  1. I think this needs to change - within reason. There's a fine line between avoiding mass call offs through good squad harmony and continuity and just getting stagnant and pish. It's not an easy job finding that balance but winning makes the whole process much easier.
  2. Having the presence of mind to set up multiple accounts all at once in case of future bans is expert troll level. .
  3. Apart from the weird references to Matt Ritchie and Argentina I don't see much wrong with the article. The SFA have been a disaster for well over a century.
  4. It's a general Nations League thread, so I'm hoping to see something like this for the games.
  5. Gunn Hickey Hendry McKenna Tierney Gilmour Ferguson McTominay Gannon-Doak Ure Curtis Significant game time for Patterson, Robertson, Fletcher, Miller, McGinn, Burke, Bowie, Adams (and Harry Gray!).
  6. As that what we’re calling him now?
  7. I see St Mirren signed Chris Mochrie. I still have high hopes for this player and it will be good to see him in the SPFL.
  8. The experience question is fair enough. There may be examples within international football of fairly inexperienced managers getting the job - although I can't currently think of any. I guess it would be taking a punt and we'd find out soon enough if it was working. I don't have a problem with Alex Neil but I don't know much about him now.
  9. I would take glorious failure over inglorious failure. I don't really care that we did what was expected, it was the manner in which we did it that sticks in the craw.
  10. I think we need something of a re-set in the striker department. Adams I’d keep, but I think we should really be concentrating on getting in younger players. Bowie and Ure for Dykes, Hirst and Stewart. Maybe one of the Wilsons will step forward for the other spot. Alternatively, although not a young player, I think Burke can give us something different for 3 or 4 years but probably playing off a striker. I’m not sure about Shankland. I suppose he could be useful off the bench in qualifying games for the Nations League but the clock is very much ticking given his body shape. Although, quite young, I’m not really sold on Conway. If he was a really good striker I don’t think he would be filling in on the left side for club and country. So out with much of the old guard to give the younger players the experience they will need if they are to be effective further down the line, even if there’s an argument they won’t be as good as what they’re replacing in the short term.
  11. There are no doubt plenty of good foreign candidates and that is possibly the best option, but if we go with Scottish I’ve just got a feeling Neil McCann would be good. He can talk clearly and compellingly, seems popular within football, and appeared to want a square go when it was suggested that the players weren’t technically good enough. I think he’s the type that players would want to play for. He did very well at Kilmarnock, brought Curtis on a huge amount in a short space of time, and was a very good Scotland player in his day.
  12. I think we can say with absolutely certainty that any non-Old Firm Scottish team is losing in Europe to a Swedish team.
  13. Seems like a sensible chap. There has to be a lesson to many players in Scotland. Grow a pair and get out there.
