@Love_street86 There's a mitigating factor. That no seems to talk about trusty has clearly jumped into his arm pushing it up there. Possible foul v trusty?

Sky sports pundits have influenced people’s (Gary linekar etc…) point of view with their constant same view replay and Kris Boyd’s comments. Slow motions like this and photos no doubt from other angles,that will probably come out today, show it clearly hits his hand=penalty.

@ScottishFA Its a good start. Now get them playing with smaller balls,on smaller pitches and smaller goals

Club Academy Scotland ran the largest bio-banding festival in youth football last month. Bio-banding sees late maturers play against younger players that are a closer physical match, while early maturing players are matched with older players. ➡️ scotfa.co/BioBanding

Hi there, is there any chance of a link to veo for game v balloan u18 cheers stduthusfc.co.uk/article.php?id…

@offtheballbbc Tam,re b teams. You get through Scottish youth football on physicality not ability.by the time u21 comes that physical advantage is gone hence the current results

What, to you, are the unofficial rules around booing? 🤔 Bonus points if you can tell us, if you were at the match tonight, were you booing?🗣

@Improving_Scot I agree with the 16,got to bin the 4 games no need for splits best leagues in Europe don't have.lets go crazy and imagine o.f get dream move to epl do think broadcasters would demand 4 games it's a lame lazy excuse and is killing our game

And before you say it, this is NOT too complicated. It would add drama and excitement – and would keep the 4 x Celtic v Rangers matches that broadcasters want.

How could we make a 16-team Premiership work? ❌ The answer is NOT to just play each other twice Answers in the thread... 🧵

@MyGolfSpy Stop all the chit chat with caddies Ban aim point ban club covers While their walking to the ball an official with a rangefinder gets yardage leaves it on sign beside ball no more then 2 mins per shot timeout option for balls in rough etc

I won't bullshit y'all. There should be stricter pace of play standards. (I'd love for someone to argue this one 👀) I’m not sure if you’ve been to, well, any elite amateur or professional golf tournament in the past few years... But, golf has a pace of play crisis on its hands. Rounds are routinely taking beyond five hours, and we’re not talking about some foursome of 20-handicappers stuck in the woods all day—we’re talking about some of the best players in the world. Ultimately, I think golf will need to change its standards. Not too far off from when baseball instilled a "pitch clock." There are “recommendations” in the rulebook to describe how fast the game should be played but they are way too vague. Rule 5.6b states: “It is recommended that the player make the stroke in no more than 40 seconds after they are (or should be) able to play without interference or distraction, and the player should usually be able to play more quickly than that and is encouraged to do so.” The rule goes on to state that a local committee can determine penalties for not adhering to pace of play standards. Sure..but that is almost never enforced at any level. How many players are cognizant of how much time they are taking? It’s an afterthought. There is less than one pace of play penalty per year on the PGA Tour. You hear of it happening occasionally at lower levels, but it clearly isn’t affecting overall pace. Playing the game within a reasonable time is a skill, just like it’s a skill in any other sport. If Patrick Mahomes didn’t have a play clock, football would get a lot easier. And golf needs to get faster for a variety of reasons—entertainment as a TV product being among them. Here's my proposal. Rule Change: Rather than a recommendation, time is a legitimate rule. Every player gets 40 seconds to play their shot upon reaching their ball and/or being expected to hit. Rules officials, like state troopers handing out speeding tickets, have the ability to dock a player a one-stroke penalty at any time in the round if the players doesn’t hit within 40 seconds. Groups that fall behind pace get timed for every shot until they are back in position. Common sense exceptions can be made based on the rules official’s discretion. I think this sets a standard that everyone needs to play in a reasonable amount of time. It would be great to have actual shot clocks in place but logistically it’s not feasible to have that available for all groups across all levels of play. This change makes it known that all players risk getting docked a stroke. Thoughts? 💬

@johnwalker_1986 Just about every team in Scotland does this. The product of all your coaches doing the same courses

Ross County - Kick Offs v Rangers "Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results." You don't need to play football a certain way, or try be like Barcelona, that's fine but this just seemed absolutely mental to keep giving it straight back on the off chance you win a Freekick/Throw-In near our goal.

