I'm your host Ronnie Charters on the opposite side of the veranda, Callum Bell Hello, your veranda is much nicer than mine As on the start on the I mean what do you call him? The w and only you in Cameron in a Denty Glasgow studio because he's too much of a sightbag to come out to America. You and Camon, everybody. How are you? Hello, Ronnie, Hello, Callum. I would also concur with Callum Bell that your veranda is a lot nicer than where Callum is. and you've got that lovely that hanging basket behind your flowers Yeah It's just it's also just framed nicely, you know, I'm going to tell it And I will say that the updck studio that we use actually looks lovely. I'm only winding up. Thank you for joining us. table of recording. it's the morning after the night before a disisappointing one nil defeat to Morocco leaves our qualification hopes hanging in the balance as we head to the sunshine state of Florida to take on Brazil on Wednesday night before we get to the football you in I suppose that is our farewell to Boston the last day of what's been Eight days of absolute madness Madmth ill nonetheless These Tatan army fans will never forget Boston the last season, we were joined by Cat Harvey for the previous podcast. She said the type of a l by the way Yes. every video. I' not interview in Rob Dougl ce day Do you know what I would say Ron and Callum, you know what I would say the Tartan Army have done more for Scotland than any government official has ever done for Scotland and the United States of America. And I think that there'll be so many Americans that are going to travel to Scotland and boost our economy like never before in the history of tourism between the United States and Scotland I think the Tartan Army have been sensational and they've been a brilliant advert for our country. The only problem is when the people from Boston turn up to Scotland they're going to expect us to all be running around in Kiltson Scotland talon playing bagpipes You funny say that, Ronnie interviewed TV royalty and Dundy United's most famous fan, Laurian Kelly yesterday for the news at S for STV, which was so mad yesterday, but such good fun. And what was it actually she said to you Ronnie that in nine months time, there's going to be lots of little Scottish American kids running around. put the talk arrmy of right, Laurie I did also so we put on the social media channel right and one of the comments were A tired old Scottish TV queen at Lorene Kellley What is this? I mean honestly, it's savage. No, but it's briiant. I don't also like You just don't know what you're going to wake up to most days. I mean, we were sitting the other day all expected to go on a big boat party And then the governor of Massachusetts. pestic citing Hagis off as being legal And half the country think it's real. There's butchers doinges, cartwheels in the streets lockery thinking that they're going to give millions a quid back because Donald Trump's going to let haagis isn't the country. And we're running about mental to to speak to Americans about haagis Emont It has been a brilliant World Cup. for the Tartan Army and for Scotland. I think it's been superb and the Tartan Army have turned up, they've paid their money and they've paid a lot of money, but they've done us proud unlike our Scotland national team They've done us proud school. I mean, they've been super. The were not done But the f the fans have turned up. let's be honest, guys, you're there. you're in amongst it. The fans have turned up and they've done us proud, haven't they We the spe go the airport union, who basically said He was on his way home He got to the effirort and decided. He got out the taxi Pump Rin for one last look at Boston Anywere now I'm staying I just got tax her back out of the t and book N new flates in the hotel. That's tomatin. Okay, that's part of that O part I don't know probably, but so it's sure you that It's the fe that messing out So them. You can act an now Can I ask you both? Are you going to be sad to leave my dad? I think it's quite funny. He spent, my inheritance to come here And he's had a blast. The night we had the day before the game on Thursday night, like everyone I go to football games with colleagues like Ronnie, you know, your podcast divorce partner, Stephen Mill, Gordon Duncan from Super Scoreboards there, Kallam Lesly from the Radio and Breakf S showow. All of us on one night out. Jane Lewis from theBC Lu Shanley from Skylike, everyone that we spend all our time with one mad night out and my dad's there getting self' all of them. The only thing I will say is all that money spent toward Scotland Ls one Nilton Morocco, but you don't summarize it like that. It's not quite like that. No No. arere you going to be sad to leave Boston Absolutely It's honestly been Germany was probablyll right because Germany was just Germ it's the footballing nation of Germany during the Eururos. And I think See, to be honest with you see all the stories you're hearing from America before this tournament started