But people like people were met on your side like last week when the clock hang Nice see you justb your thought on it Just fuck that in it, come on if we'll find it today. L, we'll get your h This is this a big day for us. I think we kind of gave our full opinion last. No, no, no. it's a big day for you. No, it's not It's a big day for We're on it We're really I' really looking forward seeing what your actual opinion on this is. Do we never I don't know what it was other last week Was it he vacking him or comment anyw Scott might be at the World Cup, but the packic continues at bad We'll be hosting pre match events of both semifinals and the final on the nineth of July Get our tickets to the link in the description box below I'll scan the QR code screen on now. actually that by the way He so good at him Thank ex. it is it, here doesn't it But that means a lot of thinking you think we're good at. D the two feel that he's went through a fal club or do or do he feel bad that the guys went through his joke? You go the guy to passed the ball The last of fucked old country get way used to it. Then fucking news you've got the guy who woke at his job, didid you feel bad at all? No. Noo? Jen' think you think what we said has made him I' all at Mo. but Jz D you feel that you's maybe went too far with? As in Europe' up against two of the top nations in the world, Brazil and Morocco T Sh you went too far one way? No, no does You pin against top top teams. I think the same is true If you went up againstrazil and you had a sty of playing you get be if you know then I'd be fine with. Yeah I mean, I'd be completely fine with, but we're done it Let's on the manager. They had a style of playing players weren't carrying that out or making mistakes within a style Wh day would you like to see him have Ale whichich style would you like to see? No I'm not. I' kind of tell Steve Clart to play football. I don't know what he believes in football, but I watch see summon I don't see what it is. S somethingomething that you can recognize. Yeah But how you then they qualified then they were all cu. and mad, I genuine think there was a lot of locking qualification Not this needividual Individual moments of brilliance and qualification. But again as a team performances You' and far between for me, Nah No, I agree. I agreed. should What wereere you surprised You' signed four your contract obviously before it And be surprised at the news in the time minute I think but at the same time they went really quiet, didn't they after the game when they wented tonight? There was no interview at all even f at the SFA socials of that so then you're may be going fastter a bit stranger. I know they may be waiting to see if they stay in in a tour or not, but I did think the timing special off the back beforefore you But I wonder if it's just he just looked at it. He had that tpe me reflect and went Maybe it's take me stayub Great time Yes for me. It was like at that I stand by everything I said, but I said to you in the carl if you're playing for hisign. It'd been quite easy to stay and getull years wor my money min it. But hes he's resigned because he feels potentially as well that he's tookick them as far as he can. his squad as far as can I think another manager could have done bat than him A put out the bottle cup? Yes But in what way? A you talkking over the full seven years or just knowledge at the World Cup? D prereparation, an a level performance could definitely have improved. Now whether that meant it would improved enough to take you through, who knows. You've got something grassp on in the field or've got we've got an identity we can we can progress the we' up planting here But see when you' got that level of performance how can you ever be c thick going you against any Another major tournament or like youays I h game proves that That was wor in the firstus game. And it's not even the performances, it's things that I said it's things that get said after games but will w one. It's our first one in twenty. If you ever heard Kit Verdeson or Bzin we got our first one ever I've never heard Kate Verdy Mager say that once He's not interested in that. He isn't interested in the next game in winning that. and Cn will finds the last thirty two because he knows he squad's capable of doing that All we ever there is I know but I've no one for twenty eight years Canada just qu the knockets for the first time in the l I't. Scotland C Mash is that? Scotlands was a h probably the hardest. I know, but I'm saying what's it said J what I'm seeing Jake Ste Cluts in andnd it to players We don't know that. we may just be saying that to the media almost just to keep that there. master part of the job. I want manager sayay there that I want manager see to keep it in the addirection and then they'll go in front of the media and be different. Do you might be going theren he wasn't happy that performance don't know that. Well,, S seefy, wasn't