Not sure how I feel about him being kept on. On one hand he has got us qualifying for tournaments but on the other we have been shite once we get there. 

I understand your reservations but I doubt we could get better than Clarke and he seems to really enjoy being the international manager life style which is not to be sniffed at.

Scotland away shirt released today.

[swaddon]

That's awful.

Yeah I don’t like it. Looks like pink in shop. Shorts are purple. Definitely not the scarlet and navy blue they described. 

[OrlandoDon]

Blue home and red away, or white, why do we have to look for a rancid away top??

[RicoS321]

Was it an answer to the question "pick the two most unsuitable colours"?

Going back to the merits of Harvey Barnes for Scotland merits and debate, I have a feeling that it is all going to become a little bit irrelevant anyway.

He is in the form of his life and I wouldn't be surprised to see England call him up 

Pretty much confirmed he is never going to a World Cup finals

Fuck him, made his bed, let him lie in it

I think the new away top is supposed to echo the similar one we had in the 1980s. Only that was actually red.

For some reason, I can always picture Brian Irvine wearing that one.

The red was an excellent kit, this really isn’t it. Still, it being pink is better than being orange which is what I first thought

[Slim]

It’s a homage to this kit surely?

[swaddon]

The price of the Scotland tops is ridiculous.

I mind when £40 was considered too much for a fitba tap, now it's about double that.

Has to be but it doesn't explain why they thought it was a good idea.....

Cheers mate, came on here to ask if anyone knew where I could watch the game 

[BigAl]

Twenty five minutes in and neither Lobban or Frame look out of place on the pitch, however Czechia look by far the more likely team to score.

Scotland have created very little in the opposition half.

[BigAl]

Half of our first eleven from next season on display tonight

Dylan Lobban, Mitchel Frame, Luke Graham, David Watson & Barney Stewart 

[Jute]

Barney Stewart missed a few chances he should have taken. Czechs look a better team overall.
