the brown brogue 1,853 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I cant stand Levein, his smugness seems to have increased 100 fold since he got the Scotland gig.However I dont see anything wrong with either of their articles if all he is saying is that he will use the same rules as every other country in the world to select his squad.

Boab 73 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Fuck up.He is a coach who's job is to do the best for his team.Perhaps he could talk about, praise or encourage youth development while looking to home first.

Broxi 11,440 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not if you are Spanish.spain nah, all this nationality thing is a joke. Things like Andy Carroll qulaifying for Scotland, Shola Ameobi or someone like that also I think.I don't know why I think this but was there a thing a year ago or something that said that novo could play for Scotland? Don't know why I think this. I don't think he could have but I'm sure one of the papers or something thought he could Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NessFTW 40 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Fair play to Levein, wants to make the team better. If he unearth's a beast then he won't be a cock then eh?But yeh in all fairness he does seem a bit smug lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Why?Because that's what you want to hear?Because its right, James Morrison he sees as key but he only wanted us 'he couldn't wait any longer' for England - that's wrong.

I'd rather be shit and have passionate players who dreamt of playing for us than folk who wanted to beef up their CV.In your opinion.....If youth development is doing well I'm sure Levein will praise it It seems that no matter what Levein does, you will criticise him Infact Boab, I'm willing to bet that you will never give any Scotland manager your full backing. You seem to pick a vendetta and bleed it to death no matter who's in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jafrfc 614 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Almost happened under Craig Brown did it not? Or was that parents?Was probably close enough. I don't mind a few players qualifying this way. But the sfa needs to focus on youth development and try bringing players through that way rather than looking abroad for people who qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,732 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 You should have to have at least one parent from the country you intend to play for and you should have self-identified as that nationality your whole life. None of this "my grandmother was Scottish and I'd rather play for England but I'm not good enough so I'll settle for Scotland" bollocks that means we have to watch our good Gers men playing alongside Kris Fucking Commons.

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Why should other nations get away with this and not Scotland? I'd rather we had proper Scots in our team who had learned the game here but until we sort out the game at grassroots we'll never succeed with the donkey's were bringing through.
