  1. As I said yesterday, clarke shouldn't be judged yet. He has had 4 matches Cypruse - win Russia - loss, a tough one to take but its one match Belgium - 2 losses. Fergie in his prime, Klopp or Guardiola wouldn't beat Belgium with that Scotland team The one criticism I would have of clarke is the players just don't look up for it but Clarke deserves time to change this. Players should up for the challenge of these so better teams, surely they want to to test themselves against the best?
  2. Scottish football lacks leaders throughout, from the top of the SFA and its clubs to the players on the park. The leaders of the clubs are selfish cunts and the SFA are happy to plod along to their tune.
  3. Exatctly, the SRU have worked wonders over the last ten years to get a competitive side on the park, this along with good marketing has seen an increase in attendances and there's an excitement around the team. However there is one more significant difference between the SRU and the SFA or perhaps rugby and football. Playing international rugby is the pinnacle for scotland players, we cant see the same for the SFA and the football players. The SFA is run by the clubs for the clubs, so who's doing the infiltrating? I never thought I would say this but I would rather watch the rugby than the football nowadays. I'm no glory hunter, If I were I would be following more successful sides, all i want from any team I watch is a show of determination and fight in every game. We haven't had that from a scotland side for years and I include Strachan's good run in that.
  4. I'm more than old enough to remember those players but even they didnt have us finishing this low with so many defeats. I agree with you, Clarke deserves the chance to build for the play offs and the next qualifying campaign
  5. Exactly what I was thinking. This current side is the worst I've seen
  6. Thankfully I'm not on twitter or Facebook.
  7. I still back clarke too, hes had four matches, it's not enough to make his mark on the team. Anyone who thinks he should resign or be sacked is a fucking lunatic
  8. Is this our worst team ever? I'm with the others who say the vogts era wasnt that bad, his team competed at least. I cant remember a scotland team this bad in my lifetime.
  9. NI have well managed players who play for the shirt and have a passion for their country. Fuck knows what we have
  10. I don't think people have it in for him, maybe a few numpties. The criticism of Forrest prior to the nations league was absolutely justified as he never turned up when playing for Scotland before then. His performances in the Nations league were exceptional and deserved praise but I think its harsh to say people had it in for him. I was a vocal critic of his but not only him, not many of our players deserve to be lavished with praise of late πŸ˜‚
  11. agree with both of you Forrest has in the main been shite for scotland apart from the nations league where he turned up and had a huge hand in getting the playoff spot. One thing I would add, who ever gets picked to play upfront is on to a loss already, its a thankless task when there's nobody in midfield linking the play
  12. Good for kevin Keegan, I also read that gordon strachan did the same at Middlesbrough or maybe it was Southampton Most managers or players dont give a fuck about our respect. None of them and I'm willing to bet most on here would resign when they could get the big payout.
  13. Really? There very few managers would opt to resign instead of taking a pay out.
  14. I'm working late, I will miss most of it thankfully
  15. Well its game day, who's excited? πŸ€ͺ
  16. Once they're back up I doubt there'll be so many 3pm kick offs
  17. Who's your club team jim? Must be lower league if you get 3pm kick offs on a saturday regularly. All football is about money now. The sporting part of football is an after thought to those in charge
  18. 3 mixed doubles US open titles in a row for Jamie's murray. πŸŽΎπŸ‘πŸ». Hes the first man to do this in the open era. Andreescu beats serena William's in straight sets to win the womens singles title. Excellent stuff, after William's tantrum in the final last year, I hope she doesn't win another slam
  19. Jobs for the boys? Previous managers picked odonnell too, was that jobs for the boys?
  20. Who the hell voted for odonnell? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
