Malcolm Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Any slight older TA members know the circumstances of him leaving the Scotland job? Seems to have had a good team, playing well, on course for World Cup qualification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The great Scottish (Unionist) media took great delight in reporting every single episode of player indiscipline Some at the SFA wanted someone who could nip this in the bud The great SFA committee voted on whether he should stay on and i believe it was something like 4-3 in his favour I believe Ormond seen this as a slap in the face that not all of the SFA were in his corner and resigned/came to a mutual decision to leave Just another sorry tale of Scottish self implosion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks... Very strange. Then they appoint ally McLeod who is hardly a disciplinarian manager! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Great clip.... Featuring now many of the dearly departed. And whoever wrote to Ian archer on the toilet roll got their wish 20 odd years later. I am just about old enough to remember Ormond as the manager and then hearing that he was no longer the manager in the school play ground. I remember desperately wanting a Scotland top in 1977 and being given a top that was a bit like a Scotland top but I knew it wasn't as it didn't have the diamonds on the sleeve... Then finally getting a real umbro one with the big World Cup badge after the World Cup when they were sold off cheap lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The Copenhagen incident, Jinky at Largs etc. stuff like that was never going to bode well for the man in charge. Jock Stein got the job several years too late unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
