Hirst should have scored but he's done far more than Adams any time he's started recently.Quote:

Building for the future then.Quote:

Would agree with that. But just about the only positive. I barely noticed Tierney was playing other than one cross on the first half. How Clarke could wait over 60 mins before making tactical subs is almost beyond belief.Quote:

Commentator talking about Clarke’s loyalty to players. Starting Hanley - who toiled to get a game in the English third tier - ahead of McKenna who’s been up against Mbappe, Yamal and co in Spain. Crazy.
Commentary team praising Clarke’s loyalty as a manager, whilst telling us he’s selecting guys who can’t get a game in the English third tier
Whilst we’ve watched the last couple of years as pish like Kenny McLean get picked over Lewis Ferguson consistently
I just can't take to Clarke's Scotland, dour, plodding football.
At least we’ve been able to get a decent look at Grant Hanley tonight
They must have been taking the piss surely?Quote:

They’ve actually sounded quite positive about Clarke whilst criticising the players
Since the Germany game and the half time fall out the players haven't been playing for him. Time to go.
Subs have been different class.
Hahaha!Quote:

Just checked score and saw Scotland losing 3-1.
This national team will never move forward under Clarke.
Fresh ideas and players needed - simply not good enough friendly or not.
What happened? First I’m hearing about it.Quote:

Clarke isn’t helping himself here. As others have said, if you don’t experiment in a friendly when do you. Why call up Bowie, Doig and not give them a go particularly when the performance has been so poor here. We all know what Che Adams can do so why bring him on with 10 to go? Baffling.
Souttar isn’t such a crap defender and this keeper will never be seen in a squad again.
Don't think it was a positive point being made.Quote:

Same with Bowie, a chance to play at Hampden, but Clarke would rather give Adams another cap and learn nothing new at all
Miller has looked quite comfortable, hope he starts next game.
All those ch ch ch ch changes and ironically no sign of Bowie?
Apparently there was a right rammy in the dressing room involving McGregor, Robertson and Clarke. Players didn't agree with his set up.Quote:

Thought even the commentators had went home early!
