I was taking it as 1998 when we last qualified. They qualified in 1998 + 2002. Anyway, we're detracting from the triumph of Scotland: Kirin Cup Champions 2006. That glorious team was: Neil Alexander Graham Murty, Russell Anderson, David Weir, Gary Caldwell, Gary Naysmith Gary Teale, Darren Fletcher, Scott Severin, Lee McCulloch Kris Boyd (v Bulgaria)/James McFadden (v Japan) On the bench were the mighty Iain Turner, Graeme Smith, Stevie Caldwell, David McNamee, Chris Burke, Ian Murray, Gavin Rae and Lee Miller.

And the 19-year-old has pleaded to international manager Berti Vogts not to end his international career after just one appearance. McFadden said: "I hope it doesn't have an effect on my international career, but I'll need to speak to the manager. I owe him and everyone else an apology. All I can do is say sorry. The boss has shown faith by taking me on the tour and I've let him and the rest of the squad down. It's a mistake and I am embarrassed - but not ashamed." McFadden wants to discuss his disappearing act with national manager Berti Vogts as soon as possible. The Motherwell youngster missed the scheduled flight back after a night on the town to celebrate the end of the tour of South Korea and Hong Kong. SFA spokesman Andy Mitchell said: "Almost all the players went out as a group and, at some stage, he would have been separated. But we don't know enough. We need to speak to the player to hear the full story. Obviously, in due course, the manager and the player will speak, but that will remain confidential. Until we speak to the player, we don't know about disciplinary action. The only contact we had was when one of my colleagues phoned SFA security officer Willie McDougall from the phone on the plane and got a very brief confirmation to say he had arrived and would be travelling afterwards." McDougall had originally claimed that a ticket mix-up had seen the player miss the team flight. However, Mitchell offered an explanation for the SFA security chief's reasoning. "I think Willie was just trying to cover up the boy's embarrassment," he said.Mitchell revealed that the SFA party only discovered the teenager's absence when they rang his hotel room.Mitchell said: "After the match, the players went out at the end of a long tour at the end of the season and to celebrate their victory. After that, Jamie McFadden slept in and therefore we had to depart without him. Willie McDougall stayed on and met up with James and they are coming back on a later flight so it means a few hours delay. He wasn't in the room. He didn't return to the hotel. He slept somewhere and didn't reappear." McFadden was already expected to drop back into the Under-21 set-up after the Far East tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 That's part of the plan, isn't it? They like to drag it out as long as possible. I assume the non-UK broadcasts have adverts?I can't remember a single draw that didn't take for fucking ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The failure of the USA to qualify has denied us some potentially juicy geopolitical ties in the groups. Iran vs Saudi Arabia stands out as one with a bit of needle, assuming one hasn't already reduced the other to smouldering ruins before the tournament begins.
