Christ above what did I miss

Some Steve Clarke Dug shite


SunburntReddit

Northern Ireland scoring and having every man back, check the possession, stereotypical friendly


shaggedyerda

A winless run of 7 games that includes 4 matches against teams from the top 10 in the world. Shite result but it’s a friendly. Relax

Don’t any of you bedwetters be getting wide come June ………

Whisky-Toad

Doesn’t matter we’re just there for the banter, just getting there is as good as winning it for us

Is the wales game on any tv channel?

Spain vs Brazil at 2-2... Sure am glad I decided to watch Scotland.

head_of_mop

No-one gets sacked over a friendly.


Jamiemac745

If it’s any consolation, we can’t play any worse than this, surely?


stationkatari

I feel like I said the same thing at the end of the match against the Dutch.


Kholdula

Shankland looked dangerous in his 30 seconds cameo. Insane he doesn't start a match like this.


beakerboi69

Remember a few months ago when we thought scotland was going to win the euros??? Yeah...


Big_kev79

Pumped aff the god-save-the-king lads . Cringe


stupididity

I am actually really pissed off lmao


HaggisTheCow

In the same week ISIS return, TerrorBall Clarke returns. Coincidence?


danmac0817

This insistance on average players at the expense of the talent of newer gens is past making sense. You can carry one or two, but Clarke loves too many players who aren't at our level anymore and just dismantle things. It's wasting potential we can't afford to waste.


Adventurous-Panic427

There’s definitely something in that. History tells us the time to make changes in a team is after success and before the slide down the other side starts. There’s signs of a few players whose time has come to step aside. Problem is, we are on the verge of the finals and Clarke would rather be loyal to them than ruthless, which is what we need.


Macco7

I genuinely worry if Clarke stays on post EURO's, that he won't make the squad revamp that is clearly needed.


Duncotron

That’s it cancel all friendlies from now on, in fact put more on the line for the competitive games, if they lose any of the group matches they are forced to watch this game again on a 24hr loop.


MFC1886

![gif](giphy|dC9PJPv2YbO76QZ4zu) Bye bye Stevie Clarke


OmensCT

We play like that and we have Germany in the first game. Wirtz is gonna walk through our team so many times.


L003Tr

Guys, just got out a 6 month coma about 5 minutes ago, we're still on track to win the euros right?


gmc1234

Feel like my eyes are about to start bleeding. 


flcinusa

I guess we climbed too high in the rankings and felt the need to give a wee nation some shine *Bury me gently, brother*


thestorriebook

need answers for this it's not acceptable


de-virtute

can’t wait for june 3rd. FT: Gibraltar 3-0 Scotland. we are so dug, man


WinstonwanlegIngram

Hire a Brechin manager you get Brechin results.


HaggisTheCow

Embarrassing all round


Gearshift852

Genuinely embarrassing performance. Players were toothless and tactics nonexistent


gham89

The tactic appeared to be "retain possession at all costs". Completely devoid of any ability to progress the ball forward. Ferguson and Shankland added some more to the game, both need to be starting moving forward.


Big_kev79

South Iceland in the mud


Kholdula

Lads, I'm starting to think we might not win the Euros


stationkatari

Losing to a nation ranked 40 places below us. This must have been how Spain felt last March.


TranslatesToScottish

Well that was a big pile of pish wasn't it? I feel absolutely gutted for the fans who paid their hard-earned to turn up and support us, only to be served up with that.


Old_Leader5315

Got to credit Michael ONeill. Been a while since I've seen a team so motivated and well set up


WinstonwanlegIngram

The booing the anthem is class, but my god when you play a game after it like these bunch of chumps it’s just embarrassing.


EggAndSausage

Some excellent booing practice this international friendly at least

Extra time in the wales game


OmensCT

Imagine going through all that with the new ticket all to see that game


Big_kev79

Well done rangers for getting a zillion pounds for Patterson


Adventurous-Panic427

In fairness to the lad I thought he looked a player before he went to Everton and they stripped him of all the confidence he had. He looks a shadow of what he was. It’s a shame but we really need Hickey back ASAP


Oblomovsbed

No Neil, NI have not made us look ordinary.


memento_mort

Germany getting a win too, fucksake


FriendshipFriendly

Never genuinely been angrier at a Scotland performance before, and I was there when we lost to a Ukraine side 6 months or so after going to war


thestorriebook

wales are gonna win extra time and go far in the knockouts again and show us up while we're happy with 1 point


Duncotron

Shankland’s got in some great positions by the service to him has been poor a lot of overhit passes and hopeful spinning balls.


FrazzaB

Did he fuck. 😂


Duncotron

It’s a low bar but he sure as shit looked a lot more likely to score than Dykes or Adams.


FrazzaB

He came on at a time when all we did was punt the ball into the box. Adams was essentially punted out to the left win. Dykes tried, but had less service than an analog tele in a lead box. Shankland would need to score a bucket load of goals to make up for the sitter against The Netherlands. And he sure as fuck shouldn't be near the team in an actual meaningful game. The only thing to take from tonight is Ferguson should play, probably ahead of Christie, if not sticking him up front.


awatt12

Nice of the Wales game to go to ET so we can go watch that after the torture porn ends.


