SuperCC

Because thats how it works and there is a way to do it! Taking your point on board would mean that you could only employ someone who is not already with another club - makes no sense whatsoever!! In all walks of life, people move for new opportunities, promotions, salary increase or as shiteebroony puts it - a better job!!! I'd have him back but then again, I'd have Mcghee back as well

We could all wear some cheap plastic bowler hats and pretend we are "gentlemen"!!

Goes wi the rest of the shite on this page!

Once approached I wouldn't have expected any less from CB & AK than to meet with Aberdeen. These are two blokes from a different generation who are used to doing business face to face and probably wouldn't want to engage over emails/txts/phone etc... Or maybe they just wanted to get them in a room so they could have a good laugh before telling them to GTF!!

I assume you didnae bother brushing your teeth for the rest of that trip

Load of Pish - can just see the refs out there with a spirit level before kick off!! This probably affects many hundreds of grounds around Europe and no one else will give a toss - just the SFA and their little men with rules!!

Randolph, otherwise the game would have been over for us a lot earlier.

Tend to agree with the original comment as Scottish fans have become more subdued over the years and the atmosphere can be electric in places like Italy, Turkey, etc.... What I did notice in both Norway and Denmark was how the Clubs in partnership with the fans have gone to great lengths to generate atmosphere from the fact that they have all the pre match synchronised flag waving with huge club supplied flags and banners, stomping loud music (heard AC/DC at both grounds), all the standing and jumping from fans behind the goals, drums being used to keep the chants going and in sync and generally just much more passion being driven in different ways combined with a much more relaxed stewarding and policing policy. Now neither Odense or Alesund are big city clubs but they both used the same tactics to generate noise from the fans and the only difference was that in Alesund the stadium and crowd was perfect but in Odense the stadium design and lack of bodies didnt help.

Just realised that I still had the Totesport window still open in a tab with all the pre-match odds. Bookies normally get it right and this time they were 100% correct in every category. Shortest odds were: Odense to win. Odense to win 1-0. Utaka to be first goalscorer. First goal to be scored on 28 mins or later. Odense to lead at both Half time/Full time. Could go on but basically the bastards got it right

Having read most of the match threads and inclusive shite I think almost every player (and management) has been slated/blamed/hounded/criticised at some point, including Casagolda and he wasnt even in the squad. Its also the fault of the fans, real radio, the stewards, officials, pissheads outside Ryans bar, some 4 year old boy who wanted a piss and anyone who doesnt wear claret and amber. Have i missed anyone? Shit happens but just how negative can we be as personally I think its been a great run, I had two jollies to both Norway and Denmark with some great memories and more pre-season entertainment in the last few years than we will see in the next 10. PS, actually the officials were shite and are to blame!!

Best idea possible but never going to happen...

+1

Its all so we can at least say "what if" and "if only" and "that fucking ref cost us"....

Sad but true as history dictates that those scum always bounce back from defeat with a decent win in the next game. Still hopeful we will keep our heads high and try to get something from the game.

Sporting, Lille, Levski Sofia, Gent Thats the group we would have been drawn in as UEFA have stuck to the seeding to decide which ball went into which pot . We would have been the ball that Gent were in the draw.

Need to merge the debate in the floating fans thread with this one as apparently Brown is personally responsible for the total demise of Scottish football and is in fact Satan!

Totally agree and well said.

right above us the in the seedings would have been FC Utrecht - so that puts our exit into a lil perspective.

Your right and we would have been in the last pot where AA Gent now are based on the seeding and Aris Thessaloniki would have gone into the 3rd pot. If you want to get really depressed then the AA Gent ball is the one to follow as thats the ball we would have been

I remember most of the last 30 years following Scotland and don't see how Brown/Roxburgh can shoulder any of the blame for the state of Scottish football today. They were both the last and most successful managers we had in charge of the national team and in all their time involved with Scottish football they were in the employment of the SFA. I dont think its a coincidence that there has been a steady decline in both the domestic and national game since about 1998 and that just by chance that is the the time that the SPL was created so that the scum could have control of every aspect of our game whilst dominating, manipulating, raping and pillaging every other club of every resource possible. That combined with the fact that the other clubs don't have big enough balls to stand together and change the system could spell the end of our club games in Europe and the end of more and more clubs. nevermind the fact it has already seen over the total demise of the national team. Obviously this is just my humble opinion and I am open to hear how the SPL has been a great success and that Craig Brown is in fact Satan.

I did doubt their appointment when the announcement was made but like everyone else, I have to admit they are perfect for the job and probably the best we could have done - well done to Mr Boyle (again) for seeing beyond the usual SPL shite managers that do the rounds. Read the report of how the 70 year old threw the punch last night Mr Brown and Mr Knox are proper football Legends

Thinkin of going next door to kick their cat but not sure if thats because I'm frustrated or just cause I hate the little shitebag :)

Enjoy your run and I only wish it was us..... Cheers

Always love that debate but at the end of the day the team that scores most is the winner and do they care if they are better!!
