See all the haters about the national team I have two words for you!! SHUT UP!!

And the the ones saying your glad rangers players aren't playing for them.... Are you having a laugh?

Point... 1, Scotland didn't need our players at all our national team played well and fought for our chance to get to France.

Point... 2, our players wouldn't have boosted our chance of qualifying. Yeah Wallace, McKay are playing well but really get a grip!

Point... 3, everyone slated Rangers last year for not going up! Now we are playing well it's time to turn and slate our national team... You all just don't see the fact both teams are playing amazing! Scotland had a tough group and almost made it.. One game cost us - but then again the Germans lay down to Ireland so don't sit there and take anything away from Scotland. We are a nation getting better and in time our 17 year wait for a big tournament will come at the World Cup...

Sorry for the rant but people need to start backing our teams... Rangers and our national team..

Thoughts?

Teeboy I totally disagree its each persons choice on backing club or international team I don't ever bother with national team and irrelevant to me whether gers players get picked or not I'd probably be happier if they didn't as less chance of injury point 1 they can fight all they want qualifying isn't about how hard the team fights its about ability luck eyc etc not just fight and we lack most things hence Scotland failed again point 2 Wallace would definitely have boosted that defence and improved the quality but I think your correct with McKay point 3 Rangers are playing well but its 1st division so not amazing nor are Scotland playing "amazing" that's just delusional 1 game didn't cost us it was a campaign not a play off Scotland have improved but again its failure to qualify this should have been the best chance to qualify the group wasn't the toughest and yet we finished 4th by how many points behind 1st, 2nd and 3rd tuck your neck in and open your eyes a wee bit

Germany lay down for the Republic get a grip they had numerous chances muller missed a couple of sitters, Germany weren't that hot against Scotland are Georgia for that matter. Scotland didn't qualify because they weren't good enough.

Teeboy1. If you think our Euro campaign gives hope for the future you are deluded my son. 4 wins (2 against Mickey Mouse Gibraltar, 3 draws and 3 defeats doesn't sound exciting to me. Having said that Poland failed to beat us and we were level at 2-2 with Germany at one time at Hampden. Scotland are always likely to raise their game and produce good results against the bigger countries but until we stop committing football suicide against the likes of Georgia, Iran, Costa Rica, Morocco and Luxembourg we'll never make the grade. We are all entitled to our opinions on this site so no, we won't shut up unless the Ed decides to! I am a passionate Rangers fan but also a passionate Scot and I love my country whether they are playing football, rugby or even cricket! lol. I'm sure we'll improve but not until the grass roots of our game in Scotland is completely overhauled.

Calm down teeboy, people come on here to say their views, not fit in with yours. Strachan had them playing ok at the start but the stats speak for themselves, no better than the muck before him. I think any other manager bar an ex celtic one would have picked premiership players over brown, mulgrew and forrest etc.

If i was wallace, i would retire from scotland. He is being punished for being loyal, he's the best left back scotland have and has been since he signed for us, dropping divisions doesn't make him a worse player in my opinion and i'm sure he'll be the best left back in the spfl next year.

teeboy get a grip lol. Our game was a total failure. We were seeded 3rd but we finished 4th. That's total failure. Scraped a win against the mighty georgia at home. Scotland have not improved at all in my eyes. Maybe playing better football but still not getting results and that's what matters.

Dont know how anybody says we've improved. Playing a dud striker and 1 up front and 2 crap holding midfielders and most teams would fail. Untill our mentality changes we will never make it big. I would like to see a good young foreign coach come in and play attacking football with attacking players.

Not playing 7 defending players as in keeper. Back 4 an 2 defending. Holding midfielders. Only reason we beat gibralter 6 nil was fullbacks were told to play and no real holding midfielders... All of sudden we on front foot. Attack is best way to defend

ok i'll bite on teeboy post. The 3 teams who were above us deserved their position in the group. Ireland took 4 points from the world champs' we took zero. O'strachan plays a right footed player at left back. I've played full back an its difficult to tackle. Personally he is lucky he has no competition.

Could go on with the rest of his selection and have already. Our blue boys will have to wait and will get their chance especially our captain. The manager a person with a good sense of humour who by the way has to ask his wife if he should carry on.

from northern ireland teeboy, is that ok?

personnaly i couldn't give a monkeys how scotland do and nobody on here will force anything on me teeboy. I've sat in boozers and watched scotland and all the tartan people wanted to do was criticise rangers players and ex-rangers players. Not for me mate.

that's probably one of the worst and misinformed posts i've heard on this site and that's saying something. Played well and fought hard? The 2 games against georgia were terrible and we were lucky to beat them with an own goal at home, we scraped past the irish at home and couldn't beat germany when the other 2 main teams did. As for them lying down to ireland that's ridiculous and u are embarrassing yourself with stupid comments like that

if you're from ni, why are you rabbiting about the republic? Different group to your country.

15 oct 2015 08:54:40
how am i rabbiting about the republic i pointed out to teeboy that germany didn't lie down if u don't understand that then that's your problem! I don't give a toss about any other country only my own and we're going to france as group winners! Even though the republic keep taking are best players!
