Get McDonald, Mulgrew TF and play the strongest available players. We're too small a nation to be mucking about with experimental sides. Best 11 out there, every game. Sadly for us all I think its clear Mulgrew will be ln the 11 tonight. McLeish has name dropped him a few times in terms of the mistakes issue so I would not be shocked in the slightest to see his name in the 11...I do not think we have much choice in terms of dropping him anyway. The changes will be further up I reckon. Id like to see McTominay in for McDonald because although he has not started for Utd yet, only 4 games in, he is a lot more Mobile than McDonald who looks slower than a week in Jail.

Guest Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I'm sure everyone has some sort of Skeleton or other hiding in their closet and it really is a sad day when the ordinary football fan is wanting or expecting Mother Theresa, Jesus Christ or some other saint like figure as the coach of their football team. Personally I couldn't give a toss who manages us or what their perceived indiscretions may or may not be, the bottom line is results and track record and sadly McLeish has neither but we're stuck with him and as such will need to put up with him so long as the SFA are happy with the appointment. Let's just all pull behind the team and hope they give us a good performance and a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Is that Kevin McDonald meant to be good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Must be my memory but I thought McLeish had a decent record as Scotland manager first time around. He should be given a bit of time this time to see how he does this time. I seriously doubt the first 5 games would have been the fixtures McLeish would have picked to try and sort out his best team over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, taking on games against Belgium & Portugal were just sheer folly by the SFA as what did they seriously think we had to gain ? A good thrashing, dented moral and a further slide down the World Rankings............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Like everyone else, must win game this, it'll be a hard game but we should be beating them at home. I would love for once to just start on the front foot and an early goal, never happens tho, team for me...... McGregor Souttar Mulgrew Tierney Fraser Robertson McGinn Snodgrass Armstrong McGregor Griffiths Wouldn't be too bothered if Forrest came in for Fraser or Snodgrass.

Senor Bairn Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Surely there’s not just 16k going to this? I’m looking quite forward to it for some reason. As long as Mulgrew and McDonald don’t play I think we can get a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 So we agree McLeish shouldn’t be manager we just can’t reach a consensus on why he shouldn’t be manager? I quite like Mulgrew as a player but he looked disinterested against Belgium, if he starts tonight he will need to be focussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything he utters in public these days. I don't mean to sound glib, but I am constantly left with the impression that he is either pished or seriously unwell. F*ck knows how the players can take instruction from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't his job to register his contract with the governing bodies. When a player is incorrectly registered for a competition (happens almost every year in cup ties) and found out after the game is the player a cheat? Your stance on this is quite interesting,if you look at the EBT list watty and sally are not on it so for me this was a conscious choice for McLeish and a bad one plus with him walking away from the Scotland job the first time it's showing a lack of commitment to the cause,so apart from him being a shit manager he also makes bad choices and lacks commitment for me this will rub off on the players.

Allegedley scouting, seems a bit murky though given he bought a few players from Rangers at that time. 2 minutes ago, wastecoatwilly said: Watty came back in 2007 EBT's where still in use until 2011,anyway i don't want to hi-jack this thread,we both agree that McLeish should be nowhere near this Scotland team. The last ebt contracts were given out in 2007 though Going by google, Im guessing 2011 meant some were 4 year deals. But yes Mcleish should be nowehere near the team regardless.

No it doesn't. The national team I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
