glasgow jock Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Don't be daft Rossy - were making progress behind the scenes (been hearing this for over 20 years now), and a lot of our fans are happy to accept failure after failure & as long as you can say "In Gord We Trust" and or overdress for a day trip everything is fckn hunky dory  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Has Ray Parlour been taking lessons from Jim Traynor? apparently the england fans were behaving and enjoying themselves but were then provoked into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan cake Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Was fecking embarrassing telling French punters in metz we hadn't actually qualified, no Scotland no party apparently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelk Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Try living in it and being surrounded by the 'euro fever' yet just feeling apathy and embarassment. For years i imagined how exiting this month would be with an expanded 24 team toirnament making it almost certain we'd qualify. Albania. N Ireland. Wales. How did we end up so low? (Any of you partboy positive outlook types that try to justify it by saying holland didn't qualify either can go f##k yourselves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrystarfish Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Aye this week has been hell, but I think it will get better once the actual football starts tonight. I can't take any more reports from the Home Nations training camps. At least we're past all that WAG shite from a couple of World Cups ago.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Been a lot of chat about how all the other home nations are there and we alone are not. Yeah that is bad. But Iceland are there. Iceland with a population not much more than Aberdeenshire. Iceland have proven that with limited resources but an excellent plan and full on commitment in execution you can punch way above your weight. Scotland is the dictionary definition opposite of Iceland. We have arguably the most loyal fans in the world but our game is a laughing stock. I keep saying it but it is the folk running our game. It is rotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 When I think about it the clubs and the sfa can do their stuff but its the footballing mentality of the population that has to change. Still far to much of "get stuck in", hard tackles, celebrating failure, bad diet and lack of skill and flair. I really don't know how to change that.

Still far to much of "get stuck in", hard tackles, celebrating failure, bad diet and lack of skill and flair. I really don't know how to change that. It will take a generation to change the mentality.  It will take radical change from the top downwards to develop footballers, not under 10-under 16 teams that are taught that winning is all that matters. kids at 12 year old playing on full size pitches, and goals ? What type of player develops via that? Strong  tall, runners that can kick and head the ball the furthest. If you develop kids at a young age to learn how to be comfortable with a football, it will become natural to them over time.  The clubs are as much to blame, the need to win at all levels is at the disadvantage of progression of individual talent. Scotland as a nation continues to live on past glories (?) and think if we try hard enough to replicate it it will eventually pay off.  Other nations look at what works at the top level and adopt that approach. Germany after a World Cup failure ( quarter finals, I think) re-evaluated everything and changed the structure from top to bottom to ensure future success. In Scotland we hope to get a eases have group to battle through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
