Dog's Football Thread Part Five.

Will Scotland be in Russia? ...... serious question, they were 0-1 up last I heard.

Only if we decide to go there on holiday next year.

The Scotland game finished 2-2 so we didn't make 2nd place and the play off spot.

So we miss out on another major tournament.

That's twenty years now, we've been waiting.

Thats a shame, you'll have to console yourself with picking England performances into little bits instead, won't be hard.

It's called constructive criticism, my friend.

Gordon Strachan has said the reason Scotland have difficulty progressing in competitions is because, we're a nation of short arses.

According to the Oracle from Edinburgh, we'll never do well because the Scots have short legs.

Starchan doesn't half talk a lot of shite, just a few of our players from last night.

Craig Gordon 6ft 5ins
Charlie Mulgrew 6ft 4in
Grant Hanley 6ft 3in
Robert Snodgrass 6ft
Chris Martin 6ft

Aye they're clearly all dwarfs.

[Vicky]

Have you ever seen a miss worse than this one from Dennis Van Duinen's from ten yards?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41558174

Well actually i have!!

Here's Chris Iwelumo missing from two yards for Scotland.



He comes from the same town as me.

We were all quite proud of him, it didn't last long.

Former Scotland Goalie Alan Rough's reaction is rather funny.

So our fellow Celts Wales will be keeping us company next year when Northern Ireland and England are off to the World Cup in Russia.

Wales did really well at the European Championship last year and made the Semi-Finals.

There was lots of talk after the competition, Wales were now the top team in the UK, but it would appear they've failed to capitalise on their success.

[Vicky]

I shall go off topic for a minute...

The word Celt comes from the Greek word Keltoi, which means barbarians and is pronounced "Kelt"

[Vicky]

Well there is some good news for me on the World Cup front, Argentina have qualified.

This is great news and finally Lionel Messi will play on the world stage and hopefully get his hands on the trophy.

I'm a longtime admirer of Lionel's and despite having great success at Barcelona, he's never won any major trophies at international level.

Now i know we've had issues with Argentina in the past and i know what they did to the Sir Galahad was out of order, but we must move on.

[Vicky]

The SFA are meeting to do decide the future of Gordon Strachan.

I hope he gets sacked.

That's two tournaments we've failed to qualify under him and we would have qualified for next years world cup, if he'd played our players from the start.

Don't get me wrong, i think Leigh Griffiths is a twat, but he is the best striker in Scotland and if he'd been in the team at the start of the campaign, i think Scotland would have qualified.

[Vicky]

We should ask one of them to take over.

Kenny Dal would probably jump at the chance, Fergie might take a bit more persuading.

There was an article about them in the news today.

Kenny Dal said he wishes he'd kept his trap shut, when his fellow Scot was struggling in his early years at Man U.

He said "If i'd known when i stepped away from the Liverpool managers job in 1990 that United would go on and win the League thirteen times and Liverpool would still be waiting to win it twenty-seven years later, i would have kept quiet"

[Vicky]

Good riddance!!

You Rangers hating, arrogant, tosser.

[Vicky]

This is one of the things Strachan did, that really annoyed me.

He refused to pick Lee Wallace after Rangers were kicked out the SPL and were playing in the Third Division.

He kept telling Big Lee in order to play for Scotland, he would have to play in the SPL.

So basically the guy had to decide "Do i want to play for my club more than my country"

Lee Wallace choose Rangers and didn't play for Scotland again until the Gers were promoted.

Well he played once, before cuntchops dropped him.

Greece are in the play off's for world cup, and Tuesday I think we find out who they get.....anyone but Italy, who are also in the play offs...bet Vam wouldn't mind getting Greece...

[Sunny]

Nice to see Lamela training with spurs.....after his hip surgery......another good player to have on our team.

[Vam]

Greece are in the play off's for world cup, and Tuesday I think we find out who they get.....anyone but Italy, who are also in the play offs...bet Vam wouldn't mind getting Greece...

Hey, we're very hospitable people, Sunns. Greece would be more than welcome to join us!

[Vicky]

After the international break it's back to the SPL tonight.

St Johnstone v Glasgow Rangers.

The Saints will be without Michael O'Halloran tonight, because he's on-loan from Rangers.

Kenny Miller has been recalled to the first team after Peds banished him to the train with the youngsters.

Big Bruno and Niko return tonight which is great news for the Gers.

It's going to be a tight game between mine and Doomlords lads, but all is fair in love and football.

Come On Rangers!!
