He said he went for runners and more height lol.

Not every pro can control the ball under pressure. That's the key!!!

No.

But we should stuff them on Sunday.

This boy Harper just doesn't seem to fit the style that Sbragia wants to play. It is the same for Jordan Rhodes under Strachan who said: "It leaves Jordan, like many people, with a system which doesn't suit him." That is a 1 goal every 2 games striker playing at a good level being snubbed because his game wasn't strong enough at the time in that particular system. Rumour has it he will be playing in the friendly after he worked on his game.

You need guys that will run, fight, dig and tackle. You can't be carrying a guy who floats about even is his 'technical ability' is good.

4-0 minimum.

4-0 maximum we dont stuff anyone as we have no consistent goalscorers in the side

I honestly don't know what kind of football you like to watch but its sounds riveting.

Just nice that that wee lad Messi was given a chance to develop.

And no, I am not comparing Harper to Messi ( even if apparently Spain have noted Scotland U19's lack of interest in the guy )

The worrying thing is the coach has only does this as his allowed to which means those that run the game are still as clueless as ever.

Why is neil McCann placing Northern Ireland on a par with gibraltar .

We only 4 places ahead of Northern Ireland in the world rankings

A win is a win I suppose but the game was what it two low ranked sides and it showed.

Think its time to move on some of the old guard though starting with Fletcher x2.

S Fletcher is not a goalscorer at international level it's never going to happen, so why do we keep persisting with him.

I assume it's if you are on the books of an english premier side you are pretty much still guaranteed a start irrespective of club form

Why did I think the gibraltar game was tuesday? OOPS! (I think I was thinking it was friday when I posted that originally) whoops!

Paul Paton to stand trial for allegedly attacking Lukasz Zaluska in Ashton Lane.

Two goals for Shankland after coming on as a sub in his U-21 debut today.

Wish we could somehow fit him into our team alongside Rooney.

Austria U-19 1 Scotland U-19 2

That Sbragia is a right knob! Prehistoric winning away football.

I always thought Dingwall was a clown, now I know he is.

Tries to be a smart arse with Sports Direct and ends up with a massive legal bill.

Now got his begging bowl out on FF looking for donations.

Just been reading about that there.

Since Dingwall sells his own merchandise in competition to The Rangers official merchandise sold by Ashley and Sports Direct this could be very interesting. Love his BS excuse of wanting to ask people their opinions on zero contract hours like he somehow cared about that in the slightest.

Someone has missed the point completely.

1. he doesnt have a legal bill, the money is to hire a lawyer
2. he requested a document which all shareholders are entitled to, he will win the case

Not necessarily.

SD have applied for Mingwall to pay the costs relating to the hearing.

If it goes ahead then I assume he will have a legal bill as well as lawyer's fees. And all because he tried to be a smart arse.

35,000 tickets sold @ £45 a pop to watch a shite game like that on sunday, the worlds gone mad ..............

How many of those are 'season' tickets which guaranteed Ireland, England and Germany tickets?

The point is to win. Play all the technical football you like, if you lose it won't mean anything how well you played.

26,876

The point for the senior side is to win competitive matches ( while they can still matter ) and pick the best team and tactics to do that now rather than think too much about tomorrow.

The point about the age group teams is to balance winning yes with developing players and styles for the future needs of the senior national team. A win at all costs mentality at that level is in my view misguided and potentially counterproductive.
