Why is a chump like that Portsmouth guy getting in, he always picks players who are at a Premiership team purely because of that reason, and leave in-form SPL players out (Riordan, for example).

yip i hate this just cause they play in the EPL or the play in England they are somehow better than players from Hibs,Aberdeen...ect. i mean we are playing Mcfadden who is hardly getting a game for Everton thats the major problem with our players going south the are likely to be 3rd 4th choice for thier club.

McFadden isn't an eejit. There's always the chance that the penalty can be missed. The real eejit is Craig Gordon. What the fuck was he playing at when the corner came in? No-mans-land.

There's not much chance, and even if it is you've then got 10 men for the rest of the game and a player suspended for the next match as well.

IMO
 
Re: Scotland - Give them their fuses back Berti

McFadden and Fletcher have been mince the last few games. Fletcher was not bad in the first half but his deliveries where piss poor.

CD, I think Quashie has come in and done well IMO. Maybe in a few years when we got the likes of Burke and Wallace on the wings and Maloney, Riordan & co. also, we might be better.

The goalie was terrible for the penalty, McFadden just made an instinctive reaction.

Re: Scotland - Give them their fuses back Berti

Quashie hasn't done too badly I agree, but Richard Hughes, Graham Alexander, Scott Dobie, Kevin Kyle - FFS.

Why in a few years? Get these kids in now, Wallace might not have had too much 1st team action but Riordan and Burke have played more than enough to warrant selection. If McFadden's reaction was purely instinctive I can understand, but if he did it just to have the chance of saving the PK then it was idiotic. Not pinning the result on him or Gordon anyway (Gordon looks a little overwhelmed at this level), we had nothing up front at all and Fletcher when played anywhere but right-mid or centre-mid looks a complete numpty IMO.

Think it would be too early for the youngsters and would possibly lead to burn-out too.

And about those other players you mentioned, I totally agree. Muppets the lot of them.

Re: Scotland - Give them their fuses back Berti

Pains me to say this, and I'm not comparing our youngsters to him, but England threw in Rooney when he was what, 17 or something? Look at how he's come on. Switzerland had an even younger guy called Vonlanthen at Euro 2004, he scored against France, and has been banging them in lately for PSV too.

If you're good enough you're old enough, or are you from the Alan 'can't win anything with kids' Hansen school of thought? ;)
 
Re: Scotland - Give them their fuses back Berti

I see that Vogts has now called up Scott Severin and Lee McCulloch for the Moldova game!

Why Severin? He is another sitting midfielder!

Why McCulloch? He is shite!

Berti, please look at the players who are performing well in the SPL at the moment! Top scorers are Scott McDonald, O'conner, Riordan and Kris Boyd i think. Please give a few of them a try instead of 'Championship' or 'League 1' wasters.

Oh and please never ask Thompson to put on a Scotland shirt again! He is a waste of space.

'Scots' Milanista.

Nothing wrong with drunks as long as they're happy drunks, and it's better than Italians who think it's funny to toss bricks and pee on fans in the tier below. :mrgreen:

3-0 Italy I'll say.
 
Re: Scotland - Give them their fuses back Berti

yeah they were .... scotland did well ok it was against a depleated italy side but still ..... some of the play was good, we just need someone that can score goals.

Gotta admit those were 2 nice free kicks by magician Pirlo.

Do you have any clips of them?
 
Marked improvement I would say, we actually had a fecking shape unlike Berti Ballbag's line-ups! Shame about the goals, first one was never a foul but you can't argue with free-kicks of that quality, wish we'd stuck someone on the line though :(.

Thought the ref had a stinker, the Italians went down so easily but tbf even we got decisions I was flummoxed with (for example, booking Cannavaro for apparent deliberate handball :eh: ).

What were those tally fans all about? :eh:
 
Yep they're nutters. Heard Gattuso was itching to get up there with them and join in. :lol: (Bazza was also hoping for a bit as well, but he forgot his tracksuit and there wasn't a kebab shop in site).

Half decent performance, wtf Lee McCulloch was doing on there I'll never know, he was minging of shit. 2 great free-kicks, 1st one wasn't a foul as CD mentioned for me.

And as for Kenny Miller, he's a tit, don't know how he get's a game.

Apparently the fight was between the southern Italian fans and the northern Italian police..... the rivalry is always there.

Many Scots in Milan walking around for easter in their kilts wearing the Scotland jersey.

You'd have to be drunk to support Scotland.

They are fucking woeful, whats their current world ranking?

Brazil - The Facts


Someone has sent in what is claimed to be the actual players dialogue (as recorded by the referee) from the Brazil-Scotland match.

We take up the action in the 3rd minute of the first half...

Leighton: Let's huv a name on this, I don't want tae see the baw here again for at least another 20 seconds.
Lambert: Shit, its coming towards me. Whit the f**k dae ah dae wi' it noo.
Durie: Don't f**kin' pass it here ya donkey, I dinna want it. Gie it to Jackson.
Jackson: Shit, wasn't expecting it this early in the game. I think I'll gie it back tae Paul.
Lambert: No' again.
Boyd: F**k off Lambert, gie it tae Burley, he'll know whit ta dae.
Burley: Ach that's miles away Tam.
Collins: That's come to me nicely. How am I looking? Fantastic I bet. These Brazilians are pish by the way. Looking good Johnny Boy, ah can skin them all. Shit, lost it. Hope the camera didn't get that one.
Calderwood: Christ, he's comin' at me, where's Colin? Colin, get oer here, that silky b**t*rd, Ronaldo's comin' for me. Whit noo?
Hendry: Slide him.
Calderwood: Whit?
Hendry: Leave him tae me......f**k, missed him the wee sh*t*.
Leighton: Oh for f**k's sake.
Dailly: Better get back.
Gallacher: Wonder what's happening up there? Oh corner to Brazil. Better go and stand next tae somebody.
Leighton: Who's on Sampaio?
Jackson: Are we eating out tonight? Scampi did you say?
Hendry: I'll mark Ronaldo.
Calderwood: I'll mark Ronaldo.
Dailly: I'll mark Ronaldo.
Boyd: I'll mark Ronaldo.
Collins: How am I looking?
Hendry: Burley, you mark Rivaldo.
Burley: Okay, I've got Ronaldo.
Leighton: For f**k's sake, who was marking Sampaio???
Hendry: I had Ronaldo. Its no' ma fault.
Durie: Did the cameras see it?


