maverick sheep Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Strachan to be appointed Scotland boss "within 48 hours" according to the telegraph The inevitible winner of the 'nae other cunt in the race' race? Quote
Jute Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Strachan to be appointed Scotland boss "within 48 hours" according to the telegraph Reasonably happy with that if true. Should boost crowd at Pittodrie next month. Quote
Kowalski Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Reasonably happy with that if true. Should boost crowd at Pittodrie next month. Not sure it'll boost the crowd much but agree with your first sentence. I have no reason to believe that he won't play a more positive style of football as Scotland manager. Time to give him all our support. Quote
BigAl Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Strachan to be appointed Scotland boss "within 48 hours" according to the telegraph And The Retard and The Sun Excitement level, failing to register on the scale Quote
Kowalski Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 And The Retard and The Sun Excitement level, failing to register on the scale Who would you prefer? Quote
BigAl Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Who would you prefer? Difficult to say mate. Think we could do worse than Billy Stark if I'm honest. Only part of my lack of excitement however is down to the fact it's Strachan, and the other part just a general sense of lack of interest in the national team brought about by one disappointment after another. The last time I can recollect any real pride in my national team was returning home from '74 World Cup as the only undefeated team in the competiton. Quote
mizer Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Nae 100% sure but decent enough choice. Cant be anything worse than the last clown. Quote
dave_min Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 Difficult to say mate. Think we could do worse than Billy Stark if I'm honest. It's safe to say he failed his interview convincingly in Luxembourg. Quote
Stewart Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Press conference at 12pm. Reckon he'll wear a saltire tie? Quote
BigAl Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 It's safe to say he failed his interview convincingly in Luxembourg. Fair point Dave, still would rather have seen him get it that Wee Chesney. Pound to a penny, he attempts his hunourous and arrogant style at said press conference. Anyway putting all of that aside, if it is him, so be it and hope it works out, just simply can't get excited about the prospect Quote
Kowalski Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 “I am extremely proud to be appointed as Scotland National Coach. There is a considerable challenge ahead in the World Cup qualifying campaign but we can take those first steps towards addressing that in the double header against Wales at Hampden and the visit to Serbia in March. “Next month’s match against Estonia will give me an opportunity to assess the squad and, of course, it will be an unforgettable experience walking out as Scotland National Coach at Pittodrie, a stadium that holds many special memories as a player. “I can assure the supporters that I will do everything in my power to make sure we have a national team we can all be proud of and one that, in time, can experience the excitement of participating in a major championship finals once again.” Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 if a young player is capped by his country does that increase the compensation teams need to pay to sign him up after contract expires? Quote
glasgow sheep Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 if a young player is capped by his country does that increase the compensation teams need to pay to sign him up after contract expires? I see where you're going with this Quote
Kowalski Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I don't know if this is true but its doing the rounds: Reporter: "Will you pick Rangers players despite them playing in division 3?" Strachan: "I don't think any Berwick players are good enough" Quote
Edinburghdon Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I don't know if this is true but its doing the rounds: Reporter: "Will you pick Rangers players despite them playing in division 3?" Strachan: "I don't think any Berwick players are good enough" God I Hope that is true! Quote
dave_min Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 God I Hope that is true! Pfft! I bet you don't even know any Berwick players, yet you write them off. I doubt any are worse than Gary fucking Kenneth. Quote
dandy Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 The Sun has Mark McGhee as favourite to be Strachans assistant! Dear god! Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 The Sun has Mark McGhee as favourite to be Strachans assistant! Dear god! the first game is at pittodrie, so i highly doubt that. read somewhere he wanted mcallister. Quote
Kowalski Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 read somewhere he wanted mcallister. Would be an excellent choice IMHO. Quote
BigAl Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Would be an excellent choice IMHO. Agreed. God forbid it's McGhee. My lack of excitement about Chesney's appointment would sink even lower if that clown got a gig with the national team Quote
manc_don Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Certainly every article I've read has indicated that it would be McAllister. Hopefully its true. Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Strachan's clearly stated desire to find a system that suits the players doesn't fit too well with McGhee's stubborn mantra to play 4-3-3 at all costs. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Please no, not McGhee. I'll only be happy if he finally gets the Celtic job he craves Quote
