southsidebud Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Aye, course he was. http://www.scotlandfootballstats.co.uk/managers Didn't know that Jock Stein managed us twice or that Matt Busby managed us at all. Nice stats.Of course Alex McLeish's 70% stands out - albeit over only 10 games. Just got a bad feeling about that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in turn reduces the hype and interest created. Unless you have sky sports then you need to go to some effort to be able to watch the games. If it's appearing on everyone's STV then more people would end up watching even just by chance and get excited about it. I'm not a big fan of watching football in pubs, there are too many distractions, I'm also not a fan of watching through dodgy links as you can bet your mortgage that it will stutter/buffer/crash at the important parts.Someone kindly mentioned Now Tv before the last game which turned out to be brilliant and I will use it again but I still think more people would get excited about it if it was easy for them to see. In my opinion that is what SKY does to it. People have England games on in their living room in Scotland ffs!!! Yep - Now TV is the only way to do it at the moment. Don't like giving Sky anything but this short term / occasional partnership is just about palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that this isn't the answer you were looking for. There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

Yeah it's a push by, my gripe is that the nation is being force-fed the English national team matches but struggling or paying extra to see out own nation.

Yep. Unfortunately we are the victims of ITV having the cash and being able to outbid Sky - whereas STV are relative paupers. On the other hand - I guess they will have some sort of reciprocal agreement with their big brothers in London - hence the reason we get access to ITV content and therefore the England games. 14 hours ago, linwood buddie said: Pringles are doing some deal just now for Now Tv passes , not sure exactly what. You get these deals sometimes - usually entertainment ones but sport day passes sometimes come up. I actually got a free sports day pass on a Now TV email shot once. Like I say - Now TV will do until a better deal comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could tempt Michael O'Neill away from Northern Ireland that would be a great appointment. He has done a tremendous job there, often with players plying their trade in Scotland!

Personally I wouldn't mind Moyes. He had many good years at Everton working within a relatively tight budget in the Premiership. A couple of bad gigs mean he has something to prove. A bit of a fallen star - but someone who has demonstrated good ability in the past. Anyway - its all about opinions. O'Neill would be a great appointment but the problem is that - in an almost direct opposition to the situation to Moyes - he is a rising star - and I reckon richer options may have him in their sights. Of course if NI qualify for the World Cup it may all be moot for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLeish done pretty much that after having a very good start with the national team. Doubt, with MacKay being "interim" manager, there will be anybody named for quite a while.

Balmullo Bud Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Interesting idea, but he's starting to build a bit of momentum at Nantes, so can't see him coming to Scotland unfortunately, if we could afford him in the first place of course.

shull Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Should always pick the best Squad. And play the best Team while adding a new Cap or two if possible. New Squad has been picked. Why are there Aberdeen players in Squad now? Were they not available or good enough for previous matches ? Will they get dumped when Games are moved back to Hampden and replaced with Queens Park players. And don't get me started on Ryan fecking Jack. Malky Mackay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malky Mackay Its the token Sevco player as Lee Wallace is injured and Kenny Millar is 52.................. I think Jack has done really well in the 11 matches he has managed not to be sent off in- apart from his defending that is.......... If Mackay gets the Managers job- I am supporting Iceland- spent £45 there at weekend so surely I qualify Edited October 30, 2017 by DougJamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