It' been the opposite. It has been the funnest time the Americans have loved is, by the way The American wait us and waits uses that the Tatan army are given when they're h off cut by the way, because they don't realize what Siden onn these receipts? because you need to add the tab layer I it'sree money. saw a guy gave a lastie fifty quips and I pa it again. sounds like me, you need ha it back have him get my haach? Oh to Christ. It's been blowing, honestly.' as Caleum says there was a night the night before the game where it seems like every single scot just flocked to basically what would beer suuckey Hall Street there Union Street. and it's just littered with the outdoor bars and that's what say. Everyone was there and it was just, you're looking at England, you know what see sometimes life is actually allright. And then they starts a g Can I just say that referee was pash. He wasn't very good for both teams. I'll be I might add he was so bad. I don't know how he's got to the World Cup. Now, if we're deemed not to be good enough to go to a World Cup, how was he deemed good enough I know on and. get a disaster. too not all I went up to to see my dad in the stands at halfime. So we were sat in like a commentary position, which we didn't get last time, We had to kind of sneak a seat for the Hiti game. So went up to see him he was just up to my right And as soon as I got there, all the Scotland fans were talking about where this was this referee and how much of an absolute disaster it was. My dad was liid. He was raging because I just think that was before the McTom Money w one, I'm sure and the McGgan oneon. That was at half time. And then obviously, we'll get to those decisions. But just very quickly, before we get to the game, I have to mention, I sent you the video you and Ronnie, you've seen it too. I was down at South Station where the fans leave Boston to go to the Gillette Stadium, Boston Stadium. and a woman stops me and goes, how you becausecause I was filming for news She s She went, you and Cameron, I hate him. I'm from Alaska and I love your podcast. So I filmed her telling you and that you're an absolute prick and see moments like that. That's what warms my heart. That's what warms my cockles. That's what Ill miss about Booston. People calling me a prick. It's great I Listen, I play that role well because I have an opinion unlike most in the Scottish football media and some people like it, some people don't. And what I would say is I am absolutely delighted that we've got somebody listening to us in Alaska. That's superb. Alaska. Oh it's just Alaska We get we get a guy from the Bahamas A guys from Toronto There was a woman a man. she suddenly had to get a forotty wee pf and support us Club slag last night has been mental genuinely And I just I don't know I don't know what Miami will bring right It might be amazing. We're down by South Beach, Miami. It ss bent The vote parties and Beach part is gala that a vote I don't think it'll be Boston. No. I don't think it'll be Boston.. Just the way the city has embraced it. We We went to an Iron Brew challenge where there were handic cans of Iron Brew and Americans were trying it for the first time, genuinely hundreds of Aic of Americans standed up to this thing L roal cp Yeah, we Giovanni the podcastter And of Europe' they ped it Cans after Cans Dy and Bw and see the faces these Americans trying this stranging We spotted one woman we went in and spoke to her because of her face honestly She could I'm going see what I'm gonna see there. But basically she was like, I wouldn't even wash my car with this. I was actually m drinking is h did not b I it's just been be tinyy things like that you and' just like, what is going on? genuinely what's going on And unfortunately the football has let down. The football has laid down. We've been one of the worstams the World Cup. I was watching ITV's coverage last night and when you look at the stats, we're one of the worst teams at this World Cup Yeah But ye w a game and seemams havely Oh I know, but then get a little bit one. Let's get to the game. I actually thought for the first ten seconds we started no bad I talk to him and sayays they've I generally tou him when they've not touched the boy yet. B Oh Too bad for the guy that wentit at the toilet and says, no, I'll miss the first couple of seconds. it's fine him One nell to the Moroccans after fifty four was seventy four, seventy eight minutes, whatever it was S seconds. And seconds econd sorry, of course, s. And I don't care. I mean I'm not one for individualizing people and whatnot. but In seventy four seconds, you track the runner, you don't try and play off side, got it handley I think it was a As Steve Clart said, the worst possible start Yeah, it was it was an awful start but also think and I text you boys when the lineup came out that Steve Clark is going for a one nil defeat here with his lineup. The back five and a flat midfield for and she Adams up top on his own. There was no outball. there was