Chapter 1: What are the expectations for Scotland vs. Brazil in the World Cup?

0.959 - 29.869 Andrew McLean

Captain Andy Robertson leading out his team, his nation. Steve Clarke, what a hero. Live from Glasgow and live with the Tartan Army. In Finnegan's Way, Miami. 0141 951 1025. This is Clyde One Super Scoreboard.

37.004 - 60.042 Tony Watt

Good evening and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard. We are just one day away from Scotland's final group match against Brazil. Steve Clarke gets set to address the media, but how will he approach the game? Motherwell's new manager speaks for the first time and could Hearts fetch up to £10 million for Claudio Braga? I'm Andrew McLean. Joining me in the studio are Jim Duffy and Gordon DL.

0

60.022 - 79.586 Gordon Dalziel

Yeah, as you say, we're certainly gearing up to, I would probably say, and I hope Jim agrees with me, the biggest night in the international, Scotland's football career. Would you agree with that, Jim? First time ever to qualify. If we just get a point. You're a real tartan army fan. You go to most Scotland games.

0

80.388 - 90.906 Jim Duffy

No, I think it's one of those ones, Daz, where I just think everyone wants to approach the game as exactly what you say, with the opportunity to do something that no Scotland team has ever done before, which is the...

0

90.886 - 109.063 Jim Duffy

qualify for the knockout stages so you don't want to go out with a whimper you want to give it everything you've got so I think that's what Andrew was saying there what kind of team he picks does he go a little bit conservative and wait until the latter stages of the game or does he say well listen this is exactly what you're saying a chance to make history let's go all guns blazing

109.043 - 127.342 Gordon Dalziel

Yeah, I think for most of the Tartan Army, especially the younger side of the Tartan Army, this is the biggest game ever for them. Of course it is. We've got a great chance of making history tomorrow night. Listen, it's got to be difficult. I totally agree with Jim. You're up against Brazil. A point does it. Listen, a 1-0 could do it.

127.763 - 150.27 Gordon Dalziel

You know, there's a lot of ways we could get through and I don't care how we do it as long as we get there. And I think the big question is two things for me. What is the team going to be Will he change formation? And will he be very defensive? That's three things. I was getting in before. I could hear you counting them in your head there.

150.55 - 158.739 Gordon Dalziel

So there's the three things that I would like to ask tonight. The phone-in should be about that. What is the fans thinking? What should the team be?

Chapter 2: How does Steve Clarke plan to approach the Brazil match?

158.799 - 166.928 Gordon Dalziel

What should the formation be? And should we be attacking or defending for our lives to get that valuable point?

0

166.908 - 178.401 Tony Watt

Steve Clarke is going to speak in the next couple of hours I'm sure he'll be asked a lot of questions about his approach to the game who's fit what personnel are likely to play but he's a man that keeps his cards close to his chest isn't he Jim?

0

179.322 - 193.978 Jim Duffy

All managers do that they're not going to come out and say yeah we're going to throw caution to the wind we're going to go and attack at all costs and leave ourselves exposed he's going to be conservative he's going to say all the things we expect him to say he's going to be organised he's going to be disciplined they're going to

0

193.958 - 214.718 Jim Duffy

look to take their opportunities when they come their way we'll say all the cliched things but that's listen that's a manager you know there's very very few managers that are that flamboyant that will come out with you know I mean obviously some managers have I mean you know obviously England playing tonight they're saying they're there to win the World Cup you know they're there to get to the knockout stage they're there to win it so I mean if you've got

0

214.698 - 232.797 Jim Duffy

Quality players, if you believe that that's your... I think Pochettino said it for the States. He actually says, no, we want to try and win it. So it all depends on your approach. But I think... Sorry, we're just laughing because I think... Cristiano Ronaldo is open to scoring for Portugal against Uzbekistan. We're just talking about me and Daz before the kick-off.

232.817 - 257.26 Jim Duffy

I'm saying there's an absolute certainty he scored because I can't believe he gets criticised. Look at his record before somebody criticises him. He's a phenomenon. An absolute phenomenon. To still be scoring goals in the World Cup at 41 years of age. He's a physical specimen that is just like, honestly, he beats a scientific robot. He's unbelievable. He's phenomenal.

257.24 - 263.855 Gordon Dalziel

All the big centre-forwards are really stepping up at this World Cup, aren't they? They're banging in goals.

263.875 - 265.379 Tony Watt

He'll have known he had to score in this game.

265.399 - 265.84 Gordon Dalziel

100%.

Chapter 3: What are the fans' sentiments ahead of the big game?

