Scotland To Shaft Slovenia...

oh dear, the end is nigh

f****** told you

bas*****s

Reporter: "So Gordon, any changes then?"
Strachan: "Naw, still 5ft 6", ginger and a big nose."

no sign of Mel Gibson warming up

This is all Strachan's fault with his stupid formation. Slovenia weren't interested and we got a goal out of nothing having created fuuck all. We need to win now and he's still got a midfield on the pitch of Bannan, Fletcher and McArthur and Phillips who has done nothing. Fuucking ridiculous.

Get Forrest, McGregor or McGinn on now you fuucking arrsehole

wenger- strachan twins

James McArthur I don't even know how he's had the career he has. He does nothing, can't pass no energy no speed. Bannan might look good in the championship and can pass a wee bit but again has no pace or energy. Get McGregor on whose full of energy and a goal threat, or McGinn who can run with the ball from midfield or Forrest who has pace to burn and might get lucky.

Change things now ya ginger useless cuunt

Do Scotland get relegated from the UK if they don't win this?

if this game draws- slovakia still oot

Russia sucks

Strachan get to fuuck ya useless ****

goalie almost moved that time

At least Scotland has finished above Lituania and Malta

His team selection tonight as stated previous was mind baffling.  Time for Gordon to move on

Seen enough ffs....Useless loadda Bashtards.

Deep deep joy

Matt Phillips still on the pitch.  He was like a man down in the first half

barstewards

Scotland as gutless as my trading skill today

Starts the game with a mad formation then when we need to go attacking he stands there while we get deeper and deeper and changes nothing.

Thank god we'll be getting rid of that useless muppet.

hold my beer ireland

Sitter missed by Fletcher

At least we won't have to listen to that arrseholes sarkie comments in press conferences anymore

That miss by Fletcher sums it up terrible miss all he had to do was keep it underneath the cross bar,one thing to concentrate on when connecting but no amateurishly whacking it high and mighty whereby there lad although he did not have to contend with a bouncing ball cooly slots hit home along the deck.

hey sucker................haven't u been moaning and whining on for years, that if u only were luckily enough to have had the same easy qualifying group as England, u would have qualified for a tournament finals this millennium?

2-2

too little to late

Great finish miles harder chance than Fletchers poor miss

I'm going full bank a Scotland win, wish me luck

it's a NAP

free money

fill... your... boots

3-2 GWAN SCOTLAND!!!!

Should be at 7 mins added time to play now

Only 5 played

End Of

F**K you Scotland!!!!!!

Hopefully Strachans next broadcasted words are "I'm a useless ginger wee baastard and I resign"

Flower wilted

So near and yet so far

Just not good enough. Bye bye wee sarcastic turd.

Pink pansies pathetic......

i think slovakia might not make it because they may be 9th runners up

Strachan an absolute coward they way the game plan was set out

On the plus side N.Ireland have qualified for the play offs and with a bit of luck Slovakia will not have enough points as there is only 2 teams behind them with both a game to play in the 2nds table

tbf they lost the chance earlier in the group

They should have beaten england twice and finished up with only one point from those two games - that cost them a place in the finals

Scotland oot after a glimmer of false hope, as usual.


Good luck to Norn Ireland and Wales now.

It was the gutless draw with Lithuania at home that killed us. It's sh1te being Scottish.

N.Ireland qualified for play offs but Wales most likely need a win now instead of a draw

Back to supporting England in the tournies again for the scotch.

You mean laughing as yer team get humiliated and yer fans get leathered

Don't know what you "guys" are watching.......REF was abysmal 2nd half :-


1. Was it a fee kick for SL 1st goal????

2. How many elbows in back count before a BOOKING given......at least 2 sending offs deserved with all the elbows in that match.

Well sucker, what is yr excuse this time?

How many teams are needed in the finals before the sweaty socks qualify again? 48? 64? 80? 96? 112? 128? More?

what, just until the group stages are if England go beyond expectations the 2nd Round

Shame for the Scots really, would have been nice to have them there

I have us down for the last 16 before going down on penalties

I still cannot believe that team and formation Strachan picked. It's like he purposely stuck two fingers up at the country cos he can't handle criticism and said fuuck you

I blame the sfa for sticking by the clown. I'll be looking to back Judy Murray or krankie sturgeon for next boss.