no pace in that team. We didn't get anywhere near the Moroccans in that first half and they should have been three or four nil up at halfime. I thought Angus Gunn made a couple of really good st. He's been solid for us. I think he's been really, really good. I know there's a lot of talk before the the World Cup, shouldh it be Gordon or should it be Gun Well Steve Clark actually got something right and guns done extremely well for Scotland in these two games I just thought that we were poor, really, really poor and we didn't really turn up until the final ten minutes when Scott McTomey was pushed further forward and that's where he should be. That's where he is he's at his best when he's winapoles. He's a Balandor nominee because he scores goals, he's a threat and he played in a flat midfield four and he never touched the boy. He was never in the game. None of our players in midfield were in the game. Buade who I was raving about in the previous podcast, the eighteen year old ran the show. Ferguson, I thought was outstanding. I thought you Scotland's best player next to Jack Kendry's between Henry and Ferguson. These two players and the two games for Scotland have been outstanding. These two can come out with their head held high. as for the rest, I think we've been very, very average Did we watch the same game Yeah, we definitely did. And I was I was watching them ITV's coverage last night and Nanj Posta Cckl, you should listen to what he said about us. Every time spoke I thought, o my god, I'd love him to be in charge of Scotland. He would get the best out of this squad. We've got such a great squad of players, yet we go in with a pragmatic negative approach when our players are better than that. Do you know hold on? hold on, hold on. Do you, no wait't Cell, wait, wait, here's stat, here's a stat for you right. Do You know that Haiti have had more shots on goal against Brazil than we've had in two games at this World Cup But they've got zero points and we've got three. I don't really care about the shots on goal. I care about how many points you've got. I think we watched a different game un because for me, right first half, unforgivable. I completely agree. We were dreadful and it was really frustrating to watch Ronnie and I then went a halftime made a position right behind the goal pitch side that Scotland were shooting into And I thought we controlled the second half, mayaybe not for the first five minutes, but from for fifty minutes onwards, I thought Scotland were absolutely the better team. I think he got his changes bang on, mayaybe didn't get a starting lineup, right? I think again John McGinn was a wee bit anonymous apart from that penalty shout, which we will get to. I I think he watched a completely different game. I thought Scotland were really good and very unlucky in the second half You do know that Morocco hit the bar and Gun made two good saves in the second half. Bono and the Morocco go made no saves in the game. We had no shots on target. We have not one shot on target and you think we can control the game Yeah, but I think with two penalty shouts that I think ninety percent of people watching the game who have a neutral point of view think that they're both penalties And see that's the problem, Calum. See when we're sat here with the squad of players that we've got We've got Luis Ferguson and Sirriia. you've got M Tomy and Sirria. You you've got John McGinn who' just won a European trophy. You've got Ferguson of as I just said Bon, you've got Terino Say Adams. We've got some really good plers G Andy Robbins when Champions League Preier Leagues,et we' sat. ragmat. You know that John Mconain made not one tackle in that game last night. Do you know that he only made fourteen passes the entire eighty minutes he was on the pitch? And in the eighty minutes he was on the pitch, Kenny McClean come on made more passes and made more tackles in ten minutes than Joh McGain made in eighty minutes. You got She Adams who made seven passes in the entire game before he was hooked for Lyondon Dykes You're saying we controlled the game in that second half. You were watching a different game from the rest of us. It's anti football and we're better than what we showed last night and what we showed against Haiti when we were celebrating like we beat Brazil How was that Steve Clark' fault that Jo MGin Shey Adams playederrily It was the way werere set up. We didn't get near of them. you know, there was no tackles made in midfield. There was no tackles made in midfield. As I just told the team Mcan made no tackles No one tack and eighty minutes of football, we made no tackles in that midfield. When you go through the stats of our players and the tackles that were made, I just told you, Kenny McClean in ten minutes made more tackles in the majority of our midfielders Can Ronnie, you can jump in here because I' sick of arguing with him he's doing a headad already. I know I thought I was frozen there for sa U Yeahah, I'm in two ms, whether I think Steve Park