@SPFLWatch Quite simply the academies are not producing good enough players because their focusing on the wrong things. Academy system should be scrapped. Something like 1% make it from the academy any other job with that rate of success would have an enquiry

Just for some context Minutes for Scotland U21 Players so far (All Comps. excluding League Cup Groups) Killie - 666 (Wales & Watson) Motherwell- 606 (Miller & Wilson) Dundee Utd - 176 (Thomson) Ross County- 162 (Denholm) Hibs - 150 (Rudi) St Mirren -95 (Taylor & Sutherland) Dundee - 90 (Graham) St Johnstone - 24 (Kirk) Celtic - 0 Aberdeen - 0 Rangers - 0 Hearts - 0

@pieandbov That is true and has been for years. It doesn't help matters when you bang on about shit o.f games being a great advert for Scottish football just cos it was 3 3 ,the standard of our game has been waning for years and is nowhere near worth the fee

Seeing a steady creep in ticket pricing this season, across the whole division, but £33 for a Premiership game is seriously beginning to take the piss.

@GazzaD86 Why would you expect anything different from an organisation failing at every level. Re coaching badges who wants validation from a failing organisation

@MarkRidgers All the best Mark, always appreciate you turning up for the thistle colts end of season awards

⚽️🧤

@EdgarBlamm I agree completely and reading the replies,what I find amazing is that so many normal people can see the all the problems yet the syfa are utterly clueless

Anyone whose kids play football in Scotland knows talent isn’t the problem. There are kids out there with unbelievable skill (including the natural ability to create and score goals) from Fun Fours to 11-a-side. Something is clearly wrong with whatever happens next.

@euanstirling Your absolutely correct

@euanstirling @declan_19 @ScotlandNT Please behave mate,he's a bang average footballer playing in a pub league he's 27 ,why isn't playing for a better club at a higher level there's a reason he isn't trusted to start

FULL TIME: Scotland 0-1 Hungary. The referee brings the match to an end in Stuttgart following the away side's late goal. #EURO2024

@GeraldMcGrain Yeah why has he played in Scotland for so long 3 goals for Scotland v Cyprus ? In how many caps constant in all your euro humpings but hey as long he beats theym across the city bang average player in the worst era of Scottish football ever. Ps I'm no a hun

The most DECORATED FOOTBALLER IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL for many a year, & our national manager wouldn't play him ???? FCUKING SHOCKING #HH

@chris_sutton73 Yeah cos forrests record in euro and International football is ace eh. Stayed at a the"big" club in Scotland all his life but ohhhhh look at all his medals

Gutted for Scotland. However I’m not sure why Steve Clarke didn’t use James Forrest when the team struggled to create chances all tournament. Looking at the Armstrong pen claim, Armstrong more interested in trying to get the defender to bundle into him than trying to shoot…

@GaryLegg11 In the Finland friendly he said nows a good time to be facing German. Everything that's wrong with Scottish football terrifies me he might be giving coaching courses

Is Neil McCann the Scottish version of Aluko 🎈

@GraemeMcDowall Well as you've pointed out before most of our players got through our youth systems based on physicality so many of our players look so uncomfortable with the ball. Ralston 7 years in celtic academy, go figure

Blood and guts or as Robertson said ‘back to being aggressive and on the front foot’ - essentially reduced the game to a battle in the hope that our physicality might win through.

@offtheballbbc Positive porteous suspended for next game. I hope you get ripped into all those numpties (neil mccann) who said this is a Good time to play Germany

@Improving_Scot I've been asking this question for about 20 years, why are our professional footballers so far behind other nations professional footballers. Can only be down to our youth talent identification and development

I expected a bit of a thrashing tonight. But I thought Clarke might have had a half-decent game plan to at least allow us a shot on goal.
