Marty Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 On the Friendlies, he's havering psh. Peru and Mexico are a good six weeks before their Champions Leagues games and they are in the exact same position as any of their champions league opponents. Most other national teams have friendlies and wtf would he have done if we had qualified for the world cup. On Neil Lennon, I strongly agree, especially given the other contenders. Take off any club bias and Lennon is a winner who is well placed to get the most out of a squad he knows very well. Apart from accepting a poison chalice at Bolton (did well at first but don't think even Fergie could have halted the demise of such a badly run club) he has been a massive success as a player and manager. He can be a snarly git at times but that would be ok if he was our snarly git. He also has lots of international experience, and in my mind showed some integrity and open-mindedness by playing proudly for NI despite the sectarian pressures from both sides. I am usually guilty of anti-old firm bias myself, but I think we need to recognise that he's a stronger candidate than anyone else who has been talked about at the minute and who might realistically want the job.

scottincarlisle Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I can't see the problems with the friendlies. If we had qualified for the WC we would have been playing a couple of warm up games then at least another 3 games. No one would have been complaining if we were off to WC. The players will be away for less time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo cop Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 TBH What has it got to do with Brendan Rogers who gets the Scotland job? As for the friendlies it will probablyy be a case of how many players are going to pull out sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Rodgers can STFU, he is an absolute cunt who fails at the first sign of a challenge, poor at Liverpool, couldnt replace Suarez, wasted millions and eventually sacked, failed in Europe with Celtic and bitches about money issues, fails to see basic flaws in his sides. As for Lennon, not a hope in hell he would be right for Scotland. The gnarling guinea pig would piss off the vast majority of people within a few games.

Scotland Ever More Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Amazing that some folk keep using this example of the players playing at the world cup if we had qualified as if it is any way the same thing as them playing two friendlies that will have no benefit whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Brendan Rodgers is in a far better position to rest his players and rotate his squad than the new Scotland manager will be. he can easily rest some of his players and rotate his team, he’d still stroll to domestic victory.

Gordon isn’t exactly running himself ragged, he’s got fuck all to do most weeks forrest - meh, ye can give him as much rest as you want. atmstrong - not on form nor is he playing every week mcgregor - not sure how often he plays, I’d have thought he’d be itching to cement his place in the Scotland team . Griiffiths - a player Scotland simply can’t afford to go with out, he isn’t playing week in week out. conclusion, Rodgers is talking out of his anus again but the Celtic fans believe every word he spews out.

He talks close to but not quite as much shite as he did as Liverpool boss but with the fall back of guaranteed success due to the financial gulf. The same financial gulf he experiences in Europe and complains about before each match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club manager will be able to play his preferred 11 in matches like that, the Scotland manager (whoever that may be) won't have that option. These games are a complete waste of time for everyone expect the fans going for a new pin badge. You can dress it up whatever way you like but that's reality. I hope the reports of the players planning to boycott it are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't even have a new manager yet so nobody knows if he'd even think a trip like that is worthwhile ffs The new guy might see it for what it is, a load of pish, but he's been handed it without any consultation first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
