I know what you are worried about after last night’s Scotland performance, “He’s going to throw James Forrest in now.” My feeling on the matter is that James, Callum and Kieran all need to ‘work on their fitness’ a bit.
Since managing Scotland for a few months in 2007, a period that included a 0-1 win in Paris, Alex McLeish has been found out in five subsequent appointments, ending ignominiously in North Africa. He has the look of what he is, a man earning enough to make good on a tax bill that recently came his way, and nothing else. Nice gig if you can get it. He also selects players who are banned for life from the national team.
Scotland have the players to beat the 94th team in the world but were not sufficiently competent to fix up a manager who already lives in the country but manages in Belfast, or conduct an adequate search for an alternative.
The result of this, is that fans stopped caring, as do many players, by the look of it. I don’t know a single person who was upset last night, the Scotland international football fascination is over. The once great endeavour of football as a self-contained unit in Scotland is over, everybody knows it. Send our players back to Lennoxtown as soon as possible, please.

TWO referees who took charge of crunch Celtic Euro ties have been nicked by cops as part of a massive footie corruption scandal.
Belgian whistlers Bart Vertenten, 30, and Sebastien Delferiere, 37, were hauled in for questioning amid bombshell match-fixing and bribery allegations.

TONTINE TIM. Liverpool supporting friend of mine, keeps going on about the stein Shankly busby era, and how we won it in 67, busby won it in 68. and how Liverpool were cheated in 66, too young to remember 66 what happened.hh.
*eff them, naw double and treble eff the scouse gits, we were cheated in the semi when the cowardly Belgian ref chalked off a Buzz Bomb a perfectly legit goal in the dying minutes and then later claimed his fear of the crowd made him dae it.
The ball came through from midfield and Joe McGoals was furthest forward with big Ron Yeats at his back, he flicked the ball beyond him and Bobby who had started his run five yards behind him, ran past both of them to score but the sprout gave offside.
Our fans did react distastefully launching bottles ontae the pitch, after the game shanks sarcastically said tae the big Mhan that we didnae have tae give them payment for the tickets as they would just take the empties back.
Jock was not amused and remarked about how could he be happy winning a game that way and we widnae have wanted it unfairly.
As for the final, well there would have been more than 40,000 no matter how dreich the weather was and i have no doubt we would have beat Borussia. This game was only 11 years after the end of WWII and there were plenty of Celtic supporting former POWs cheering on the Third Reich that night, same scenario occurred at the WC a couple of months later.
Looking back at that season which IMHO was our best as it set us up for greatness. We chased 4 trophies, won 2 and were cheated out of one and only poor finishing in both the SC final and replay plus a big blooter fae a lump of Danish back bacon cost us the other.
In hindsight it may have been for the best as had we won the quadruple that season the following one might not have occurred as most teams would have been aware of us.
Prior tae both Liverpool games former deid team right winger alice scott who was playing for Everton at the time was asked what fans scared him the most, the ones in the kop or the Jungle. His response was the Jungle as although the kop were passionate the Jungleites were scary and if a ball went out for a shy there you didnae go for it in case they pulled you in. What a lot of scheidt, even back then.

Wave Hill Cattle Station is located approximately 600 km south of Darwin in the Northern Territory. From the late nineteenth century it was run by the British pastoral company, Vesteys. Vesteys employed the local Indigenous people, the Gurindji, to work on Wave Hill. But working conditions were extremely poor and wages were very low when compared to those of non Indigenous employees.
In 1966, Lingiari, a member of the Gurindji had worked at Wave Hill, and recently returned from a period of hospitalisation in Darwin, led a walk-off of indigenous employees of Wave Hill as a protest against the work and conditions. While there had been complaints from Indigenous employees about conditions on Wave Hill over many years, including an inquiry during the 1930s that was critical of Vestey’s employment practices, the walk-off had a focus that was aimed at a wider target than Vestey’s. Before 1968 it was illegal to pay an indigenous worker more than a specified amount in goods and money. In many cases, the government benefits for which Indigenous employees were eligible were paid into pastoral companies’ accounts, rather than to the individuals.
The protesters established the Wattle Creek Camp and demanded the return of some of their traditional lands. Speaking on this Lingiari said, “We want to live on our land, our way”.[4] So began the eight-year fight by the Gurindji people to obtain title to their land.

How many trophies hiv been stripped noo then ?
Anywye,….
Instead of the Cellic support, backed by mountain’s of evidence of, hun / SFA collusion to cheat Celtic supporters, instead of hammering the stake through the heart of the cheating hun, by refusing to buy tickets for the return of the Old Firm games, the Celtic support queued up to buy the cheating hun monster, a £49 meal, just to show the cheating hun monster that the Celtic supporters, have moved on.
Ye see, these £49 Celtic supporters, thought that they would be smug, smug like green huns, looking forward to the return of the Old Firm games, because it would be fun, especially with Brendan in the dug oot, oh the larks. But, they didn’t stop for one minute to realize that, they might just, be being played, by the PLC board. Did they not counsel themselves to think, or to ask, what are they PLC characters up to ? Why were the PLC board going from, Ronny, to £45 k a week Brendan ? What were they really up to ?
But, the PLC knew that the Celtic supporters would act like green huns, blind sided by the Brendan bounce, little realizing that, Brendan was recruited by the PLC to sugar coat the £49 Old Firm tickets, and get the Old Firm game back onto the fixture list again, without any Celtic supporters, empty seat rebellions, from the Celtic support, the PLC needn’t have worried, because the PLC got the measure of the Celtic support, when the support swallowed the entire LNS swindle, by voting the complicit, kowtowing Celtic PLC board, back into office the following season. At that very moment, the PLC knew that they had the Celtic supports number.
The ghosts of the Jungle wept.
Anywye,….
I’m away to my bed noo, awe content, in the knowledge that, at least the PLC board urny shafting me, after they’ve emptied my bank account. √

Your analysis certainly sheds a different light on our defeat.
Interesting to see Hibs stats against us so favourable compared to most other Scottish teams. Whets the appetite for our upcoming game against them in paradise, should be a cracking game, cheers.
