Shouldnt call up's be all about current form???? Whittaker has possibly been our worst player this season but makes the squad. Id have called up Broadfoot well ahead of Whittaker to balance out the RB position.

Baffling why he wasnt in the squad in the first place. Whittaker is there and Wylde isnt...who has been the better performer this season??? Levein is a fud.

If Waller was in charge id be optimistic about maybe a draw but if Spain decide to have a go then it could be a scary night. Looking at the positives we do have one of the best keepers in Europe....id even say Allan Mcgregor would get into the Spanish squad (if he was Spanish). We might need a best night ever from The Shagger. If Levein played 4-6-0 (how was he even allowed to keep his job after that) against Czech Rep then what will he do against the World Champs?? I think we are banking on Hearts getting something against the Czechs, but even then we need the Jambos to win. Im going for: Spain 4-0 Scotland Lithuania 1-0 Czech Rep

Cant agree about the players, if you add 2 years on then we had a cracking team but Craig Brown was a fud. Agree about the dumpling though....me and you after 6 bottles of wine have more of a clue than that twat. He gives me the creeps.

Did you recall who we were playing???

Levein might be a worse manager than vogts, yet he will stay in the job via default. Lithuania will beat Czechs and we will be in the play offs. If Spain are in half the mood then it will be embarrassing. 10 years ago id actually fancy us with Ferguson, Lambert, Burley, Hutchison etc but Adam, mackeral doesnt near fill me with hope.

Thats what I was thinking buddy.....Serbia lose and Estonia are in the play offs. Did we beat them once coz they didnt show up???? We turned up kicked off then the ref blew the whistle.

Plenty of places still to be decided and this week throws up a few good 'cup finals'. What I have noticed is a few of the old beating boys are now decent teams. Estonia, Lithuania, Armenia have all improved. Group A: Germany romped the group. Belgium lead Turkey by a point but have to go to germany in the last game while Turkey play Azerbaijan. Group B: Wide open. Russia, Celtic and Armenia all in with a shout. Russia have Andorra so will win the group. Celtic play Armenia for a play off spot. Group C: Italy win the group. Serbia have to beat Slovenia in the last game to make the play offs or Estonia take that place. Group D: France lead Bosnia by a point, they play in Paris to decide who wins the group and who goes into the play offs. Group E: A decided group. Holland win the group. Sweden in the play offs. Group F: Greece need a draw against Georgia to win the group. Croatia in the plays off unless Georgia win and they beat latvia. Group G: England win the group, Montenegro in play offs. Group H: Portugal v Denmark in the final game, winner qualifies. The loser should qualify as best runner up. Draw put Portugal in the finals. Group I: Spain romp the group. Scotland need to match or better Czech's result for play off. Scotland go to Spain, Czech's go to Lithuania.

The big man isnt quite Dado Prso but he is quality. The same article was on beeb and said he wants to play in England, so I think it is save to say he will move on when a Premier League team comes in with a bid.

I'll have a jar with you!

If we finish 2nd it will be because Lithuania beat the Czechs because have absolutely no chance of beating Spain. Really hope we get there but Levein is still a fud.

Yet he is a SFA yes man and will bizarrly lead us into the next WC group. We have a great group and go in with this twat.

Absolutely...good luck. Very likeable guy. Cant remember him as a player but great pundit.

Fancied the Czechs to get something, but now its in our hands haha. 2 wins and we are in the play offs.

Was going to mention that, think his contribution was bit under rated. Always seemed to be in the team, could create and score goals. Regular for Scotland also. Had a good career for Chelsea, Spurs and Rangers.

That was a classic cup final. McCann was superb for Hearts. Weir squaring up to Goram. Gascoigne and McCoist arguing. - they both should have had hattricks, both missed a good chance late on. 2 crackers from Gazza. McCoist sharp as a button at 34 (except for Gazza's pass....how anyone could compare Boyd to Coisty in the past is baffling).

And just before he books the ref he misses an absolute sitter on 2min 30.

He was seen at Bournemouth beach recently and was said to be looking in great shape while greeting fans. Also was drinking coffee at a bar with friends rather than the booze. Hopefully he stays this way as I thought he was on his last legs not so long ago. Really is difficult to separate him and Laudrup as a fave all time player, 2 totally different characters but 2 absolute geniuses. I still find it totally ridiculous how Gascoigne never made it into Pele's Fifa 100 (125) when he is easily the most talentened English player Ive ever seen. Some people have said if Alex Ferguson had got him he'd have been even a better player with a straight head, Im not sure if he would have been, its almost like the madness inside him was taken out on the park on in a good way. My fave Gazza goal was against Hibs in the 7-0 hiding when he picked the ball up around the half way line skinned about 5 players then stuck it in the corner, think that was the same game he booked the ref.

Appreicate the article, its always nice to get these type of things and put them up in the dressing room wall and prevent any slip ups and gain extra motivation.

Its scary to think going to a minnow like Liechtenstein isnt near a banker win these days, I can see either a 1 goal win or a draw. But even if we win I think the Czechs have enough to get either a draw with Spain at home or win in Lithuania. Ive never been convinced by Levein, but have a feeling he will definitely still be in charge for the next campaign which is a crazy decision. We have been drawn in a good group with Serbia and Croatia as the biggest seeds, we should get Walter Smith back in and with the way he played his last spell Id fancy us to win the group.

The last Scotland game against the Czech's you were well up for that and looking forward to it. I cant understand people who pick and choose when they would be up for game.

Club should have had a flat rate of 15 quid that way attracted a big crowd and probably made more money.

His spell in Holland got his reputation up quite a lot again but his struggle at Wolfsburg put doubts in. Having a disasterous spell at Forest means clubs will be reluctant to touch him in the future. Best he can maybe hope for is a Wigan, Bolton or Blackburn.

Cant beat a thread like that while your having a drink....very tempted to crack open a can myself now :cheers:

Yeah what a clown. "Celtic missed Ledley ....." "Hearts not nearly as committed last week as they are today".
