    No because they played for the country they were asked to play for and didn't go changing their minds

    To be totally fair, I didnae see the first half :bandit:

    Listened to it on the tranny whilst belting along the M8.

    Forrest came on and with his touch created a chance for himself (the rebound of which could've easily fallen to Rhodes), then gets back up off the deck and dinked probably the most inviting ball I saw to the back stick - Mackie is a brilliant wee player and defences don't know what to do with him.

    I know it's frustrating playing with one up front at home but that's what Eck and Smith did and it keeps us in the game as long as possible and stops us losing any control over the midfield (passing-wise the Serbs were streets ahead of us from what I saw).

    I'm ****ein' it about this group.

    Wales and Belgium are both way better than us and, if Saturday's anything to go by, we might get a dicking in Belgrade.

    Forrest should have been on sooner but a quick shuffle and pie boy adam gets substituted instead of Snodgrass no rocket science.

    Steven Fletcher is a must though Kenny Miller runs about all over the shop, half the time we had a ball in the box it was Naismith almost getting on the end of it not Miller.

    Snodgrass <laugh>

    What a **** name!! <laugh>

    When I stayed at my old house, we got new neighbours, I got talking to the lassie who was telling me that her and her Welsh fiance were getting married in the summer and that she was a primary school teacher.

    So I asked her what the kids call her just now, she said "Miss Woods" (I can't remember!)

    Then I asked her what the kids would be calling her once married, she said "Mrs Hornbuckle" <laugh>

    I literally burst out laughing, which she didn't take too kindly to.

    Then one time I started paving part of our wee front garden, Mr Hornbuckle has just washed his car while I was putting the sand down, he goes into the house and I started the Stihl Saw to cut the slabs, dust ****ing everywhere but mostly deposited on his car, so I wrote "sorry" on his windscreen.

    That didn't go down well either <laugh>

    Qualification has its arse hanging out of the window now, in this group we had to win all our home games, with the possible exception of the game against the team that takes first place;forget brazil, we will be nowhere near it.

    A new manager could start building for euro 2016.

    There is no way that Levein is going anywhere anytime soon. He was given complete control of Scottish fitba right from the bottom to the very top. The SFA aren't going to change things so quickly cos of some terrible results and the fact that we are not going to Brazil.

    They took a huge risk giving him so much control and it's not yet paying off.

    I used to like Levein but then a few things happened

    Bill Leckie started the Levein for Scotland fanfare

    Levein told David Marshall (i think) to warm Scotland's bench in a friendly, when Marshall had a cup game for his club, and said if he didn't do it Marshall would never be selected again

    Playing 0 up front

    I actually don't even know why Fletcher fell out with him but I bet its Leveins fault

    The SFA are a complete and utter shambles.

    If you're going to give someone free reign over the whole of Scottish Football, at least give it to someone who has won something in the game as a manager and who has managed at the very top.

    Levein asked him to remove his "Levein is a speccy **** who looks like a jakey with that grey beard" tattoo which Fletcher refused.

    He's no that big. Saw him at the picture hoose in Coatbridge. I was stood next to him for a few minutes wondering if I'd be one of those twats that asked for an autograph or be a fawning(sp) "am a bear" twat. In the end, I said nothing. True story.

    Oh, and Levein is ****.

    It was a belter ... he looks like a good player. Levien involved him before ... why not now when we are struggling for good forwards!