happy with the performance that they spit the action? you didn't get the reaction on the Morocco game, it's hard to get a reaction purely based on you give away a cheap goal right away That will fucking those was in the action Dbody say because I. But I I know you're okay Mle. You're asking all the questions today Well I get your opinion? No, I think I think Miss Scotland the performances did have to improve, but I'm just tellell me so you were there right when did you get excited M Scotland? I. I any in the hotel room after that. Fucking it right Ball what? Ballske it, madam. Lesty flat? Oh, no. Anyway. But like the performances were did have to improve But this this h I'm heeding the people keep comparing cacers then there's other teams actually note the World Cup So we are doing well no T bit. Creature proves that it can be done I know but what I'm saying is there is also a lot of tea population at least sixty million turkey the groups as well, like We are actually doing well and that's not to say that we're happy you put it I the way people mean, we were talkau about changing the minds of the whole country. But why compare our st to anyone? Wh people are? why you compare them torishia? Iait n of put back But you know why? Because see as a nation you're striving for that. But we have improved andate underclark getting to these tournaments now, which we've hly for twenty eight years. So I agree that it's no good enough in the tournaments, the performances, but we have not improved in tournaments, though, not in tournaments. But that's the point. Nade they ask do you hear many people as them to get psched over the first euros after they get qualified or the second euros after they qualified no Phap's been three major tournaments now' been N progression in theaj tournaments Leave them looking like getting thaters out off school going the goals in any of the games You're a hops and raise You'll look backward Steve Cut's teing on Scott to it's success, a hundred percent, but Over the course of the seven years, there's no been an improvement. it does it does deserve credit for getting us there course there's no going away for that. As much as you want to see football played in a certain way it does deserve credit for getting there but at the same time But they can't just be that's the ball setet and they don't want to be an improved. not a last. acceptance that's good like that. it just seeps through the whole country. Did you hear Maxwell's interview? Yes. Oh my go manate, I was I cann't believe he's interview with this. He's got to be ready because he'll be next getting it off everyone. but what they're doing at the top of it the top of a snake who we call it. like. What was what was it saying He saidays you can tell the reaction of the players that their dev. They won that fucking pix in front of vish squad No, half of the squad people are debating it should even be better. Do see if I was say it might' be gototty the h?'s way, I'm guaranteed in this word every time And you could I got a feeling for the players that they weren't happy the first time you see M Tommy chouting, I look really frustrated. Fustrated man. Mcgin's interview. Mcginin's interview when you start here and see that for the players in Nody's going to see when the when when they when they there winning and they're going to aor upp because they wentn't p We've all be know that's that's what you'd be like you The manager's point of say when you your point of to wee simplepl is just happy in saying Go through it But even that like TV even some theses decisions like What was the point of Ste Stehven Issmth What' Steven Nesmith's background in coaching What' he had the heart stroke Hw heart's fy for How long is your heart's fasting? eightighteen mons mayiss some to you? L he even going be a manager that But see it was your coaching manager in there? I think it would be a cl, wouldn't C him Gody Fall probably got be bit more the coachhing but dab that. Butould do you know we't got a top coac in there Does clock take most of it though? I don't know, does he? I' imagine it does I that ain't so, ye Yeah. But if you bring in Nmith, there's noule ping a lot then Sielda Heo Oh you have brop my med co in. this is a light bulb moment for every Britain though I't think Dav were Scottish. I'd love, I'd love it to be but. And what way? we're doing hia? Development using as well. undernder twentyw O'es his' by were top with Steve Clark If we were to get his Scott game we' under twenty onees Well, he's been about to this for the last fifteen years. How many touraments have they been qualified? N since nineteen ninety eight. Was it you know part of the team? nineteen ninety six or something? I not any No fucking rocket science is it s? nineteen ninetyies? Suren't is in the nineties? I in the ninet s on'es have qualified In terms of like domestically as well, getting back under twenty one rules L stuff I I hope I spark under twenty