Inside Left 16 November @ 06:47 PM EST
George Burley was finally removed from his post as manager of the Scotland national side this evening, bringing to an end the managerial run of a man who in the end "managed" to make even Berti Vogts look good, and whose dismal record in charge of the national squad is second only to the late [...] Click to continue reading...

Ally Mcoists Thoughts On Scotland

Soccer Tickets Online 10 September @ 11:40 AM EST

George Burley's future as Scotland manager may be hanging in the balance but Ally McCoist believes the national team's problems date back much further than the current regime.

The former Scotland striker always had faith in his nation's ability to compete against the best in the world and that belief was reinforced when he took his seat alongside the Tartan Army at Hampden and watched Burley's men match the might of Holland.

Dexy’s unbiased* World Cup round up

OK Football Finder 08 September @ 01:00 AM EST

(Excluding England but there's loads about Maradonna.)

After Saturday's borefest against Slovenia, I left Wembley straight for the West End for some top quality Saturday night footy chat, mid quality shape-making and bottom quality pulling in O'neills. Desperately trying to get the results of the dozens of make or break games, I was made up by the end of the night with the outcome of pretty much everything apart from a non-result with Kathleen from County Kerry (or should that be a clean sheet!

World Cup Picture Getting Clearer for Some, Others? Not so Much

Center Holds It 06 September @ 02:05 AM EST
World wide world cup match days are the next best thing to the actual world cup, particularly when we are in the last throes of the schedule. It's like a 1st round March madness day, but twice as long. A few more tickets were punched, and a few other have the porter in the next cabin. Others are starting to feel a little too uncomfortable.

Scotland 2 – 0 Macedonia – 5th September – Burley’s boys battle on

goalpost.tv 05 September @ 11:41 AM EST
.Scotland managed to keep their slim world cup dream alive as they overcame a stubborn and technical Macedonian side. The boo's and jeers rang out around a wet Hampden Park at half-time as the performance from the Tartan Army was less than convincing. Macedonia dominated much of the first period and found hole after hole in [. Click to continue reading...

The Death of Scottish Football

KICK THE BALLS 12 August @ 09:50 PM EST

If you're Scottish, you are watching your football nation die. Once, a thriving field of imaginative players lived in this football worshiping country; now a dead zone, populated by footballing zombies. Scotland's 4-0 defeat against Norway in the World Cup qualifier ranks as the worst effort by a Scottish team, probably, ever.

Scots Wey Hey?

I can't quite figure it out but I really think I'm beginning to care less and less about Scotland.I'll watch the game on Wednesday night. And I'll be keen for us to do well. But I'll be watching more in hope than expectation, I'll be an armchair fan with very little invested in the result.The thought of taking a trip to Hampden, far less trekking to Oslo, fills me with absolutely no wonder at Click to continue reading...

Mission: Impossible - trying to stop the Tartan Army getting drunk

Frankly, they would be better off throwing their resources into a major operation to win the World Cup for Scotland [. Click to continue reading...

Birmingham and ex-Everton striker ‘fighting for the cause’, despite speculation

Caught Offside 05 August @ 10:52 AM EST
It was less than a year ago when James McFadden sent the Tartan Army delirious, after his thirty-yard strike was enough to give Scotland a 1-0 win away to France in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. Despite his international heroics, 'Faddy' continued to struggle holding down a first-team place at Everton .. Click to continue reading...

2008 Euro Qualifying Saturday Preview: Group B

Football is for the Madman 11 October @ 05:00 PM EST
All top three teams in the group are involved in must-win matches if they want to keep their positions on the table. The most intriguing of the three matches is without a doubt the Ukraine at Scotland. The Zhovto-Blakytni must win to have any chance of advancing though it looks mission impossible anyhow, and the Tartan Army need the three points just to keep ahead of their nemeses, Italy and France.
