@tylerbw1108 @VamosDundee Care to name that decent side and the manager?

@VamosDundee whole 11 + steve clarke sent off so we can finally field a decent side

Scotland tactical walk off gimmick when it’s 5-0 to Brazil #goaldifference

@VamosDundee I like your thinking

@arabchic @ScotlandNT Given their recent email shambles it may be a consistent means of communication though I do share your view

@ScotlandNT I’ll join that the day before we fly out as otherwise my phone battery will go flat very quick with all the messages about hats, merch, trains and beer chat. It’s getting close though 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎

@MiguelDelaney And?

If you thought last night was good…

@JohnBrewin_ Did he not say it?

It’s barely worth saying but the level of codswallop on here is off the scale. Post-truth social.

@premier_shirts @g4ryw4lker @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup @adidas @nikefootball I got the same reply in JD Sports last week

@g4ryw4lker @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup @adidas @nikefootball I don’t think these will be available to spellers. Qualifiers weren’t, and when I asked I was told they “might be” but my follow up a few weeks later went unanswered. So might be adidas and Nike shops only

Has anyone heard when the World Cup sleeve patches will be announced or released? I’m surprised it’s nearly May and there’s still been no news - just wondering if I’ve missed anything.

@Ajaxjambo @scotball_ Sad but true. Not a Jambo but I agree with your comment. This statto approach is extended pub chat with icing on it.

@scotball_ The Captain of the team top of league gets dragged weekly Scored tying goal to get Scotland to WC26. Goals per minute? Give over - A Scottish POTY nomination and still he gets no respect.

@Eccconomics @DavidHenigUK I think you are getting a bit carried away there. I go to see Spartans and QOS and there’s not a lot of fanaticism. A very wet day at Kelty Hearts quickly washes it away.

@DavidHenigUK Dare I say it but the lower levels of the English game are starting to catch up with the fanaticism in Scotland that you see all the way down their leagues. There is even something stirring in Wales I reckon.

Something happening in non-league football in the often-forgotten about places of the country. Around 100,000 watched games in the National League and its two regional divisions on Saturday (tier 5 and 6). Games in the Level 7 Northern Premier League averaged 1,500 spectators

Today I am doing the Glasgow @thekiltwalk in aid of @TASA1999 to raise money to help children in need everywhere @ScotlandNT play a game. Please give what you can and also RT 🙏❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 justgiving.com/fundraising/cl…

@DivitXiles @loonyalba @TartanArmyGroup Fair enough

@loonyalba @TartanArmyGroup When you know there will be 15/20 substitutions in the game as what the reality against Japan. We you know your fan base is shelling out thousands to follow them to the USA for tickets & hotels, why not a thank you of £15 for an adult for the continued support.

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… “Our job isn't to go to America and tell them how to do their business," SFA president Mike Mulrainey told BBC Scotland. "The presumption of that is not something I'm comfortable with. "Our job is how we mitigate the costs for our fans and that's something we're working on." I wonder what he means by that last paragraph.

@tartanspecials @scotball_ Too subtle for me, if he’s selected you’ll see the tracks of my tears……

@cdr9697 @scotball_ Come on Kevin, you forgot to put in some first class train puns

The Scotland Strikers Debate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I've recently been seeing a lot of clamour for different strikers to make Scotland's World Cup squad. I've sorted a list of potential candidates ranked by league goals this season. If you had to pick just 4 from this list, who would you go for?

@CWalker87 @BomboneraTears A great read

Looking forward to reading this on holiday 🇦🇷 @BomboneraTears

@HereThere2705 @CraigGTelfer Definitely seems like it. What possesses people to think it’s any good?

@CraigGTelfer Is there a factory spewing out these bellends?

You've heard the rest, now hear the best! Listen to 𝙎𝙘𝙤𝙩𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙'𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙮 by 𝘽𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙨' 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨! This is the nation's #1 World Cup song. Is it the spiritual successor to "Ally's Tartan Army"? It's not for me to say but: yes! Give it a go 🤝

Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Andrii Melnyk: Thirty-five million Russians have no toilet at home. On the one hand, Russia demands recognition as a "great superpower," claiming the right to redraw state borders by force and impose a new sphere of influence. Yet, on the other hand, around 35 million Russian citizens still rely on outside toilets — shabby wooden huts in yards and gardens. Putin wants to convince American mediators and the broader international community that peace itself hinges on Ukraine’s voluntary surrender of the Donetsk region and that, once this demand is met, Russia will at last be happy and eternal peace will follow. Does anyone seriously believe this fairy tale? We don’t. What is the purpose of this relentless war of conquest when only about 1 percent of Russia’s vast territory is populated and developed, while the remaining 99 percent are largely neglected and, at best, partially exploited for natural resource extraction? Moreover, during his 26-year rule, Putin has effectively abandoned his population, many of whom still struggle with the most basic standards of sanitation. According to official statistical data, one-fourth of Russian households do not have access to centralized sewage systems or indoor sanitation facilities. In rural areas, the situation is even more severe: in some regions, up to two-thirds of households must rely on outdoor pit latrines. Let us imagine the scale of the absurdity we are dealing with. On the one hand, Russia demands recognition as a "great superpower," claiming the right to redraw state borders by force and impose a new sphere of influence. Yet, on the other hand, around 35 million Russian citizens still rely on outside toilets — shabby wooden huts in yards and gardens. Let me repeat: thirty-five million Russians have no toilet at home. This is roughly the population of Malaysia, Poland, or Saudi Arabia and is comparable to the population of Texas, or almost that of California. Putin wants Russia to be seen as a respected global player while living conditions for a huge part of Russia’s population remain no better than in the early Middle Ages. This is the true paradox before us: Putin seeks imperial expansion abroad while failing to secure basic human dignity at home - @MelnykAndrij

In other news today the United Kingdom has regained its position as the fifth largest economy in the world, according to the latest figures thelondoneconomic.com/news/uk-econom…

@_DIGB Surely this is the sort of thing that makes Scottish football great as we keep on being told on here?

Scottish football isn’t serious because how can a club that’s won a league not have the relevant licence in place to participate in the play-off The folk behind the scenes at the club should be fucking embarrassed

@TheTartanScarf Any chat on him lying to the management team so he could sell his story to the Sun?

Lou Macari is the latest guest on the Toe Poke podcast - sharing memories of Argentina '78, when we travelled with confidence of bringing home a medal!

@darthsaku Well that’s baws all the time then.

@cdr9697 Why ? They never won the league so no they dont the same as when Buckie also failed and Brechin never got there place

Well done brora
