Depends if you're into the matches or the storyline.
I'm a matches guy so wouldnt be overly worried about the 2002-2012 ish. More recently check out some of the individual matches, mostly from NXT -
Cesaro vs Zayn 2/3 falls
Neville vs Balor
Bayley vs Sasha
Bayley vs Sasha ironman match
Balor vs Joe
I'm the total opposite! I'd much rather see a top story line, a brutal match in terms of a major beatdown, hardcore, blood etc and I despise PG.
2002 - 2006 the roster was out of this world. Sensational! Brilliant story lines, hot women, proper heated intense rivalries and matches.
My favourite period was 1997 - 2006... 07 - 08 was decent. 09 - 12 was a complete disaster. 13 - now is decent ONLY in terms of the matches, everything else is dull.. story lines are terrible.

So you've seen Scotland struggle against weak teams, so now we win and win comfortably - at least in scoreline - we're not allowed to be in any way positive about it. How dare Strachan say anything like that, what an awful person.
I'm no fan of Strachan. Infact, I think he's a bit of a twat... BUT I totally agree with you here. Was a very good win away from home against a team I honestly thought would have made it nervy for us.
But knowing Strachan, he'll f**k about with the team again come Lithuania and we'll come out with a draw and hopes will be shattered.

I retract my accusation and apologise. I hope you will consider putting McKay on your shirt if i am proved correct.
Don't apoligise, it's your opinion. I just thought your way of backing it up was a bit mental. But aye, if McKay impresses for Rangers in the next month or 2, I'll put him on the back of my next Scotland shirt and give you a formal apology!

This. The likes of Jamie Walker vastly outperformed him at Championship level, and at Premiership level, and is only a year and a bit older.
Walker is better than McKay. But clearly either Strachan is insane (beginning to believe that) or he's getting picked ahead of Walker because of the club he plays for.
Also, no idea how Matt Phillips doesn't get in ahead of McKay or Forrest. Proof that Strachan doesn't use the national pool properly.

No, you hate the club he plays for and are blind as a consequence.
Utter bollocks, mate. Sorry but having that opinion all because most think a mediocre player is mediocre is mental.
I hate Rangers, but I'm a Scotland supporter. And when it comes to the national team my opinions are burely based on a players talent. Nout to do with their club! I had Barry Ferguson on the back of my shirt at one point. I was also McGregor daft.
To pull that opinion out the bag cause no one is agreeing with you is utter bullcrap.

To suggest he is "crap" is ludicrous. You don't get to the level he has achieved at a relatively young age by being a " shit" player.
The boy is obviously talented but will he ever become an established international player remains to be seen.
Let's hope he does. So many people here are far too quick to write off a player based on having seen him in a couple of games, on the telly or, indeed, because of the team he plays for.The level he has achieved? The Scottish Championship? Cause he's yet to turn up to the Premiership.

Seems it's just me and former pros that are talking mince, but you chaps carry on.
I'll believe the Rangers fans I know AND my own eyes over Pat Nevin, mate.
Name me a well-ish known crap player and I'll find you an article of someone calling him 'good'...
But you carry on, fella.

McKay is the most talented Scottish player playing in Scotland. To those that understand football, it's blindingly obvious. It's also obvious he is a central midfielder and not a winger. He has the best first touch and acceleration of any Scottish player in the league, not to mention vision and weight of pass. When he leaves Rangers for a better league this will become abundantly obvious.
You are mental... Sorry, but that's the only explanation for that opinion.
McGinn is streets better and he's playing in the league below, let alone the players that are currently in the same league as him who are better than him.
You're saying we'll notice his talents when he leaves for a better league.. but he is in a better league now than he was last season so surely we should be noticing him now going by that logic? He has been guff for Rangers so far this season, and most Rangers fans I know would have said to you that Halliday was better than McKay last season, so by their opinion he wasn't even the best Scot in Rangers' team let alone in Scotland. I do see potential there, but at this moment in time he should be nowhere near the Scotland squad.

He wouldn't be surprised if McKay and Forrest became regular starters by the end of the campaign? Sure our current starting wingers with FAAAAR more talent are happy to hear that.
McGhee is a p***k.

Despite being a completely different player? McGhee might as well have said he can be the next Andy Goram. I quite see why McGhee comes across as so difficult to like.
ETA: and what's with the constant references to Barrie McKay and James Forrest? They're both useless, and wouldn't be in the squad under a different management set up.Spot on.. McKay and Forrest are garbage.
McKay is NOWHERE near international quality, the fact he's even yet to prove himself in the SPL. Forrest is on form, but up against a full back with pace he's utter shite. Far too easy to read if you can keep up with his pace (which isn't even that fast)
Matt Phillips should be in the squad without a doubt.

It would make a lot more sense than getting raging over something that hasn't (and probably won't) happen.
Ok... We'll see.
But judging by his past selections, I reckon there will be a few cock ups come kick off. Hope i'm wrong, mind. Forrest will start ahead of Burke.

Has Strachan ever benched Snodgrass before?
Forrest is in the form of his life right now, so it's not even like he'd be a bad shout.
By all means rage over mythical team selection a week before the team is even announced though, suit yourselfAm I allowed to rage over Strachan's past team and squad selections though? That cool with you yeah?

Are there any transcripts of that night or even a summarising article? Wouldn't mind a read of it.
I agree that he has to share the blame for our last campaign, I don't agree that he doesn't bother with tactics and just sends out players hoping for the best.
I'll try look out the few videos I made at the night, mate. Sure they'll be on an old phone. I wasn't allowed to film the interview but I got a few videos of him just talking to the few supporters that were there.

Ah sorry mate, thought it was a direct reply to my post.