was overly cautious O You have to respect to an extent How good a team Moroco are Obviously, we don't know the answer to this youan If we went more for it arere we sitting here potentially f nal down? Lking looking at going out I don't know I mean, There was no outball. I think you're right. I think I don' think She Adams can lead the line by himself. I just don't think he can. I think the difference when Lyndon Dides came on was genuinely night and day. I think You're right adults, we've not For how good he was in the qualifying campaign, I think my Tommy will probably look at himself and go after probably be a bit more impact over here Being Garon Dolke, I think that was the big surprise, I think. in terms of changes. I only made three I think people were looking at Ben Ganandope in the Haiti game and going, there was an outball There were a game you could run thirty yards up the field, get everyone up I thought that's what probably we needed in the first half against Marocco. Again, I'm going to say it Guy like Billy Gilmore is just it's crying out for someeday to just pinpoint, pick a pass and cut through the fences. We just just we just don't have that color and state in the and final spill, which is mad when you think I know it's different completely different. We were coming into this World Cup scoring goals. I know that there was a completely different opposition and whatnot. I just I don't know whether at this point I'm happy that we only get beat one now or I'm f we could have got a point there. We could have got a point in there because if we threw up and another it, but I would be cautious because I I don't know if Morocco really got out of set gear No, there that't That's what Posta Cklu said last night. They didn't get a second gear last night. They played within themselves. They did what they needed to do to get the three points. They're guaranteed to be Haiti as well. I thought again this is just me as a Scotland fan and I've watched Scotland for over the decades. I think this is one of the best squad of players that we've had in a long, long time. I wouldd love to seeen a Walter Smith have this squad or a Gordon Strachen or a Craig Browny have this squad because I think we've got some brilliant players in there and they've all for me underperformed the two Euros previously and they come into this World Cup and every single player in particular Steve Clarkke says you're going to see a different Scotland. We've learned our lessons from the previous two Euros. We haven't We're still playing pragmatically. We're still sitting up defensively. We're sitting off teams. We've got no outball, we've got no pace We look like we're never going to score a goal in the monthly Sundays. As I just said to you, Haiti in one game against Brazil last night, had more shots on target than we've had in two World Cup games That's unforgivable for the squad of players that we've got That is unforivable. and I'm not blaming the players here. That's the way Steve Clark sets us up How can Haiti, the eighty fourth ranked team in the world and the second lowest ranked team in this tournament turn up against Brazil and have more shots on gold than we've had in two games in this World Cup. It's unforgivable, Ronny. and that's down to Steve Clark I don't think it' Steve Clark's fault that Grant Hanley Disney trrack are run on sidefot in seventy four seconds. That's just madness I'm just tal setting Ronnie Ronny it's, No, I get that. I get that, but you need to look at the whole picture and Steve Cark going to say the pictures thing, right He set he set this up and if Gant Her doesn't do that We could be w that we a decent result here and qualified I don't want to be too critical because we nearly got there And Tomyy was when he did that you' right when it I think you showed one moment of brilliance When he turned when he was inside the box in the left hand side after the crowd thought it was in, it took a reflection when it was getting down and go from the left hand side. I thought nearly. L was we chances, we have chances But then you're right. I mean, Scotland fans were cheering for a corner happen like one You know, I think my frustration with Steve Clark is he is a pragmatic manager. That's his style and Posta Coglli was saying last night, Scotland's players are better than this. and he's right. And Ronny, you know Posa Coglli better than me being a Celtic fan But I've just got this feeling if we had a forward thinking approach with this squad of players, if we had ped a cooglot in that dugout We had a better team than what Steve Clark makes us out makes us look to be. I think Steve Clarkke's approach is holding us back and I've always said that and nothing has changed in this World Cup to the previous two Euros. And yes, I think we will qualify out of this group. We ain't going to get anything from Brazil, but we're going to get through through the skin of our teeth because we've got a better goal difference and some other shite that's in this world Cup. and we're