Souness and McCoist were as embarrassing as Scotland’s performance…
That was a painful watch last night. Scotland were ripped to shreds by a more efficient and effective German side. They had the better players and it showed as they schooled us throughout the entire game.
In all honesty it could have been seven or eight and the Scottish players sat back and let it happen. It was an embarrassing performance as well as a painful one.
It didn’t help that we had Ally McCoist on commentary. For as much as our eyes were hurting from watching that trudged display, our ears were getting a pounding listening to his inane drivel. How anyone can say he’s the best commentator on the air is bizarre.
Yes he’s meant to be neutral, but he showed no ounce of patriotism and spent the entire game waffling on about how good the Germans are. To the watching audience it sounded as if Ally was taking great delight in our pain.
The man is a former Scotland international for heaven’s sake. You can bet your life we wouldn’t be doing it if it were England being schooled. He does have a career to protect I suppose.
Even more embarrassing was the behaviour of his former boss Graeme Souness who was in the studio. A former Scotland captain who like Ally showed no signs of patriotism and didn’t look bothered in the slightest about the result.
In fact Irishman, the dour Roy Keane showed more emotion and disappointment than Souness.
Souness showed more emotion when he singled out our own Callum McGregor in a stinging attack in which he described him as “the Celtic captain yet again”. Why didn’t he signal out Andy Roberson who was as guilty as anyone for our performance last night as ‘the Liverpool Champions League winner’.
Well that’s because Souness is a bitter old man, courting favour with the section of Scotland that will have taken delight in Scotland losing 5-1 to Germany then will be supporting England when they play Serbia. The truth is that Souness and McCoist were as embarrassing as the players on the pitch last night.
And as for Steve Clarke’s mad tactical plan. Oh dear.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
