stlucifer Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Difficult but doable. As has been said. I certainly could have been a lot more challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Brings back bad memories. I was in the Faroes for the 2-2 draw and in Moldova for the 1-1 draw. In Moldova Berti was banned so was sitting in the stand with the Scotland fans. He was sat right in front of us. Poor fella was taking unacceptable pelters. As furious as I was with the performance, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. No surprise that was his last game in charge. Big Thommo scored for Scotland that night.

I think he would have been a better manager for Scotland had he had club experience here. He also had the worst group of players ever available to a Scotland manger. The team that played in the 2-2 draw in the Faroes was frightenly bad. Apart from a central defence of Dailly/Weir and a centre mid paring of Lambert/Ferguson, the team was comical. Despite all that he got us to a play off. Something only Craigie Broon and now Clarke have managed. And Clarke wasn’t via a proper group. His competitive record actually wasn’t that bad. Most of our horrendous results under him were in friendlies. Edited December 7, 2020 by TPAFKA Jersey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 3 minutes ago, Yflab said: It’s all about opinions, but I think we have had worse players represent the country since Bertie. Those 4 players you mentioned would stroll into the current team. Plus we had Faddy up front. I’d even take Thommo over Dykes/McBurnie/Burke/Paterson. I have hopes that Dykes might just become a good striker with more experience. If we could get Griffiths back in the right zone he might just be the match winner at Wembley. It’s never a dull day being a Scottish Saints fan is it mate? Aw I cannae agree with you there pal. We needed those 4 players just to make up for the rest of the shite. Scott Dobie, Kevin Kyle, Robbie Stockdale, Gareth Williams, Stephen Crainey, Maurice Ross, Paul Devlin to name but a few.Berti never really had Faddy. He was just coming through. He got the goal against Holland by not much else. Walter and McLeish saw the best of Faddy. Same with Fletcher. All the good players Berti had were mostly nippers. Kenny Miller too. He got a couple of goals for Bert, but his best days were later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 What a wee bonus. Tonight there was hee haw on the telly and the Mrs starts looking through the planner. She’s got Russell Howard (who I’m no really a fan of) on series link. She sticks the first one on and it so happens it’s the same night as the Serbia v Scotland game. So the whole recording on Sky One was from the start of the penalty shoot out to the end of the programme. I watched the game in the boozer that night so never saw any of the studio post match reaction on the night. I’ve obviously seen the players interviews since, but it was the studio guests who grabbed my attention. What an unbelievable breath of fresh air Faddy and Fletch are. From the days of that utter c**t Charlie Nicholas slagging the team off through countless boring studio guests, wee get to two guys (who incidentally were both top players) showing real passion and excitement for the national team. What a really enjoyable watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrin Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) I lived in Qatar for a year. Met a wonderful lovely lassie, there (from Leicester). Really enjoyed the bars. (owned by the oil companies). Great beer - I fondly recall being introduced to Amstell. I doubt that many/any new bars have opened. And I doubt ANY of the buildings that I used to know well, are even still standing... C'est la vie! As they almost say in Doha. I won't start saving for Qatar now... as I know I'd enjoy myself more in Lanzarote. Edited December 10, 2020 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near half the Scotland squad gave up when he got the job so Berti had to try to rebuild during qualifiers. I still think he may have got it right if he had a little more time and a lot more patience from the supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point, but as this thread, if you read back through this page, has become focussed on Scotland. Anyhow, I'll keep posting in the Scotland thread, see ye. PS He's on ignore so I don't have to read his pointless drivel, some relief for me, although doesn't solve the problem for the forum.