going to get in the last thirty two is going to be hailed as the greatest achievement ever We don't deserve that achievement. We don't deserve your mind cannot dangous You're driving me mental not sorry for beating hard enough T for beating you en We're getting rewards right for now. We're getting we're just wait wa wit you' this is a manag already for taking us be three tournaments. He's taken us to three tournaments and you're telling you're telling me that he's holding Scotland back. He's literally made them do something that we've not seen in a generation. You you've got the balance completely wrong here. I understand you've got your I hates Steve Clark narrative, right You do all the time and it's getting very tiresome now. At what point do you blame the players? At what point do you actually Jo you' Mcomot done y time done. You do man man are who aren't playing to the standard that we expect them to meet. You've said yourself, we've got players in Sera, we've got players who play for preremiership clubs who've won the Champions League, who' won the English Premier League. They haven't performed. You can't blame all of that on Steve Clark. Yes, he's to blame tiny bit or you know a portion, some blame to him Come on meate violence here.

You're out there with the Scotland team, right And before a ball was kicked at this World Cup Every single player that you Callum and Ronnie interviewed and every interview that you did with Steve Clark They talked about how they didn't they turn up at the two previous major tournaments. You're telling me they've now turned up I didn't see that I said that' uportion the blade. Let me finish Yafani. I'm saying if you're going to apportion blame It can't just be all on Steve Clark The players haven't performed Yes, Deve Clark can be a portion some blame, but your whole MO of it's entirely his fault It's all on him. He's holding the players back. No, no, no players haven't been goodough That's that's a fact too Ronnie, please take it away so him and I can stop arguing them For a second time asough, we have been dealt a referee that I just thought, wow and The She Adams one I think it's probably because I think it's as in the Scottish Premiionship the amount of dog sauce The good old dog souls bike, ladies and gentlemen that we've been given even within their own half is that we look at that she Adam pool down one on one and think that's a phone wall red card in Scotland. But it just shows you how far away we are from f of referees to SFBA referees Be the whole press box jump up? We were good mental Caram onon right it's the bounce of the ball if it was along the ground, but he couldn't do what he explain that one Y, we're speaking to Gordon Duncan after the game. and you know, he's best palals as a willillie call. And I think the explanation is that the show in theew really show. If the ball had been passed on the ground and you could see exactly where the ball was going to end up and and it been taken down, that's a red card Because the ball's in the air, it's harder to jge where it' where it's going to land if Shadams going to get there So that's why I wasn't upgradade to Rd Yeah and I think it was decision. I think Ronnie, Calum, you support Celtic, you support Dundy United. I support Hearts. If that was against your team, you wouldn you wouldn' you wouldn't expect a red card because it's not a red card. I think the yellow card was the correct decision. So and I think Ronie is right. I think we've got ourselves. I think we've got ourselves into a situation here in Scotland withith a dog saw that is it's causing more problems than it needs to. and we've kind of backed ourselves into a corner with it See if he can to the red cardo, you and his var going overona. Probably not I saw in I saw on the edge I think it was aation, isn't it Rony John McGginn's once. We had that pitch side reporter pitch side digital spot next to the goes It's where all the cameras are and everyone's starting to take dedigital shots. I'm sure I ruined everyone's deduital shot of that. because that was st That's that bing lie? We were supposed to do that. P said I don't only catch it bya I just thought no one's been to convinceced me otherwise. I just think that's apparently. I think the contact that. I know not all contacts apparently in XY sZ Mcens buy them He's done well to get by him and he's taken down I thought the McTomney one was more a penalty and as I said ones last night. I nearly broke my ankle last night jumping up and screaming at a telly because I thought McTomey was a penalty. I genuinely thought it was a penalty. I still think There's a penalty there. I think it's more than Then Mcgan, I think Mcgan kind of runs and he's hit And John McGinn has a bit of a reputation in an English Premier League of being a bit of a dive where he goes down a bit easy and he wins some brilliant free kicks with minimal contact. He's one of the best at it and I love him for it it's a strength of his. but I just wonder whether his reputation went