I hate Clarke - that's all 🤣

Tom English on Sportsound let rip yesterday. Pointed out how frantic and desperate to have his way Dallas sounded. Essentially bullied the decision through despite the doubts expressed by his assistant and even Beaton. Worth a listen. Dallas made the decision no matter what Collum says about all 3 officials being in sync. Even the presenter on the VAR Review questioned Collum's take on decisions. Not just our game. Normally Gordon Duncan just rolls over. Never challenges the nonsense that Collum spouts.. Cue no more VAR review programmes as Collum being called to account.

So we are picking players that have the odd under club u21 game and sitting on the bench for big teams lol guy is a clown. Job for the boys pick if I seen one and a slap in the face to a fair few players.

Miller's comments about being the best in the scotland squad when he first got called up didn't go down well and you have to wonder if that's now going against him.i think he was the only player to get no minutes in the last set of friendlies which was bizarre in its self,for scotland to not take a player playing in serie a to a world cup is a poor decision.

If nobody watches it, will wee willie go away? Pointless drivel that only winds up the fans even more.

Seems we have lost a member of the recruitment team to St Mirren. Gavin Miller. Not sure what he did for us but he is know head of recruitment.

Fletcher picked! A guy who has played 2 games as a sub on!! Time for Lennon to retire from International football. He aint going to play in the next 4 years in anycase! Concentrate on his club and tell SFA to do one. Theres loyality but only to Clarkes pals.

I fear Connor Barron will be who Clarke goes for. Based on nothing but who he plays for. Hopefully I'm wrong because Lennon Miller should be first in line. No faith that Clarke will do the right thing.

That’s it for me. I’ve had the luxury of being able to watch the replays time and again and under no pressure and I can’t come to a definitive conclusion. I simply can’t understand how Andrew Dallas could do that in a few seconds under pressure. It’s neither clear nor obvious and for Willie Collum to say that it is brings the process into disrepute. The games a bogey.

Lennon Miller might aswell retire from international selection the now probably won't get a fair crack while Clarke is in charge I will be shocked if he picked him. If Fletcher goes before him and a few others its nothing but a disgrace tbh.

100% 👍👍👍

I would hope so but it’s far from a foregone conclusion. Fletcher appears to have grasped the opportunity to impress this week.

Possible Scotland call up for Lennon Miller, with Billy Gilmour out injured?

Anything is possible during the summer. Reality doesn't kick in until September.

I'd love to think so.

I reckon thats a deflection tactic...change the narrative to tje unruly fans.

Bring in the right man and we'll be better next season after completion of our Phase 1 of Project Purposeful Passing.

One point that really gets my goat is context of what's happening around a player is completely ignored. For example with Nicholson, there's no aknowledgement that the Celtic player nudging him could result in him handling the ball and completely ignoring the fact that he must have in part used his head to project the ball 20 yards out the park. Similar with Longelo- because it hit his upper arm he's ok - what about the player pushing him into the position. Putting any MFC bias to the side what is clear that a) we don't have technology and b) we don't have professionals who understand the context. For me there's no question the game is much worse for VAR and needs binned.

The way we were (sobs):

The dammig remark in that Var review is Gollum saying that the two views shown were all they had to go on, thats a direct result of the Teemu VAR we use in Scotland, add that to the incompetence of the officials and we have a system not fit for purpose.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if we’re keeping VAR, then the KMI panel and Collum’s clown review show need to go. They serve no purpose other than exposing unaccountable incompetence and winding fans up even more.

I have looked at the images multiple times, video and stills, and tried to be as impartial as I can be. At the end of the games that night it didn't make any difference to what we needed to do at Easter Road after the Hibs result at Ibrox, but I can't for the life of me see how they can be so definitive with those images. Willie Collum: "for us there is clear evidence", "in our opinion this is clear" "VAR, AVAR and referee are the important people here". Andrew Dallas: "definitely hits his arm" Seems to me they are basically saying it doesn't matter that most people, other than Celtic or Hibs fans, can't say one way or another whether the ball definitely makes contact with Sam Nicholson's hand/arm it's what we think that counts. For me they are seeing, or say they are seeing, something most other people can't. Most people can't see ghosts either.👻

I dont condone violence, or threats of violence. The opposite in fact. However, its quite telling that the SFA have come out and blamed fans and the media for their "employees" feeling under threat. You cant present in such an incompetent manner and not expect criticism. The fact that a few nutters decide to behave, well, like nutters, doesnt mean we should all shut up.

The contortions Collum finds himself in trying to justify decisions would be hilarious if they werent so serious. He knows the rules fine. But the irony is, that by continuing to defend his referees in such a manner, he strips them of any remaining credibility that they have on a monthly basis. The public can all see that the Emperor has no clothes. Unfortunately the Emperor has absolutely no idea that he is standing in front of thousands naked.

Most people think that about them but the SFA is a cosy wee corrupt clique that thinks its untouchable and can do no wrong, their sense of entitlement and the "we are never wrong" attitude is unbelievable.
