Great interview, good to hear him being so passionate about the game and the national team.
It's clearly a job he's incredibly proud to have and takes it very seriously.
I'd recommend his detractors have a listen to this and start to get behind him.

West Brom agree a fee of £5.5 mil for Matt Philips
That's 4 Scotland internationals this year have moved for £33.5 mil between them. Ritchie (12) Naismith (7) Rhodes (9) and now Philips for 5.5. Add in a potential move to Sheffield Wednesday for Ross McCormack for £15 mil which has been rumoured that's some amount of money, especially when 3 of them have hardly kicked a ball for us.
I thought Phillips looked pretty good in the recent friendlies.
Having 3 players at West Brom can do no harm.

We've got 3 guys who'd definitely be up for the boat on the Monday.

There's a couple of Large ones on ebay if they're any good? One an original replica by the looks of it and one Score Draw one
Just keep checking, that's where I got my XL one.
Cheers man?
Yeah I'm on it, been watching them both on eBay since they were listed, hopefully get one of them.

Aye, 3 of us at the moment(with another 2 to book)getting into Vienna at 1930 on the Sunday night.
Heading to Bratislava on the Monday, not sure if the Danube boat trip runs on Mondays off season though.

I have the official player issued away top from the 1986 World Cup, No.10 Jim Bett. The mesh type, it was never worn in a match. Size large. Yours for £500 ?
Take a zero off it and I'd be tempted.?
Sadly 500 notes is more than I could justify these days.
-
I'm forever looking for the 1986 away top to no avail, I notice he's got a few but they're all too wee.?

How has he done out there, many starts/goals?

Did he not take a mega huffy over being questioned on his Faro bus transfers? He was asking for money up front and then people would pull out and he was refusing to give refunds, yet happily sold seats on....and got a little bit nasty (though more a mountain out of a mole hill)
Ah right, funnily enough a mate of mine questioned him on his Bratislava buses and got 'telt aff'.
-
So what's the story re the McDermott guy on here?
I'm sure his heart is in the right place but he's a bit 'ma baw' on the Facebook pages he admins.

There was atleast three posts yesterday asking when the season tickets go on sale.
Brilliant, a whole group on facebook(minus the wind up merchants)who've never used google.?

As much as I'd like to see Paterson given the opportunity, rightly or wrongly I think Hutton will continue to be our first choice for this campaign.
-
It's hilarious, nobody who posts on it appears to have ever booked a flight before either.

I'm happy with 2 wins against higher ranked teams.
I felt we took more from the Czech game than we did tonight though,
I wasn't quite as impressed with tonight's selection.
-
It just doesn't work out for them.
Look at Fyvie, moved to early and is now a bit part player in the Scottish second tier.
Compare to Kenny McLean who resisted moves to average English sides and is now a full international.
-
Thought McCormack put in s great shift up front, Tony Watt didn't look out of his depth either.

JD and adidas have really missed a trick with this.
With them having sole rights it means Score Draw can no longer produce the retro range which were a massive seller.
JD currently stock 1 retro item, a pretty average 78 home top.
I know for a fact Score Draw would love to do another retro Scotland range.
-
Aye, 3 of us staying in Trnava after the game. Couldn't be bothered trying to sort seats on a bus.
Flying home from Vienna the next day.

I'm reluctant to say it really, but the comparisons with Vogts feel merited. When I saw the squads I thought of the friendly against Estonia that some of us will remember travelling to. I remember standing in the ground and being bemused that quite a few of those on the park were anywhere near a game for Scotland, and thinking 'how the fvck did it come to this?' Hopefully Scotland play well in both games, and a couple of the new players emerge as genuine options, but too many of those names make me think of the likes of Steven Caldwell, Robbie Stockdale, Gareth Williams, Scott Dobie and Warren Cummings. Hopefully I'm 100% wrong.
Hes chosen to pick 2 lots of 16 for 2 different friendlies and if nobody steps up its business as usual.
Vogts didn't have a business as usual, there's no comparison at all.

I don't really know what more Strachan can do, he's explained why some guys are in both squads, new guys called up and guys omitted. It's pretty simple really.
If he'd called up 2 squads of 22 there'd have been a dozen or so guys who got no game time at all.
Im quite impressed with what he's done, it's quite groundbreaking for us, although I don't agree 100% with a couple of omissions.
He's the manager though, so while he's in charge he gets my full backing.
-
I'd be wary about calling up John McGinn just now.
By all means if Hibs go up and he hits the ground running next season but he was woeful last season in the SPL.

the boat doesn't run on Mondays during the low season
We'll be getting the train then, cheers for the heads up.

That's us sorted now.
Flying Edinburgh-Hamburg-Vienna on the Sunday, wee night out in Vienna, boat trip up the Danube on Monday to Bratislava with Monday night there.
Matchday train to Trnava and staying there after the game. Back to Vienna on the Wednesday to fly home via Oslo.

We could do with some of that magic with Scotland but in reverse. Players who dont do uch at their clubs but raise it for internationals and perform very well. I always thought that about John McGinlay - "Why has this guy been picked!?" Then he would score an important goal and play well. Don Hutchison too.
You could say the same about McFadden actually.
Never really achieved much at club level despite having undoubted talent but had an excellent international career.

Yeah I'd agree with most of that.
It seems as if the criticism has increased since the Euros started and quite frankly it's got feck all to do with us as we're not there.
His biggest mistake was persisting with a few players against Georgia who weren't playing every week for their clubs and it showed.
He got found out, if he's learned from it that's great.
If he's not then he'll be punted.
I certainly don't think we should be judging him till after the England game when we should have 6 points if not 7.
