Scotland were pretty battered by Slovenia on Tuesday.

A wide open defence and insipid forward play led to the 2-1 outcome. But we looked decent at times in Slovenia and North Macedonia.

Back to the drawing board.

A turgid display of football at Hampden. A 2-1 defeat means we are pretty certain to be pot 3 for the Euros draw. But more alarmingly than the result, the positivity from some of the previous displays under Pocognoli has b... more

If only we could finish chances!

Scotland were excellent in North Macedonia but our lack of a clinical touch left the result at 2-0.

Bowie impressed, Binks and Welsh brilliant, Gilmour influential, Gannon-Doak promising, Robbo reaches 100... let's ... more

Jack Hendry's early red card pretty much ruined any chance of excitement or learning about Sebastian Pocognoli's style as Switzerland swatted us aside 3-0.

  • Steve Clarke apologists

    These guys all seemingly want jobs (or have jobs) in the "official" football media so almost everything they say is highly bland and not worth listening to.

  • Really informative podcast

    Living in the USA I don’t her to see many of the Scotland players playing for their clubs so it’s always good to hear how they are doing with their clubs and who the guys think will be on the plane, on the field etc

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A deeper dive on Sebastian Pocognoli with Belgian football expert Scott Coyne
Q: So I'd like to learn a lot about Sebastian Pocognoli and what you can bring the national team and how we can benefit from this appointment.
Scott explains Pocognoli's rapid rise, his front-footed, adaptable coaching style, and how Scotland could benefit from bravery, creativity, and a more open-minded squad selection, backed by a strong support network and a long-term development plan.
Opposition insight: Morocco's talent, style and pressure for success with African football writer Ali Howorth
Q: What makes Ali confident about Morocco's development under the new coach?
Ali points to Wahbi's youth-focused approach, the strong under-20 generation, and the robust training infrastructure that supports long-term growth, suggesting that the team will be stronger in future World Cups.
Opposition insight: Haiti's journey, players and hopes with sports journalist Onz Chery
Q: What has the new coach Sebastien Meignier changed to help Haiti reach the World Cup?
The coach has attracted players from top leagues, emphasized a simple, disciplined style, and started to implement a system that leverages the strengths of diaspora players, helping Haiti raise overall performance and cohesion.
Opposition insight: Haiti's journey, players and hopes with sports journalist Onz Chery
Q: So what's the football, would you call it football or soccer in Haiti?
Football is the term used in Haiti, and the sport is celebrated as a national passion, with players often coming from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which enriches Haiti's football identity.
Qualities, context and clamour: The strikers available to Steve Clarke and their differences
Q: Looking at Haiti, Calum, how much of a conversation do you feel is necessary on who starts or is it Lauren Shankland, provided that we can pretty much 99% guarantee he'll be in the squad?
I think Shankland should start against Haiti given form and role, with the discussion expanding to other profiles for different opponents, and considering squad balance and substitutions to maximize a two- to three-game window.
