TyphoonJambo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 9 hours ago, Rudy T said: I listened to McLeish after the game, that is a man who has no clue what he's doing and just trying to stay in a job for as long as he can before the inevitable pay off. How he can go to the opening away fixture of a euro campaign and put out that team is beyond me. Doesn't matter how many games that team have lost you go there set up to be tight for the first 20 minutes let the players settle and suss out the opposition. Get a foot hold in the game and make changes second half to win you the game. We had no decent full backs so play 3 at the back with forrest and McGinn as the wide midfielders, get McTominay or even Shinnie into the defensive midfield spot and then you have the choice of McGregor/Armstrong/Burke/McBurrnie et al as your attackers. We basically set up like a training game with attack v Defense and got horsed! This is one of the best young squads we've had, the competent dicks at the SFA have to go out and get a manager who has experience of international football with a track record of of working with young players. Actually spend some money on a real coach not these tired old dinosaurs who just want a pension top up. I just wish the tartan army and those who go to the home games would just stop for one game leave hampden empty until the SFA take action. Our results under McLeish are shocking and beating Albania and Israel to seek through that nations league thing doesn't detract from his shambolic record.

ToadKiller Dog Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Any half decent European manager with a good tactical brain would improve Scotland. Feck the Czech guy in charge of Kazakhstan would improve us. But change is almost impossible in scottish football, I still imagine the xenophobic crap that Berti Vogts faced (let's laugh at his funny accent), would still be prelevent in many in our football media. Scottish football managers still stuck in the fantasy of the Largs mafia bull of Great Scottish managers, Ferguson was the last great scottish manager when he retired he was the end of an era of a Scottish manager type .

I went to every competitive home international for the best part of 20 years when i lived in Scotland and i can barely even watch the current disgrace that is our national team. They sacked Strachan just when he started to turn things around and have us looking like a team and replaced him with a hapless old jakey who is way past being useful. The players are quite frankly pathetic. When guy's like John McGinn are your starting central midfielders, you can see how far we've fallen even from the days of Fletcher, Brown, Ferguson etc. Not sure what we should do to improve things because the players we have available are so poor. We're the worst we've ever been and there's no light at the end of the tunnel to be positive about. Unlike many Hearts fans I believe that McGinn could easily be as good as Fletcher, Brown and Ferguson eventually, but any of these three on Thursday would have tried to take the game by the scruff of the neck and say, "come on lads, we're better than this." What we got instead were players shrinking into their shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Mac52 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 23 hours ago, kila said: How do we get rid of Rod Petrie? He is next in line to be SFA President, could happen in a few months Good article in the Scotsman by Stephen Halliday this morning making that very point. The Scotsman After Thursday’s fiasco in Kazakhstan, those Tartan Army foot soldiers who somehow remain resolutely committed to following Scotland wherever they go must be eyeing their remaining travel itineraries on the Euro 2020 campaign trail with a sense of dread. If we can still assume that even Alex McLeish’s beleaguered squad will avoid further damage to their battered reputation when they face the world’s worst international team in San Marino tomorrow, then the next road trip with the potential for serious pain for Scotland supporters comes on 11 June. That’s when the Scots will face the brilliant Belgian side currently No 1 in the Fifa world rankings. But if that’s a date to be approached with genuine foreboding, it’s a less trailed event on the Scottish football calendar 24 hours later which could be just as significant in the ongoing malaise which has enveloped the country’s national team. On 12 June, the Scottish FA will hold its annual general meeting where, as things stand, Rod Petrie is poised to be elected unopposed as the governing body’s new president. There remains a possibility someone may lay down a challenge to the Hibernian chairman’s right of accession to the role. Rival candidates have until 31 March to lodge their intention to stand against Petrie and it’s understood there are some on Hampden’s sixth floor, perhaps further down the corridor in the offices of the Scottish Professional Football League, who are keen to see a contest rather than a simple coronation. Because for many of those keen to see progressive change at the top of Scottish football, Petrie is perceived as very much part of the problem. He was instrumental in the appointment of McLeish as national team manager in February last year, a recruitment process which became excruciatingly ham-fisted after the protracted and failed bid to persuade No 1 target Michael O’Neill to take the job. The decision to give it to McLeish, who had been out of work for almost two years, left the Scotland support underwhelmed to say the least. On the evidence of the execrable performance and defeat in Kazakhstan, it now looks like a major error of judgment on Petrie’s part. A member of the Scottish FA board since 2007, his path to the presidency has been mapped out for some time. But if they hope to rid themselves of their cliched image as an old boys’ network, then the established practice of simply passing the chains of office down the line should be stopped. That might be acceptable if being president of the Scottish FA was purely a ceremonial role. It isn’t. It is a position of considerable influence, including holding the casting vote in the event of a tied vote among the Scottish FA board of directors who are the final authority on any major decisions – including the hiring and firing of managers. Those who championed the credentials of Ian Maxwell when he was appointed chief executive of the Scottish FA last May painted the picture of a forward-thinking reformer, someone who could shake up the administration of the game for the better. The former Partick Thistle managing director has kept a relatively low profile while getting his feet under the table at Hampden. In fairness to Maxwell, his in-tray included myriad other legacy issues to deal with, including the future of the national stadium itself and the review of historical cases of child abuse. But like all of his predecessors as chief executive, Maxwell will ultimately be judged on the success or otherwise of the men’s national team. He inherited the appointment of McLeish but must lead the process of finding a replacement for him when the time comes, perhaps now sooner rather than later. It is Maxwell’s neck which will be on the line and he may well be asking himself if the system of hierarchy at the Scottish FA is fit for purpose in an organisation which had a turnover of £38.4 million last year. Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, who stepped down from the Scottish FA board two years ago, publicly raised exactly that question in the wake of Stewart Regan’s resignation as chief executive last year. While Lawwell insisted there was nothing to be gained by “personalising” the issue, there was little doubt who he was referring to when he criticised those “who have presided over the SFA for a number of years” and called for a restructuring at the top of the organisation. If Petrie simply ascends unchallenged to the presidency on 12 June, then any hope Lawwell or anyone else harbours for meaningful change in the way Scottish football is run will probably remain unfulfilled.

Cruyff Turn Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Strachan ripping into everyone. Agree almost entirely with him, especially about clubs and academy players, “no bad” isn’t going to cut it, spot on. At at the moment there’s naff all cutting it. Even at Hearts, I wouldn’t say any young player at Hearts, with promise, is going to be a guaranteed first team player at 23 years old, or, if they are good enough, to get a move to a better level. It just seems that all of these academies, all the fancy programmes, all that stuff is just a waste of time, when 22/23 years ago Gary Naysmith walked into our first team at 17 years old looking like he had played there for 10 years and there wasn’t any of that. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/scotland/gordon-strachan-selfish-clubs-are-to-blame-for-scotland-woe-1-4897168 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same shit everytime, sack the manager, take the heat of them and they can slither back to their desks to make a colossal erse of something else. It simply won’t wash.
