I'd be asking the agent of Saracchi that lb on loan at Celtic, what he thinks of a move to Rangers, we need a lb, he's under 2m, and not a big salary, very good back up for Rommens.
16 Jul 2026 22:19:49
Beale couldn't agree anymore, mate, I'd be doing same.
I also would be looking at young Fraser at Dunfermline. He ticks a lot of boxes for me.
16 Jul 2026 19:39:39
Wondering how our delegation team are faring 🤔
16 Jul 2026 20:39:20
They never went to Norway, so I don't think they will be faring anything.
16 Jul 2026 21:36:40
I posted info, Storm, but it's not up. Apparently, they did go according to Norwegian media.
17 Jul 2026 13:05:04
So, according to Norwegian media, they did; according to Scottish media, they didn't. 😂
17 Jul 2026 14:25:12
Anno, only post what I find, or will I not bother? 🤔😤😄
16 Jul 2026 09:12:18
Genuine Question for England fans. Southgate was criticised for not being able to win when it counted and Tuchel was brought in to make the difference and be able to make the right decisions. Who will go down as better?
16 Jul 2026 11:07:20
You would need to bring in an attacking coach to make a difference, and Tommy T isn't that.
16 Jul 2026 12:06:51
Kaiser79, for me it's just that we are simply not good enough. Semi finals stage is our level. I thought that before the tournament started we would reach the semi's. Looking at our performances through the tournament, we went a round further than we probably should, as I felt Norway should have beaten us. The subs Tuchel made last night were confusing, imo.
However, that game should've ended at least 4-1, with the chances Argentina missed in the second half. As an Englishman, I may be one of the very few who does not buy into the media's hype and us having all these world class players, the proof is there for all to see over numerous tournaments.
16 Jul 2026 12:46:17
Do you think Tuchel should be sacked, Southeastbear? I've seen loads of folk wanting him replaced. I'm the same, the media hype does my head in at times, but for some reason really did fancy us to get to the final this time. Looks like we are a nearly team.
16 Jul 2026 12:53:44
Me2 I'm not sure either way. If he is sacked, who do we replace him with that can do any better? That's my question. Tuchel is no mug and is a good coach imo. We've changed manager again but retained the same squad for the most part, I know Foden, Palmer and a couple of others didn't come this time but the result has been the same and if they were there would it have been any different? I don't think it would.
16 Jul 2026 13:48:09
He blew it last night going to a 5 4 1. He then tries to rectify it by bringing on a player who hadn't kicked a ball at the World Cup in Toney. Poor decisions by the manager cost them last night. Even Kane alluded to it in his interview, saying trying to hold on to 1-0 was not good enough.
16 Jul 2026 14:06:18
His decisions did play a big part in why England lost that game, however, performances throughout the tournament never showed that we could beat any of the top teams that were still left in it. We have played better in previous tournaments, and still failed. I believe the semi's are our level at this moment in time.
16 Jul 2026 15:12:41
I am not an England fan but will give my 2 cents.
When I watch them, I just feel they are too direct. It makes them always look like they can score goals but they never seem to control games. This has been the same for decades.
The direct tactics work till they meet a team who control the game, at which point they struggle to adapt and either narrowly win or are knocked out.
I know folks blame TT, but for me that's not quite right as this is more fundamental to their style of play.
I felt he reacted to the game last night rather than changing it.
If England actually want to succeed they need someone who will change the mindset of the whole team. Possession in international game is still the biggest factor in the teams who win things imo.
They have good enough players to do this, I am just not sure they have the willpower to be patient within games and also potentially endure a rough transition period.
16 Jul 2026 15:33:53
Is the manager not responsible for their style of play. He picks the squad and team based on how he wants them to play.
16 Jul 2026 16:20:31
I get what you're saying, JFM, but if you look back years, no matter the manager they have always played a very direct style.
I think it's more fundamental because it's how most EPL teams play and not enough of them play outside England. Obviously it's because of money, but it definitely hampers them imo.
I know Pep came in and went to possession play, but even he loosened on that the last few seasons.
Like us, when you blame the manager you're going down a quick fix route and ignoring the underlying issues than span manager after manager.
Tuchel did not change the game, England's inability to control the game when they scored was the issue for me. All he did was react to what was already happening by putting players on that were more suited to the game as it was at that time.
I think he should have kept some pace on to be more of a threat on the break, but that would not have affected the actual flow of the game and that's where England always fall down. It also may have led to goals in any event as attack minded players don't have the same discipline and concentration that natural defenders do.
They can get rid of TT but unless they have someone come in and fundamentally change their style they will always be close but not quite there imo.
It would probably take a Pep or Enrique type manager to do that, someone with enough gravitas to instil the belief that it's the right way to go and not be caught up in the cycle.
