Levein claiming that Bale was not causing problems, utterly lost it Levein. Every single time Bale got the ball at ran at us he caused problems and panic.

Levein makes Steve Kean seem to have the Wisdom of Solomon

Give Levein his jotters now, let Whitney take charge in Belgium then get a new manager for the New Year to try and consolidate.

You are right, but how many times in recent campaigns have we got half way through them, realised we were not going to qualify and said something along the lines of lets right this campaign off now, and use it to build for the next.

Ach, just frustrated after that.

Actually, I'm just now going to consider Avril gone.

So, who next?

Alex McLeish?
Walter Smith?
Billy Davies?

Won't stop people calling him a diver though I bet.

Strachan seems to have a pretty decent gig just now, doing tv pundit work for ITV, and I doubt he needs the money.

So you have to wonder why he would want to manage a fourth rate team such as Scotland?

Doubt if the SFA would give it to him anyway.

The problem in Scottish football goes much further than Levein though. We have been here countless times over the past 20 years.

I guess he's the only "big name" we haven't tried yet...

And I don't think being Scotland boss would preclude him from media work. Chris Coleman still does a few gigs for Sky.

Yes, possibly, if Smith is thought too controversial to bring back ( assuming either is interested )

Quite apart from results is the fact that Levein just has no credit in store for treating fans and media alike as idiots and that he is the man who knows.

The last 5 games between Scotland and Wales has an aggregate of 11-4 in Wales' favour.

Maloney: "I accept responsibility for conceding the penalty. It's deeply disappointing. Tuesday is hardest game. We have to hope."

Why did Kris Commons start? Surely everyone should have just "bumped up" a place, instead of a late call-up going straight in?

(That's a criticism of Levein not picking him in the first place, BTW, and an example of his cluelessness, not a criticism of Commons).

yep
it was offside for the pass

bale is still a cheating **** though

Sort of says it all about the modern game where a faint graze from someone who's actually trying to get out the way makes it ok to throw yourself to the ground claiming a penalty.

Albeit it was slightly better than his dive last weekend where he wasn't even within a foot of the opposition player when he threw himself to the ground.

So does that mean it is automatically a penalty then?? Players can come together in the box and it isn't an offence as far as I am aware.

Certainly going by the coverage I saw and the gif posted previously it would take a big, big stretch to come to the conclusion that Bale hasn't conned the referee and dived ...

So I suppose if someone feels contact from behind from an opposition player, potentially losing they're stride, they're not to go down claiming they were caught then?

It wasn't a coming together, the Scottish player clumsily caught Bale, not the ball. Wales were unlucky with an earlier penalty shout also.

Just in been out to watch the game
Shocked by how many people who were not really watching the game in the pub

If a player feels contact and doesn't go down he's a bit daft. He won't get a penalty for staying on his feet however much he is touched and / or put off balance, although in some cases ( not saying this one ) they should.

I have a horrible feeling the SFA are gonna get someone like Mcliesh or Walter Smith in. Its time to sack levein and get someone in with a remit to play attacking open football and results wont matter as qualification is now gone. Dont care where they are from its just time for a big change.
