RANGERRAB 3,263 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 There was a time when I never missed a Scotland home game but my current apathy I think stems from the national team's shocking record in not having qualified for a major tournament since 1998. They could & should have had second spot for their 2010 WC Qualifying Group & 2012 EC Qualifying Group thus getting into the play-offs. The fact they didn't shows how standards have fallen & just about all the blame should be directed at the SFA in particular their choices of national team managers i.e. Burley & Levein neither of whom had any great managerial record at club level. They only got the job because they were Scottish which shouldn't be a determining factor in the selection of the national team manager. Despite the Vogts fiasco, appointing a foreign manager shouldn't present a problem as many countries do it quite successfully. Scotland should be no different 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Always still supported Scotland and never let the SFA into my thoughts for games other than after the match saying they couldnt pick their noses never mind a manager. Walter apart this is the first popular and decent manager we've had since the 90s (I never rated Craig Brown but he did amazing things when you look back on it, but possibly under achieved). So its a fresh start for this Wales game and I'll be up for it. I wouldnt let mindless so called fans of other teams sway my thoughts either, thats them with the problem. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 What PapaBear said I couldn't put it better. I will admit I cried my eyes out when we lost to England with the Gascoigne goal and the moving ball penalty miss. losing to England was always gutting - especially in the play-offs for Euro whatever it was - but Gazza's goal against us in 96 was the perfect 'bitter/sweet' moment. Yes we were getting beaten (again), but what a goal to get beaten by! and, more, it was scored by a Rangers player. I honestly didn't know whether to weep or cheer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it been any other player id have switched the telly off, to miss the penalty was painful but I actually applauded and said "what a goal". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Bear 0 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The concept that you wouldn't support your own national side is something I can't get my head around. I may not go to the games any more, but I'll always want them to do well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
