Donsdaft I'm not a fan of England players playing for us either but if they have Scottish blood and are born in England and wanna play for us and have the passion then why not? And the weegie thing has always been there. There were plenty Celtic players in the team and why not?? People are moaning we should pick the best scots in our own league. Well they are! McLean and Shinnie I don't think would've been as good as those guys. But I would've tried them for Canada sure.

Totally agree with you Manc.. I have to say though, we did play really well. Every section of the team was well oiled ha. I'm still a Rhodes fan and would like to see him as a regular and I hate the fact Strachan picks shite a lot but he got it spot on last night. Hopefully he learns from this and stops picking duds like Hanley, fletcher and fletcher. I really believe we have a far better defence which was massively losing us games especially in is campaign. Tierney, Robertson and Armstrong were excellent as new boys. I hope the Canada game WAS to finally get rid of crap.but I don't believe it myself. See what happens when Docherty joins ya

If that swallow is beautiful, it deserves to be admired.

As far as I'm concerned? None. I think you'll find many examples of sporting heroes and players who were born elsewhere for their representative countries. John Barnes and raheem sterling aren't too bad for England. Ha. Actually that's shite....I don't think if you play for the England u-19 you should get anywhere near the Scotland team....Chris Martin

Ok anyone unhappy with that performance is just a moaning cunt to be a moaning cunt. Strachan has made some dumbass decisions in the past and may well in the future, but apart from introducing Rhodes, he got that spot on. And we have a new defence emerging which we have needed for about 2 decades. Tierney and Robertson were excellent I thought. Every player played really well. Brown ur a dick but we need him for the moment I hate to say. Armstrong was ace and snoddie sent some superb balls over. How Griffiths missed that is just madness.i think for him to header it, he had to lean in towards the defender and due to his height, I think he elected to wait and volley it instead. Well done Martin for the goal. We were absolutely all over that team and showed what we can play like. I know everyone is looking for a comfortable 2 or 3-0 match against them but they aren't that bad and the goalkeeper hadn't let a goal in for 7 hours of football. ( and we should've won about 4-0) When we are shite , let's say it but when we are brilliant and play some great football, let's ACKNOWLEDGE it and stop jumping on the AFC anti-Scotland bandwagon....especially some of those wankers in Abmad. Strachan , you're a stubborn wank but well done to you and the boys last night. That's what we Scotland supporters wanted and there has been glimpses but too many dead weights holding us back. Hope you learn from it. COME ON SCOTLAAAAAAAAAAND

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Nervy us as usual

7.45pm 4.45 am for me

COME ONNNNNNN SCOTLANDDDDD. 2-0 TO US

Terrible when ur horny

He better not play fletcher as he's pish and Rhodes is keeping him out the Wednesday side atm. I'd even go Rhodes with Naismith. Least Naismith can score. This is a must win game even though the press said we were out of the World Cup after the last game.

Well after the Cananda game, I still see a good chance for us to beat Slovenia believe it or not. We need to replace some defenders even for a vital game like this but they need cover. I'm using Fletcher as cover even though I'm not a huge fan but I think we have no option. We have no right back so I'd put Anya back there with Snoddy playing with him on that wing. Favoured strikers for me and a skillful attacking midfield with pace on the left wing. Here's my starting 11. McGregor Anya Berra Cooper Robertson Fletcher Snodgrass Morrison Cairney Griffiths Rhodes I'd bring on Armstrong and maybe Burke at some point and Fraser if he's fit for the last 20. Thoughts lads lol?

I was talkin about the players chosen not the actual result ha. Ok i watched mostly the 2nd half on you tube. Defence was pretty awful. Robertson was good when he came on as was McGinn. Fletcher actually did the basics right and played only 2 or 3 thru balls as he played far too defensively. An attacking McLean wudce been more effective in this game. Anya great and snodgrass wasnt his best but still fairly influentail. I thought rhodes was excellent .2nd best player. He tracked back nicked the ball from the opposition a few times and got into good positions. Just lacked a goal but the service wasnt always good tbf. Think we shud stick with him and griffiths for slovenia game

Didn't realise FRASER was injured since I'm 16,000 km away and I didn't see the team sheet or players problems/injuries before the game which was at 4.45am. Rhodes didn't miss a sitter as it was behind him slightly but he still should've got a shot on goal I think. And I'd take Rhodes any day over that hiding donkey Fletcher who you admire so much. 194 competitive goals in his career should've merited a constant place years ago as a starter. I could only read the game with page updates but Fletcher was only mentioned once. Is this our 3rd most capped player hiding again? Get Berra, Wallace and Mulgrew tae fuck. Was always going to be a draw or a 2-1 win for Scotland I reckon. A game to hopefully eek out the dross.

