Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Scotland probably have the best pool of players available to them and the highest number playing at what could be considered a high level that they have had in about a deacde.The players are not the problem.Best pool of players --- compared to??? The quality of players being produced in Scotland is woeful. It's a sad day when hopes rest on a player the caliber of Charlie Adam. And what about Caldwell and Webster - you cannot be serious. If that is the best the country has to offer no wonder they have failed to qualify for major tournaments for the past 15 years.No the players are not the problem. The system that produces dross is the problem/ Look no further than the SFA and the SPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie1984 18 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 No team built around Charlie Adam is going to qualify for fuck all.You cant blame Charlie for that today, he ran his heart out, even if his corners and free kicks were pish. I thought he done ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTP 221 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Let's be honest, seeing Berra and Webster as a centre half pairing at a world cup would just be fucking comical.Jela will fucking rag doll both of them if he gets the nod against them.

BlueSuedeSambas 56,413 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Allan doesn't get played at club level so why does he warrant a start with the national side?Why does Alan Hutton warrant one then? He's completley frozen out at Aston Villa.I don't think Allan should start either BTW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 75,714 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Typical Levein.Should have went 4-4-2 with Rhodes & Fletcher up top,our best 2 strikers imo.We need to beat either Wales or Serbia (highly unlikely with a 4-6-0 no doubt) away,plus win all our home games to qualify.Fletcher and Rhodes would guarantee goals, no doubt about it but the nation has to suffer because of one prick who ain't got the balls to swallow his pride and get the boy back in.He's bloody brutal and everyone of us know it, why does he still have a job?

King_gazza 1,065 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 We have one. We just can't get the cunt to play.I know mate.Fletcher is easily our best & most clincal finisher. Levein needs to try & get him back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delamonty 992 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Snodgrass, Morrison and Caldwell should be nowhere near a football pitch tbh. If it wasn't for McGregor....Need goals -- we have always struggled to score and we keep our best striker on the bench. Miller -- clearly not sharp. Disappointing result.. but I get the feeling Serbia quite happy with a draw and had plenty more to offer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart54 218 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 In what universe did Scotland get outplayed there?We clearly made enough chances to win the game and should have won the game.Should we?And Serbia didnt?As another another poster said, their goalkeeper had fcuk all to do.Prepare yourself for another piss-poor campaign.

stevie1984 18 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Allan doesn't get played at club level so why does he warrant a start with the national side?Because i think he could do a better job than Morrison. Kenny misser plays in America ffs, and he still gets a start. Allan was a stand out in the U21 game, albeit only against Luxembourg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,710 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 We need a clinical finisher.We've got 2 in Rhodes and Fletcher. What we need is a manager that isn't so full of himself to play them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTP 221 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Playing in America does not make you a bad player btw...Likewise the Scottish third division.Black is a perfectly good holding midfielder but not like a Scottish manager to shoe horn a fucking centre half in there eh. He has to go. Along with the SFA and SPL board and only then, will I actually care again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right_To_Censor 1,951 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 If Naismith was sent off for the elbow and Hutton for the two footed then it would have been 3 points to the Serbs, just again Levine gets away with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTP 221 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 People going on about a striker bagging goals today did they actually create lots of chances that I missed? I don't think they ever looked like scoring bar two chances if I recall.A good striker would have just got frustrated out there with fuck all to work off.
