craigkillie Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Posted this in the other thread: If we were building our squad out of domestic based players outside of the current Scotland squad and also the youth team squads, and also excluding guys that have retired from internationals (ie Allan McGregor) I'd go for: GK: Gordon, Bain, Fulton DF: Considine, Hanlon, Broadfoot, Findlay, Kerr, McGinn, Whittaker MF: Turnbull, McGeouch, Polworth, Davidson, Pittman, Burke, Murphy FW: Griffiths, Brophy, Watt, Stewart, Naismith Some of the guys are there because of their experience of playing for Scotland rather than necessarily because they're the best. For example, we're really struggling in the full-back positions anyway, so why not have Whittaker and his 30 odd caps as a back-up even if his legs are gone. I think you could pick a team out of that that would beat some of the dross of Europe, but they would definitely struggle against anyone even half decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the extremely rare occurrence when I watch Sportscene I like the look of Ferguson as a player. So i’d like to see him getting a shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hope so, but McGregor spat the dummy in the first place so I wouldn't be so sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Maybe after treating foreign managers like they already had infectious diseases for the past few years, they'd do what people least expect and hire Lars Lagerback in during a global pandemic. Put him on one of those Segway iPads on the touchline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Discussions about a Scotland manager are always heavily hampered by the question of whether they'd be in any way interested in managing us. Other than appointing a mediocre Scot and hoping they somehow come good, you've got the option of a fading star looking for a last payday before retirement - the Trapattoni tactic - or taking a chance on a younger man who's shown promise at a minor level...possibly the Cathro* conundrum. Part of our problem is that there doesn't seem to be much interest from genuine, top-level coaches looking to wind down. Presumably they're all able to make much better money in Asia or the Gulf States these days, and (you'd imagine) enjoy a better standard of living too. So we'd probably be better going down the route of a younger man and giving them a minimum agreed time to adjust to the role and make their improvements, hopefully being allowed to help shape the way young players are produced in Scotland too. But I think we can agree, it's very unlikely that the press and fans would sit back and accept a couple of years of possibly even poorer results with only the possibility of better times down the road. So, we're fucked. It's going to take luck. Might as well roll a dice and ask one of the SPFL managers at random if Steve Clarke wasn't available. *please note that I'm not saying that Ian Cathro should be considered for the Scotland job. But a few years ago there'd have been some support for him as a radical, long-term change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the SFA, the obvious choice would be Malkkky, and I imagine if we were in Czech Republic's position there would be no hesitation of it being him to take the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
