Terk Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Terk, I reckon you could do a better job judging on your performance in your stories. I just don't get what Burley is trying to do with the side. It sounds horribly negative to say it, but we don't have the quality of player to play the attractive style of game that he likes. I still like the man from his time at Hearts, but in my opinion he's trying to get the players to play a style of game that they're never going to be capable of. Smith and McLeish, dour as it was, got the tactical side of it right, pressure the opposition, get in their face, stop them from playing their game. It's never going to be pretty to watch, but it was more successful. If either McLeish or Smith had had a group as relatively easy as the one Burley just had, I'm certain we'd have had a place in the play-offs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that I'm in the vast minority, but I really couldn't give a monkeys about the apps on the touch. The WiFi would be of more interest for me for web browsing, but I have my phone for doing that and I'm getting a netbook in January, so I probably wouldn't use it that much. Pretty much decided I'm going for the Creative - I'll live with its inferior functionality for better sound quality and the micro sd expandable memory.

Brian W Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm a big fan of Creative MP3 players too...although I'm getting a bit fed up of my X-Fi which seems incapable of remembering settings, and randomly turns itself on (the settings it refuses to remember are to not use the internal speaker, and the volume setting which is always ridiculously high) while charging. On the other hand, I still think its better than being an Apple fanboy. Oh, and I bet on England to lose by 2 or more goals today....how crap is it to watch your nation perform abysmally, but not abysmally enough to win you money?

Peacemaker7 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'll just add what I posted in the Football Forum about the sorry state of Scotland: Its not really as simplistic as just replacing the manager though. IMO Burley has failed, because he did not move the squad forward after the consolidation done by Smith and McLeish. Do we really need to go back to a manager like Smith again who we all know will play a conservative game and if he isn't giving youth a chance at Rangers is he going to do so at Scotland. That's assuming we have youth. Wales put out 17/18 year olds, where are ours? The game needs to be totally shaken up and kids encouraged to start playing it again because the fact it, whilst we may have the odd good player, we do not have have great players and we are a million light years away from having any World Class players. If all the new manager is going to do is keep picking the same sorry bunch as this lot, where is that going to move us anywhere? George Burley spent far too much time getting freebie tickets to see Rangers and Celtic. Lets face it, if he doesn't know what those players can do by now, he never will so why is he watching them virtually week in week out? None of the current crop of Scottish managers fill me with any great confidence and in some ways a decent foreign manager might be able to come in and actually help the game develop - something Berti Vogts did not do. Unless we produce and develop young players we are never going to a World Cup again, and it is up to the SFA and the club to make sure this happens because who else is going to?

Not quarantined, but not allowed to go to work, which is usually a good thing, but I started a new job last week and taking sick leave within two weeks looks quite bad. It's pretty rough, but no worse than the last time I had flu. The doctor said that you treat it as normal flu unless you have underlying health problems, no need for tamiflu etc. PS: PM7, if real life follows FM, Scotland will be ranked number 2 in the world in 2022.

Elrithral Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Swings and roundabouts, people seem to get stuck on the fact that their country isn't producing "talent" as good as years gone by, but it happens to every nation. The good France team had Desailly, Deschamps, Vieira, Zidane and Henry, now they have good players, but I wouldn't consider them anywhere near as good as that team and people rave about their youth setup etc. Same goes for Germany, they are a far cry from the days of Kohler, Matthaus, Moller and Klinsmann. On the other side, Ivory Coast were one of the worst teams in the world, back in the 90's, now they have players playing in some of the biggest teams in the world. Scotland's time will come, but every nation spends some time in the international wilderness and I genuinely don't believe that the way football in that country operates, has that big an effect.