Wtf?? McGinn instead of Frazer??? Strachan ur a dick

Leigh griffiths and rhodes coming on. Always should have been. Though Naismith came close

We are all over them in a try out friendly . Calm doon everyone ha. Though his decision to play Wallace and Berra is ridiculous. Why not put Rhodes on ffs? And Fletcher can fuck off. Is he the 3rd most capped player ever? Are you fucking kidding me? Guys a big chump and a fucking joke of a player. Anya and snodgrass linking up well by the sounds of it. Get wee frazer on, rhodes and Cooper ffs Strachan.

It's been fairly shit but it would be shittier if he hadn't.

Rhodes is an excellent player, he's on form, scoring goals and not long ago was the most prolific striker in the 'U.K.' Leagues. Hanley is pish and should never be chosen. I've watched Scott Brown and Fletcher in every Scotland game they've played in nearly and when it comes to stepping up and taking the game by the scruff of the neck against good opposition, they really have. I hated Fletcher in the Scotland team. He was a Barry Ferguson who side passed and was certainly not the midfield playmaker everyone thought he was. Yeah he kept possession blah blah.how many killer balls through defences did he make?he was one of the most overrated capped players in recent times. I still rate the thumb as his record speaks for itself but again he needs to start scoring when given the chance though it's been minimal of course as has Rhodes'. Steven Fletcher has had his chance and I wouldn't pick him. We desperately need to find a new defence especially the centre halves. We have lost so many games because of donkeys playing there. If Strachan can find anyone from any league that are better than them or at least try them (hopefully as in Cooper) , then I'm all for it. THE Celtic players picked merit it I feel as they play in a club with plenty skill and confidence as do Aberdeen players who are on form. Can't think of anyone playing in Scotland who should be in the national set up other than who I've mentioned. I hate Strachans choices usually because he sticks to the same format who don't perform for him but I think bringing in Frazer, Rhodes, Cooper, and even Armstrong who has only recently found good form.

He's made terrible decisions since being appointed as manager of the national team but I totally disagree with your point. Surely his job is to get us to world cups etc and he's no chance by picking players I a shite league playing against lesser teams and players in that league. The EPL has better players, therefore better skills , therefore more to learn from in regarding every player. Surely because that standard is hugely superior to the SPL, the players should be of a better pedigree? I hate Scott brown being in the team no matter his experience or skill lever which isn't that great btw.he hides in big Scotland games or is outplayed and he fucking gave up on us anyway the cunt. Shinnie and McLean deserve their place without a doubt but to say Strachan should be trying to find talent in our league when its abundant elsewhere at a far higher lever is ridiculous. And Cooper is eligible through Scottish blood...for me that's a big yes yes. He also has the desire hopefully which is more than other cunts who hide in Scotland shirts or are just not good enough. Yer Broon, both fletchers, Hutton (who I used to rate) Hanley, Berra, McGinn, Glad Strachan is hopefully bringing back Rhodes who is brilliant. And picking SOME players on merit even at the expense of 2 of our players. COME ON SCOTLAND. (But fuck Strachan and mcGoo)

Not pipular opinion here but i actually agree with McLeish in that McLean and Shinnie need to up their games against Celtic. Show some real class against top opposition not just the shitty Hearts and Huns of this world etc. Still beggars belief with some of his other inclusuons since his tenor.

Actually Rico I got really pished one night however at the same time I stood in a dog poo while pissing in the street. Now as I'm standing on one leg cleaning the shit off my shoe, I happen to lean on a drain pipe but it's loose and I fall over and break my arm. Next I'm taken to hospital and some nurse comes in with a cup of tea for me.we get chatting and she tells me her son is a great football player. Over the next few months or so, I start falling in love with Mrs Cooper and get regular visits from her son Liam asking me about the Dons. He tells me his dream is to play for Scotland in a few years. (At this point , he is only 14) So you're wrong...I know him very well. Good luck to him too. The point being..if we can replace any of our donkey defence, then grab em.

I think Liam Cooper could be a great find for us and Strachan. He's Scottish enough for me.grandparent Scottish and played in e under 17s and under19s for Scotland. Strachan is due plenty of pelters and I'm not his biggest fan either. How Scott Brown gets a game before Shinnie or McLean is beyond me. I'm still a believer in Scotland and still hope we can qualify.thats more to blind love for my country and the sport than anything else of course. If we beat Slovenia and I think we can, then we are back in it. Of course, Canada isn't going to draw a big crowd.can anyone name a Canadian player? Can anyone name a Scotland player?? Jokin Anyway, come on lads get into Slovenia as the Cananda game is obviously a warm up and confidence/ find out booster.

Dissent Manchester Frustrated by shirt pulled and a right hook to the guys face kinda ha. Well deserved and a stupid moment for Jay den when only on for 10 minutes.

How can u miss that header Taylor?? Big tall lad with a free header. Head it down ffs
