Great to see a wee country like Wales perform so brilliantly. Why can't Scotland do the same? Admittedly, we don't have a Bale or Ramsey but surely with a decent manager we can raise our game. Strachan is useless, doesn't have a clue. Why not offer Alex Neil the job. I know Norwich went down to the Championship but he performed miracles with a limited budget. The following Scots play in the EPL or Championship: Naismith, Snodgrass, Adam, Fletcher, Morrison, Anya, Whittaker, Dorrans, Rhodes, Maloney, McGregor, Robertson, McCormack, McArthur, Marshall, Shinnie, Hutton. Add home-based players like Tierney and Griffiths from Celtic, Mackay, Wallace and Holt from Rangers and perhaps a couple of Aberdeen and Hearts stars and surely we can get a decent team together?

I am really sorry but you having a laugh
Naismith, Snodgrass, Adam, Fletcher, Morrison, Anya, Whittaker, Dorrans, Rhodes, Maloney, McGregor, Robertson, McCormack, McArthur, Marshall, Shinnie, Hutton
McArthur / McCormack/ Anya
To me that's the only three I would keep the rest have had there chance time to move on and give the younger ones a chance.
02 Jul 2016 10:23:37
Anya is dung.
02 Jul 2016 11:44:22
You would bin Robertson?
02 Jul 2016 12:08:34
Anya still has a lot to give as long as he gets the service it's the same with robo Scotland needs to get out off the dark ages and move forward but the question is who? The last thing we need is a sfa yes man
I am a kids coach under 10s and our system (pro youth ) is not working a lot off kids that don't make the grade are falling by the waside.

Portugal have Ronaldo, Wales have bale, we got Lego muncher 😂😂😂.
02 Jul 2016 12:11:20
Nonsense. If we had been offered a choice of Rhodes/ McCormack and Robson Kanu a month ago we would have picked Rhodes or McCormack.
02 Jul 2016 12:54:17
Anya has no ability all he does is knock and run.

This Scotland team is proberly the best we have had in a while. Strachan gets it tight but he has been a lot better than previous managers.
02 Jul 2016 13:29:58
He's awful leaves out the best players continuously.
02 Jul 2016 14:06:02
Cee, who would you like to be scotland manager instead of gordon Strachan mate? I think billy davies would be a tremendous scotland manager, just my own personal opinion.

Rip up the rule book, give Ian Cathro the job. The target should be reaching next Euros. Get rid of the dead wood, bring young promising players in now, let them gel and see how we get on. What have we got to lose?

Scotland's major problem, (apart from the SFA) , is its manager and that has been the case for a number of years.
That said you cannot compare a number of the Scotland players to a number of the players at Wales these days. Scottish players are carthorses compared to the thoroughbreds of Wales.
Scotland doesn't have a Gareth Bale, indeed they haven't had anyone that comes close since the days of Souness and before that Baxter! Scotland just isn't producing top quality players anymore and neither is Northern Ireland or the ROI and the same can almost be said for England.
Why this is in Scotland and Ireland I don't know but I would blame the number of overseas players now in the top league in England as one of the reasons why the top talent is not coming through there.

Doiger, the three goals wales scored were all brilliant goals eh, i certainly never thought wales would win, but that let's me know i can't get everything right, lol.
02 Jul 2016 16:21:56
supposing we hd some class players chesney could not make a team out of them.

In my humble opinion, the problem with Scottish football is:
1. The bevy, burds and gear culture of our youths. Too many youths wasting there potential because they're more interested in going out getting wasted and fingering dirties.
2. Youth teams ignoring boys with technical ability to play boys who are 6'4" and shave twice a day.
