Turned out to be a pretty good group, and although Scotland didnt wrap themselves in glory ultimately, they still did quite well, and it gives some hope for the future. We are not overladen with great players; in fact we dont have any, but they have mostly worked well as a team. Long may it continue

Both Poland and Ireland took points from Germany while we struggled to pick them up from Georgia.
The league table never lies at the end of the campaign.

This must be a thunderbirds thread. International Rescue is as close to international as Sevco will ever get.

What about Pete Lawwell? They seem to let him run everything else in the Scottish game so surely it's the next logical step? Mind you, if that happened there might have to be some sort of show of accountability and that doesn't seem like his bag.
The bigger problem for me is the selection of players. Strachan's cronyism was detrimental to our cause and we could be doing with a captain capable of showing leadership, but even if his team picks were terrible at times, it's hard to see too many more players who could come in to the squad and improve it. Some of the more promising young players from a year or two ago have stalled and I don't see the squad for World Cup qualifiers looking drastically different.

Very disappointed to not make the play offs at least. Kind of torn in terms of where we go from here, On one hand we competed well with germany and poland and were unlucky not to beat the republic home and away. only the georgia away result could really be claimed as a bad one.
Then on the other hand we only won 2 games outside the gibraltar ones. Stick or twist ?

From the outset we were relying on Germany winning all of their games and they didn't.
Had they done so we'd have been in the playoffs .
