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.

LMS 11 Week 4 Fixtures
Good Evening Contenders, and congratulations to those who managed to negotiate a very tough set of International fixtures this weekend ( and those still waiting for one games result ) , and make it through to Week 4.
For those of us unlucky enough to pick Scotland, or any other bunch of losers this weekend, this is the last opportunity you have to ‘buy back’ your history, and stay in the competition. A tidy sum of money to be won, just in time for Christmas, probably. And of course, you will also be supporting some very worthwhile causes,.
For week 4, we return to Domestic football, and our selection comes from the top flights in Scotland and England.
Remember, your pick must be made prior to Kick off in your selected game, and should be e-mailed to cqnpredictor@gmail.com
My Pick for this week is LIVERPOOL
The pick for Celticrollercoaster is KILMARNOCK
Good Luck !
P.S. If you ave already bowed out of the competition, and no longer wish to receive e-mails, drop me an ‘unsubscribe’ note and I’ll make sure I don’t pester you any more :-)

Engineering work is taking place between Larbert and Gleneagles, closing all lines.
I’m looking for a spare for the Cup Semi Final in Murrayfield. Don’t qualify under the current conditions. Booked to travel over on the basis that it was a league weekend.
Saint Stivs
Great foto and spot of Billy Connolly.
Is that Elton John just in front of him ?
HS
There is major line electrification work ongoing, I drove past Stirling train station earlier today, lots of work going on, I believe they may be either removing or installing a new bridge soon
Maybe something to do with this work ?
David 17
Thank you.
Goodnight all,
JJ
…and thanks, Norriem, too.

Incidentally- thank God that international nonsense is over ( spellcheck not recognising my original description)
Does anyone know the crowd attendance at todays big game?
JIMTHETIM53
mostly of an non-celtic persuation
Italia should be winning this
just as Polska miss a great chance
Gene, good luck with that thing you are going to do. Hope you keep us updated like recently.
Anyone remember playing ‘best faller’ back in the 50s / 60s – well football is dong it in spades
JIMTHETIM53
will do -the fact i suffer from Plantar fasciitis (pain under the heel) will be a challenge.
Gene, Don’t worry, I will take a couple of Paracetemol for you. (as if, I take them a lot for stress pains in the back of my neck! But I will hope they are dual purpose!)
What is the Stars
Yes, I live in Scotland, and would appreciate your kind offer.
I will pay for any postage costs.
Could you get my e-mail address from Paul67 ?
JIMTHETIM53
I’ll be fine – done a lot of training apart from last 3 weeks .
Forza Italia
Good evening all from the Govanhill ship of fools.
