Slovenia v Scotland

[Aldo1983]

According to a Google search he was knocked back in 2009 and said he was interested in 2013. The SFA don't want a foreign manager because a foreign manager doesn't know their script.

Everybody at the SFA should be fired, as long as those numpties are still there, nothing will improve ever.

I don't give a f*ck who the manager will be right now. It's the SFA that needs chucked in the fire! F*cking corrupt jobs for the boys w*nkers! Every one of those c*nts should resign or be fired.

[81,82,83,84]

Whoever the next manager is they will need a degree in rocket science to understand this nations league ****e and how it all works. What a yawn fest of pish teams we are in with.... I bet we still don't qualify.

Totally agree, I won't be back till there is serious change...

The players we have at our disposal are at least as good as the likes of N.Ireland, Wales, Rep. Ireland, Iceland etc who have all done much better than us in recent years.

Picking players from England for no other reason that they're playing (occasionally) in England has disillusioned fans. I hope whoever comes in does away with this misconception that sitting on a bench in England makes you a better player than if you play week in week out in Scotland. The core of the team should comprise of Celtic's Scottish contingent and there are enough good on form players in Scotland plus a handful of those down south who play regularly who can fill the other slots. We need to find a way of accommodating Tierney and Roberston into the same team as they're arguably our two best players. Right back and central defence are the main problems, and centre forward if Griffiths is ever injured.

Dross like Hanley, McArthur, Fletcher, Fletcher, Philips, Martin, Morrison et al should be ditchec - they've had their chance and failed. Time for a new group of players to be given a shot.

Nothing more needs said than this.

Players shouldn't be getting picked just because they play in England, but we shouldn't be ditching players just because they play in England either and a lot of what you've written here is suggesting we do exactly that.

Just take three examples. Darren Fletcher is probably too old to continue for much longer, but he was one of our best players in the last game and shouldn't be getting singled out as dross after that in my opinion. Martin is at worst a good option to have on the bench, which should be abundantly clear after the two wins against Slovakia/Slovenia where him coming on helped change the game. Phillips played poorly in the last two games, but is on precisely 7 caps at present and is only 26 so the idea he's "had his chance and failed" is reactionary stuff at best.

Our pool of players is limited enough as it is without arbitrarily culling a load of our better options just to satisfy some bloodlust to get rid of those who play in England.

Agree with a lot of this, but Phillips is absolute gash and should be nowhere near our national squad. Ditto....Anya.
