Watching Steve Clarke’s Scotland is utterly depressing. Saturday can’t come quick enough.

Eli Just scores for New Zealand against Chile. Subbed after 72 mins. Currently 4-0.

I saw that just after I posted here.

They will play blocking style try to stop us passing forward, as other teams have recently, with some success and hope to take thier chances when they come. Fingers crossed the rest will have done us good. Hopefully we will be prepared to mix things up a bit and no keep tring to walk it into the net . A win will go a long way to securing 4th and still keep dreaming of 3rd.

He won our player of the month for March and sent a wee video message from the airport, by the look of it.

Hope Eli has is case packed and heading to the airport. We will need him for the run in, especially next two games with Slats out. perhaps the Slats fiasco will be a rallying call for the players amd JBA will have them well Drilled and fired up for this game. He’s had two weeks to work with JT on getting back to scoring form. If we can get back even close to our best then we should be able to secure all 3 points.

I really struggled - hard to watch . Japan are a well drilled team who have evolved significantly over recent decades . happy that we’ve become spoiled with our approach watching our beloved Well but it equally highlights where nationally we’re not progressing. Don’t get me wrong I’m delighted for Scotland to be at the World Cup and the final qualifying game was incredible but suspect we’ll spend most of the games chasing shadows . Hopefully our club approach can influence the broader game in Scotland , including national team . meanwhile really looking forward to getting back to league action - hope we have a bit of zip on our game and take all 3 pts .

I have posted the highlights in the General Football thread of this game.

Can't say I blame the lad, she looks terrifying these days.

Falkirk's run of good luck seems will continue on Saturday as they're set to benefit from the SFA's very public and historic keel hauling of Callum Slattery. We need to get right behind the team for this game. That and loudly call out any instances of "gamesmanship" from Falkirk; anything that breaches rule 77 in fact (no abuse please). Lets channel that resentment into someothing positive. Don't expect them to come to Fir Park to entertain us, if his time at Stark's Park is anything to go by. Certainly a decent manager but one who knows how to employ the dark arts.
