None of my football supporting mates watched the game last night. I have mates who are season ticket holders at Easter Road and Tynecastle and not one peraon cared. It really is pathetic. The worst appointment ever was big Eck.

If the SFA is made up of club chairmen and directors, how do we have a clear out of them?
They all leave and we bring in 12 or so other chairmen from different clubs? Will that really change things?

Two campaigns - Two failures.
One of which saw us finish 4th when 3 places were up for grabs, finishing behind a huddy filled Irish squad.

Don't think it is an age thing because there are plenty of successful older managers and coaches.
He just appears totally out of touch and incompetent.
Tactically he looks miles off the pace.
Needs replaced, and quick.

At least there's only one more non-event and then we can forget about this non-football team for another few months.

I’d liked to have seen John Collins given the managers job a few years back, and he might have been the one to adopt a more modern outlook to the national team and the general set up. I suspect his time has now gone.

It's quite sad that most people i know couldn't care less about the national team. It's a hinderance that gets in the way of and disrupts domestic football. I'm old enough to remember Euro 96 and France 98 and it was great. Gripped the whole nation. Now, like last night, if Scotland were on TV i'd probably not watch it. It used to be the pinnacle. I don't know what it is. Too many international games/breaks? Constant failure to qualify for anything? Players who are unknown to a lot of people unless they follow English football? who knows but something is seriously wrong. I'd love to get he passion for the national team back. I'm even starting to find folk getting dressed up in kilts and football tops a bit cringy. Never thought i'd say it but even Berti Vogts team was far better than this lot.

Different levels though isn't it, if the Scotland team played as openly as the Scotland team of the 70's we'd get torn every game.

It's nothing to do with playing like the 70s. It's to do with getting the best out of the players available. Until that is done the players can hardly be blamed.

I’m only 25 yet firmly of the view that Scotland having a football team is nothing more than a nuisance.
We’ve been utter garbage for my entire life and there is not one single person in power within the governing body that are remotely interested in trying to improve our national side. If they don’t give a toss, why should we?
Normally I feel a bit crap if Scotland lose but for the first time ever there wasn’t a single flicker of emotion when we lost last night. I’m sure a lot of 20 something Scottish people feel similar.

The biggest problem with Scottish football is it revolves around two clubs.

McLeish is a dinosaur ( IMO ) with a history of failure. His only successes were with us when we splashed the cash on Sauzee, Zitelli, Latapy etc & then Rangers where he & nearly every player was in receipt of an EBT. Here's a thing though, there's been a big stooshie about LG declining to play but off the top of my head I can think of, Cairney, Fraser, MacArthur, Ritchie, Phillips, Bannan, McTominay, Cooper, Snodgrass, either EPL or top championship teams who were not involved last night. Burke also declined to join the U 21s. If the rumours about McLeish singling out LG for criticism are true then that's shameful but we certainly won't improve while players aren't busting a gut to play for their country.

Good try, but that's definitely wrong.
The second "either" is superfluous and makes the sentence clumsy.

No matter how they are set-up or how optimistically we approach games the quality, both individually and as a pool to select from, doesn't exist. Not the players fault.
Look at Soutar last night, a supposed "decent prospect" who is expected to hoof both ball and player for his club but completely lacking the nous and nuance to play in last nights game.

We'll care again when/if we start winning and playing well.

It seems that some of the TA just love to be patronised. "Look how brilliant the Scotland fans are. They look amaaaaazing, and they go everywhere to follow their team". Then they go away shaking their heads and laughing at how pish we actually are on the field.
Last night the 39th ranked team in the world, us, were roundly taken apart by the team ranked 94th. National service my erse.
