Naw because we will have Chris Wibble Wobble over Kris Boyd.
It'll be interesting to see what George Buckfast does when it comes to March and he has to pick a squad and Boyd has 30 SPL goals. Also to see if Fletcher gets a game when he hasn't startedfor his club since October. If Scott Brown continues to get a game despite the fact hes shite and the media can't see it.
He'll probably start Ross McCormack against Holland too despite the fact hes never started.

Yes, cause that's not the least bit biased...
Fletcher will probably play plenty for Man Utd in that time as has been playing well since the start of the season, although I've never been impressed by him at international level (unless you were meaning Steven Fletcher). Scott Brown is kinda the opposite in that he has been pretty poor for Ceptik, but has put in some good preformances for the national side & was one of our best players Vs. Norway.
That's my opinon....
What happened with el diego and butcher. did diego offer him his hand and if so did butcher shake it or refuse?

I've never seen an SPL thread so i thought i'd come in here for this. Firstly just going to stress that this question isn't me taking a dig at Scottish football and I am genuinely curious when asking this.
Anyway, what I'd like to know from you scottish football followers is how many players in the spl do you think could move to the England League and be regarded as relatively good England League footballers. I don't wanna hear "well if *insert shit premier league footballers name* can play in the premier league so can *insert shit spl footballers name* :lol: They don't have to be guys that would set the league alight but just be competent at playing at that level and be regarded as reasonably good premier league footballers.
Fire away .. ;)
Sorry to bump this thread but before my above post falls into obscurity I was wondering if anyone has any answers for me.

Well Lee McCulloch did it a few years back, i'm not saying he could now but.......
If Ferguson and McManus aren't fit the team could look something like:
McGregor
Alexander Barr Berra Naysmith
Caldwell
Brown Rae Fletcher Morrison
Miller

love how you can get a guy like Beckham, who is willing to travel from America just to sit on the bench. Then you get twats like Chris Boyd spitting his dummy when hes not a first teamer for the National Side. Imagine England had so many first teamers withdraw from the lineup, someone would get shot
At least scotland have better choice of Goal Keepers :P England shite on scotland on everyother department
McGregor
Alexander Caldwell Berra Naysmith
Teale Brown Flecther Ferguson McCormack
Miller
Dear lord, Alexander and Teale against Robben. I'm away to stick a tenner on Holland 6-0.

I got bored after awhile, couldn't keep watching. Scotland just feel to pieces, started off nicely though! Kenny Miller should of shot before he got tackled, might of scored if he struck it.
Holland was pretty mighty and played some good stuff.
Decent result, that's McFadden missing the Holland match we shouldn't have to rely on beating the Dutch though, Burnley is a twat!
Faddys goal was something out of PES :)

Even if we beat Holland, our chances of us making the play offs are very slim and thats just the fucking play offs. If we hadn't fucked up against Norway at home even we would be in much better shape. Burley's team selections have been nothing short of atrocious, we were pish first half today much better after the goal and the game opened up.
I think Maloney will replace McFadden, hope Alexander gets dropped because hes rotten. Darren Fletcher once again did nothing in a Scotland shirt and why Davidson started I have no idea. Also wonder which centre half will be dropped for Caldwell, no doubt it will all depend on what Burley's been drinking tonight.
Yeah your right we should be home and dry and we should never have players like Teale, Alexander, Davidson in the squad. Whittaker should start. He is a class a moron like. It was clear to see how much pressure he was under his celebrations were unreal, fucking arse, as if we had beaten Brazil.
Well Strachan would be bookies favourite to take over if he did get sacked. I'd like to have Souness nobody would agree and sure his domestic team management has went down but he's no nonsense and if yer shit, ye'd be dumped.

Souness isnt suitable for the job because he wants to work from england, he has a cash cow in sky sports and probably will get paid more working for them, than the sfa. Souness is a fake scotsman. him , charlie nicholson and alan hansen should go bowling.

Well said Souness has always been a money grabbing conman only in it for the money. He was right that he'd ditch the players but only cos HE wants to be the main man.
Working from England half our team play in England anyway, Burley doesn't command respect, Brown needs to be put on a leash that's the 2nd game in a row he's fucked us up. Yes maybe he likes to be the main man/boss but that's how it should be. He says he'd be interested and doubt he'll get more than Vogts did.
Souness a fake Scotman? Celtic supporters? Oh! the irony!

I don't know that Burley doesn't command respect. The 2nd half performance showed a team willing to win. It was unforunate we got hammered against Norway. I thought we were the equal of Norway till Caldwell got sent off.
McFadden is really class though. He should have started against Norway and any other game.
The game against the Dutch is going to be tough. We have to close them down and get in their faces. They can be unpredictable so I'm hoping they'll have a bad day at the office on Wednesday.

Souness won't take it because the SFA chose Burley ove him and never told him in person and he said he'd rather work for Sky.
As for "fake" Scotsman at least they never turned their back on their country. :rolleyes:
McFadden is really class though. He should have started against Norway and any other game..
Hes a right greedy bastard though, the number of times he lost the ball when there was a pass on was shocking. Even his goal, which was very good I might add was pretty greedy as he had players to his left and right. A proper manager would try and get him to be more of a team player.