before him with that one, but McTominy for me, I thought that was a stonewaller. honestly. I genuinely and I still think it's a penalty I mean, I guess I would ask for for the Jo Mgin one If Grant Hanley had done that to Brahim Diaz, would you be terrified thinking that was going be given apparently? I would? I think Var would give it. the Momy w one you and you sent the slow more to us after the game. Yeah, I can I can't believe it. I'm still speechless and perplexed that wasn't a penalty. I can't understand why VarRr haven't asked them to go to the screen and overturn it I think they've been very strict this year when it comes to their Vard decisions and Vard getting involved in decisions And I don't think it's a bad thing However, when there's something as clear cut as that, then you start to question it I think that the referees have allowed the game to flow massively I' good I'll be honest with you I think it's been good because I think you're right. I don't think there's any there's not been any major hess on the through. There was some questionable ones a bit on off side in the game Ellie those, but I've enjoyed it that you know what just because you fall over the gin when you're shooting the ball You a growown man doesn't mean you got a free check every time. And I think they're beginning to get wise to it. know there's no massive protests anyere they go down and they go, Oh I'm no getting this well they' run away. you better go and start moving again. Clarark said afterward we ask Clarark about the penalties and whatnot. and he said the same. He said, listen, they're all veryverifiedine marins. If every one of them is given the other way around, he doesn't think Var intervenes It's just your luck, wh you' if he thinks they get it because it's kind of on the line. Most of them. So he wasn't as raging as I thought he probably would have been time I think he was more just for strapid that didn't get that goal in the end But as youane said that looking at the probability now of going through The O toat still say we' around seventy percent chance of making it Yes And I think and look, see at the end of the day, we all want to get into the knockout stages. How we are doing it isn't sitting well with me, which is why I'm very critical because I just feel we've got such a good squad of players. we should be better than we are And I think as Steve Clark set up last night lose one nil at worst, at worst because the last thing that he wants and that we want is to be sent home because we didn't score enough goals against Haiti. So he set up against what I think are the best team in the group. I think they're better than Brazil. and they were in second gear last night. they werere happy just to take the one nill What happens against Brazil, I think you'll set up something similar And then you have to look at it. We've gone into this World Cup. We've stunk the place out. if what happens against Brazil We expect then we stunk the W Cup into the group stages. I saw messages from Mark Nelson and others Tartan Army who were out there who are very critical this morning about how we stuk this place out and we've just not turned up again for a major tournament. But we're going to go into the last thirty two I hoving probably had very few shots on go Very little in the way of excitement And we've got there with a one no win against Haiti It doesn't it doesn't feel exciting, you know what I mean I hate you I do no, Carm. I do get I do get his point to an extent, right. I do I in my mind I seen us qualifying through the group and a really good Scottish stale But what I'll see you in a Although I agree that If it wasn't for the expansion of forty eight to thirty two, only so many teams leaving. We wouldn't make it sit because we're not going to be the top two the good But there's got to be teams that get I can p They shouldn't have be There's going to be a couple of sharks there and Wh I would see as right I'm quite selfish in the since I All I care about right now because I love them so much is the fans, right? Dave we, as you say stag the place out get through And the Tatanami have one mail week of the best week of life, I'll take that. I will Yeah, I hear you. If you got one more week of'll show in the world And you know what Be whooever we get right now we're supposed to take on Sweden There's a possibility of plague Mexico, possibility of Japan See if we get one of them I don't know always have a chance looking through it Yeah lesson I would love for us to be sitting here. the Tartan army waking up this morning already through G to Miami for a big beach party. Now we're going to Brazil going I think we need to be slightly cautious. We kind of go it go for the win and get pumped forull now because then we're we're in we're in danger Yeah, no no, ag, aged What I would say about is that We want to get to the knockout stages And we want to to compete. I just feel as if we haven't that we've gone there with that intention of thinking I win against Hait is enough. It