410.701 - 436.708 Jim Duffy

a night to remember I mean the winning against Haiti was yeah it was a brilliant result we know it wasn't the best performance but it was a brilliant result and it created a fantastic atmosphere up to the Morocco game Morocco game was a little bit flat because I didn't think Morocco were great I think if we really would have played at our very best we certainly should have got something from the game yeah we know it was a couple of contention decisions but we left it a little bit too late to have a real go and

0

436.688 - 452.605 Jim Duffy

We fully understand the quality of Brazil. No one's underestimating it and everybody keeps saying, yeah, they're not in Brazil of, you know, maybe the former years and that, but nevertheless, it's Brazil. There's still a fantastic football inside with real quality. But I still feel that when Scotland play...

0

452.585 - 466.964 Jim Duffy

you know, with that passion, you know, with that intensity, you know, then there's a chance. And I would just love to see that rather than sit back and then just invite Brazil to them for the full 90 minutes and keep our fingers crossed that you can get a result. Why don't we have a go?

0

467.004 - 477.478 Jim Duffy

Because we've got three points on the board, you know, regarding, I mean, other results might fall in my favour anyway, but if you've got an opportunity to qualify...

0

477.458 - 497.913 Tony Watt

through your own performance then surely that's the best one you want right 01419511025 this is your final chance to let us know your thoughts ahead of the Brazil game how are you feeling are you confident do you think Scotland can just get the result tomorrow that sees us through instead of having To play the waiting game... In the next few days... Who should Steve Clarke play?

497.953 - 501.518 Tony Watt

Who shouldn't he play? What should the system be like? And how should he approach the match?

501.598 - 523.547 Tony Watt

542.685 - 549.411 Tony Watt

Let's speak to Brendan, who is in Pollock. Brendan, what does Scotland need to do tomorrow night to get that result to see us through?

Chapter 4: How has the Tartan Army been received in Miami?

683.417 - 695.672 Jim Duffy

And everyone knew what they brought to the tournament. So like Brendan's saying there, they bring that passion, they bring that spirit. But the players, yeah, the fans are doing that

0

695.652 - 724.9 Jim Duffy

in their droves and they've been magnificent I mean I'm sure that the Scottish Tourist Board are absolutely thrilled because the Americans have been booking up to all coming over here for holidays and breaks but in terms of the pitch we have to turn up against Brazil we have to get a lot of things right of course we do we took the ball and understand that God we made a very basic error in the early part of the game against Morocco you can't afford to have any elapses of concentration against Brazil or we will get punished

0

724.88 - 745.437 Jim Duffy

but in the football inside yeah you have to have that passion you have to have that desire and you know as Brendan would say play with your heart and your sleeve but you have to be controlled on a football pitch this is a different aspect from some of the things that Brendan's talking about you have to have calmness you have to have composure in the situations but

0

745.822 - 753.332 Jim Duffy

The message that you're saying there is give it everything you've got, don't leave anything on the pitch and I fully agree with that.

0

753.352 - 768.994 Gordon Dalziel

Could you imagine that our back five was the guys Brendan was talking about there and the Brazilian manager saying, by the way, you're playing against a back five that were prepared to jump out of play and without Paris, they wouldn't have gone near us. We would have a clean sheet, wouldn't we, Jim? A clean sheet.

769.447 - 771.55 Tony Watt

You did a skydive, didn't you, for Cash for Kids?

771.57 - 778 Gordon Dalziel

Yeah, let me tell you, I was never jumping in without a manager. That's for sure. I was not one of those names in Carluk.

778.861 - 782.166 Tony Watt

Brendan, you're feeling passionate. Can we do it? Are we going to do it tomorrow?

783.889 - 794.425

See if we just leave every bit out in that pit. If the players are absolutely flat on their feet come that final whistle,

Chapter 5: What are the key tactical decisions for Scotland against Brazil?

1091.336 - 1105.667 Tony Watt

0141 951 1025. We had that rousing speech from Brendan on the line beforehand. He was getting everyone... hyped up for the game he was talking about soldiers and parachutes it turns out that that

0

1105.951 - 1130.187 Tony Watt

is an urban myth and it's about the Gurkhas and not Scottish soldiers but why let it get in the way of a good motivational speech let's not tell the Scotland players that when we send Brendan into the changing room tomorrow yeah I love that if he's in that dressing room the Scottish players wouldn't have known that keep it going Brendan I'm with you the passion was pouring out of his body and you can understand that and that's what the game and the tournament was done for the Scotland team

0

1130.167 - 1160.106 Jim Duffy

supporters and for even people who don't normally bother about football we were talking about the you know watching it or you know the excitement it's all part of it all the bars all these things all the businesses that have been struggling over the last couple of years are getting a mega turn which is brilliant so you know let's hope we can keep it going for another couple of games Right let's cross live to Miami shall we because Gabriel Antoniazzi is poised to speak to Steve Clark in the coming minutes so what's on the agenda Gabriel?

