Madbadteacher Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 I hope Shinnie doesn't play, not that I want to deny him a cap, but you just know, if he plays, he's doming back injured, Quote
manc_don Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 I'm not sure MBT. Still undecided on this one. Would love to see him get his first cap and wipe shittaker off the face of the planet. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 That's Danny Ward qualified for a major tournament. Well done Danny. Quote
manc_don Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Fantastic news! Thoroughly deserved, been a long time coming foe Wales. Quote
Goldie03 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 2 points secured away from home thus far. Embarrassed by Georgia. Our closest rivals take points from the world champions, we look like school boys happy to take part. As soon as McGhee and McCall became involved, you knew how this would end. Absolutely reinforcing Strachan's jobs for the boys approach which served him so well at Boro too. We've brought in no young talent this campaign so no excuses about a team in transition. Our fresh blood has been mid-career journeymen from the English second tier with little to no experience of winning. The SPL will be well represented in the Northern Irish team, front to back they'll have guys playing top flight Scottish football with McGovern, Mannus, Clingan, Paton, McGinn, Magennis, Boyce and McKay all likely to be challenging for a place in France. Still at least Martin, Hanley, Ritchie and Bannan can tell their grandkids about the time they played the World Champions and "nearly" got a draw. Oh, and Hutton now has more caps than Gemmill, Narey, Buchan, even Lambert. In fact, Hutton has more caps than Jess, Anderson, Shearer, Weir and Simpson combined. Whittaker, Berra and Morrison now all in excess of 30 caps as well. This sums it up for me Quote
manc_don Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Dutch still on the verge of getting knocked out. Won 2-1 against the Kazakhs but turkey just need a point against Iceland in their next game. Seems strange, but the Dutch team do appear to have become shit over the year or so. There are no players (Robben aside when fit) who are superstars or world beaters. First time in my life time that I could say that. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Scott Brown Is Shite want's Strachan to stay on. Aye you're guaranteed caps with him there Quote
tom_widdows Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Albania on course to qualify 2-0 up on Armenia Thats from a group containing Portugal, Denmark, & Serbia. Cant say I could see Scotland qualifying from that group Quote
Madbadteacher Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Same old shite team selection, same old shite Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 A nod to the future tonight from Strachan... one player under the age of 26, with just the six players over 30... Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Aye, whichever way we look at it, "it's shite being Scottish". This is the yin and the yang at play here. We have so many natural advantages. Topography. Geography. Minerals. Wealth. Passion. Integrity. Ethics. The downside was always going to be heavy. Our neds are idiosyncratically our own. Our nepotism unfortunately, and our loyalty to uselessness is all too human. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 A nod to the future tonight from Strachan... one player under the age of 26, with just the six players over 30... I guess he's a little limited by who was already in the squad but why he's not giving shinnie and Russell a chance is beyond me. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 I guess he's a little limited by who was already in the squad but why he's not giving shinnie and Russell a chance is beyond me. Absolutely. I'm a big fan of Darren Fletcher, but did we really need to bring him on tonight? He didn't play him against Georgia away when we really needed to play him, but tonight he got the call. Strange, to be honest. Strachan is a thrown wee bugger, and I often wonder if he just does these things to show supporters/journalists who is boss and that he'll pick whoever he wants - as is his right. I'm waiting for Scott MacDonald to get a cap in the next set of qualifiers... Quote

I can't help think that's his last cap and he was brought on to give him one last run out. Saying that it would have been much more beneficial to blood shinnie in the Scott brown role. Quote

The country got embarrassed, there's no time for sentimentality when you have to build for the future. As I said yesterday, I do think that Strachan is the person to do it but I can't help but think Bobby has a point. He's quite clearly an egomaniac so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Playing brown, Hutton and Fletcher(s) is wrong and pointless. Quote

Tyrant Posted October 14, 2015 Report Posted October 14, 2015 Turns out I'm completely free next summer then. :thumbsup: Might build an ark or something. Quote
manc_don Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 Arabs one down to Hearts, lost 17/25 games! Quote
manc_don Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 Some result by arsenal given bayerns form of late. How that official made that call is beyond me, even Ian Wright said he must have made a guess. Highly unlikely he saw it! Quote
tom_widdows Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Yon tic potentially collapsing in the rain? Shame it seems to make no difference in the spfl. Quote
manc_don Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 Yon tic potentially collapsing in the rain? Shame it seems to make no difference in the spfl. Commons' reaction to being subbed is hilarious. Let's hope it's the start of some discontent in their camp Quote
manc_don Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 What is it with Sunderland and sacking their manager before a Derby, with the new manager beating the Barcodes!? Quote
