I thought the same. That high wide angle camera view was just teasing us.I actually said he's missed it as it hit the roof of the net. Must have been the angle of the camera

What a weird game.
Scotland were awful for the first 60 minutes, so bad that even the dog stopped watching.
Greece played lovely football and should have been three or four goals in front [again]
Then thirty mins of scrappy stuff with three scrapy goals and a wonder save by Gunn later.
3-1
I wonder what odds you could gave got on that after the first hour.

I thought Stevie G was nailed on when he came over for an interview... I wonder what put him off... 
... Tbh I never even remembered he was at rangers for 3 seasons..

I think it could work in Rangers favour not getting Gerrard. If they can get an experienced manager that can play positive attacking football they'll do well. I'd go for the Bodo Glint manager.I thought Stevie G was nailed on when he came over for an interview... I wonder what put him off...

No great shakes again today, but against an improving Ross County a draw keeps StJ at top of the table and unbeaten after 10 games.

Couldn’t understand the excitement about Gerrard coming back. He won 1 domestic trophy out of 9 in his spell, then walked out mid season.
McInnnes would be a good choice, but can’t see him leaving the Jambos.

He won the league from nowhere and went the whole season unbeaten. That was quite a feat.

It was, but it did help that Celtic totally self destructed under Lennon.
What about the other 8 trophies he failed in?
I remember when he walked out, Rangers fans weren’t that bothered, and were claiming that Beale was the real brains behind the operation

I liked your Bodo idea but think they will go for a British manager.

Not my idea.
They should go all out for McInnes imo, make him an offer he can’t refuse. If they can’t get him, then Dyche is a good bet, the football won’t be pretty, but it will be effective.
As an Everton fan I can confirm, no it won't be pretty. Nor will it ever be pretty. He might stabilise the football side of things but fans won't enjoy the ride.

At the moment, we need effective not pretty.
Fans only enjoy football when they win, that’s what counts.
You say that but turgid soon wears thin. Simply winning when you aren't sounds like a panacea but when you are grinding results out and little more then it isn't enough. After all, football is meant to be entertaining as well.
Get him in, don't give him more than a two year deal. That way, when you've had enough of what you are watching you simply don't renew his contract and it doesn't cost you to get rid

It was dire against Greece…but I’ll take it. Need to get Scotland to the WC whatever as I can’t have a Scotland team in my club’s WC Texas scramble comp unless they are…and for as long as the comps been running there hasn’t been Scotland team in it.
Meanwhile Belarus should be a trot in the Mount Florida sunshine this afternoon…chances are it could turn out to be a load of trotts, but a Scotland win I’ll accept a doze.

What’s so bad about his style of play?
It's a safety first approach. Pack the defence and midfield, restrict the midfield from breaking and joining up with the solo striker. The striker will be lonely, very lonely.
Goals will come from set pieces or a break, containing 2-3 players only. 1-0 wins are his target.
He's a pragmatic coach but he's not able to move beyond damage control. If you want that, crack on, but blimey it will be a tough watch. Oh, and he won't change. It will just be more of the same.

The very nature of the EPL makes about 16 teams play like that.
Martin at least gave it a go with Southampton, played with a bit of flare but that just got him the sack.

Turned them down last night.
Southampton under Martin shipped goal after goal via the keeper and defenders trying to play Beckenbauer football and failing. He kept doing the same week after week, they were so easy to play against. Had he compromised there a little, kept the flare for further up the pitch, he may still have been employed by them.
A bit of compromise when needed, from either end of the spectrum, not hard to grasp. Some managers become blinkered though (see Amorim at Utd right now)