0

1161.503 - 1180.733 Gabriel Antoniazzi

Yeah, Andrew, good afternoon from this magnificent stadium behind me here, the home of the Miami Dolphins in the north of the city. As you said, we're going to be speaking to Steve Clark in about one hour's time. The media center just about to open, and we're going to hear from him and a player, usually Captain Andy Robertson. What's going to be on the agenda?

0

1180.773 - 1203.848 Gabriel Antoniazzi

Well, it's going to be the fitness concerns will probably be top of the bill. They did train this morning. The whole squad trained. However, Aaron Hickey trained individually with the sports science and the fitness people by himself. We know Hickey missed that game, the 1-0 defeat against Morocco last week with an injury. But we're going to hear from Steve Clarke. Will Hickey be available?

1203.948 - 1220.383 Gabriel Antoniazzi

Will everyone else be available? We'll find out. very shortly as i said they trained at into miami stadium not far away from here this morning the team flew in from their base camp in charlotte last night and full focus is going to be on brazil i'm sure that clark will get asked questions about the permutations and everything

1220.718 - 1240.324 Gabriel Antoniazzi

Obviously, everyone back home has been trying to work out what happens if we do X, Y and Z. Can we go through? Who and where will we be playing? So I expect Clark to brush that off. You know what he's like. But also the weather might be a topic of contention. I don't know if you can see. It is very grey behind me. It's extremely hot, extremely clammy.

1240.885 - 1260.134 Gabriel Antoniazzi

And there is some lightning dropping around the area. It's not actually raining at the moment. It has been raining for the past hour. And everyone saw what happened in the France match yesterday. A big delay. There are due to be thunderstorms tomorrow. We don't know exactly when, but in Miami, there are due to be thunderstorms. So Clark will no doubt be asked, what are the plans?

1260.154 - 1275.138 Gabriel Antoniazzi

Are the plans in place? Are the players prepared if they have to go back into the changing room for an hour or two? Everyone will remember what happened three years ago against Georgia at Hamden. That was in June as well, when it was about a two-hour delay due to the rain. So maybe there is a protocol in place from Scotland.

Chapter 6: How do injuries impact Scotland's lineup against Brazil?

1422.674 - 1437.497 Gabriel Antoniazzi

One's got a boat party. One's got a DJ night as well. So Clyde One, well represented down here in Miami. I think it'll be a special, special evening. And then full focus will be on the game tomorrow against Brazil, which is at six o'clock local time. But as you know, back home, that's 11 p.m. in Scotland.

0

1437.832 - 1445.698 Tony Watt

Brilliant. Thank you very much to Gabriel. We'll let him head off to the press room ahead of speaking to Steve Clarke and a Scotland player.

0

1445.915 - 1469.458 Jim Duffy

Uzbekistan actually scored they made it 2-1 but that has been ruled out for a foul it was a phenomenal goal it was an unbelievable goal he's caught it for about 20 odd yards right in the top corner but there was a free kick leading up to the break of the ball and the referee after a VR intervention decided there was a free kick to Portugal and they cancelled the goal so Uzbekistan unfortunately didn't get a

0

1469.438 - 1492.476 Tony Watt

a chance to celebrate Gabriel has come under a bit of stick for what he's been wearing on the show over the last couple of weeks he had an Atletico Madrid top that he'd had tailored into a vest that he was wearing on the show last night plain white t-shirt today absolutely fine although someone has pointed out to me Gordon DL that you look as if you are wearing a Primark staff uniform

0

1494.025 - 1513.57 Tony Watt

colour scheme of that t-shirt is that Primark I mean it looks like a Primark staff t-shirt listen I'm proud to say I can buy some of my t-shirts in Primark you shouldn't buy the staff t-shirts but hold on a minute see the see the under armoured badge is that not giving away it's the colour scheme that's the issue

1513.55 - 1527.951 Gordon Dalziel

I've got my shorts on as well. I feel like we need to see that. Watch your hips. I'm just out the gym. I'm obviously trying to get back into fitness. I've missed Miami because of my fitness situation. I'm trying to get back there.

1528.232 - 1532.919 Tony Watt

Just in case Scotland gets through to the next round and you're fit to go to Mexico City or back to Boston.

1533.019 - 1542.072 Gordon Dalziel

I'm right over there, back to Boston. So I make no excuses for the way I've turned up. Listen, I'll tell you what, people out there are very...

