Anyway, back to Andy Murray. That guy makes me proud to be Scottish.
Anyone watch the tennis this morning?

Sorry to drag it back to Scottish sporting failures but couldn't resist this from the BBC website

I was saying to smange on twitter he is already talking about other results going our way in the group and we could have been top. Eh it was one game into a qualifying campaign and he is talking like that. No wonder we are crap if that is the inspiration he gives.

Headless chickens playing negative football and lacking basic passing skills. Levein takes uninspirational to a new level.

I was thinking last night after watching that rubbish.
How many years is it since Scotland had a decent team?
For me it must be 40 years.

Now I stopped following Inbternational football years ago however listening to Levien over the last few days are shocking. He said something along the following lines about Jordan Rhodes
"....he is just starting out in his international career and has just moved to Championship football and International football is a different game from league 1.............."
Now am I not right in saying the player he fiercley defended, Paul Dixon, is playing at the club Rhodes just left?
The guy is clueless.

Just seen the interview with Chris Coleman after his Wales team were thumped 6-1 last night, and he said "I accept responsibility, im the manager".
Well done that man for honesty and manning up instead of the arrogant comments of Levein in blaming everyone and everything else for Scotlands failings and refusing to accept that he is being well paid to do a job that he is clearly failing in.
I see he also has at least one player, Gary Caldwell also blaming the negativity of the fans for the poor performances. What is it with some current football players and managers that they dont seem to understand this is their jobs and they are being well paid for it, its their job to go out and perform to the best of their ability which in turn will get the fans on their side.
Come on SFA get rid of Levein before you lose the fans

Spot on and Dixon was probably our best player over the 2 games really is laughable.

Next match is Wales v Scotland. Losers can stop kidding themselves about qualification.
Has 0-0 written all over it. Except that Wales always seem to beat us nowadays.

Why? I t was a decent draw within a fairly easy* group. Second place was well within reach.
*I realise there is no such thing as an easy game/group but on paper there is.

Bit optimistic IMO Chris ,, Belguim , Croatia , Serbia... been honest i thought it was between yerselves & Wales for 4th & 5th .. with macedonis holding up the group
Not having a go or anything but seriously , with that idiot managing ye, has no idea how to manage international team & constantly contradicting what he says is just undermining the very little confidence that was there for some ..
Ireland need to do the same as Scotland , scrap the old guard & blood the youngsters , write off this qualifying campaign as an experience builder , Ireland need to play McClean on the left , coleman on the right , Mcarthy in the middle with whelan or fahey ,, up front we have great options (if not such great players) Doyle , Long , Cox , Walters , keane is past it now ..
.
I think ireland have the making of a good squad but like Scotland our manager will seem to do it his way ..

Serbia are pish and were easily beatable Probably Croatia winning the group with us having a go with Belguim for second spot BUT if we had won our two HOME games to start with confidence would have been up and who knows where it would have went.

Yes , for years we have complained about tough draws.
We get a not too difficult one and start like ninnies.
