Scotland supporters cannot get Bevvy at the Fitba.
But tonight Hampden was filled with angry.
The Tartan army announced their feelings known after this sobering Nations League relegation play-off defeat against Greece.
Steve Clarke said only a few weeks ago that he was 75 percent, certainly that he would leave if Scotland -when his contract was finished.
If there is more when the qualifications of the World Cup start, there will be no debate about it.
If his team was great in Athens, they were God's conscious in Glasgow to turn out to be one of their worst versions during his six years.
Clarke fell on the touchline after it was all over and looked deserted because of the defeat and the reaction on it.
But he has had enough praise during his term of office.
The abuse he received from the ful-up is just something that he has to accept.
The gamblers expected that, so much better to go this decision-maker with a 1-0 lead and yet the team did what they did in the last two major tournaments.
They didn't show up.
And just like in Germany in the summer, Clarke has to take responsibility for another terrible representation in a game that mattered.
This was not the Germans, Spain or Croatia – this was Greece who tore our team apart.
Say it this way, before the kick-off there was a beautiful tifo for the late, large Denis law that died in January.
But if heaven has a TV screen, the law -man would have been forgiven because he reached for the remote control.
Let's do well, Greece was worth it.
Their white experienced boss, Ivan Jovanovic, played an absolute blinder.
In Athens last Thursday evening he had his side crossed after he entered the Scotland Penalty box.
And Scotland succeeded.
Center-backs Grant Hanley and John Souttar placed brilliantly that night and got their heads on everything that came on their side.
This time Greece played. Boy, they played.
Their 17-year-old Wonder-Kid Konstantinos Karetsas looked the role when he stepped on the couch in the first legs.
It was no surprise that he started this decision maker and got the ball on every occasion.
The high press of the Greek by foot was also brave and daring.
Karetsas was on the right and always ready to jump and it was the same with Giannis Konstantelias on the left.
Those were the two who scored the two goals of the first half to take the visitors on their way to victory.
The first, after 20 minutes, was a considerable finish of Konstantelias after he was a cutback along Craig Gordon.
The second, four minutes before the break, was simply sensational from small teen caretsas.
His One-Touch, Left Foot Curling Shot did not give the Scotland NO1 a lot.
Clarke's side had moments at 0-0.
Scott McTominay was the biggest threat of Scotland, with John McGinn brought the best stop from goalkeeper Kostas Tzolakis.
Che Adams also had a half -hearted scream for a penalty, but the Italian referee would never give it/
But unfortunately something was missing in the performance of the men in dark blue.
The effort was there.
Gilmour also saw a lot of the ball and tried to dictate the game from the Anchorman role.
But it was only decent.
Clarke only made one change in his line-up that started in Athens with Ryan Christie who came in for Lewis Ferguson.
But the Bournemouth midfielder did not bring his excellent club form to Hampden.
He was a ball to the second goal of Greece and the man who played a terrible square pass that led to the third.
The start of the second half only 17 seconds, it was a disastrous restart for Scotland.
Konstantelias did brilliant to make the best of it by sliding into the smartest of small inverted passes to Spits Christos Tzolis.
He then checked his finish along Gordon.
But it was terrible stuff from Scotland's point of view.
Why Clarke had not made any staff changes during the break was a complete mystery that borders on a breach of duty.
His team shouted to be changed, but for whatever reason, he chose to send the same men back.
It was only after 54 minutes that he made a triple change.
But even Clarke thought there was also confused.
Kenny McLean and Adams were logical, but Gilmour did not earn the hook.
It was a decision that was boosted by the Tartan army with the Pelenmaker of Napoli clearly unhappy while he shook his head while he shattered from the park and sat down on the couch.
It was not a reflection of the three who came up – George Hirst, Kieran Tierney and Ferguson – who all added freshness.
But Gilmour and the supporters had the right to get irritated.
While the clock tapped further, it was clear because Day Scotland would not get the goals that were needed to turn it around.
After 72 minutes, Clarke made two more changes with Christie and skipper Andy Robertson replaced by Tommy Conway and young James Wilson for his debut.
The fans were happier with those decisions, but nothing really changed.
Greece held their shape beautifully and did the hard transplant that was needed to protect their lead.
And after a late, late Tierney opportunity, the last whistle brought more hunters from the Fed-up fans who had left the stadium with thousands already in the pub.