Best coach we have had in years !

so far and yet so far

I would actually want Scotland to qualify, if I didn't come on here. But the abuse we get when we fail...

Typical scotch mentality, you had two chances this time to beat us and failed.
You also had the chance to finish above us and qualify at our expense, and again you failed.

No English fan would care a damn about a scottish gloat when England get knocked out because however bad England are, they are always always always above and better than scotland.

Eng certainly should "always" be better than Scotland, but a quick look at the h2H would suggest otherwise

Bye the looks of it you English aren't going far that's the poorest England side I've seen for a long time.

That finished 8 (EIGHT) points above the sweaty socks.

You would of thought England had lost and been knocked out the way dusty's wetting himself

England always get an easy group and scotland get tough

Thats right, the group was easy for England and tough for scotland

Let's be fair.  As soon as Scotland's so-called Player of the Year, Armstrong, gave away possession, like a twelve year old kid, to Cahill at Hampden, in 90+ minutes, instead of putting the ball high, wide and handsome, anywhere else on the park, we knew it was ending like this - again!
lmao.

No excuses we weren't good enough simples.

God help us, English fans feeling smug that having a pool about 20 times bigger to choose from makes one feel immeasurably superior to a neighbouring country that in reality is a minnow and did well but not well enough. The defenders who couldn't deal with the injury time equaliser in the summer must shoulder a great burden for not standing up and taking control, the Goalie was poor in his support in that moment.

Does anyone think it is just a co-incidence that England have never even come close to winning that thing again?  Or just bad luck? Or just that they are always like Scotland - also rans?!  Or maybe the "Hand of God" plays a part?
How many years and counting?

Strachan press conference total embarrassment.

We fail because we are too small as players we need to work at genetics (he played 4ft 6in Barry Bannan), will you resign no I'm just thinking about the players and their families, they aren't technically better than us ffs has he seen James McArthur?

The man is a fuucking clown he should be sacked immediately.

they won it with a strong minded manager who knew his best team, if not his best individuals,one who engineered a team spirit and wouldn't listen to the wise men of the press and media.

england always have a chance of a decent result as long as alli keeps diving

Got what we deserved in the end. Shocking team selection.
Aided and abetted with the 1-1 draw with Lithuania and throwing away our lead v England.
When do the Euro qualifiers start?

Didn't fancy going to Russia anyway.

Here you go aka ...

I think we should just all agree that both England and Scotland are sh!te in their own ways and leave it at that.

but that scotland are clearly more sh!te

that was scotland's best ever chance to qualify as we usually have 2 big teams in our group and this year we had no big teams in the section.

we should have been able to qualify from a group like that but once again we don't have an international class striker who we can depend on to score goals.

slovakia miss playoffs

Seems unfair that one country misses out.

bit of a shambles when you need a abacus to work out who might be going through. must be a better way of doing it

can't really complain if you only get 18 points though. there's basically 12 free points in every group before you play anyone remotely competent. 6 points from the other 6 games ain't good

Total disgrace,actually have to feel for Slovakia.....

Serves them right. People moan about teams to scared to lose and then feel upset that the team that could only get 18 points out of 30 doesn't get in to the qualifiers. They were second seeds as well and still couldn't gather enough points to fininsh above the second placed teams who weren't 2nd seed teams.

**** Setup.Ridiculous!

Nah as long as you have a primary 5 level of mathematics you can understand it.

Ok then you are right,FIFAs money driven bias makes it all very understandable,and fair for all.....

So 19 points okay then. Makes a mockery of the game.
Tightest group at a disadvantage under this system.

think we can agree it's a ludicrous qualifying format but 18 or 19 points neither is very good with 2 pub teams in each group. can't really consider yourself hard done by. that's switzerland getting 27 points and still ending up in a play off

It's no different from away goals or goal difference being used to decide a winner, league position or qualifier. You're always going to get situations in football where the difference between the winner or a league position is by the most razor thin margin. Considering some teams won't qualify based on goal difference or away goals it's hardly an issue to cry about because out of 9 teams the one with the lowest points of them doesn't go in to a playoff.

That's why we got rid of the manager.

We had an easy group and didn't qualify.

If I am not mistaken sucker, and I know u are obsessed by all things England, u were 8 (yes EIGHT) points behind England. Who were probably the worst England team this Millennium.
