I now have an official and unofficially sourced Home jersey. Here are the side my side comparisons. My expensive one is XXL....and fits....my XXXL cheap doesn't fit me. That is immediately apparent, as is the shade of yellow on the collar and the quality of the patch. Yyou can see a few variations, they appear about the same weight, and the materials feel the same with the exception of the webbed portion at the lower back half because the official one is see through, but to the eye they look the same. The other thing you will notice is the brightness of the patterned motif - you can see the unofficial one is not as bright, and the shape of the yellow piece under the arm pits is different. Now I will say if I was wearing my unofficial one, the only thing that would give it away is the patch I firmly believe everything else would go unnoticed .

With a potential 26 man squad, and some key players out injured, we all expect the squad full of the best players available. Questions will be asked, and rightfully so when scrutinizing the big decisions. That, for me anyway wouldn't go as far as calling for his sack without thoughtful critique. I do expect Clarke to have a long think about his job post tournament, I hope we do well and its an easy decision to stay and for the majority of fans to want to keep him.

Like many things these days, actions were taken in singularity, but the broader implications were not considered. If we make a decision for nation X, we have set a precedent that we must do it for all others.

There's a thread on thus topic over on the euro24 board

Gauld, Morgan, Turnbull, Doak (if playing) all y'all need to make a statement in the next month with your playing and social media that you can answer your nations call.

I completely agree. I was saving for a new bigger TV to enjoy with the tournament but since our recent results and now the injuries my optimism has gone right out the window. I dont want to suffer embarrassment and have buyers remorse. Lets correct that unfortunate typo on BIGGER

If I had to pick my squad today, with injuries/fitness and form as it is ...here is my squad. GK - Gunn, Gordon, Clarke DF - Robbo, Tierney, Porteous, Hickey, McKenna, Henry, Hanley, Doig, McCrorie MF - Gilmour, McGregor, McTominay, McGinn, Christie, Armstrong, Fraser, McLean FWD - Shankland, Adams, Dykes If I can bring 26 - Gauld, Morgan, Conway Not going to make it - Ferguson, Paterson I think both miss out. I won't bring Taylor, who IMO hasn't let us down, but I am investing in Doig for the future. For my Right backs - I considered Ashby, McCrorie, Ralston and Cadden but I went with form and as I expect to be able to bring 26 I chose McCrorie he has a working relationship with Conway. Ralston isn't getting much game time. Fraser comes in with experience, hopefully a wiser head and for his form. Hanley I am brining him, with the expectation his fitness improves in the next two months. Gauld and Morgan have good form, and I am needing some different options from the beach as I think teams might have figured us out.

We may go that route if we end up depleted in midfield. IMO we have to field an 11 to the resources available, if we have all our best on the park, we run the danger of tiring. Losing Ferguson is a massive blow as we trust he can do a good job and could even of started a match. I understand this contradicts being able to field our best 11, but we have to spend our chips to get the best out of the three matches and if a best 11 is all we have and then it's a massive drop off, changing formation allows to rest some players by playing two up front is something worth considering. McGregor hasn't been great this season, and hopefully he can get into his best shape. I expect Armstrong to be a useful player who gets surprisingly more minutes that we expect this summer.

He'll need to be fit to fill in at right wing back.

I just checked on the score. I saw Paterson on at 45 and off at 90 and thought only two things, neither good..either he was terrible or he got injured. We may be playing Tierney at right back again

Rumours are its a torn ACL for Ferguson. That could be 8 months before he is back playing which would end his 2024 and affect not only his EURO's but any potential summer transfers as well.

I think this AI needs to stick in at school.

Im watching Man Utd v Bournemouth and Christie is everywhere. Im shocked honestly Clarke didn't switch him and McTominay around in our last matches.

Goal and an Assist for John Mcginn v Lille and only 56 minutes gone, time for more.

Who would YOU bring?
