  1. A decent result in Tuesday will be a sticking plaster over a huge crack. 100% agree with that,
  2. The friendlies were a bad idea, France and Italy were preparing for the euros and had with players hoping to get into the starting 11, our players were winding down for holidays. We would struggle against them at the best of times but in a end of season friendly??? Whoever pick those friendlies wasn`t thinking straight , we would have been better against poorer opposition where we would have had more of the play and maybe give the players a lift or better still just not played them. What did we learn from them???? Nothing we didn`t know already
  3. Interesting article. I remember all the talk around 2002 after failing to qualify and the SFA was supposed to be investing in more coaches etc though nothing has seemed to change since then. I believe that our young players have the same potential as any other country but seem to struggle to bring them on. We hear of them at 17 to 19 then they fail to live up to the potential they showed. If you look at what Spain and Germany did it really seems to be a case of money money money. Maybe a way forwards would be for all youngsters to be at a national academy until they are 18, where they can all be trained by the best coaches we can get, maybe loaned out to clubs during that for a few months at a time to gain some experience as long as they are playing in the first team. They then could be sold on and the money reinvested in the academy. Probably impossible to do but a fresh approach is definitely needed as the current system just isn`t fit for purpose.
  4. Never said he has to be a Scot was just a few names and both of them i doubt would do worse than Strachan. We need someone with something to prove, a young hunger manager who wants to make a name for themselves for the right reasons not someone in the twilight of there career. But i would be happy with any nationally as long as we improve.
  5. He should have left after the euro campaign, the Georgia performance on its own was a sackable offence. Not getting even a play-off place in the group was a disaster and when you look at the world cup group with one one automatic place and one play-off place and the teams that will be in the play-off we really did missed a golden opportunity.There are a few managers out ther Moyes is one, McInnes at Abeerdeen is a young manager who has done well with limited resources, there are plenty of candidates. Just look at Northern Ireland and what they have achieved without a "big name manager" or a host of quality players.
