In my defence, it was 25 or so years ago when I made that decision.

At the time we had Chad Pennington as QB, Curtis Martin at RB, Wayne Chrebet at WR and Herm Edwards was head coach.

In hindsight, they were almost as bad then as they are now.

Pathetic way to end that.

Clarke out.

Liam McLeod must be on commission from Steve Clarke, hammering the line that 'the performance doesn't matter'.

The performance, once again, has been stinking.

Call it what it is.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 5h

The VAR is our player of the match.

No one should be getting more than 5/10 for this performance.

Unbelievably, Scott McTominay has bailed out Steve Clarke again.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 5h

Clarke out.

He's been on borrowed time since Germany absolutely hammered us in Munich.

Thanks for getting us to those two Euros but time to hand over the reins to someone that knows how to get the best out of these players.

The way he sets us up is so timid, and never takes advantage of the quality we have.

If by some miracle we qualify, we need someone to take over who will actually set us up to attack.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 5h

Imagine how badly we will get absolutely horsed by decent teams if we actually get over the line.

We've got some of the best quality of player ever to play in dark blue, and they're set up to be so timid and conservative.

Genuinely, Argentina or France will stick double figures on us playing like this.

We're getting some luck right now.

But honestly, its scandalous how bad this team can be.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 5h

We are so fucking bad at football.

Even when we're winning, we're so bad.

Accurate.

We are AWFUL.

This is somehow simultaneously both the finest Scottish comeback ever and one for which neither Steve Clarke nor Scotland deserve any credit.

I honestly don't want us to qualify.

We play like that against Argentina or France, they'll hit double figures.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

Steve Clarke better not try to claim any kind of credit or suggest this all worked according to his plan.

We've won in spite of his terrible management and shocking tactical ineptitude.

And if we qualify and play like this against a top team, we'll get our arse handed to us again.

Which one of the 3 is this describing?

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

Okay, that was a proper Greek tragedy of a moment at the end there.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

They never played anywhere near as badly as we did tonight.

They had a plan and tactics. We've lucked into 3 goals!

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

What is going on?!

Utterly garbage, some of the worst football I've ever seen Scotland play, worse than the dark days of Berti Vogts.

And then, somehow, we're leading.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

What was the VAR looking at in those lines? Because the lines that showed up on the replay made it look like it was fairly clearly offside.

If you're Greek, you're raging at that.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

I genuinely can't decide whether I want us to win now, or to get thumped and get Clarke so far away from this side we can't remember how terrible we are at football.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

That goal is absolutely what we deserved.

Dr Malcolm Harvey @malch.bsky.social · 3d

Steve Clarke man.

Should have been out on his ear after the embarrassment he put on show in Germany.

This is woeful.

England are thumping Wales 3-0 but somehow the most garbage performance by a Home Nation tonight is the utter garbage served up by Scotland at Hampden.

Dire, dire stuff.
