sjc Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 A wee insight into what you're up against Scotland: Here in Japan every high school kid from 11yo that picks football as their "club activity" receives 1-2hours coaching Monday to Friday and all day Sunday either training or playing a game against a rival school. After the best school in the Prefecture (Region) is decided over the year, said school goes on to play the other best school Prefectures in a knock out competition which is shown live on TV in December. They do the same for baseball and rugby. Anyone complaining about the cost should bear in mind that since the Asian stock market crash in 97, Japan has one of the highest debt to GDP rates on the planet.

Nah, it's their loyalty that allows these p***ks to perpetuate the shite, hit them where it hurts, let Scotland play home games in empty stadiums until the beaks start implementing a proper plan to improve our game.

mylothedog Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 He sounded like Teresa May there. We started brightly he lied. 2 down in 9 minutes. It was the worst ever result in history. Like Mays deal. He then blamed all his players. Least he knows how to remove us from Europe quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The usual discussions about developing players, kids playing football and the standard and nature of coaching in this country are of course relevant here, but the fact is that we fielded a team of players today more than good enough to beat Kazakhstan. Fucking Kazakhstan. We've got a decent pool of players at our disposal; right-back and possibly up front aside, either established players of a very decent quality or young players progressing well at their clubs make up the bulk of our squad. We didn't lose this game today because nine-year-olds are playing eleven-a-side with full-sized goals, nor because games consoles and YouTube have stolen some of football's market share as the extra-curricular activities of our kids. We lost it because we've got a complete joke of a governing body which has been failing us for a long time now, and in the past decade pretty glaringly so across the board. A governing body which failed to appoint a genuinely interested party who looked the perfect fit in favour of a guy whose sell-by date has long since passed.

It's the National side that needs boycotting for this plan to oust the "beaks" to work. Scotland is still relatively well supported comparatively......sadly.

Ah the old population argument....... Croatia, Iceland etc etc. As for Japan being shite.......they made to knock out stages of last year's World Cup and put up a pretty decent show v Belgium. We'll see soon enough how Scotland do in a competitive game versus them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Everyone is moaning but the reality is that if you have two centre backs with less than 100 top level appearances between them, a right back who has never held down a first team spot for any length of time in the English lower leagues and a left back who is a mediocre midfielder who specialises in being a better looking Scott Brown then you are not going to win anywhere. If Robertson, Tierney and Mulgrew bother their arse to play and it's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Cole Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Got shouted down by a few earlier. Apparently, just cos you play in the English Premiership, doesn’t make you that good. For various reasons we were missing 10 English Premiership regulars today and we all saw what happened. You cannot miss out on quality like that and expect everything to be okay. The opposition were totally underestimated. We have a specialist defensive midfielder in McTominay. Good enough to help Man Utd win 5 games in a row and beat PSG away from home. But not good enough for Scotland. Says it all really. McLeish must go and he must go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