oneu, I think' come in It has to, I think. I think it actually genly has to. Iend you got this SFE He didn't have a p ac set So? That was his only job before that Painting the boy Morin is Aloa as well Be' we been only taught people in these jobs. Oh percent Okay, who would be your next guy? But this is the thing the Scotland job probably pays with the Aaldine job pays then when people have thrown out your rangech post to Cagos and I ain't going to take that because ultimately it pays the same as what A danger And they can of break that They won't.'s just it's no really I think that they SFO do. What les a standout candidate then don't it Well here's my gun for me Thank you The only one that I can really think of is realistic. Well, you might realistic art Yeah I chance some ways N change. Why is that they can only pay a certain amount? How come other countries can go and get top managers Washington obviously in American I don't know the details, I just know that it does pay the same as what the Aberdteen job would pay I which does which does limit I don know is well, you see will still be good money, but eveny cllars what do five hundredord a week? st be m. Andre it'd be unbelievable if you could get them inoney, just no chance, No There's chance, No chance who else should be mentioned? Moys, Mys no. Alex Neil to happy a M ofew. I I would be happy about itew. I don't know much about it seem. That was a for I always onys and aren' Neil and McGonn. you used to be happy McGon I wouldd be happy with myon Is it a possession based type coach manag at R know J just a proactive manager What What does that mean a more modern approach? more modern approach in a way of thinking to develop players and win games So who makes a decion in game of for you deal? Is it M what I makes it? W it them that made a decision in a game of for you deal How do I s? So like you said, should be looking at these guys now the decisions that they're making one hundred percent. one hundred percent to top to bottom. I say Paramid It's a huge call. It's a huge call. where they go next Because in their defense they'll go well, we've got to Eururos, we've got to W C under Ste Clut and it's hard to argue with that But the next stage is now important. canan we be? may is better than what we are. I think I think we have the players We are capable of so much more. So this is why the next decision. if they don't get that right then I think they'll be a huge question Marks with them How many players right that we know now feel like Scotland teams in the past got their opportunity by the under twenty one rule. that Lag used to have You always talk about that be about a lot you need when you first get when you first break in when you first get your debut. It's probably only being on on the bench because that underwterule underwitter one rule was in place thenen you hit your debut. I think that needs to come back Thank it Well shut them matter at homegp,oy Well, thank it will. because that the percentage are Under twenty one Scottish plays last year was so lo. Are youve worried a lack of players coming through? I. I said whoo do you look at h going ha care as besidide this is my. I don't think I genuineally don't think it's too I lack of talent. I think it' I lack of opportunity and co. I like opportunity and Iack of coaching, which is why I think if you get these mandatory rules in place that I think you'll see naturally just blll up. Do you think theres players there there? I There's always players used to getting him in the right m. So I said that you've got a twenty one year old kid that is a genuine fucking what a player he ist? he's playing the Bottam C club in Scotland. that's that's a slight under your g me. Never be played at that level of football. but will that I mean, know that rule will help, but will that change? Will these managers give them chances though? Yeah because out the CCR season when you get injuries and that and they become more comfortable and inv. This is what annoys me managersays right You use this thing ob need a bigger lead because that ges buys me a time Mon you hear Let's be honest, was never a development type manager. He had sixteen players playing in the sety first in the Martininell. How sure was massive then? That is bigger then I think than it is now And he produced sixteen Ross Wallace, Adie McGie, Dano Doney. Maloney, Baty, Kennedy, Jamie Smith These managers onn they put more pressure than what Matew was in the Eastle managers prod just sixteen plus. M. Just a copper bank And's a lot but I need to be brave in qualility as well. H it? That s team. That was one of the big teams I was Eactly. It's harder to get in to get so yeah? H harder to get in but If you had the ability to again easier were the sort of players that you had running about you, but you had to sle swim I po real prop up pros at that time who. I didn't care what anyone says, right The reason that all that happened is