  1. Yeah I would say its far better than kodi for live streaming. What you would need to do is either via a firestick or smart tv is download smart iptv from the app store, register the mac address on the smart iptv website which will cost about £5. Once thats done you can go on ebay and search (iptv subscription) It will cost about £10 for 3 months to £30 a year, but basically its the full sky package with ppv and stuff like that. Imo its well worth it, even just for the sport alone

    After the USA’s campaign this year?

    I’d rather the Emirates Arena was in charge. 

    Granted it wasnt the greatest campaign but has won the CONCACAF gold cup 3 times. Still another name to consider is Mick McCarthy

    The scott Brown comparison is bullshit. Scott Brown decided to come out of retirement and make himself available for selection. He only retired in order to prolong his club career but realised he missed it and wanted one last crack at going to a major tournament with scotland. IMO he is a good guy for coming back, all be it was in a glamour tie with england but he still stuck out the rest of the campaign.

    I heard that Scott Browns hip are fecked, and was struggling for fitness for a long time

    I think his point is hypothetical to be fair.

    Like you, I believe we do have a strong body of players (maybe missing a couple of central defenders), and I also believe we produce good managers. Taking his overall managerial career into account, WGS was one of the best ones - certainly more so than the previous couple of incumbents, and his record outwith Scotland was better than Smith and probably better than McLeish.

    Maybe a question to ponder is why have ostensibly good Scottish managers choked so far this century when it comes to qualifying for tournaments? Even McLeish did so from a potentially winning position from the most intimidating group we have ever faced.

    Smith and McLeish could be classed as unlucky in a group with Italy, France and Ukraine. Strachan was/is far too headstrong to change things. Burley and Levein well....

     

    Take Iceland for example, manager has only managed in Iceland. The same team that beat Turkey away 3-0 some of his starting 11 play for Aberdeen, Bristol City, Randers and Hammerby. If they have the players that qualify for euros and the world cup them so do we

    If the problem is that we don't have the talent available to qualify at the moment, then changing managers won't help. And after 20 years of blaming managers we are no further forward.

    That was my point.

     

    I believe that we do have the players. Cant believe that "supporters" still think that we don't have the players, your opinion obviously sorry but its utter crap

    Haven't i argued with you before about football in Scotland. With you of the opinion that "it's pish" or some other equally compelling insight, despite the fact you don't actually attend any games or contribute to it. 

    Or have i got you mixed up with someone else? Apologies if so. 

    I've never said scottish football is pish, I go and watch Ayr United right enough though

    Why is Paul Lambert in contention? Could someone please explain because I really don't see him as a better manager than Strachan. 

    He's not. It's just the fact that he's scottish and out of work. According to the bookies that makes you one of the favourites for the job

  8. The sfa are not going to be looking to pay any compensation unless its pennies. They'll have drawn up a shortlist of 5 managers who are Scottish. I really dont think that they want a foreign coach but if they do, I'd imagine it will be a pretty swift appointment and given a friendly game in November. 

     

    Moyes, Lambert, McLeish Clarke and Jim Duffy (min comp)

     

    Foreign

    Hiddink, poss Van Gaal might be interested but both would command a hefty wage

    Exactly how i feel. Why can’t we do what Iceland have done?

    Iceland beat Turkey 3-0 away from home and played 442. They have players who are equal to our own, ok some of them in the starting eleven play for "lesser" clubs but at least their getting game time. Hammerby, Bristol City, Aberdeen and Randers, but who are we to turn our noses up at anyone.

    Why are they better than us? Why are a country with 300,000 in the top 20 in fifa world rankings? Is it the manager? Better players? Players with more dedication? 

    We should absolutely be doing what Iceland have done.

    Dunga?

    It will probably be somebody dung but it won’t be Dunga. :lol:

    Aye I know! ? I think they threw his name in for a laugh! They also have Billy Stark down but I'd rather have Billy the fish from the viz
