He got his line up completely wrong for me, and how Philips stayed on the park. WGS said because of his physicality, may as well have had the fridge playing that position.

Wee McGregor must love this international malarkey. Don't need to break sweat, nice hotels, best of grub a free hurl to Slovenia and a buckshee tracksuit. WGS deserves a boot in the baws for his selections tonight. Bannan McArthur and Phillips ahead of McGregor Mcginn and Forrest . GIRFUY wee man.

Who would you guys pick for next manager of Scotland?
Be realistic
I would go for Tommy Wright
He's a good manager that can do a decent job with not a lot of resources
His team's try to play good football when they can but shut up shop when it's
He lives and works in Scotland so knows all about the Scottish based players so hopefully wouldn't just give a game to anyone just because they've kicked a ball in England.

{Ed033's Note - Wait a minute, won't Rangers be after Tommy Wright after Christmas? πŸ˜„

Get mark Warburton before engurland swoop for him.

Agree1 Disagree2

08 Oct 2017 21:01:35
Jim Duffy or Yogi Hughes.

Agree1 Disagree3

08 Oct 2017 21:26:03
Hughes doesn't know how to build a defence.
Ed0033 I can't believe they never went for Tommy Wright before Pedro. Was a no brainer in my eyes.

Agree1 Disagree2

{Ed033's Note - i think there is speculation (whether correct or not who knows?) that the Rangers board took a gamble that Pedro knew of some cheap decent foreign players that no one in Britain had heard of and those cheap decent foreign players might be able to compete with Celtic.

08 Oct 2017 22:09:11
ED033 gossip I heard that Pedro talked up his contacts in Dubai, and the sevco board members believed he could persuade these said "investors" to bankroll the club, but only if he was the new manager.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Oct 2017 22:19:58
Ed0033 I heard the reason ( again correct or not is anyone's guess) that the reason they are going for foreign is because they can pay in instalments and most British clubs want paid the full whack upfront before selling to them.

In the pub watching Scotland game and my mate's friend says there is a strong rumour that SDM is looking to step back in at ibrokes to replace DK. Can't see it myself but has anyone else heard anything?

{Ed007's Note - It's a strong rumour from a raving nutcase!

There’s definitely something amiss with that person between living in fear of assassination plots,9/ 11 being an Israel cover up and the begging for money he has remarkable similarities to The lying King and we all laugh at them for believing. Sorry Tim.

Kenny Dalglish. He said he wanted the job but had never been approached. I think that is a disgrace.
I sincerely hope Strachan leaves/ is sacked now, because so much about the last two games has be so wrong - his refusal to pick the players in form in the starting eleven, the wrong changes that he made coupled with them being too late in the game and the fact that Philips - who was absolutely dreadful in both games - played the full 180 minutes without making a single, telling contribution.
This was all compounded by the "genetic. too short" stuff. That's just an insult to intelligence.

Is he not still the international talent scout for old co Rangers?

Scotland players are too small, according to Gordon, WGS has a career waiting as a comedy script writer.

It never stopped him beginning a right good player.

I always tried my best to stick up for Strachan when manager of Celtic as he came in for a lot of stick even tho I thought he did a good job in the champions league etc but after watching that Scotland team tonight he should be ashamed of himself. Playing guys like Fletcher, Phillips, McArthur ahead of on form players like McGregor, McGinn and Forrest is a disgrace!

Glad it’s officially over we could finish our season end of may have 6/ 8 players at World Cup then start champions league qualifying games start of July. Gives our players a rest.

To be fair Forrest was p*sh against Slovakia the other night but McGregor and McGinn should have been in there. The problem is the next manager will probably pick all the same failures and it will be the usual story next time.

He's a little stubborn person, should have been sacked after failing in the euros.

WGS will be at home soon with his big bag of crisps and bottle of retirement Irn Bru. Fed up with our players getting injured anyhow. Can't wait to get back to domestic games. Unlucky Scotland but International football just rips ma knitting. COYBIG πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€.

His arrogance attitude always pissed me off. At 60min the game was crying out for a Forrest, mcginn or McGregor. Typical glorious failures. I can vividly remember France 98. The Scotland squad where at Glasgow Airport at the same time as a load of mates and family headed out to Gran Canaria.

The msm where jostling for pics in the airport and filming the stv sport section with Big Shireen Nanjiani. Rite on cue the shout of " Shireen shows yer fanny" had hundreds laughing. The biggest laugh was when one of the young team went about getting a ball signed by all the players until Colin Hendrie was about to sign it. The wee man looked up at him and said "No offence big guy but yer no signing ma ball as yer shite". πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

KT is playing out his skin tonight, superb performance so far.

Strachan not brought McGinn or McGregor on, because he is like a wee kid who doesn't want to be told his selection is wrong.

Agree7 Disagree2

08 Oct 2017 18:45:17
Aindoh you are correct. With strachan its all about him. He is a bitter wee man. Never took to him. He hates the fact that Scotland have improved because the Celtic bhoys have come in. 6 in the team when all fit. He calls up McGregor. No intention of playing him. He will be gone tomorrow and i am pleased. Scotland need to build the team around the celtic squad.

Agree6 Disagree3

08 Oct 2017 18:59:45
McArthur was a lump and Mulgrew was past it about 3 years ago. McGregor would have made a huge impact being that link between the midfield and Griff that was obviously missing. I respect strachan as a person but he needs to move on. The question then is who replaces him? What's your thoughts guys?

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Oct 2017 19:12:39
He's probably been ordered from above not to pick too many Celtic players as it makes Scotland look bad.
I was impressed with both McGinn and McGregor last Saturday, I find it hard to believe that there isn't a space for one of them in Scotland's line up. They haven't got the talent to ignore decent young players like that.

Agree1 Disagree1

Michael oneill.

Don't think he is necessarily anti Celtic, he is pro English league players, and anti Scottish based players, see how often he would keep playing Stephen Fletcher, when he was scoring heehaw, but he was keeping LG out of the team because Griffith's wasn't tall enough, but ever since Griffith's started wearing those platform football boots he is first choice striker.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Oct 2017 20:27:02
Time he stepped aside. He had the chance tonight to add a bit of freshness to the side, ie McGregor and McGinn, instead chooses guys that can't even get a game for their clubs never mind be in any kind of form. He has failed and his time is up.

Hope wee gordon goes with mcginn and mcgregor plenty of legs and goals in them. but he won't be bannon and Fletcher.

I'd play mcginn and McGregor with Fletcher sitting behind them.

He will play that diddy Phillips as well and we be outnumbered and outfought inmidfield all day long.
Strachan and Scotland will get what they deserve - good or bad but I think that referee will also be a problem as I remember him in Europe.

Just about to have a rant but I'll take it back lol.

Looks like even strachan believes that if you play in the English prem your better than your Scottish equivalent. Mcgregor and McGinn are the form players but he "higher calibre players" get the nod.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Oct 2017 18:34:17
MCArthur, Fletcher and Phillips are piss poor so far and why in a million years play the best left back in the country at right back to accommodate the average Robertson?
This just makes sure that both flanks are weakened and Bannon is nullified because he has to cover right back.
I appreciated a lot of what WGS did at Celtic but he does make poor judgement calls and lost the plot early in the group and plays his favourites instead of in-form guys.
