  1. Well done Andy Webster....you have played longer in this match than you did in your entire Rangers career.
  2. I was able to recognise 7 out of the 11 during the national anthem. Couldnt pick out Berra, Dixon, Snodgrass or Morrison. Thats how far the Scottish game has went backwards. Show me the 86 Mexico Squad and I could name the full 22.
  3. Agreed. Said earlier in the thread how can Belgium imrpve so much in short space of time. They are a tiny dot been in the shadow between Holland and France forever and now they have a team that is looking very good. They must have been working on it for years, just like France did in the early 90s and the Dutch have always done.
  4. 2 Man City and 1 Chelsea players in their defence. Thats a different level. Cant believe they are handing the 25 club caps out to 3 players prior to kick off....and Levein in his Fonzy shades comes down to shake their hands. Cringeworthy stuff.
  5. TBH he didnt pick his 2nd best striker either. Jordan Rhodes has been doing pretty well down south and probably better than Miller in Canada. Whilst Im a big fan of Miller, Rhodes should probably have got the nod. In saying that Id have played them both in a 4-4-2.
  6. Yip, and our holding midfielder is a defender. If this team attacks the Serbs will hit on the break. Ivanovic does that well with Chelsea, fancy a flutter on him for the first goal.
  7. Scotland line up 4-1-4-1 Allan McGregor (Besiktas), Alan Hutton (Aston Villa), Andy Webster (Hearts), Christophe Berra (Wolves), Paul Dixon (Huddersfield), Gary Caldwell (Wigan), Robert Snodgrass (Norwich), James Morrison (West Brom), Charlie Adam (Stoke), Steven Naismith (Everton), Kenny Miller (Vancouver) 6 former Rangers players.
  8. He was found out at Liverpool so that was part one. But Rangers and Champions League down to Blackpool in the Championship could also be been seen as a slip down. Take away the wages of course.
  9. See! The guy has concussion or something. I bet we wont win one away game!!
  10. Thats a good thing for us then. Rep Ire were jammy!! 2 goals in the last minute.
  11. I would walk 500 miles to boot Leveins ass right out the door.......
  12. They are going to be very tricky to score against. Their back four play for some top teams.
  13. We will be technically out classed by Serbia, Croatia and Belgium especially away from home. Those 3 are really good sides, Croatia were unlucky not to get our of their group in the Euros, yet the 2 that topped them went onto the final - says it all! I cant even see us winning in Wales or Macedonia. However 2 years ago Id fancy us against Belgium, it bares the question how can a small nation like them improve and we cant. Then again thats a silly point because Belgium dont have the SFA running them even though they have a ridiculous league set up. This is the least motivated for a campaign Ive ever been in my life. From the 80s when I can remember watching until 2012 Qualifiers Ive always been right up for the national team games. Its a combination of Levein and the SFA over Rangers. I still hope we win but if we lose I wont be caring too much. When we drew this group I thought its the best chance of qualifying for the WC since 98. No big boy in the group who are always a given to qualify. Its wide open betwen 3-4 nations of similiar quality. I think it will be another campaign of 50000 singing to the Proclaimers at each game and we will end up as glorified losers again.
  14. Think I'll do 4 aways today: Serbia, MK Dons, Sheff Utd and Gillingham. A fiver on that would play 115 quid.
  15. No wonder Woodgate had to leave, with Owen and Ness coming in he had to free up space in the treatment room. I hope Edu does well, but I dont like Stoke. Adam continuing his slip down the ladder...I can see a few red cards for him this season. I'll be amazed if Ness hits double figures for appeareances.
  16. Belgium have improved a lot in the last year, the Dutch are light years ahead of us and the teams in the Portugese league would thump SPL sides. Why would THEY want to include us making their standard go backwards. Any Atlantic deal should be with Norway, Sweden and Finland, thats about our standard if we are lucky. EDIT - This is assuming its replacing domestic football. A league with only Rangers and Celtic joining the likes of Ajax, PSV, Porto and Benfica gets a thumps up from me.
  17. Absolutely not. If you read over the anti McCoist posts you find I am not one of them and say he should be judged after 6-8 games. Im just a tad confused that he had a chance to blend a team and give them 90 mins to get to know each other on the park more and give them more fitness in their real positions but he didntopt for it.
  18. Even more point to play the regular system and bring in the fringe an youngsters in this game so they are used to fitting in when it matters.
  19. Theres a bit of Gabby Amato in him
  20. Yes....but only when we have a team who is at 100% of their fitness and know each well and have been playing with each for a while. Surely gelling a new team in the system he plans to play is higher on the agenda than experimenting when we have had 2 out of 2 'fails' away from home so far this season. The positives from this is Kyle got a run out to sharpen up, but I cant see where 3-4-3 came from unless this is how we are going to play in the weeks ahead. TBH, its a formation I like and can have a perfect balance when it works, Wigan showed that last season by beating Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool with it.
  21. I think Levein is injured aswell....concussion. Too many headers while a player.
  22. 3-4-3 and practically only Kyle playing in his natural postion, the rest was an experiment. Despite a 3-1 win that is worrying. This was another chance to get the team gelling and settled and finally out of this 'pre season' thing that people are going on about. AM needs to make his mind up now about whether he is going to play 3 at the back or 4. Even when he has being playing 3 at the back its been 5 in midfield. So the 3-4-3 is out of the blue.
  23. Mulgrew out, Ricky Foster called up. Levein is a joke....Wallace is clearly a better player than Foster. But thanks again Levein, maybe you are actually doing us a favour rather than proving your a clown because we dont want him called up with 5 games in 14 days coming up.
  24. If he returns play him at LB when required, I feel his best games were at LB. Wallace would be first pick there but Wallace can also play games LM and give Templeton a rest or let Temps play in behind the strikers when Shiels is needing a rest.
  25. He is a bit Gary Bollan like. But I was more ecstatic about Whittaker leaving TBH.
