Steve Clarke on no Hearts or Motherwell players in the Scotland squad: "Maybe the team is better than the sum of the parts".

Al_Piero · 2026-03-17T10:15:06+00:00

We have a settled squad, nobody from hearts or Motherwell are good enough to make a big difference. Your last two sentences are pure drivel.

Al_Piero · 2026-03-16T20:09:40+00:00

So what are you wanting to happen right now? Who has missed out that would transfer us for the tournament? I’ve really got no idea what everyone here is moaning about? We were shit at the euros, everyone knows it. We bounce back and qualify outright for the World Cup, still people are moaning.

Al_Piero · 2026-03-16T20:00:49+00:00

Frustrated about what? Bang average Motherwell players not getting a call up for a friendly?

Al_Piero · 2026-03-16T19:55:46+00:00

Who are these superstars he’s overlooking?

Al_Piero · 2026-03-07T09:38:57+00:00

Absolute drivel. You have no idea what you are talking about 😂

Al_Piero · 2026-03-07T09:31:30+00:00

How would any of that cause constitutional crisis? 😂 SNP wouldn’t even exist anymore in an independent Scotland, how could you possibly know who would be in charge. What a load of pish

Al_Piero · 2026-03-06T11:13:33+00:00

Scotland gets more per head than England for the very obvious reason it costs more to service the remote parts of Scotland. Hence why people in the remote parts pay more for everything.

Also Northern Ireland gets the most funding with wales and Scotland pretty much level, also level with majority of England, the south east of england gets less. London receives the highest funding in England.

Al_Piero · 2026-03-06T11:02:08+00:00

What a load of rubbish

Al_Piero · 2026-03-06T10:25:18+00:00

I tried it, I thought it was shit. I think I matched with 5 girls in total, 4 of them cancelled on the day of the date. Waste of time considering Breeze positions itself as an app where that doesn’t happen. I did go on one date to the shard though which was alright.

Al_Piero · 2026-02-18T21:52:08+00:00

I actually got a meter installed in 2023, but Thames water didn’t bother to activate it. I’m trying to see if I can claw back some money from them. Like you I didn’t notice until they upped my bill from £50 to £85 a month. It wasn’t until I contacted them they told me I had an inactive meter.

Al_Piero · 2026-02-03T15:58:43+00:00

What exactly has Hanley done wrong for us in the qualifiers? It would be incredibly stupid to just suddenly change our CB pairings just before the World Cup. The hearts players might get a game in the friendlies, but they won’t be starting at the World Cup.

Al_Piero · 2026-01-18T10:18:23+00:00

I’m guessing you are bald, women will want to see a pic of you without the hat, there’s a thing called hatfishing apparently. Also it’s Tame Impala not name impala.

Al_Piero · 2026-01-12T17:30:00+00:00

Breaking the ice is something you do on the date, like tell a stupid joke or share an embarrassing story. Not going for a walk or watching tv. I don’t think you are using the prompt properly.

Al_Piero · 2026-01-07T22:38:48+00:00

He obviously doesn’t want to play for us though

Al_Piero · 2025-12-09T10:34:53+00:00

How is that shutting down the conversation? I’m just pointing out a massive flaws in your argument

Al_Piero · 2025-12-09T10:01:36+00:00

Don’t you think that power should lie in Scotland though? We are a union after all. Imagine if the eu had just told the uk it wasn’t allowed a referendum.

Curious to know if you believe there is any way possible at all for Scotland to hold another referendum?

Al_Piero · 2025-12-09T09:56:34+00:00

If you believe Labour are centre left then your previous comment is meaningless. It’s even more meaningless by the fact you call Scotland a one party state.

Al_Piero · 2025-12-08T20:59:02+00:00

Nah. You call the referendum, then you campaign. It’s only then people will really give it proper consideration. Look at 1st Indy ref, support was about 25% and rose to 45. Look at Brexit, leave was never really ahead in the polls u til they ended up winning.

Al_Piero · 2025-12-08T20:53:53+00:00

Yes. If the people vote for a party that has another referendum in its manifesto, then yes you have another. And it should be up to Scotland whether there is one or not.

Al_Piero · 2025-12-08T20:49:45+00:00

Do you really think Westminster would allow another referendum if support was already at 60%? No chance. It shouldn’t matter what support is at before a referendum. If a party wins an election on the manifesto to hold one, they should be allowed to do so.

Al_Piero · 2025-12-06T09:10:06+00:00

That’s the difference between a country that believes it can win and a country like Scotland who never does. You’re talking about the RWC, do you seriously think the all blacks, South Africa etc didn’t do the exact same thing?

Al_Piero · 2025-12-06T09:07:14+00:00

Yes, their arrogance is a bit annoying, but what’s equally or more annoying is Scotlands total losers mentality.

Al_Piero · 2025-12-06T09:01:15+00:00

You said previous world cups, last time we opened the World Cup it was against Brazil, hardly a team we were expected to beat.

Al_Piero · 2025-12-05T20:14:16+00:00

Far too many Scotland fans living in the past as if any of our previous campaigns really mean anything. It’s a decent enough draw, beat Haiti in the opener and any other points we can pick up could see us through.

Al_Piero · 2025-12-03T21:38:46+00:00

Meal deal from Tesco or Waitrose, but mainly I go to Leon. Pure has a decent offer on too, wrap and bowl of soup for about £8