1542.052 - 1566.928 Jim Duffy

fickle isn't it Jim you know what I mean but you're a celebrity so therefore people look at celebrities there's no celebrity here let me tell you now I'm a pre-mart worker I've got a night shift in pre-mart after this yeah a fashionista and people might follow what you wear and think there's got to be elsewhere then I may be trying to get it somewhere but Gabriel obviously Miami he's talking about the possibility of whether anybody's been in Florida this time of the year

Chapter 7: What are the potential formations Scotland might use?

1793.043 - 1799.955 Tony Watt

But on the other hand, you've got to realise that we're also still in a very good position to get to where we want to be and where we've never been before.

0

1799.935 - 1829.132 Jim Duffy

football is passionate and fans get passionate and they react to that you know it's a reactive sport you know people do it instantly now they do it on social media they make comments on it you know managers are judged sometimes not by their tactical knowledge but by their personality you know some of the people as I said before they want Kevin Bridges doing interviews you know they don't want a guy that comes out with cliche dancers you know he should be smiling more he should have a better personality all these type of things

0

1829.112 - 1853.466 Jim Duffy

that's just that people want the whole package they want everything perfect and after the game again it's a little bit easier to say right we should have played this person or that person or this shape I mean I actually thought he would play Tierney and I thought he should play Tierney the only one I would have thought and again it would be a contentious decision because I thought he might have brought Kenny McLean in just to give us a little bit more

0

1853.446 - 1880.567 Jim Duffy

I suppose it was how he played Tierney was the interesting point the fact he played him as a left midfielder rather than playing him as a sort of left centre back of a three maybe the area the pitch and stuff but he's looking to maybe just push in and top of people and then drop in and they've obviously worked at that it didn't quite work but you know Morocco as Simon said there should be a team that's ahead of Scotland in a lot of aspects but

0

1881.492 - 1911.01 Jim Duffy

as the game wore on Scotland grew into the game this game here that we've all agreed is a game where we need to try and get something from it we need to try and get something from it so where the Summers are chasing the Euros the last game and we just didn't give it a go so regardless of what someone thinks should be the team regardless of what someone thinks the shape we should be playing I think what we want to be doing here is we're not leaving Excel exposed I think we should play three in midfield whatever where they play is

1910.99 - 1930.095 Jim Duffy

you know 5-3-2 or whether he plays 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 if you want to call it that but I think we need to have an extra player in the middle of the pitch but that's my opinion but I still want us to have a goal within reason within reason but just don't don't go out with a whimper

1930.075 - 1938.646 Tony Watt

And Simon, it is a results-driven business. And if Scotland go out and people aren't happy with their performances and don't make it to the knockout stage, then the noise will be a bit louder.

1938.666 - 1951.763 Tony Watt

But do you feel if Scotland get through to the knockout stage, create history, you know, in the fullness of time, people won't really concentrate too much on how it happened, how many goals we scored, what the performances were like. It's about the fact that we've done something that we've never done before.

1952.35 - 1970.11

Yeah, absolutely. I think there'll be some people who, even if they get through, they'll just say, oh, we only won one game, or we only scored that goal against Haiti. If we got a 0-0 tomorrow, people will be still saying that. That's the nature of football. I think on the team selection, I've heard a lot of people say that they want Laurence Shanklin to start now.

Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts and predictions for the match?

2319.196 - 2338.96 Tony Watt

let me say I'll probably get paid more if you're watching the live stream then you'll be able to see it if not then it can tell you it's the it's the sort of light blue t-shirt but the sleeves are navy I mean it is it is uncanny like you now that you can see it on screen who's flagged that up one of those in there because I'll go in

0

2338.94 - 2356.24 Gordon Dalziel

I couldn't possibly tell you who's pointed it out to me I'll have a few strong words with them in that other room by the way because have you seen the way they're dressed and they're slaughtering my Primark outfit by the way the Primark have blue sort of trousers as well to go with the uniform I don't know actually is that because I'm in blue

0

2357.198 - 2378.443 Tony Watt

I could walk right in there I could fit right in there you'd be getting asked if they've got certain stuff in stock you'd be getting stopped all over the place if you went in there right now anyway I'm happy with that that's good other clothes shops are available yeah that is that is brilliant right anyway let's get back to the serious stuff Rhys is in Dunfermline Rhys how's it going?

0

2381.266 - 2383.088 Tony Watt

Rhys is gone we got you Rhys

0

2385.228 - 2386.349

Yeah, good, thanks.

2386.55 - 2393.798 Tony Watt

Good stuff. We've got you now. Yes, we are all good, thank you. What are you thinking ahead of the game tomorrow? Yes, got you, Rhys. What are you thinking ahead of tomorrow?

2394.559 - 2394.759

Hello?

2396.722 - 2399.245 Tony Watt

Oh, Rhys. Rhys?

2399.265 - 2406.754

Yeah, I just think Steve Clarke's got the tactics spot on. You hear me okay?
