Never understood that daft idea of inviting the other teams into the Challenge Cup, they have their own cup tournaments in their own jurisdictions to compete for after all. They should discontinue the current format and go back to the previous format after this season.

Got any proof for that statement ?

Not sure if this is a serious post or not ............

Broon likes to be "Mr Nice Guy" and sits on the fence these days. McLeish could lose to San Marino and Brown would probably still say "we need to give him more time".

People that seriously nominate Alex Ferguson for Scotland manager are thumb sucking morons. The kind of people who give their bank account details away to phone scammers. And don't get me started on all these fuds that want their beloved "Walter" back as Scotland manager. Derek McInnes is a good shout in the sense that he's exactly the kind of guy the SFA with their tunnel vision would go for. Him, Malky Mackay and Scot Gemmill would probably be their preferred options. The only Scottish manager I'd consider is Steve Clarke but I get the feeling he wouldn't want the hassle. The SFA wouldn't go for Neil Lennon as they know they'd upset the knuckle draggers and pretty much all the football media.

If UEFA and FIFA are willing to admit Gibraltar, then they should allow membership for Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and the Åland Islands.

I see that bitter yesterday's man Jim Sillars wants the SNP to vote for May's deal. Dear oh dear.

You know, if the SFA actually put the word out there across Europe (and even further beyond) that they were accepting applications to be manager of the Scotland national team - with the conditions that applicants must have several years experience managing club and/or international sides and must be a fully fluent English speaker - I'm confident they would have forty or fifty applications within a fortnight. Why don't the SFA approach some of Scotland's wealthiest individuals about them putting up part of the money so we could hire someone like Jürgen Klinsmann ? Is putting an advertising sponsor on replica international kits still allowed ? If so that could be one way to earn some extra cash.

Back of the fucking net. The idea that we must always have a Scottish manager is outrageous stupidity with also a touch of xenophobia added in.

If the whistle goes for half time and it's 0-0 or 0-1 to San Marino, I could see things getting ugly and someone running into the dugout to have it out with McLeish. Not that I would condone that kind of behaviour mind.

And what happens when Scotland becomes independent ?

Em, no. Everything "British" should be flushed down the toilet where it belongs.

"Noo just haud on a minute, them Kazakh's played really well and we actually played not too badly sometimes, we just couldnae get a wee goal neither we could. It's aw a fuss about nothing. Waur the feck am I ?" - A. McLeish 2019

A bit random but one thing I remember from November 2007 when he fecked off to Birmingham that really boiled my piss was a few kunts on Sportsound saying "I don't begrudge him leaving, he did a great job and I hope it all works out down South", "Och I wish him all the best at Birmingham, he deserves a shot at the Premier League." Can't remember who it was though.

Did anyone watch the Mexico match ? Ended 0-0 with us missing a last minute penalty. Anyone stand out ?
