buckielugger Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Allardyce could play himself in defence, just stood still for 90 mins, he'd stop more than current defence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or by playing himself at centre-half? He'd probably be about as agile as Grant Hanley, to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend of a manager but evidently one that does not give a shit about the national side, He chucked the job after the 86 World Cup for United who were a big but labouringf club then. And we have had umpteen manager hunts over 20 years and he was always quick to rule himself out. Sad. Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course I wouldn't but the question is totally irrelevent. It is like asking me if I'd like to shag Miss World - sure but it ain't happening for reasons I meantioned earlier.

I think that is what we'd see here - a slight improvement in results but no qualification and then into a new campaign with renewed hope and then the same kick in the nuts to follow unless we can find players playing at a higher level than the ones we habe presently.

fraz65 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Big Sam would be offski as soon as the Premiership came calling. His stock is still reasonably high as a club manager- not a chance he'd be interested in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffiths and Anya looked good too. Strachan csn bolt, utter pish again. D Fletch is done and has to leave hopefully, S Fletch csnt play up top himself.

Highland Toffee Trafficker Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm really disappointed as I thought WGS might have been the one to get us out the 20 year doldrum that we're in, but alas, he's just losing the plot - his heid's went aw' mincey!! The first signs were after the Georgia game but now it's just embarrassing. I have to admit I was wrong - I thought we were on the right road but this campaign has been a disaster; I think we're going backwards. We were lucky in Malta, shocking on Saturday and tonight, although we passed it quite well in the 1st half, there was just no cutting edge and the 2nd half was quite painful. Why did he drop Ollie Burke (and sub him on Saturday)? Why did he wait until the 64th minute to bring subs on? Why did Snoddy play the full 90mins? TBH, I really hoped King Kenny would have got the job before Levein's disastarous 2nd campaign as it was obvious after his 1st that Levein was out his depth. Dalglish had just finished his stint with Liverpool 4 months prior and won them their first silverware in a few years, and nearly won the double. I just think Dalglish would set the team up to attack, would have the respect of the players, the media and the country, but more importantly, he'd have the power to shake up the SFA too. Those Kuntz at the SFA need purged !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLAS Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Regan and all his cronies should be first to go. Then Strachan and McGhee. Get in promising young coaches on a part time basis for training and tactical purposes. Guys like Jack Ross, McInnes and others with tactical nous. All supporter club members vote to choose the coaches, squad, formation and starting 11 while the coaches act as a committee to give players direction and make the final decision on any conflicts (532, but 3 strikers selected to start etc) 50,000 people have a higher chance of getting it right than one man without a clue. We'd have a better chance of qualifying for sure. Then we only have ourselves to blame if we decided to play as the home team while away to a higher seeded team... I'm not sure if I'm serious, but we need to start thinking radically to end our time from tournament wilderness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz7 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 last night was grim no other words for it the 2nd goal defenders hopeless and then 3 midfielders all standing in line with penalty spot. same at 1st goal with about 5 on line. then corner when our centre half martin was outwith the area of the goalposts at a corner. unbelievable jeff as the saying goes. also i am still raging that burke wasnt even stripped we had no one until griffiths came on that would run behind their defence. i had this discussion after sat game with some idiot saying he burke was lazy in defence, he is a direct runner not a fkn right back who caused problems and panic whenever he had a run at lithuania on saturday. Everyone in football knows that pace is a godsend if your players have it and in this day and age players who can run at defenders and beat them or get you up the pitch are the same. we had not one bit of pace in the team last night and as much as i like snodgrass i dont think ive ever seen him play wide left. Strachan needs to go and he needs to explain why no burke/griffiths/or robertson who i have heard was injured but not confirmed. we had 2 goalkeepers on subs bench but not a £13 million player in the bundesliga. Anyone who just came back from the moon would say our manager must be undercover working for slovakia fa. And end of rant but i was in faro last year and it was embarrasing so all you fannys who cheered him and who just go for the party can also fk off coz in my view people like yourselves have helped bring this great game that we used to be good at to the levels that we are now at with no optimism and just general doom and gloom and some of you should be on a political board also.
