He wasn't our worst player. He is far, far worse than Phil Bardsley who should be our right back, if our manager wasn't such a pri*k

He was absolutely mince v England are you kidding!? ran the ball straight out of play twice!!

You clearly are offended. Hows Greg Kiltie and Craig Slater getting on these days? Glad to see Robbie Muirhead hit the dizzy heights you claimed he would. Cant wait to hear about the next big thing to come from Killie!

Shocker Squirrelhumper gets offended about Kilmarnock...! Majority of them come from rangers and Celtic, then the others come from the other teams.... happy now?

I don't see how this is something that doesn't already happen. If a young player looks promising playing for a small clubs youth team, a bigger club will snap him up. It can work the other way round where a club develops a young player, like Celtic did with Andrew Robertson, releases him, a smaller club then develops him further with game time & He can still reach the top. Colt teams playing in the senior leagues would improve the standard of our young Scottish players and never has it been more obvious that we need to address that. Our under 17s are very good normally. Our under 19s and under 21s are usually mince. There's a reason for that and the issue that these boys get older yet the standard of each team stays the same every year speaks volumes for the lack of development for our young players once they are over 17.

Disagree. Celtic, Rangers and to a lesser extent, Hearts and Aberdeen produce the bulk of the players who make up the most talented youngsters in the country. The Colt teams are an idea to get those boys playing against senior players week in week out. In terms of benefiting the national team, there are no negative points to them. In terms of the fans of Montrose and Elgin City, they are met with opposition, for obvious reasons.

In the last 30 months in competitive matches we have beaten Gibralter and Malta. Says it all.

Correct. Even though Strachan doesn't pick the squad or line-up that he should, a better manager would still manage to be more successful with the same squad, line-up and formation for sure.

Since you asked; 442 GK Gordon RB Bardsley CB Brown (Centre back - this one is controversial i know!) CB Berra/Mulgrew/Wilson/Cooper whats the difference. Maybe even try Lindsay there DL Tierney MR Burke MC Armstrong MC McArthur/Cairney ML Fraser FW Griffiths FW Rhodes Bench; Marshall, Robertson, Cooper/Wilson/Lindsay, Kingsley, Shinnie, McArthur/Cairney, Forrest, Gauld, Snodgrass, Kenny Miller Personally would rather see Kenny Miller back chasing things down and holding the ball up than ever seeing Chris Martin in a Scotland shirt again.

Does it do that for us? All i've seen the last.... must be coming on 8-10 games now is a groundhog day of monotony and depressing slow paced terrible football. Anyone with any sense on this board knows that under the present management and with the present system and selection of players we are where we deserve to be in this group. It's likely that under Strachan and setting us up how he does we would win only 1 more game for the rest of the campaign, at home to Malta.

Why do we have to stick with this 4231 formation Strachan has been obsessed with since he took over!? He also has said on a couple of occasions that we need to find a system that works. 442, play some youth and if it doesn't work so be it, atleast we tried. Buzzing for 4231, a 1-1 home draw and Strachan praising Barry Bannan who is absolutely woeful.

Barry Douglas and Jay McEveley? Just kidding

Agreed. Lowest point in our recent history and was already very scunnered and uninterested in the national side thanks to Strachan... Slovenia game possibly the least I've ever looked forward to a Scotland game.

http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39361127 Strachan; "this game shows what happens when you pick so many players not playing regularly" why not pick ones who are playing like every other nation does!? He also references Barry Bannan and Charlie Mulgrew as having good games! Might not even watch the game at the weekend. On the TV

Hopefully we lose and play terrible and Strachan is gone in the morning.

That last corner from Bannan sums him up and you could see that happening before he even kicked it. what a load of utter dross

Bannan oh my god! So useless why is he even in the squad

Final score; Scotland 0-1 Canada Can just hear Strachan now, "Chris Martin was exceptional and we created chances. Robert Snodgrass hit the post with a brilliant curling effort" You mean that cross Gordon... and Martin was mince...

We are getting to the point of being beyond a joke

So obvious Rhodes or Griffiths should be upfront. Strachan doing his usual once again. Where is Ryan Fraser!? A few games and we will have someone else in charge atleast.

Fair point. Wales (who are much better than us) with Ben Woodburn and Harry Wilson in their senior squad with a combined age of 36 and 7 club appearances between them. Cant imagine us ever capping a promising 16 or 17 year old.

Ah the old 2-0-0

Get a foreigner in. Time for a totally fresh start. Get one without a Scottish assistant too and let them make their own mind up about players, if you do/don't pursue eligible players and how experienced a player needs to be in club football to get a call up.

Haha he is. Counterproductive. Imagine if Pressley somehow convinces a good player to potentially switch. Player then meets with McGhee and Strachan and is met with McGhee's lack of intelligence and football knowhow and Strachan's 'sharp wit' and arrogance and instantly begins looking into his Gibraltan ancestoral roots.

Just like Steven Caulker?
