Scary Bear Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Fucking hell. Who actually cares, it's his fucking vote. [emoji23] Indeed. Do we have to always pick Ronaldo and Messi? He even picked Messi. What if you prefer to pick the best midfielder or defender, or goalkeeper? That said Modric? Not sure about that one.

Of course nobody would complain about the two clear best players in the world being voted as the two clear best players in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredging this up because I know you like these things. The latest idiom idiocy is "clambering for tickets". I've seen it used before but never seen it defended as it has been on our Cup QF match thread vs Falkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite tickled by the feverish refusal to back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yeah, not really convinced that Strachan saying yes to that would have gotten us the win against Lithuania when we needed it. And not really sure why people seem to continue to be desperate to stick the knife in to him months later. To each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would’ve really changed? You don’t need technology to work out whether players are fit or not ffs. Absolute waste of time. I could understand it being extremely useful for clubs monitoring players fitness levels over the course of a season or a certain period of time but for a one off game or double header who cares.

Think every elite club in the world would disagree with you there. There's also numerous national teams already utilising it, so they clearly see value in it, even if it's only for a week at a time. It's also about more than fitness. For example, you can use the data to track player positions throughout a match and make tactical decisions based on that.

It is quite clearly a problem with the system. No wonder our players are so far behind physically when we aren’t using what every single other country in the home nations is to develop their players at all age groups. It ensures that each player is at their physical peak going into match day but tailoring their training etc. That can’t be done without it and can lead to the marginal gains which can help us to qualify. To call it a waste of time is completely ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re with Scotland a week or two at a time. Also I’ve never ever thought our problems have been anything to do with fitness, if anything that has always been the problem, the problem is usually down to our ability on the ball not the teams fitness levels.

He failed, and nothing is going to change that. We've missed out on a year of potential benefit for something that had presumably been paid for and was being used by other age groups. I don't see anything wrong with reflecting on an issue of a previous manager in the context of an article that only surfaced two days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Also pretty sure that the player's individual clubs that use this or similar systems would be appreciative of any or all data concerning their players when away from their control, whether they've been over/under worked what exercises they should/nt be doing etc!!!

1320Lichtie Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Leave, and never return. I thought that when I read it back but it was too late. It was just what went through my mind when I read the quoted post, even if it sounds like a stroppy child kind of response. I’m all for technology but this is just so pointless in my opinion. Who honestly cares. Total waste of time even complaining about this for me never mind actually using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