Tommy Burn was head of youth. Yeah. Like everyvery day it was drilled didn't you what have meant what it took to a cle play, is that still happening to the kids now? I don't know. I do agree with bothough because I do think that there's a sense of like I think every club in Scotland has The one in the will you bring through your prayers As assuming it comes there pressure on Saturday, a by game they're going to go for the experience over the under two ones. Now I'm not saying that's right, but that's what they day they've they've got the headstrong like I we want to bring through to three players to see if that rulees in place and it's mandated to do so L you're even thinking like when you're no under pressure up in the game it's ten minutes ago You'll then bring on the kid, you know what I mean? And it would then get your opportunity if it wass in this count of' probably it'd be free now. All you know why. And the eight ninth manute. Well let's go throughangers whooses rangers produc just recently? S likezo the nicest way love. Good. Love doing that. Ba is kind of comeandic. young Aid McCallan and I mean thatcess similarly handy. Last game of the season young boys are b into to snow, don't you Sic And they cut us that was that last year. Who's it's last one? Kobe Donovan's been the one that's played Even Mailes, Kobe Donoan's played a few You look a house. James Wilson cught a year ag Vs Everybodyody inute Absnorth L what hbss are renowned for it? Ib've done a couple Bically your firsts have been a play in Scotland. there's been a fool by H. D United Not he'll blame me O stoping like Sam with a couple cple but I mean like consistently who's the best friend it? Wh's Mother I'? M Her mother well over years have produced, I think Tbs cameast they got mount And Joh McG John McGlan has took players who have been at your Heartsen that and actually gave them a platform to go and play and that's why Calvin ends up at Hearts, We donean Tateates ended up at Dundy United so they've in a really good environment, show' me going And it will be rightly or wrongly some people's eyes, but that's why something would have appointed Kid Mleish you'll definitely see him playing younger boys next year, I think L Mont Now he went back to Kelly, didn't I All right, let's be a bit of positive about Steve Clarkton because he did D when he first came in we were Scotland down and they're in a much better position nowough Credible Aa I mean honestly like qualifying for the Eururoz notes' a bit easier but the World Cup wasn't they they qualify top of that group D Martin Greeseen it was a hard group talked to And it's actuallymost like You's almost feel in love with Scotland again But years you actually I just sort of feel like if you just gotten never qualified see the amount of people whoew love me Tldy love me again, the amount of kids love Scotland. That is didn't cl out getting is there. B on Kle Bom He's qu to look back suc,'t? Wh does this are? That is a success As it says, but now as the time, I think that's why it was right for me they went at this moment because it's now a time chamigical we have to. What was he? He probably did change the mentality be but didn't it in terms of Well you got to give him credit the fact and I know he gets a lot of criticism, but the fact he actually showed low, players created that resilience of in the games where we are struggling they managed to overcome thenen marking a game where if they played that one hundred times you lose it ninety nine times. it comes out moments, but they manage to stick the girle so as much as you get criticised for not bring new players into the squad. ended up being one of his biggest stres for. Kreat a good team span up because like the previous people pulled at squads leftlight in Cent,a He does deserve massive credit No, he does and like I say, you look back at his tenures, and definitely say he was one of Scotland's most suuccessful managers I see a lot of people saying that feels as if he's gave the platform for the next manager, I think it's actually a difficult task for the next manager. A you've got the expectation of getting in the rot and B I think he's had that one group up which is definitely a positive from what it is now, but is difficult for the next group You see once you've got Yandy Robertssons, J Mgins, or Gordons, or these guys that might have played their last major tournament And there's no being an opportunity for the next bunch and we don't see any coming through in domestic football Then harder for the next m onough.

