Ireland also have a very good manager who knows how to set their team up and get the best out of their limited players Why always compare yourself to Ireland? Since 2009 Ireland have made a World Cup play off, qualified for Euro 2012, Euro 2016 (getting to the second round) and have beaten Germany, Italy and Bosnia in the past year.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It really is soul-destroying. We keep going around in a feedback loop. Glimpses of hope, then dross and evidence we aren't good enough and out we go. It has been like this for almost two decades now and several managers but nothing changes.

Hendricks Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 abysmal how exposed our young fullbacks have been at times. Disgraceful preparation.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought  after Gordon saw how close we were mathematically to losing out last time he would have learned every game needs to be played like it's our last and been more assertive. Maybe this time it is our last - or his.

Hertsscot Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 6 minutes ago, Third Lanark said: Why the hell are we so bad? Who do Republic of Ireland have that we don't? Are Whelan and McCarthy better than Fletcher and McArthur who are EPLplayers? Clark and Duffy are they better than Martin and Hanley? Sometimes it just seems be a bit of self confidence and a bit of belief. Â Once upon a time I thought we could beat anyone and could lose to anyone. Â Now it's just the latter. Â If Strachan goes or even if he stays its a horrible job. Â I'm normally optomistic til it's mathematically impossible but I can't see us doing this. Â Need to rebuild the self belief and we haven't much of that over the last decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoysinGreen Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) To think this is the much hearlalded Scotland team of Sep to Nov 2014 which many Scots gloated about. How times have changed. Get a manager that plays to your strengths, changes the mentality and grinds out results no matter how bad the performance is.

buckielugger Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 5 minutes ago, fraz65 said: Absolutely. Blaming the manager every two years isn't the answer. Its not about whether the Manager is to blame per se, but whether there is any prospect of a better future in the coming games under his leadership, and for me, Strachan has clearly come to the end of his journey with us. This loss tonight most likely ends another qualification. Certainly only a run of brilliant results could now rescue this campaign.  Yes, the players are making bad mistakes, yes, we have few players, if any, of good international standard, but other countries with similar supply of players make much more out of their resources. Strachan has made next to nothing out of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stactuso85 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Have they chucked it? Or can't they take playing in a stilted, slow, players-out-of-position formation any more? Losing 3-0 to a team who have barely had any spells of pressure. Having the bulk of possession and pressure but not scoring and leaking goals. Seen club teams like that in the past, they end up relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