Seems to have no bother starting regulars Robertson or Hanley in the past, sure Robertson actually broke into the team under Strachan
It's just a daft thing to say, it's not like there's any other young players that are better than what we have getting kept out of the team1. I never mentioned youngsters
2. We do have better players than some that have been included in the squad
3. He did hand Robertson his debut but at the same time dropped him a few times for Forsyth and Whittaker (one of his blunders)
The Ireland away game was crying out for pace. They were there for the taking, and he drops Anya and Robertson. Mental.

Is that an exact quote, aye? Strachan isn't some pub league manager, if you think he just picks players, sends them out there and says "do your best" then there's a screw loose somewhere.
Honestly, I get that some don't like Strachan but why folk feel the need to manufacture reasons to slate him rather than using the blindingly obvious and valid criticisms of him is beyond me.
It is an exact quote, yes. If not exact, then along the lines of what he said as he may have tried to make a 'funny' remark inbetween.
I don't dislike Strachan but the jury is still out on him for me. He is quite right to recieve criticism after the last campaign. Made for too many mental calls when it came to his tactics, team and squad selections.

Barry Ferguson was a top notch player. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know anything about football.
I would also add that he was not world class.Not denying he was a good player. But I am very much denying that he was world class.

Sigh
The point of even saying that?Because it's kind of true... Strachan is tactically moronic. I went to the 'Night with Gordon' thing they had on at Hampden when he first became Scotland manager. Someone asked him what his prefered way of playing is and he replyed with "Just however the players play on the day. I just send them out. They know their jobs." He has no plan what so ever. The players must go out there feeling proper confused.

Aye, won't get a start until he's 25 because he 'just lacks the experience that you need to perform at the highest level' or some such pish.Prehistoric mind-set

You just know Strachan will start with James Forrest, and Burke and Snoddy will be on the bench. Guy's a fucking moron.

Can't believe the amount of mentions Barry Ferguson has got in this thread...
Mental. Surely some are on the wind up?

Probably the best game I've played.
Onto the 'Hearts of Stone' expansion now. Inside the painting thing at the moment and it's giving me the fucking creeps.

Unpopular opinions - wrestling edition
in The Wrestling Forum
Posted
Some of the opinions on here are mental to me, but I guess that's a reason we all love wrestling. the opinions differ so much.
First off, to the guy saying Edge should have only been a mid carder.... you are insane. Edge was phenomenal! He was an all rounder.. fantastic in the ring, on the mic, plenty of charisma and Edge as the Rated R superstar coming to the ring with Lita was absolute gold. Edge has earned all he has achieved and deserves it all.
Ric Flair was not the greatest of all time regardless of what Triple H and Shawn Michaels tells us. Infact, to me he wouldn't even crack my top 10. So many better all rounders (great in the ring, on the mic with plenty charisma) of more recent eras were better than Flair in his prime.
Randy Orton should have stayed the slithering, unpredictable psychopath! That character was sensational. But as usual, WWE's new era of writers chop and change wrestlers' characters too much that it becomes less believable.
Sasha Banks and Bailey aren't as hot as some make out. Infact, Bailey isn't attractive at all!
Kurt Angle was a complete and utter machine. He was also money on the mic and in the ring. One of the best EVER.
Got bored of Brock Lesnar a while ago. Infact I prefered the younger Brock before he left the company the first time around. His matches were actually entertaining at that point.
Never been a Daniel Bryan fan. Ultra cheesy character. Cringey on the mic.. and the YES chant sucks! However his work in the ring was fantastic.
Batista is VERY underrated. He had it all! When he was a good guy he was adored, when he was a bad guy he was a complete b*****d. Entertaining in the ring (without being one of the best) and great on the mic.
PG is awful! Totally awful.. the storylines suck! everything seems so cheesy. Hardcore matches are not hardcore.. No believability to a tense storyline because they aren't allowed to push the hatred to an extreme like they used to. And I'll happily say it, I enjoyed Torrie Wilson, Trish. Keibler etc in bikini's etc!
The Attitude era is the second best era of all time, not the first! The roster, storylines, matches.. infact EVERYTHING was at it's peak around 2001 or 2002 upto 2006. Ruthless Aggression!
I stopped watching WWW around 09 because I genuinely would have rather have watched paint dry... Started watching again when CM Punk dropped the pipe bomb.
CM Punk made me feel like there was a small percentage of my favourite era's still in wrestling. Loved him!
John Cena gets undeserved hate. Yes he has been pushed in our faces for a bit too long now but he's a good worker and excellent on the mic.
Dean Ambrose bores me. Lunatic fringe without being a lunatic... so basically just a fringe. Not that good in the ring however good on the mic.
Charlotte is better in the ring than her dad was.
Although not my favourite at the point when he was on top, I can now appreciate just how good Bret Hart actually was when I watch gis matches back. Sensational! Ring psychology at its finest.
Shawn Michaels deserves to be called the best. If he's not the best, then he is certainly up there. If he is not in everyones top 5 then you are crazy.
Shane McMahon is entertaining as hell. Always has been.. The guy is crazy!
Stone Cold matches were more often than not VERY boring. The Rock was better in the ring, although Triple H was better than them both.
Was never a Benoit fan.. Had zero personality. In ring work isn't everything to me which is why I'm probably not a huge fan of the WWE atm as that's all they provide.
Jericho has one of the best minds ever in wrestling. He could get over anything.
PPV named after match types are awful, apart from the Royal Rumble which has always been especially for that one ppv. (TLC, Elimation Chamber, Hell in a Cell) These matches should be surprises that can happen on any given ppv. Not by shoving 4 of them in on one ppv. Sucks ass.
The writers today must be mentally challenged but cheap to employ. awful awful storylines.