would appear watching that game last night that was a mindset. We've got our win. let's not get hammered by this brilliant team and they are a brilliant side. and I think that is the way that Steve Clark has approached it and seeen aool light of day. if we get to last thirty two, we get a Germany or a Sweden or a Mexico and then we turn up and we give it a go and we go out all guns blazing or we qualify for the last sixteen then Everything has happened in the group stage will be forgotten Yeah, because I would say we would didn't expect. We played a team here and as of today, we'reocore sixth in the men's World rankings for FIFA, right? And we kept a clean sheet against them and I know what you're going to say after this for ninety five minutes And it's so frustrating, donon't get me wrong. I'm really frustrated that we lost a goal in this se eight, fourth second, whatever it was We kept a clean sheet against the sixth best team in the world for ninety five minutes And I guess I take your point. the style would be'd be nicer if we were playing better football,' be nicer if we were getting shots on target. I know that. I would have loved that more. My mates sw him in the stadium One of them lives out here, my school palish and five of them, four of them came out. onene was be boy And they were just like, I sort toeler a go And I want to have a chance. want to like have that moment a weekend, you know, Oh, one of those and they didn't even get that and that's frustrating. but To keep a clean sheet against the sixth best team in the world for ninety five minutes is no bad But as Ronnie pointed out, they were definitely much in second and third gear. What I would say when I've watched quite a bit of this World Cup Canada have turned up, they've been outstanding. The United States have surprised everybody. theirir football is electric. They're battering teams and they're playing great stuff. There's a lot of good football being played. There's great goals being scored and we're not part of that. And that's again, part of my frustration is that we haven't turned up like other teams or lesser nations who have turned up and given it a go. Now I know that is you qualify? What I will say the point I was going to make is we've got Fox over here a fantastic way of doing things in terms of broadcasting and football. I'm getting a wayave that peaid off with the whole nation that was the The wholeost nations talk, right? Because They're all in one. Lar it old Gevin Great draw. There's no end with Brazil's Morocco Plain catos and the planing Agwise in this world And'd right it enough you can only be with in front of you I kind I don't think you could be compared to them. Yeah no wrong about but they're dealing with the cats or s where we struggled. Yes we've got to win against Haiti. we all celebrate and it was a brilliant start to World Cup even though we were poor in the game, particularly in that second half, But they're dealing with those teams where we struggled against Haiti. That's the point that I'm making here. And listen as I said, if we get to the last thirty two and we play well in the last thirty two and we give it a right good go. what's happened the group stages will be forgotten. A bit like let's be honest, we weren't great in qualifying for this World Cup Belarus, we were lucky to get a scraped to two one one at home against them. We struggled away at Denmark. We had four magical moments against Denmark at Hon, but the performance wasn't great, but you forget that because you've qualified for the World Cup And that's my point. Let's hope at some point that we do turn up and we give the tartan now we've spent thousands of pounds to be there's something to cheer about. Yes, we had something to cheer about against Haiti, but we had very little to cheer about last night. And let hope let's hope for a better performance against Brazil I Toppped the grip in qualify, but we were rubbish G good point I mean, kind of if you thought we were sensational on that group when we beat Belarus two one, then I'm delighted for you because you're clearly looking it through eyes that nobody else is watching the games Tinted specks mate. Yeah, no, I just think if you're going to win your your World Cup qualifying group beat Denmark, you bere to be Belarus to the top spot I don't can they argue that they were rubbish. That'd be my point. But listen if you want to lookve at negatively you know I'm you want to negativelyers Yeah That's all moment.'m trying I'm trying to enjoy the World Cup I'm trying to have a good L like what we do the foootball podcast, when we talk about teams and we talk about they were lucky to get through. they didn't play well, but the result is all that matters. That's the point I'm making here Why you're seeing it differently when we discuss similar things about Dundee United, Harts, Hibbs, Aberdeen, Rangers, Celtic, they weren't really great, but they got the result. That's what we were. We've not been great, but we've got the result and it basically