Wales Vs Scotland

Good to see Paul Ritchie Silence his critics. I actually thought he was having a fantastic game up until the 40 second mark! Hmmm its hard to think where we go from here, we had a lot of players out through injury but realisticly only Barry Ferguson and Elvis Pressley might have made a difference. Bah its too depressing to think about!

worst result and performance in years. At least when France and Holland took us apart you could say they were world class, sadly Wales are nowhere near world class. Get rid of ritchie, why are we bothering with him. He' s quite clearly not good enough, theres a reason as to why he's playing for walsall

Exactly, hes found his level in the english lower leagues and that says it all for me.

Time for Berti to go i'mafraid. 2nd string Welsh team and they humped us. He can't motivate the players any more

Scotland are a shit team the only players playing half decent last night in my opinion were Fletcher and Dickov, Douglas sucked so bad and yes we had players not fit but the only one that may have made a difference would have been Pressley, Ferguson is far to over rated.

thats true, plus we are good at pub sports like darts, snooker et al, because we are the best in the world at going to the pub! Vogts still has trouble with the language and we need someone like Strachan to come in and motivate the team using gutter language which they will understand. Give it 18 months and we'll be laughing! Hope the rugby boys can put in a good performance against England tomorrow night as well!

Wednesday against Wales was disgraceful. Nothing more, nothing less. You thought after the Holland game that it was just unfortunate and could blame it on Holland's quality as opposed to our lack, but such a heavy defeat at a team such as Wales really has to act as a wake up call to our national bosses, and us as fans. Berti Vogts has done nothing in his two years, full stop. He claims to have a long term plan, but half his contract has elapsed and no physical improvement can be acknowledged, if anything we have got worse. The team on Wednesday looked frail, uncertain and out of practice, mainly due to the poor tactics adopted, the fact some "key players" were missing, and it was yet another new combination of players, ones who, yet again, had no chance to gel and develop. The fact most of our players also sit on the bench at Premiership clubs meaning they get no competitive match practice, explaining their lacklustre, clueless performance.

At least under Craig Brown we had a good reliable defence, and could get draws even if we couldn't usually put the ball in the net. Unfortunately now we seem to have nothing. Paul Ritchie in the Scotland defence had a terrible day, but cannot be solely blamed. Something needs to be done, and fast, or Scotland are going to become a laughing stock.

Yeah your right Vogts should be out, he wanted time to build a team and hes had plenty and all he does is change the players around every single game calling n e one up who are able to play for scotland, he should make a team up and keep with them allowing them to gel more