Mm I think I think John Mc Tomy Dykes they'll play with Rob all but again that will continue to play I think Hanley Gordon Dykes McLean Prob better and inlake I think Robertson I'll definitely got an all Eururos. I think' Mic Ton me, we'll still get it. Yeah,' still get a decent. What's been the best games on the clock It's been that was good. Denmark And month The D Mark gimal That'll be sort of a game winner. No Iemember was called toun Well I like to go battled though, but I know just are you talking just in terms of I in? A ye, ye. Producing that result. I thought you meant like in terms of our phones Rike g's a name who you going Dould you think it' be Not who you want it to be, who'd you think He think I. Would you look overseas Mabel The ball manager? I would like Jon McGlenn I really do I think he's the right guy to take it. What's your thought on that? bit Don't he be a Scotish guy? I think should be for the eight guy. It's not for me, I just needs to be the that eight guy So would you look coverase? I would if it's the option. Why when somebody like John McLn is like standaring in the face you think he's not done enough terms of clubwise No, I think I think he has if you like the success he's had with Folkook I've say Deve Clark Ban had a good year witho Mar and then ended up the Scottland Mus that's no anyy different from what John McGunns done, and Joh McGunn actually showed you He walk over the course of three seasons leading the promotion promotion and then h it would have resulted in top se. So John McGen, I would like Jon McGlenn If if it wasn't Joh M Glenn would I wouldn't mind overseas I going to say I forgot the nations I hate Jon' going be bro Is it just John Mcann for you? I had a good job. so if not Well If you're telling me that's it's in L look overseas, but I you say, who's going come over here for? Slovenia Switzerland by Macedonia It' Slovenia Switzerland, Macedonia I said Ladzick. I that is that' a good deal, a good. it's jun for me and I actually don't know if see another candidate. Because as much as I don't think it's beyond an endo, I think you would definitely prefer a Scottish manager. Yeah, but of Scottish mind, that's Jumping Timyell on them And if he looks at it Falkk have just sold three their best players, it would be a good time for him to I open wt. I'd say so, I hate you used to still have confidence for next year but think you would take a better timing than last year when they' just got promoted and they want to have a crack ater. Yeah. I think you'd take it, high. think' you take it? Oh hundreds hold you. I'm mion percent. Right Johy Yeah. You could be an actually I think you'reready go Jon Mc Glenn scotting me and Mattel jump in a f kitten I Yeah he loves the game, then so he'd be able to go to mo games and he'd be all over And like he knows he'd go up like you say, youth team games. if he'd want to change the philosophy for thery. I think we need something that don't know Would the manager hate would the SFA allow a manager to change? No No, I wouldn't think so. Well who then decides when that will changes? becausecause obviously like you said, the try that would be Kima Horn Like he said he's justitt. I think it would be correective we definite have a seing it See if you want to get the best, it has to actually be collective bus and getting the right guys in the right places they in lead to a greater good obviously and these coach and the younger ages and sees these players coming through as well. So We all want the best players for our country. I don't think any of us are any different. Why do you think that first two managers lose a job so quickly, but then when under twenty onees manager doesn't qualify tournaments' still there I think absolutely mental but how poor Scott on Twit ons' has done for so long and he's done a job Not generally don I think it's wildild. They'll they'll flip it though they'll say they don't have Lenning and they don't have them, but that we should have a convey belt a players come through next one But then is that hisault if there's no convertility play, he's not working with their players. But she also what the bit that h goes back to Ag again, I've watched a few games as has Sottland the Titland and I've had seen that I've actually got a awayple, but actually just sit in a l block and wait to get beat. F five foold one gotot got me be in F fold one?, I't think so During the five four one last minute? Oh, that has record. it got game was recorded So bad it? And see Stevelar right by all accounts has apparently watched Tyler Fletcher and been wild doing and brought him into the squads Tler Flet's going to get infant two once. So why is see he no goingun didntcot you? Don't no been playting this boy. You don't saying much about class ten you I think guess it What would you want to say? I said at the start Wh gave me Tomy's David Manu But you put in you But I mean, like these managers' got this same mechan of plate Many news gives got me dominy ahead and amongst world class players Now he's under pressure. he puts him in. We've been Mc and McLean since Man came through. Yep Is that Dany, Dy. Coming back. Chemist com back Yeah, Chemists calling job. S that Plleay yourself. thenen he played yourself for Cay. Banny sitt in front of the back and forth of Scotland I haven't said all. But things that's just