bauba30 1 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 from bbcFrance coach Raymond Domenech has accused former Scotland manager Walter Smith of betraying his country. Smith left his role as national coach on 10 January to succeed Paul Le Guen as manager of Rangers. "That's not club before country, that's bank account before country," the French coach said. "In terms of sporting ethics I think it's a shame he has the right to abandon them like that. He is laughing in the players' faces." Smith led Scotland to a memorable victory over France in their Euro 2008 qualifier at Hampden in October. But Domenech accused the new Rangers manager of taking advantage of Scotland's recent resurgence to further his own career. "It's scandalous. He's taken advantage of the momentum they've given him and then dropped them," Domenech said. "After all the hard work they've put in, he's left all of them." Walter Smith left Scotland to begin his second spell at Rangers Domenech said he believed Smith's departure could prove fatal to Scotland's Euro 2008 hopes. When he joined Rangers, Smith said the Ibrox club were willing to offer him security that was not forthcoming in his role as Scotland manager. "Rangers have offered me employment for the next three years," Smith said. "My job with Scotland was going to finish in November if we didn't qualify for the European Championship. I had to look after myself." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He resorted to blaming our 'boy balls' ermm the Ball Boys.A waste of skin? I have absolute bloody contempt for that man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Manticore Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 The thing is, this is yet another Anti Rangers myth in the making.When Scotland get knocked out Wattie'll be in for a shedload of blame.Some 'Tartan Army' fud at the weekend was talking about him walking out 'just when we're on the verge of qualifying'.

nvager 498 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Walter should be thanked for what he did for Scotland and not pilloried.That French fud is unhappy he cannot get back at Walter in Paris. The Tartan Army guy seems to be one with little faith in his team under new management.Makes you wonder if people actually think before they speak.
