Break the bank and get this guy in as our manager. He’s got a team from a country a fraction of the size of Scotland competing at international level. I’m watching their game against Germany now and they’re doing something I’ve not seen Scotland do for years, they’re having a right good go and they’ve got an absolutely fanatical crowd behind them. Our problems don’t start with the manager, but replacing that dour ******* with a guy that knows how to win games at that level would be a start.
The fact that he was my first hibs legend has nothing to do with my post, but what a class player he was.

Did anyone see the Kosovo coach on TV this morning ? He was wonderful, such passion.

Either way, as I've said on the match thread it doesn't matter who the manager is when he's restricted to working with such a medicore player pool.

Northern Ireland play like Scotland did in 2007 against France & Italy. They are compact, difficult to break down, fight for every ball and are 100% committed to the cause. Plus they still manage to break forward at speed and create chances.
Admittedly Belgium are a quality side. But Scotland just look soft as sh*te. We’ve always traditionally been hard to beat, especially at home, but now we just surrender games with criminal defending.
I was looking at the Scotland line-up when we beat France in Paris. No world class players in the Scotland team that night but they all played like a unit (plus we rode our luck a bit at Times and obviously McFadden’s goal). But the big glaring difference though was the presence of David Weir at the back. A quality experienced defender. Crying out for one at present.
I thought we started very well last night and against Russia. But until we find quality centre halves from somewhere then we ain’t going anywhere.

As 90+2 said, NI had Washington and McGinn starting and a good amount of players from the English Championship. We’ve got Liverpool and Arsenal full backs, Man Utd midfielder, another wanted by Man Utd apparently and Fraser who will probably also end up at a club of a similar stature. Throw in the likes of McGregor and Forrest who could probably play EPL no problem and we should be doing so much better.Last edited by calumhibee1; 10-09-2019 at 07:55 AM.

We'll give him a few games and if he loses any we'll be calling for his head.
The manager is and has never been the problem at Scotland.

Have we really always been traditionally hard to beat? The fact we haven't reached a major finals for nearly 22 years suggests otherwise.

Scotland are like Hibs.No settled team and too much chopping and changing.You’re better with a team of mediocre players who actually know what their fellow players are going to do than one with three or four really good players but nobody knowing who is going to mark who can be relied on to make a tackle,who will make a pass and run on for a return etc.

Somebody on the radio yesterday said he won 1 from his first 18 games. This place would want him sacked within a month of his appointment.