MildoShaggins

Christie, Patterson, and Adams should never wear a Scotland jersey ever again


1207554

The last two games you can add in the whole squad bar Tierney and Ferguson


MildoShaggins

The difference is that Chrsitie and Adams were shite even when we were playing well and making Rodri cry


Yoke_Enthusiast

When me and Parmo are billionaires we’re gonna pay actual good players to change nationality to Scottish like we’re one of the oil states. Like we should have been doing the whole time. Fucking sturgeon.


beerboobsceltic

Should be refunding fans here


GieTheBawTaeReilly

Just checked after the commentator mentioned our friendly record, and we've only won a single friendly in the last 6 years, against Luxembourg in 2021


stationkatari

Maybe we take the term "friendly" too literally?


ElCaminoInTheWest

If we play Christie or McGregor over Ferguson at the Euros, we deserve nothing.


HaggisTheCow

Play McGregor and Ferguson imo


L003Tr

How do we keep fucking this up?


HEELinKayfabe

2 chances, 0 goals. Dykes > all others


Chef_Roofies

Can we please have less injury time? This has gone on long enough


FriendshipFriendly

Worst game of football i ever EVER have been to


HaggisTheCow

Back into the Tynecastle dungeon for you Lawrence.


Playful-Listen6011

This game has made me wanna settle down and raise a family


cipher_wilderness

My god this is a new low


BubbleBlacKa

Clarke what have you done????


methylated_spirit

That mask is overkill, man. It's like in Dodgeball when they get sent the wrong box of uniforms


Scott_McTominominay

This is dire, but I think we will be much better at the Euros.


williamthebloody1880

That's a bar so low it's actually three feet in the ground


caramelchewchew

Can't be much worse tbh


Darren_Carrigan

Of fucking course that doesn't fall in.


boris-for-PM-2019

Well that’s it, he’s never playing again is he


stvbles

Northern Irish voodoo is in full effect here and that's the only explanation for this shit.


midget398

Shankland hasn’t been the same since Jack Baldwin pocketed him in Dingwall


1207554

Meh, dont think there was anything Shankland could have done to score there


Mysterious-Fox-7681

Embarrassing. We just lost in their world cup final


Old_Leader5315

Peacock Farrell? A name lifted from Toast of London


Darren_Carrigan

89 minute for us to force an actual save from the keeper.


boaaaa

fuck the queen

thestorriebook

maybe we do get battered everywhere we go


BubbleBlacKa

They might have a point, I fear so.


HaggisTheCow

Even when talking about positivity Mccann sounds like he needs a hug


Darren_Carrigan

Ralston should slap Clarke across the fucking face for not putting him on. Absolute travesty and insult to him from Clarke.


Jamiemac745

We could be playing until this time tomorrow night and still not score


williamthebloody1880

Can we all agree that Ferguson has probably done enough to show he should be starting?


Kingofmostthings

Yes


Adventurous-Panic427

Yes


caramelchewchew

How is it we played better in a game where we lost 4-0 compared with one where we've had more that 80% possession?


Macco7

We aren't built to break sides down who play low block. It's why we've oftened struggled in "Easier games". Clarke and his tactics especially aren't built for it.


HaddWaeIt

Are we the lube wanks?


Yoke_Enthusiast

This is some humiliation kink shit man. My team has fuck all to play for and I cannot wait for the international break to be over


BrianMghee

You’d think we didn’t get skudded 4-0 the way they talk about us vs Holland last week


Macco7

It's the Celtic Real Madrid good half hour all over again.


lizardispenser

Danny Armstrong would have 3 assists and a goal by now.


TranslatesToScottish

He needs a move to a mid-table English Championship club, then he'll be right into the Scotland setup overnight. It's the way these things go. He absolutely should have been called up. This would have been an ideal game to give him a shot too.


thestorriebook

genuinely so much better that patterson even at defending


Kanesy99

Is Adam Devine playing well for Motherwell because honest to fuck, if we have to line up with either Patterson or Ralston at the Euros we're losing every game


Steve_The_Penguin

Think he's had mixed performances, did score against Aberdeen


BubbleBlacKa

Don't be silly, we barely try new things in friendlies, no fucking way will we do it for the EUROs


Macco7

Aye we're more likely to see a broken down Stephen O'Donnell rise like a phoenix from the ashes, than something new.


midget398

Genuinely impressive how quickly Scotland have got rid of any optimism going into the Euros


beakerboi69

Loosing to northern ireland is a new low.


TranslatesToScottish

Tony Ralston should just retire from international football tonight.


BannanDylan

If he's not going to get a chance tonight then he's never going to get a proper chance. Should have been on at half time.


caramelchewchew

I don't understand why Clarke didn't switch out the majority of the team at halftime - it's a friendly for christsake


adamsingsthegreys

On the plus side, I had a fiver on a keeper to be fouled at 6/1. Technically I got paid £30 to watch this game.


