Despite Levien again claiming recently he has no problem with Ross McCormack he is again omitted from the squad and if we do not have a better option at left back than Danny Fox then we really are totally fucked.

 

That said will be attending this as its 5 minutes from the flat and festival drinking times and Scotland game should be an interesting experiment.

Despite Levien again claiming recently he has no problem with Ross McCormack he is again omitted from the squad and if we do not have a better option at left back than Danny Fox then we really are totally fucked.

If Lee Wallace grows a pair and leaves Sevco (which I doubt, knowing his lack of brain cells) then that helps matters.

I also note the exclusion of Kenny Miller and I hope that this is because he's finished as opposed to the travel distance from Canadia for a friendly.  Two and a half strikers in the squad doesn't bode well then again we shouldn't be surprised.  Whilst I agree McCormack should be in squad, he'd still be behind Naismith and Rhodes (and Maloney*) in the pecking order for me.  I think it's about time  Shaun Maloney made an impact at international level.  Such a gifted player and done very little in a Scotland shirt.  Is it a character thing?

Disppointed at the exclusion of Danny Wilson (unless he's injured).  These are the types of games a player like him needs to build up experience.

The boy wizard said that Miller is excluded to 'settle in' to his new gaff and that he'll be back for the September qualifiers.

 

Mackie will be starting upfront himself next Wednesday.

 

Joy.

 

Only 8 Englishmen in the squad though....

Oh well Potter will be gone by November so next manager will have the pleasure of ending Miller's international career.

Have some faith, hopefully Danny Fox can get rid of 2 managers in 2 games 

[scunnered999]

Excellent... only 3 home based players in the squad...

[Tyrant]

I hate Levein so much. I have nothing but apathy towards Scotland Football Club right now and he's the person whose fault it is.

[dave_min]

The Ozzie squad looks fucking shite:

 

Mark Bresciano, Alex Brosque, David Carney, Jason Davidson, Adam Federici, Chris Herd, Brett Holman, Mile Jedinak, Neil Kilkenny, Robbie Kruse, Mitch Langerak, Scott McDonald, Ryan McGowan, Lucas Neill, Sasa Ognenovski, Mark Schwarzer, Archie Thompson, Carl Valeri, Luke Wilkshire, Rhys Williams.

[Jute]

Despite only last week saying he could not call up Wallace as he was third division player the knob jockey Levien calls up Ian Black despite him playing in the said third division. How this incompitent clown is still in the job is beyond me.

[bloo_toon_red]

Dear fucking fuck, could the man stoop much lower!? What a fucking wonderful way to showcase black's lack of ambition.

 

This us everything that's wrong with Scottish football being perpetuated by the SFA in allowing that fucking dimwit Levein to embarrass every hardworking scottish SPL player by picking a fucking halfwit from the bottom tier of football.

 

I genuinely hope if black gets a game, that his every involvement is booed ad a means of showing our disapproval of Levein. Fucking cunt of a man.

[dickofthedons]

A couple of guys are out, Forrest, Mackie and a couple of others. Replacements are McCormack and Ian Black. I have no nice comment about Ian Black, he can piss off from the squad at the best of times but showing no ambition and signing at a third division club. Just fuck the fuck off

[glasgowdon]

I've watched the Huns against Brechin and Peterhead and he's been woeful in both.

You're such a hun you.

[tom_widdows]

Houston going down several pegs in my view with his statement on Reporting Scotland

 

'Door is open to all players no matter what the division'

 

oh is that right Peter?

 

Funny how he only gets a sniff of the first team when he signs for the Stadium Bar Pub team. Has he suddenly become a better player than he was at Hearts or Caley?

 

Rory McAllister has 65 goals in 109 appearances for Brechin and Peterhead. Can we expect him to get a start ahead of Kenny Miller?

 

 

[Madbadteacher]

/\/\/\/\ This!

[glasgow sheep]

Fuck me, almost taking the retards side here:

 

Daily Record banned from Scotland press conference

 

Scotland boss Craig Levein banned reporters from the Daily Record from entering yesterday’s press conference ahead of his side’s friendly against Australia.

 

The Record reports that the ban stems from Levein’s dislike of their coverage of his decision to select Rangers midfielder Ian Black. (Record)

[bilbobaggins]

I read he's going to play Gary Caldwell in midfield. In a friendly.

 

Is anyone going to actually spend money to see this shite?

Have no idea why you would waste it on this joke of a "manager"!

[topcorner]

Levein is a better manager than Craig Brown 

[dave_min]

Sma excited.

 

The wi-fi on eastcoast trains is shite.

[BigAl]

Levein is a better manager than Craig Brown 

 

Not at international level he isn't

[BigAl]

0-1.......justice was done

 

Danny Fox (ffs) should have been red carded and a penalty awarded against him

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Ell oh ell.

[BigAl]

Hope you saw that clearly Potter

 

Nice finish from Ross McCormack

[BigAl]

Farcical...just fuck off Potter

 

Black FFS....if it had to be one of THEM, then surely it should have been Wallace