16 Jul 2026 16:59:49
At the end of the day, Tommy, I don't follow England. Based on your assessment, keeping Tuchel is not the answer either, as he also didn't change the way England play and will probably stick with the system he currently plays.
I just think, by going 5 4 1, he just invited Argentina onto his goal, and they proved in earlier rounds that's a very dangerous thing to do. As it turned out it was a bad decision.
16 Jul 2026 17:34:59
Almost all of the top teams in England are stocked brim full of top quality foreign talent, who know how to control & win games.
There are very few stand out English players that are part of this, other than being squeezed in, to keep the play flowing through this group.
Because of the money sloshing around & the prevalence of these players, the EPL is regarded as a top league.
Play 6 or 7 English players over each team & you would soon witness a total collapse of the EPL.
FYI, there were 3 or 4 of that English team at the World Cup I had to look up. Not a problem with eg Argentina or Spain.
16 Jul 2026 17:56:26
Agree with many of the sentiments. Probably England aren't as good as they make out, but at the same time, Tuchel basically slagged off Southgate for being too worried about losing and then did the exact same thing. I think, on this occasion, it was the manager who let the players down for once rather than the other way round.
Can't think of many players u could say let the side down, but they were doing as he asked them, with no way out. Southgate never reacted when he needed to, but Tuchel actually made them worse from a winning position.
15 Jul 2026 08:35:36
I don't like England, not the team, because they can be a really gd watch, Kane at the top of his game is great to watch, Bellingham's been doing really well, as I said gd to watch.
Commentary and sycophantic punditry and the "coming home" mince does my nut in, I get it, they are excited and we'd probably be going overboard to, doesn't mean I have to like it.
It spoils any game they play in for me, yes I know, mute the comms, but football without it just doesn't seem right, anno daft in some eyes, but we can't help what bugs us.
Now they face Argentina, Messi et al, they could burst the bubble, Argentinians burning the UJ is disgusting, that's not about football, that's about a brief if catastrophic war that cost many lives some 50 years ago, nothing to do with football, just used to cause rancour and discourse.
Removing emotion of the past won't happen, " the hand of God" way back when evokes a sense of revenge that will spur on the English team, that and the flag burning is Tuchels teamtalk right there.
Some want an English victory, some Argentina, who u want is up to u, both are more than capable, but if its based on the past barbarics of the theatre of war then for me the game is already lost.
Let's hope it's a great game, end to end, all out attack, there are going to be some great players on both side on display, let's enjoy it for what it really is meant to be, " The Beautiful Game"
15 Jul 2026 09:06:59
Every time they get knocked out I can't help singing they're coming home, they're coming home, they're coming, England's coming home.
15 Jul 2026 09:19:19
Agree fork, JFM.
15 Jul 2026 09:24:27
I've got a £40 bet on with a work colleague that England will beat Argentina tonight. Already £50 down to him with Rangers losing the league.
15 Jul 2026 09:55:03
Sorry Me2, but I hope you go £90 down. Nothing personal against you, I will enjoy the final better if England aren't in it.
15 Jul 2026 10:07:11
Like I will enjoy it far more, if England are in the final.
Hopefully you've only lost a tenner on Sunday, Me2. 👍
15 Jul 2026 10:15:59
I agree, the media around international tournament time are unbearable. This year wasn't so bad until the last couple of rounds.
The commentary is often a hard watch/listen, especially Shearer. It's harder to listen to than Rangers TV commentary.
15 Jul 2026 10:18:28
Fork, I was away down south last week. I watched the first half of the Eng-Nor game in a hotel, and someone had set the TV to the audio description setting, and I couldn't work out how to change it.
So, the commentary was like the radio and no Shearer. It was bliss, and I plan on using it now I am back home. It is annoying for normal TV but was great for the football.
15 Jul 2026 11:22:45
Don't have a problem with your view, Mystar. We're all different.
15 Jul 2026 11:22:50
The only good thing is that I was alive last time they won, so if they did win this time I would only have to listen to their rubbish for a couple of years and not another 60.
15 Jul 2026 13:10:02
I always put the Scotland v England football rivalry down the same road as Rangers v Aberdeen. It's a very very 1 sided rivalry. Rangers biggest rivals will always be Celtic, England's biggest rivals will be the Germans and Argies. A lot of the Tartan Army and Aberdeen fans carry a rather large chip on their shoulder.
15 Jul 2026 14:07:52
I tried to post yesterday. The biggest problem I have is there is this unique thing to the other home nations regarding England.
We all pretty much have to watch English TV for every tournament and beyond. If England win, we will be bombarded with it non-stop, and it will be unavoidable.
It's a really weird situation, can you imagine the English only having access to Argentinian or German TV for the next 10 years after they win.
For that alone I hope they continue their.
15 Jul 2026 14:08:34
Awful record.
