them in a place like Florida so he will pick his team accordingly I think
I don't think McTominay's was a penalty.
I think the McGinn one, in the middle of the part you're giving it, he took a heavy touch by the defender, which he wanted to do.
and he's just kind of collapsed his body into him waiting for contact, the defenders then gave contact so you need to kind of weigh it up in the referee's eyes thinking did he look to get the foul which he probably did but the defender still bought a ticket, he still took it and still took him out so
Personally, I'm on the fence.
I would have hated to see it given against you in a big game like that.
That's the only reason why I'm saying 50-50.
If I wasn't going to be looking for it for myself, I would say no penalty, but there's definitely a claim.
Yeah, you're proud to be Scottish.
I think domestically we could learn a lot from it.
I think when the Tartan Army get together they forget their team colours and they just go and be Scottish and everybody that comes to Scotland, I've lived in London before so I've got a good example to kind of compare it.