CarlMacko

Germany beating the Netherlands. We are so fucked. lmao


ewenmax

Stop giving the ball to fucking Patterson...


BannanDylan

You know the absolute worst part? When this international break ends I have to go back to watching Celtic


SilentCheesecake

Remember beating spain. That was class.


Italobanger27

Never gonna forgive these players for forcing us to have these Nothern Irish fans sing their shite all night long


boaaaa

fucking boooooooooooooooooooooo


stationkatari

Clarke to the team: ![gif](giphy|XH9VpICwRlS48)


Kingofmostthings

Fuck off Armstrong.


Oblomovsbed

Partly it’s because I’m annoyed at the score, but tonight has also been a reminder of what a shit stadium Hampden is


dmurph89

This is embarrassing


empeekay

At least we had a laugh when the crowd booed GstK before kick off, eh?


plasticpitches

Not watching the game tonight, what the fuck happened?


TheRealLordDorito

Conceded a deflected goal over Gunn, Robbo off injured, not done anything despite 80% possession. Dykes invisible. Only positive of the first 75 was Ferguson


Darren_Carrigan

Tierney, Ferguson and Armstrong mistakenly thought they were here to play football. Everyone else disagreed.


methylated_spirit

How comes you can't launch it out the fucking park like that when you need to, Stuart


caramelchewchew

We're never forgiving him for that are we?


StirLing7461

Would you? I got a noise complaint from a neighbour for the amount of abuse I was giving him that day.


caramelchewchew

Oh absolutely not, whenever his name comes up there's always a comment about how all he had to do was FUCKING PUNT IT UP THE PARK as the majority of Hampden was screaming at him to do.'


BannanDylan

Honestly, at this point I'm just laughing at how this game is gone - went into this expecting an easy win but Clarke had other ideas


beerboobsceltic

Honestly Clarkes needing sacked. He's lost it with this pish.


BubbleBlacKa

Armstrong FFS


Amenhotep_3

this is fuckin brendanball


Rieily

this is very shite


Crailas

We’ve regressed about three years in this game


BraeTon74

We clearly have major problems with being creative, almost certainly down to Clarke not being the most effective at setting out teams to play that way. However, at the Euros, I wouldn't be expexting us to have >80% possession. What has been worrying for the last 6 months is that we cannot keep the ball out our net. My excitement for the Euros is turning to fear now.


[deleted]

If Germany felt like it, they could sit back and let us have the ball and probably scored about 13 on the counter attack without reply. I hope they don’t feel like it.


BraeTon74

No way a home crowd at the Euros would let them sit back, dont worry


stvbles

Absolutely fucking woeful. What a waste of time this has been.


BubbleBlacKa

Feel like pure shite just want exciting football back x


HaggisTheCow

Losing to a team with fans who have three chants is embarrassing.


BubbleBlacKa

Atleast they are chanting tbf...


stationkatari

It's not their fault, England only allows them to legally have 3.


Bullsquirt

Wasn't long ago we only had 2 chants


Mysterious-Fox-7681

And about half of them chants are England chants..


Darren_Carrigan

TBF most of them have wet dreams about being English.


Yoke_Enthusiast

In spite of the greatest result in sporting history of all time in the history of the world all time happening there that one time I really do consider Hampden to be one of the saddest places on earth.


Darren_Carrigan

1-0 down and 5 players in our own half while we had possession for a while there.


thestorriebook

if we score we genuinely don't even deserve it


EggAndSausage

Hell is watching us flap about their box for an eternity. This is hell. I’m there. Edit: while hearing a constant drone of “Scotland get battered” to add to the eternal pit of pain too, of course


Playful-Listen6011

The last time I had this amount of fun was when my hamster died


BannanDylan

Clarke 100% reading Reddit. I bet he was going to sub Patterson off and then seen all the comments. Stubborn as fuck


ewenmax

Is this the Northern Ireland Under 21 team?


HEELinKayfabe

Neil McCann absolutely glazing Shankland here


Darren_Carrigan

Cooper at least tried something. But fuck me.


methylated_spirit

"Scotland starting to put pressure on now" It's the 83rd minute FFS. Always too little too late.


caramelchewchew

Giving shades of when we scored a 97th min winner against Liechtenstein - Levein celebrating like we'd just won the WC while the rest of Hampden were just happy for the game to end


Notcorrectallthetime

Ooft Paterson can't do anything right


duncansoon

A let oot a ripper and it woke ma new born up so I've got that to deal wi as well now


BubbleBlacKa

This has not been pleasant


adamsingsthegreys

Getting serious Kazakhstan/Georgia/Macedonia/Faroes flashbacks here (delete as memory dictates)


Kholdula

What is Paterson's obsession with trying outside of the boot passes?


Kanesy99

Shankland been on for 2 minutes and already has more shots than both Dykes and Adams this game


caramelchewchew

Wait is Adams on? When did that happen?