20 minutes later.........

Hendry: Shit, here they come again. Crash positions lads.
Leighton: Oh Jesus, humiliation beckons again. Maybe Fergie was right. I'm sh*t*.
Jackson: Oh there's ma Mum in the crowd.
Durie: B**t*rds the lot of them. I bet they're Catholics.
Dailly: Better get back.
Collins: Feeling like a run. Want to strutt those majestic thighs. Looking and feeling great. Plenty of time to score. Oh, here comes the ball. Nice touch, Johnny Boy, you are a God, oh passed him nicely, looking good, need a rest, breaking sweat, I'll gie it to Burley. Beautiful.
Burley: Hi Colin, what are you doing here? Do you want the ball, I think I'm aboot tae get tackled. Shit.
Hendry: I didn't want it ya fanny Craig. Oh shit, here they come again, must hoof it somewhere safe. Where's Jim? Bugger, up the park will do.
Gallacher: Ball coming, must run fast as little legs will carry, then maybe it'll miss me.....F**K, WHAT WAS THAT???? A bloody train hit me. Why is everyone hugging me? Am I dead?
Referee: Penalty to Scotland.
Scottish Fans: F**kin' Hell.
Hendry: Who wants to take it?
Durie: Errm, ma legs sore. Old injury.
Gallacher: I've lost a contact lens.
Jackson: MaBoyd: Wha'?...............Oh ybe it's no' ma Mum.
Collins: Give it tae Johnny Boy, he'll take it. Looking great, I wish ah had a mirror. Hope the burd is tapin' the game.
McAllister: Now you'll know how it feels ya wee b**t*rd.
Collins: Let me just place the ball. Millions of burds watching. Cool as a cucumber, Johnners. Right ref, nearly ready. Just fix the hair. Okay, ready to run............here we go...........just one final check, teeth are clean, hair great. Right ladies, watch this.................. and Johnny Boy does it again. Don't touch the f**kin' hair Burley. Hands off my arse Durie. You can get away with that at Rangers, but not here. I can see God on Stars in their Eyes saying, "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be John Collins."
McAllister: F**k.
Craig Brown: Tee hee.
Scottish Fan: Whit? Goal against Brazil? Ya beautyyyyyy. Second round, here we come!!
Leighton: What's happening up there?

16 minutes to go............ Hendry: Get rid o' it ya mug!
Lambert: Where?
Hendry: Just hammer it.
Burley: No' tae me ya eejit.
Calderwood: P**s off, Ah had it a minute ago. Its no ma turn, ma kid's watchin'.
Hendry: I said hammer it, not pass it.
Durie: Its too far for me to chase. Go on Kevin.
Gallacher: Come on wee legs, faster. I'm gonna make it. Got it!!! Shit, lost it.
Collins: And his majestic highness steps in to stealthily pass a gorgeous ball to his fellow team mate.
Lambert: I told you, not to me.
Dailly: I don't want it. There's 300 million people watching.
Collins: Is that all? I need a bigger audience. Johnny Boy to the rescue. Who wants a bit of silky skill from the King of all Kings. I think I'll pass to me. Oh yes...fantastic, still looking great. Glad I wore that aftershave today..... What was that?
Gallacher: That was Ronaldo.
Jackson: Can I get a shot on the ball? Ma mum's watching.
Hendry: Somebody tackle Ronaldo.
Calderwood: Okay.......shit, missed again.
Hendry: Somebody tackle Ronaldo.
Leighton: Who's on the ball now?
Boyd: Dunno.
Leighton: Get markin' I think that's a cross comin' in.
Boyd: I think I'll mark.....him. He doesn't look dangerous. I should come out of this okay. I can see the newspapers tomorrow, Braveheart Boyd a stalwart at the back.
Leighton: CROSS COMIN' IN!!! I'M GOIN' FOR IT!!! TOMMY, LOOK OUT........... f**k.

A win's a win. Results are the order of the day, not the performances, this has obviously been proved on the biggest stages around i.e. Euro Champs, ECL, Boxing of recent.Funniest thing I thought from the game was where Davie Provan came up with Barry Ferguson as the MOM? Thought he was mince. He must've been shit hot in the first 20 mins that I missed, because I didn't know he was playing until around 70mins. McFadden I thought did really well when he came on, as did Dailly.


FD
 
haha, what about big Rab last night, eh! :lol:

What a muppet. Just like he dones so many times in the Celtic shirt (most notably in Seville) the big puddin can't push the ball out to the sides, he always palms it out onto on-rushing players.

Scotland did play well though, the strikers looked good, especially Kenny Miller.

I'm sure if all the subs hadn't been made, Scotland would have won, but when you stick big Bob the Builder in then your asking for trouble.

FD
 
Typical Scotland tho, done so well then in the end they fuck it up themselves so the opposition don't have to. Fletcher and Weir go for the same header and nearly score an OG, Gordon pulls off a great save, then of course there is an Italian waiting to put the rebound in. Wouldn't be Scotland unless there was that extra little bit of arse about it though, Gordon was saving the rebound until a Scotland shirt deflected it in!

Ah well.
