buckielugger Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Strachan's now had 30 mins to resign. Is he not able to do that competently either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckielugger Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 If Will Young can quit Strictly, surely Stachan must follow suit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I was concerned about this before hand as felt his contribution was negligible on Saturday but Darren Fletcher's time is up and we need to look elsewhere. Listen, he's been a terrific servant and a top class professional and has had some excellent performances but he's just not the influence he was. I think he should be following Scott brown as the opportunity to play at a major tournament has sadly now passed him by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86glebestreet Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I hope Scotland fail to turn up at Wembley if it means England are awarded a 3-0 win, dread to think how many they will put past us if they are playing in first gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McVinceSCT Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Watching Scotland at football is the same as watching Scotland at rugby a few years ago. Only lateral pass, no creativity, looks to be too happy with a good throw-in. I am glad we improved... at rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is allowed an opinion except him. So he had to do what no one else would have, so that we can all see how clever he is and how he knows best.

No. He made him travel to Slovakia, then sent him home. #STRACHSINCHERGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, all told they wouldn't feature here so were released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you won't need three of your more creative attacking prospects in a game you have to get something out of but having a back up to your back up goalie on the bench is essential.

Seems like a misjudgement tho.. I think every one of us thought Burke could have an impact in this game with his strong running.. and judging by Burke's reaction, he didn't quite understand why he'd been left out, took it more as a dis than as the manager protecting him (which is likely what Strachan thought he was doing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
