no probs, thought I'd missed a trick somewhere and there was huge price change

where on earth you find this ? They are one of my outside fancies to do alright, maybe get quarters or semis, best I could find was 7/4 to reach quarters so I'd love to know where you found 10/1 as I would be snapping that up

ye agreed, it was very disappointing when Mark Wotte left the scene, he seemed educated, and a change in direction that might help. The SFA really is like a masonic lodge in secretivity, jobs for the boys, no change bull,, and it needs something, someone with ideas, personality, strong will, to change it, and the whole off our game.. Aberdeen are playing Celtic this weekend in top table clash, it should be built up to hell in the coming days, make our game look exciting, promote it, get kids to take notice, yet the SFA will do sod all and the MSN will do nothing but put our game down time and time again. Sky will have a token mention about 1130am on the Saturday and that's it. There are talent players coming through, and certainly where im from you see the organization of youth football set up is good from primary all the way up. Time will tell I guess

The SFA have been a cancer on Scottish football for now near 3 decades. Since late 80s and the increase in TV coverage to football, the corrupt, closed house organization has bent over and let two teams decide how the game was ran in Scotland. They bought in all the foreigners, ignored any domestic investment in Scottish youth, and got to rule and control the league how they want. Any indicattion a Dundee Utd /Aberdeen / Hibs / Hearts had a decent youth lad come through, one of the two cheeks would buy them up, bench them and continue the total dominance they had over the game. A generation of footballers have been lost, and a generation of supporters have been lost due to the SFA and the old firm, apathy crept into the game from fans outwith the old firm, there was no point. Things like the prize money structures in place, the distribution of TV money when it was at a reasonable level, the level of corrupt,refereeing, the 11-1 vote requirements for any change within the game so the old firm could veto any change within our game. Its criminal how its panned out since the 90s, the SFA have no bottle, every time the two chirped up to go to England, they should have drove them down there and dumped them. And the media lapped it up in spades. The demise of the team that was Rangers, the reactions from the SFA is scandalous, they should been strung up, yet guys like these get kept in office, how, who votes these muppets. The whole Armageddon, we need 4 old firm games per year, we need an exciting league where 2 teams are miles clear of the rest, it is a joke. Last year it was tight in the league, what was the MSN or SFA doing to promote this, get some media money in, build it up. TV presenters dumb our game down, continually saying we need the old firm, instead of building teams up.. Christ the premier league and Sky makes West Ham v Stoke on 130pm on a Sunday sound like game of the decade, but we have Provan et al continually beat our game down..the old we need the old firm blah blah gets trolled out every time on tv,, Christ wonder why we couldn't get any decent sponsorship. The TV / Sponsor deal secured by the muppets at the SFA is pennies compared to what should have got, its miles below sports such as Super league Rugby, Rugby Union, yet the Scottish game has around the same audience as these two sports. We got that deal due to Doncasters inability to drum up our game, the babbling fool basically admitted back in 2012 our game was a sepnt force. !!! Yes a generation has been lost, and that blames lies squarely with SFA and the old firm I am afraid.. There is light at the end of the tunnel, Rangers going bust is maybe the nucleus to improve things, teams are reducing debt, there are good teams in the league, watching Ross County / Hamilton / Aberdeen / Hearts / Dundee this season, they try play football, there is talent there, nurture it, and we might have a national team fit to challenge again..Heaven forbid Rangers and Celtic might have to invest in home grown talent again like what happened in 70s and 80s Unfortunatly our manager is is one from the era, hoodwinked into thinking the whole Scottish game is 2nd rate and someone on the bench in England Division 2 with Scottish grandparents, is better than we have on offer up.. Yes one generation lost, lets hope this current generation is looked after better.

In Georgia's 5 games ignoring their Gibralter game, they have scored 1 goal conceding 13. They are ranked 139 in the world below Lichtenstien, Luxembourg, Kazhaksthan. Make no mistakes about it its a poor Georgia team Scotland play half decent we beat them comfortably, they are a much poorer team the 07 version, lets not get hung up on that game when we had a bad night and they looked decent. We will win in Georgia 2 or 3 NIL That will pretty much wrap up at least 3rd place and probably give us a one of match v Poland for 2nd. Irelands hope is we beat Poland and that gives them a one off match in Warsaw for 3rd

Go for 2-12-12-10 2 - Celtic and Rangers, let the horrible twosome who have strangled the life out of Scottish football for years stealing all prize money / unfair distirubtion of wealth, snapping up any other teams promising youngsters to keep on the bench -sod them tell them both to beat it!! Play each other 36 times a year, its keep the tossers in SFA happy and Sky can show them every week - job done 12-12 Premier and 1st division bottom 10 split it with highland and lowland leagues to regionalize the bottom rung, having teams like Annan travelling hundred miles every 2nd week is mad, clubs cant afford it. Relegation / Promotion easy enough job done thanks
