Andy Goram and Graham Roberts

He is, for me, worse than Levein and Berti. Berti didn't have anything like the talent (Although reasonably limited) Strachan has to choose from. Levein, I think, might have even got us closer to qualifying from this group. Just go now Gordon...

Bizarre. Or is it, is anything bizarre anymore with GS? Probably not. In Gord we trust.

Strachan in the paper again today; Gordon Strachan warns that Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths faces a difficult task, on account of his smaller stature, to work his way into the starting line-up for the World Cup qualifier against England at Wembley next month. In Scotland's two recent matches Strachan opted for more physical players up front - Steven Fletcher and Chris Martin. The Scotland boss says, "You need to have a certain amount of height in international football teams to defend set plays". (Herald) Is he just trying to wind us up now!?!?

We will be pumped 3 or 4-0 and strachan will be gone in the morning. sad to say I want us to lose to make sure he goes :-(

I think the point is they go to the semi finals of the Euro's

Well you won't need three of your more creative attacking prospects in a game you have to get something out of but having a back up to your back up goalie on the bench is essential.

Sending him home following the match - Classic Strachan move. Bizarre and damaging.

We know we aren't favourites. There are a few here who still think criticism of Strachan = If someone else was in charge we would qualify. That isn't whats being said. We can improve and give the fans more to cheer about without qualifying. On current showing we may end up 5th in this group.

Need to take into account how poor a squad Vogts had after retirals and Brown's insistance on picking guys about 30 for the majority of his years in charge - Was light years behind the team we have now even.

Great post

Frustrating comment from him last night "We need to find a system that works". Well, err, obviously, we should have tried different systems, some young players and formation variations in friendlies. What a tattie he is, honestly...

Slovakian club teams are rampant in the champions league though and usually win it

Yeah you're right actually

Post match press conference should be an interesting one...

Northern Ireland

That made me laugh hahaha

McGhee.. I hope that's a joke and I just haven't got the sarcasm?

Probably yes. Ireland also have a very good manager who knows how to set their team up and get the best out of their limited players

For the whole campaign

It is this managers fault. these players could get to a tournament with a better manager who can change tactics, pick a team better and set us up to get results when they're needed.

Northern Ireland haven't in about 40 and they've qualified for two world cups and a Euros in that time...

They should be 3-0 up.

Hmmm must he though?
