five wan Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Just been watching the TV show pointless. One of the Questions was name a previous national Scotland football manager? I thought of 2 who may have had zero points Andy Roxburgh and Bertie Vogts but I was wrong, anybody got any ideas? ( by the way our Craig was a pointless answer) (by the way I am not a Levein lover or hater) Edited July 21, 2018 by five wan Clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicTs Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Andy Roxburgh took Scotland to both the 1990 World Cup and 1992 (only 8 teams) European Championships!

Take away the Costa Rica and Morocco games, the rest of the performances at the major tournaments were very good and we were unlucky not to get out the group stage.

mitch41 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 All i've been thinking about is what if the league cup wasn't the start of our season and we'd of played Hamilton & Celtic in our first 2 games. At Cove Rangers & Raith Rovers we have shown we have a long way to go in tactics (3 at the back) , No width up the right, goal scoring, midfield control ect. I'm really worried that Levein hasn't got playing away from home right just like last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not totally to blame, but in my opinion the decline started with him (and to a lesser extent, Roxburgh before him). They both had better players than we do now, in relative terms anyway, but there was too much reliance on old heads and no plans for the future. It annoys me when the media roll out Craig Brown when a Euros or a World Cup comes around proclaiming that he was the last manager to lead us to the finals, because as far as I'm concerned, we've never really recovered from the state he left the national team in.

jamtartan74 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I watched the programme and chuffed to say that I guessed right the Levein would be pointless also guessed sammy mcilroy for Northern Ireland off the top of my head which being a bit drunk isn’t very good, I think Levein tommy docherty bobby brown and onevor two others were the pointless answers, only went from 1960 odds to 2016 though I think.
