No WC appearance in 20 years

>no WC appearance in 20 years

How do we fix Scotland?

Nuke it

Couple of nuclear warheads should do the trick

yep

>the burg of Edin

you can't be a successful football nation with 5mil people unless your dirt poor.

people bring up croatia, urugay, serbia etc etc but they are far, far poorer than us, and have a much better climate. our kids are too busy playing fifa on the ps4 and fucking around on snapchat these days to be playing football.

iceland is an anomaly. they'll be back to shite before long. they also have much, much better facilities than us. its a lot easier to concentrate your resources and facilities when you live in a micro-state.

now we just need a decent manager. we don't have terrible players, the pool we have now and the ones we have coming through are the best in 20 odd years. we have better players than northern ireland and ireland, and much, much, much more depth. our real biggest problem is that we don't have any standout talents. we probably have around 40 or 50 players that are around the same level playing in Scotland or the Prem or Championship, but no attacking talents playing for a top team like Bale or Ramsey. If you took our D or E team it would absolutely smash the B teams of Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Defence has also been a real problem for years. We haven't had a half decent centre-defender in 20 odd years. There's not been a strong basis to build a team on like Northern Ireland have been able to do with Evans and McCauley.

Also quite unfortunate that 3 of our best players are all left-backs. Robertson and Tierney are top class players, and we've had to play Tierney at right-back and centre-back to fit him in the team somewhere. Then you have Barry Douglas who is absolutely ripping it up in the Championship for Wolves, who can't even get in the squad at the minute. We also have an 18-year old Tony Gallacher who was recently signed by Liverpool, and another youngster Stephen Kingsley now at Hull, who played 40 odd games for Swansea in the PL.

we need a good manager. someone with international exp. Walter Smith or Bilic or ex-Swiss manager pls

Scotland are very unlucky not only in draws recently, if only they have not lost those needless goals with already eliminated Slovenia, or unlucky goal against Poland at Hampden in EURO '16 qualifiers... :( Pretty sad to see Wales or NI getting some success and Scotland missing out, they are a tough fighters team.

Make it illegal for Scots to sign for Aston Villa

>muh it's about being poor

No, you bum, it's about having a continuous process with dedication. You're two years old over here and you're already kicking a ball. Theres actual competitions of four year-olds that are treated seriously. People saw the english sailors play and went, "I want to play that too and be the best" and so we did.

You brought us the sport then a Scot guy gave us a style of play. We even were a moderately rich country when we won our first world cup so what you said has no sense.

You don't win shit because your players are whiny ass faggots and your main league is oversaturated with our players. Or do you seriously think kids here play videogames and do stupid shit on the intetnet?

Also most of you are actually deluded and/or in a constant state of denial.

unfixable, shit genetics

go look what strachan said. you cant win in modern football with a team of ginger manlets against 6'3 niggers and slavs, especially when youre just as shit at actual football than them, and probably just as dumb

TIL the SPL oversaturated with Uruguayans

I reckon more money needs to be injected into the Scottish leagues.
Having Celtic and Rangers is a blessing. Both have fantastic facilities. But the quality of the league is the worst I've seen in years.

The SPL should have a relationship with the English leagues. Like some sort of relationship in order to benefit British football.

he didnt say how do we fix aston villa m8

That was such a fucking cop-out from Strachan.
Scotland had a decent campaign and fucked it up against Lithuania or some shit.

Are you telling me that there are no big bastards in Scotland? Strachan fielded Anya and Brannan and then used that as an excuse.

There genuinely aren't. It's all the deep fried heroin they eat

t. complete moron

>it's about having a continuous process with dedication

already covered that retard. kids here aren't dedicated bacause they would rather/have no choice but to act like mini adults. theres a massive drinking and drug taking culture in scotland. when you hit 15 most kids start going out every weekend drinking in parks. hundreds of promising footballers get lured into it, because why wouldn't they if all their mates are doing it. we also have awful diets here. ryan fraser moved from Aberdeen to Bournemouth at 18 and the club say it took them over 2 years to sort his diet out it was that. you are conditioned into wanting to eat shite from an early age. our culture isnt conducive to producing footbalelrs

don't talk to a scottish person about passion for football lmao. if you exclude micro countries we have along with england the highest % of total population attending football matches on weekends. considerably higher than most countries in the world. this country is football mad. its not about getting 4 year olds playing, we already have them
>We even were a moderately rich country when we won our first world cup so what you said has no sens

oh, did you have computers, video games, phones, internet and satelite tv's back in the 1930s? fucking idiot. everyone was poor back then. there wasn't any distraction from playing for football for anyone.

>You don't win shit because your players are whiny ass faggots and your main league is oversaturated with our players

don't think theres beena single uruguayan player in scotland ever, champ.

>Or do you seriously think kids here play videogames and do stupid shit on the intetnet?

obviously not as much as here. urugauy is a SUBSTANTIALLY poorer country than Scotland. there are far, far more kids with nothing to do but play football.

you also have a substantially better climate for . the parks, football pitches and streets are uninhabitable for kids for 9 months of the year here.

BANTER

they have the ugliest, most unathletic white people on the planet

t. beta little paki

this lad is 18(17 in this photo) and built like a fridge.

per capita there are way, way, way, way more scottish atheletes with olympic medals than there are spaniards

>Thirty years of pandering to the Old Firm's every single whim whilst taking a fat shit on every one else has yielded zero results, so I'd say the best plan is to pander even more.

t. everyone in charge of Scottish football ever

Invest in facilities, coaching and have patience. Every few years the sfa launch an investigation into why we are shit and everything has to change. For over a year the old cunts at the BBC have said the performance schools which started in 2012.

Players leave at 16 so they are just starting to be old enough to play now and Harry Cochrane who went through them is already good enough for the Scottish Premiership at 16.

They are currently trying to implement Project Brave where they are making new tiers of youth facilities and the better yours are the more money you get which has been a shit show with the clubs not knowing what to do

also these

We are manlets and we have achieved a lot of shit lately. Having worse genetics it's a fact but not that important.

just sign Marcel Koller.
especially with that talent pool, he'd do very well

Damn who’s she

True. Indonesia is made up of manlets but they get better every year
