Here's a straight question to ask - do we dump Strachan after a Slovakia defeat tomorrow night? My 1st query if it happens would be, 'Who on earth would we replace him with anyway'? I don't see many reputable candidates queuing up for the Scotland job. Also sacking our manager before an England match would not be clever.
I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that we're not a very good footie nation any more - it has sunk in and I only live in hope! The root of the problem is much wider than just wee Goggsy and Scotland's inhibitions and we've comprehensively debated these probs before in previous excellent OPs on the subject re the poor state of Scottish footie from grassroots footie upwards. Scan back about 7 years and recall some of the shit that was uttered re Scotland and the role of the Scottish manager - nothing has changed and that's a fact! I pray that we somehow pull off a victory v Slovakia because at least it will lift spirits a wee bit. However, my head tells me a draw is prob the best result that we're gonna attain.