things that we've us I mean I've spoken it phages, but pen struct on pathway for younger person we talked about far want to? see on the top back, it's easy for us to sit here right and say we wanted do. What is the most important next decision then for say someone like Craig Mahan for you? You can't do everything at once, right? I think the most important thing is a better pathway for eighteen football to firsting football Now again, a lot of that is down clubs donon't me wrong in term of the finances whether it's a reserve team, it's under twenty one team do think by adding in that under twenty one rule three mandatory People useually the argument all the time bet they need to be good enough. seeee if that's in place. the clubs will make sure they're good enough.. They'll invest m in the younger players. they'll make sure that the three players they' bringing the first te eventually need to get to the label That's the first thing Ig. Why did Who made the decision to take that away because it was produced from planters? It was good you talk about Rosco, reserve football Aden, reserve football And then it just stopped all of a sudden why? And how many things we' seen it as real right? see I us like teams like Hamilton and Fal out when they were see when teams up finance are struggling, what did a day? Get rid of first think goes That's long term sustainability When does they get rid of? you setit up to sign two, threeXra firstteen place? Wh does it Madison, you know what I mean That gap between playing against, playing in reserves getting your playing against older pros Perfect, onn' it?, amazing I? What are your wor What experience now they getting a real firsting football? But the sports scientists now would be saying he can only play Get a door in. I'd get a door then as well. I genuinely get rid of him there. What a waste of fucking time Nay you train every day Couple sessions like that's what they need. You need more work no less. Oh we done thatt speak to L this Fergusont it kind of believe how hard he works in Italyim like the workload through the week compared to we' done in Scotland and we've got sports science in Scotland T boys. This should be one See did this all coming? did Jews do it? We'd done doubles every day. Every day getting better every day We'd be onil the floodlights came on we told me the Jews Every day Iike I've told our m own things that we the last boss feel heavy Take law school was at four o'clock And they would popp us to that at five to four yet to run for of the whole. I'm absolutely imped on it And every single day it fail it was a four o'clock bus we go. I remember Gn Stant we played the first time played on a Sunday, we were on the bench, never got on Monday, we played in eleven V eleven where everyone has' been playing in a mix of youth team players ninety minutes and then played reszerved game on Tuesday And then you r again Wednesday to help the first team players again inin Now you've got sport That's Gone Strang, who's played the top level to he's forty one. He knows what it takes to fucking be that level of. Now you've got a guy that's never played fit down in your workload for the week Well then what happened ow in. How was it happened Wh? Who said Gese me guys? Theyor ate at dinner who's vingger It's matter his total madness, m But it should be guys that have done it that decide Well it never affect. I like there's definite a place for sports. I D agree we though. and what I was going to say to back up your point is I feel as if there's injuries new then there was you played back in In terms like is is intakes football went up? I and that team it probably has Ds over the course game with not that Iye ever tast so away Do like so. Well like so we're talking about M on News team I was fucking, I've never seen intense football like at me. But when we watch all clips me it? inll. I'd like to watch that you know. That's back again. I'm talking about like Mat' Neil sort of I mean there'ss in the gameess more athletic now though. Yeah know, when I'm putting them in the fucking pine I don't know I just kind of believe that it he doest the legs though, that's what they that's generally what they would say As doesn't hanging m out people like get to speak a fot onen because the world cops on as radio host on of it Itott Scottland playing football.

So we'll say how it did like set pieces last even in school much did? do you know what they've done all the time Like three or four for the short corner to w it to Magga for the short edge of a box. E corner I like I put it start. I think from a Cic point of view, it's an improvement in the staff getting somebody in that then goes through that sort of stuff because ams are teams are wning games offset,es like Met. The heart scd off from last year Rangers as well But he still need to have he still' need to have G you want to go and go in the end ofcorses. Yeah. They just love just hit my half is for? Ben God.
