Scott7 6,155 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Mediocrity. No Baxters, Laws, Johnstones. OK they won nothing but they were good to watch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 913 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 McGregors timing was obviously well thought and a bit of a middle finger to the SFA. As Scott says with his names (his generation before mine) - did the names in the past probably underachieve?? Even in Euro 96 Broon used to get a bit of grief for his selections (Gough and Robertson should have been starters) yet he got us to tournaments but we was always a bit of magic short.

Scott7 6,155 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) What a team. No players like that nowadays. Going back a bit further there was a choice of three top class goal scoring centre forwards, Laurie Reilly, Willie Bauld and Willie Thornton plus, if needed, a pretty decent tradesman Paddy Buckley, all playing in Scottish football. What did the selectors do? They picked Billy Houliston a rummle them upper but no great finisher. Yet he might be a better choice than any of the current squad. Hope Bates plays a starring role. Should never have sold him. Edited March 13, 2019 by Scott7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

917 191 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Baxter & Law’s generation didn’t ‘underachieve’ it was just harder back then. Only 16 teams qualified for the World Cup, only 4 for European Championship, no chances to run up caps & goals against yer Kazakhstan’s & San Marino as they weren’t even countries in those days.. I have no interest in these games as I don’t have Sky anymore & wont go out my way to watch them. Sad that Scotland have no top class players any more, even more worrying that no Rangers player is considered good enough for the squad. Neither side will achieve success until there are 3 or 4 regulars in both teams, in my view. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 7,193 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I remember a Scotland v Austria match at hampden were the referee took the huff and walked off in the second half and the match had to be abandoned 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,398 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Was there think it was because of Austrians bad behaviour and think it was after a guy called,Nemetch, had spat on a Scottish player. Also remember a Scotland game V Brazil when Billy Bremner had a right set to with Pele. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
