Honestly if you handed me a deal for us to avoid France, England and Italy right now I'd accept anything else.
Switzerland seem to always flatter to deceive always qualify yet do nothing of note when they get there

What
Well if they don't like vat then why would they want, or be allowed to play in a competition that uses it,
Sod them, VAR is far from perfect but we've had decades of clubs, players and managers asking for it , so now they can't complain.

McIntyre must sit at home and toss off thinking of VAR,
The argument to get rid of it i would say fine on the following conditions.
You are not allowed to criticise or question ANY decision a referee makes, if you do it's PTS deduction.
You can never have it re instated .
Clubs are not eligible to play in European competition, after all they have VAR and I'd Scotland dont want it then obviously the clubs won't want to play in European games where it is used.
No Scottish officials can officiate in any eufa or FIFA competition.
That's the deal , take it or leave it

To go back to the time when clubs like Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts would see finishing 2nd as being a poor season, instead of the current situation when the limit of their ambition is finishing 3rd and they treat that as an achievement.
I was lucky enough to be around in a time when 3 teams could have won the league on the final day of the season and if it wasn’t for Albert Kidd the title would have spent 4 years outside of Glasgow.

The 80s was the last of that era.
Four different league champions.
Four different league cup winners
Four different Scottish cup winners.
Both world cups qualified for.
3 different clubs reaching at least last 8 of European competition, and neither old firm .

To see any other club bar the two arse cheeks win the league again.

Just one episode of sportsound when Kenny MacIntyre doesn't mention VAR.

Would be an interesting appointment if it's Levien.
Stuart Cosgrove mentioned on yesterday off the ball that Billy Dodds has a good relationship with your chairman.
So I'd imagine he's in the mix

If you take Scotland's Euro 92 squad as a reference point, we had the following players who could play centre half: Richard Gough, Maurice Malpas, Dave McPherson, Tom Boyd, Alan McLaren. This at a point when John Brown was already 30.
Alex McLeish and Craig Levein both made appearances for Scotland after this, while in the mid to late 1980s Alan Hansen and Willie Miller were still on the scene.
In that context, it's not much of a surprise he wasn't capped.Brown was probably more deserving of a cap when he was at Dundee in the mid 80s, if you consider Gary Mackay, Ian Wilson, Peter Grant all won caps there is a case for Brown at Dundee as there was for Bobby Geddes,

He wasn’t.
Scots keepers playing in England were largely overlooked (as indeed were outfield players) in favour of Rough.
David Harvey was part of the great Leeds sides of the early 70s. He was Scotland’s keeper at the 1974 WC Finals and voted keeper of the tournament. He was injured in a car crash in 1975 and was never picked for Scotland again - despite going to make 130 appearances for Leeds in the top flight (and this covered the 78 WC finals where he was only aged 30 and Rough was a disaster).
Jim Blyth was 23 at the 78 WC Finals and was second choice behind Rough. He was part of a quality top flight Coventry side, so much so that Man United tried to sign him for a then world record transfer fee for a keeper in 1979. It fell through when he failed a medical due to a suspect back. He made 151 top flight appearances for Coventry before transferring to Birmingham City where he suffered a bad injury, fracturing his firearm in 3 places which would eventually curtail his career. Only capoed twice.
George Wood, 103 appearances for Everton, 60 for Arsenal, 192 for Crystal Palace. Only capped 4 times and went to the 82 WC Finals as a back up keeper. Would have been 26 at the 78 WC Finals (Rough was 27). Wood was a regular at Everton then but wasn’t even in the squad.
As I say though, it wasn’t just keepers. Strikers like Andy Gray and Ian Wallace, at their peak and scoring regularly in England’s top flight were ignored in favour of ageing home based strikers like Joe Harper and Derek Johnstone.
Alan Hansen was ignored for the squad despite winning the European Cup with Liverpool. Tam Forsyth was a starter
John McGovern, league and European Cup winning captain at Nottingham Forest won zero caps.
Don't start me , I have a whole list of players overlooked

It still can’t believe Alan Rough was the best we had back then. Angus Gunn will learn from this. He’s only really been tested 3 times, and that’s against 3 of the best teams in the world. Spain, England and France.
He wasn't , certainly not in the 80s
Billy Thomson, Leighton, for two should have been regulars ahead of that clown

Regards GK, Clarke could actually give Kelly and Clark some game time,
Especially now that we are qualified, either in one of the two remaining qualification games, or in nations league matches,
He really should have capped at least one by now