We'll see how much we miss McFadden on Wednesday.
He is our most creative player.
He can't choose the right team, he's fucking hopeless, to be the Scottish manager you have to do 'ok with a Championship team' then have a good 6 months at Hearts. He's balls. He gave Iwelumo a go without even blooding him into the team through a friendly and left the best finisher Scotland has on the bench (note, Boyd has scored for Scotland)
Alexander who at 37 has been been given the job of defensive midfielder which means he has to close down throughout the match, his positional sense is utter shite too. Davidson i mean what the fuck, we must have a better left back than him.
We have to face it we won't get a playoff so i hope Burley fucks Weir over and plays the two scrum halfs at the back.
Nacho Novo for Scotland anyone?

Even if Holland played a 3rd string team I doubt Scotland has enough to win

can see McManus getting found out
can see Brown coming off with that ankle injury
can't see Flecture because hes the fucking invisible man for scotland
I hope Holland don't go gun ho at the start on the flanks anyway, Hutton and Whittaker usually need 10 minutes to ease into the game.

McManus isn't fit although I still don't know if a half fit McManus is any better than Caldwell.
Flecther is useless for Scotland, don't think I've ever seen him have a decent game. I think they should let him do what he does for Man Utd instead of trying to make him the playmaker because he obviously can't do it.
Gordon doesn't make it so that means Marshall will be playing, the same Marshall that shipped 4 against Norway, 5 against Artmedia and got Norwich relegated from the Championship last season. :(
What did people make of the game then?
Gun_Runner
10-09-2009, 17:16
again, we rue our missed opportunity's ...Miller's in the 1st half, Iwelumo (sp?) against Norway in Hampden...same old story!
I cant believe Charlie Nicholas tried to blame Kris Boyd haha. That's laughable he's not been involved with the squad for over a year & if they needed him so bad why wasn't Burley playing him at all?

Its was a good performance with a very unlucky score.
You Scots had some decent chances, Miller in particular; how he missed that 2nd chance effort after that shot hit the post I'll never know. Our defense is shoddy, Mathijsen in particular is allowed to make mistakes time and time again without someone throwing some big rocks at him, and Ooijer can only be relied on to occasionally complain to the referee. Then again Robben missed some sitters, Huntelaar should have started instead of Kuyt (at all times) and De Jong and De Zeeuw aren't the best of partners.
And Fletcher is really a cunt, that can't just be me who thinks that right?
CRISSGRAN

I think the same thing about Van Persie :P
No problem there, it's quite obvious Van Persie has something nasty about him but you never hear that kind of thing about Fletcher.

I've always thought this, but I don't think he's ever done anything wrong. It's probably his look.

It's never something quite as obvious, he does a few things here and there that build up an image with the observant viewer but all in all I think he's close to your garden-variety footballer in terms of dirtiness.

It was a cracking battle between Fletcher and Van Persie. I think most people would say Van Persie is a more gifted footballer, but Fletcher out played him in that game. Van Persie's foul was quite vicous. I don't think I am being biased in saying that Fletchers enthusiasm to do well sometimes his tackles can look a bit rash.

It was the best we've played but too little, too late for me and most fans.
Burleys record was shoddy. But we have to look at the big picture from me most of the SFA chiefs need to take a run and fuck off, they are useless and George Peats needs to die, to blame Iwelumo is a joke. I'm sure he must have favoured Burley when he applied, so he's backed the muppet who played him.
Charlie Nicholas moans about Boyd, McGregor and Ferguson (in fairness he did mention the other lads in the 'Boozegate' scandal got let off) but all guilty parties should have had backlash and not Shagger and Fergie. As for Boyd well i'd be honest if this was done to me being left out for a player who hasn't even played a match for Scotland i'd tell him to fuck off as well. It showed the ineptitude of our manager who has gave other players starting roles who haven't been 'consistant' for their club.
For anyone who says Iwelumo and Millers chances were the same, really? please look at the replays. Miller was going to score now im not a striker but i'd say near enough all strikers would do the same he's just thinking tap it in, no expectations of the keeper pouncing across like that, he wouldn't be getting grief if it were, Boruc, Given, Buffon or Casillas had done exactly what Worm did, it was just great keeping. Iwelumo never got it on target.
What i will say is that is the team what it should really be heading too, with a few changes, Thompson in for Hartley, Possibly Berra for Weir although it'll be Caldwell.
Players like Commons, Davidson, Alexander offer nothing for me in this team.
Thought Fletcher played his best match, which shows he can do something for the team, please with Browns temprement too.
Fuck sake, 3 wins in 12 and he gets kept on? unreal
Good he's been sacked, hopeless cunt. Now only if half the board would fuck off we might move forward.

Although no-one likes them, I felt sorry for Scotland yesterday for what was a complete dive from Rezek. Berra's was almost as bad but it could be argued that there was a bit of contact.
Then I realised I'd put money on a 2-2 draw at 14/1! Cheers Rezek!

I know its bad, the guy completely dived, but there was that Liechtenstein game, where Scotland scored a last minute winner in the 8th minute of stoppage time, when there clearly wasn't 8 minutes.
EDIT: After watching the highlights you could argue the Czech's should have had a first half penalty.

That Liechtenstein game repulsed me. I would like to say I felt for the Scots but I simply tossed back my head, laughed, waited and then laughed again when they didn't get the pen at the other end.

How do you know that nobody likes us? Or is that just your personal opinion? I'll let you know that the Scots are welcomed all over the world, the Tartan Army are always well behaved. Also, well done on the bet, I thought it was going to be a typical low scoring match.
The majority of people on this forum are c**ts (myself included) and I assume do not like them.
Cheers. Also had Darren Fletcher to score first at something ludicrous like 25/1. Gutted that he did score but not the first goal :(
