The most relevant point of the top post is the population comparison of Iceland and Scotland (money will always come and go as in any market). Clearly Iceland and other 'minor countries' have the correct infrastructure in place whereas the SFA with the continual Largs stecht have been slowly driving Scottish football, imagination and mentality down for decades now. The training regimes, formations etc are poor and the spirit of adventurism has gone, they breed a fear of losing rather than an of excitement of winning.

As long as the gravel train prevails the situation will continue. Get used to it.

Im probably going to the Cyprus game over here and expect to be taught a lesson.
