I don't think that would increase the standard tbh. Most of our players just don't look very good and struggle to run with, or control the ball.. They also look scared of the ball. Not good traits for a football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 That Emslie girl has done more in one minute than half the team have done in 63...Did I really just see an headed clearance and the nearest Scottish player looked around to see if anyone else was going to run out to where the ball was going before she started lumbering out there herself?

The way the commentators were talking it sounds like a lot of them play at a high level in the women's game, I was expecting them to be half decent. Having watched a few games the standard across the whole tournament is very poor, I was expecting better tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's very similar to our men's team and I guess the nature of being a small country with a poor footballing authority. A few good players who look the part at the international stage dragged down by dross in too many key positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joondalupjambo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hold on there chaps and chapesses we are relatively new to this malarky. A senior Scottish players says we need more and more players getting into top teams outwith Scotland so they can get better, well I heard somebody say that today, if not a player then one of the management team. Also Ian Maxwell has assured us that 5% of some big figure of income, from somewhere is going straight back into Women's football in Scotland. He claims that England only put in only 3.5% of the same income figure. I suspect the income figure he talks about for us will be a lot smaller than England's income figure but hey ho let's not get into the detail, focus only on the percentages say the SFA. So we have a player and/or management person saying get out the country to get better and we have Maxwell saying we spend loads of dough inside the country to make our players better. Who is right there then? The only reason Andy Murray became great was because he left Scotland. I know where my money lies in any debate on this, leave.

With Emslie on now it's all the more reason for Little to be further forward, closer to our two main attacking threats. Not much point in damage limitation now. It's goals or bust.

rambothejambo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Emslie had a decent game against England, not sure why she was dropped. She has shown more fight in five mins than the rest if the team in the previous seventy mins. Little and Weir are decent footballers, the two centrehalfs are a pair of huddies, just like the men's team! As an aside did I see England's No.1 Steve Banks as part of the Scotland coaching team?