glosses over the overall performance. But you want to see it as in we' Brazil of nineteen seventy. We' Brazil of nineteen eighty two because we topped the group You're looking through Yes said. Yes, you are. Y said. You've got wor not You're not watching the football. You're clearly not seeing what everyone else is seeing. You need to go on to social media and see what the Tartan Army are saying about the performance last night because you, my friend I've woke up clearly watching a different game from the rest of us Yes, I'm the one in the wrong.'re right you're right. I just talking absolute nonsense and the guy' try to enjoy scoting the World Cup but I'm the bad guy. We all are We all are might to be better. You should try it That canum try it. What's wrong with that Cum? We want to be better than what we've shown so far. We've got players that are better than that. That's all we're saying I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree with that with rbition qualifying T to act as if it's been a disaster, it's not. We have three points. And if we don't get battered by Brazil, we do something we've never done. But God, it seems like we're bottom of the group, no points and players about to go home I use I It's tr Ronny, Ronny, Ronny, you're like the referee here. Is's it role that I want you see my team be better Let's absolutely no I get that. liston great. I get both the points to the extent. I you know you and I do I want I wanted us to be better than these foster gs I wanted us to be hated by a couple of gold. and spotless campaign off from the best portable fastter. We had fans leaving the Boston Stadium that night defl to But I will say the way We had fans leaving the Boston Stium Marins allco go We we't only we've picked them up the whole way in the last twenty five half an hour We were the ones dominate next So the n Stress fallen just yet They're somewhere in the middle of used to where I think the majority of the Tatan army are They are sort of maybe just edging into Ewan's hf thinking, come on We' only get one possibly one game left Leave all out therets that they're not All as negative as that Some of them are going Yeah, if we qualify a group and get another weekend this Who knows what can happen? And I see I g Wunning World Cup games can be tough So why don't we all just be friends? okay? Because I'm getting people, he's shouting for the another side of his verandah and I'm getting M Americans look not good with thell then on over here. I want more to Dg got a fight because he started shouting a bit s tirered attemed spectacles? No T. podcast. ACV videos. You'll love it Right. So we're going to start wrapping up here folks because we've got another the podcast in a couple of days just before the Miami game. in terms of logistical stuff, we fly out to Miami this evening. before Scotland head back to Charlotte for a couple of days for the training camp and then we all descend once again on the sunshine stage What's the latest for you Not in much mate, to be honest with you. I'ving like I mean, you coming to Mami. Oh nice honestly. I'm going to tell you about my kids and my wife and what we're getting up to I will ask great if you' ever for a tea tonight I get the feeling The listeners and the viewers of this are going to really side with me this podcast. I don't know why I've just got a feeling that I'm going to commit it that this looking quite good compared to you two. Yeah, I think you will. I think you will Miami Genuinely I the sun don't shine. People are desperate to know if you are coming to Miami. We have genuinely been stopped by everyone I know. I keep getting messages talking about if I'm coming to Miami or not I have looked out flights that leave on the Tuesday morning and I'd be in Miami on the Tuesday night So I'm going we'll see. I'm going have a wee conversation or two today, but we'll see Wh to just do it Come on I would need to top and tail with one of you. Mate, you can come That's fine with me.

Oh fantastic. So when you flly to Miami tonight? tonight And very quickly what I will say is last night at that game standing pitch side next to Bono, the keeper, not the guy from You two and Ronniey's to my right hand side and we're watching the second half ten yards from the from the goal Genuinely one of the greatest experiences of my life in terms of football to stand pitchide, watching Scotland come out, seeing the National Llandth and watching us play in that second half. I got to see my dad ofvious my schoolmates emotional and incredible. And you and I cannot stress enough. It's once in a lifetime stuff If that helps convince you, please come out here becauseuse I can't wait for people in Miami dressed and Kilt's calling you a brick in the street. That's what I'm here for. May I get up and do socy Hol Street every night Be that's it. it be once in a lifestime because twenty, thirty four is four years away. this squad's aging And then in twenty thirty four it's Saudi Arabia, so there's s to m get out of that.