15 Jul 2026 14:21:06
Peterpan, the footballing rivalry is nothing like Aberdeen's wannabe rivalry. England and Scotland, even apart from ancient history, were football rivals since the game was invented. Only reason they don't think of us as rivals as much is because we're not very good anymore, and don't play them much. Doesn't change them being our main rivals. Always have been, always will.
15 Jul 2026 15:12:11
100% backing England tonight.
15 Jul 2026 15:07:58
Yes England are Scotlands main rivals always will be. Not Englands, totally 1 sided. They have a far more intense rivalry with argies. Not good anymore? They have never been gokd have they?
15 Jul 2026 15:56:39
1 million percent supporting England tonight. Can't stand Argentina. Not bothered if they win the full thing, though be more of a neutral vs Spain.
15 Jul 2026 22:26:19
So pleased the wonderful Argentina won. My first real exposure to the World Cup was 1978. My old man bought me a Scotland top (itchy AF) when we went out. Even after Archie G's score, I fell in love with Mario Kempes and the two lads who went to Spurs.
My bedroom walls were full of posters, plus my teeth ruined by the blue and white Argentina chews. 🤯🤯🙏. So that's where my fandom was born. Well done Argentina, magnificent, and glad 99% of the poster were in the support of Argentina. Here to another 30 years of hurt.
15 Jul 2026 22:30:59
Villa and Ardilles.
15 Jul 2026 23:31:50
Am I not the only one? But is there not a similarity between the English supporters and the Celtic supporters, and they both have great memories, most of which they were never even born for.
16 Jul 2026 00:18:12
That is a ridiculous take, Peterpan. Scotland and England are rivals in majority of things and always will be. I certainly wasn't, and only time I would want England to win is when they are playing the Republic of Ireland.
16 Jul 2026 09:20:32
At least the argies flag the were parading last night was the right colour for them. White of surrender.
17 Jul 2026 12:24:16
Warmed my cold, dark geart watching them getting leathrred again if I'm totally honest.
15 Jul 2026 08:00:32
Let's be totally honest Souttar is not the best to injury prone.
His attribute coming from Hearts was he was a good on the ball.
He's got slower and doesn't dominant his own box or chip in with any goals.
15 Jul 2026 12:44:09
I've always felt he is poor in the air, and rash diving into tackles. Just don't see us winning the league with him as a main starter.
14 Jul 2026 22:32:50
Do you think our new captain is already at the club or yet to arrive?
14 Jul 2026 22:41:05
Maybe Rommens/Shankland? Or yet to be purchased, not sure, but Shankland seems like a natural pick.
14 Jul 2026 22:58:19
Yet to arrive, I think, Gazza.
14 Jul 2026 22:58:25
Not here yet imo.
Not excited by any signings so far.
I think, to an extent, we are replacing like with like & playing a 🤞🤞 game that they hope comes good!!
14 Jul 2026 22:58:51
Reckon we'll start the season with Neil or Shankland as captain, and new captain will sign in August.
14 Jul 2026 23:44:26
The club captain will be Lewis Ferguson if he signs, Lawrence Shankland if he doesn't.
Dan Neil will be vice or 3rd.
15 Jul 2026 08:08:08
You want the Captain to be playing all the time, that rules out Shankland for me, can see him sitting on the bench in many games.
15 Jul 2026 08:50:53
I think there's a good chance it'll be Dan Neil.
15 Jul 2026 09:48:24
Lewis Ferguson, Dan Neil/Shankland.
I agree the club captain should be on the pitch as starter. Shankland will probably drop out of 11 for Europe, etc., if one up top.
15 Jul 2026 11:59:28
Beale, I agree mate.
That's why I wrote club captain.
I think Lawrence can do that job well enough to let Neil concentrate on his on pitch role.
15 Jul 2026 14:00:17
More leaders the better, Stevie, Niel is very vocal on the park, mate, I'm still wanting Lewis Ferguson as captain, don't rule this out, even after listening to them saying it's definitely not happening.
15 Jul 2026 16:01:10
Beale listening to who saying it's definitely not happening? Who said this?
I think we'll sign him in the last week of window maybe loan to buy obligation
15 Jul 2026 16:34:08
Slim Jim, Mph, and others, can't remember usernames, mate.
Just know Cavenagh wasn't him, maybe we don't sign him, Stevie, but we're definitely interested in him.
15 Jul 2026 16:50:07
Wants him even.
16 Jul 2026 01:44:54
If we don't sign him this summer, we will sign him next summer.
I think there's something in this loan to Napoli rumour.
If we can't manage him this year, he'll go on loan for a season to a bigger Italian club. Try to win Serie A, play in Champions League and then come to us next summer.
His value goes up, cause he is successful but Cole's down cause length of contract.
EUR20 m again, I'd expect.
Absolutely, we're trying to do it.
It's fate if u will. He's a Ferguson. It's his path to play for us and lead us.
