The surgery required on Brewsters right shoulder was more drastic than anticipated.

IHE seen licking the behind of an authority figure! :010:

And I can't believe Stuart Baxter hasn't been mentioned :015:

My mum's 1975 diary mentions that 2 Inverness men had a whisky drinking race, and both died within hours. Which brand would it have been?

Couldn't be much worse. But we've won there before.

How long ago did they have their success?

Gordon Smith was on the radio last night saying that they wouldn't be afraid of paying a fee to get the right manager, but I cannot imagine the SFA paying megabucks. Other snippets were that he already had 12 serious names put forward (either directly or through interested managers' agents), and that the new manager would almost certainly be Scottish.

I'm sure some people would like Brewster to be on that list.

:003:

No surprise given the comments he's been making over the last few days. At least he never made false promises. Apparently he was only on basic of about ?7,000 a week at Scotland. If the SFA want an interim manager to step in on the same wage for the next 9 months when there are no matches, I can make myself available.

It belongs here, not least because the Rankin bit is a genuine story. What I was getting at was just that it's maybe a bit premature to criticise a decision to let go of Black and Hart when it's just speculation from a journalist filling column inches, as far as I can see.

The references to Hart and Black "possibly moving on" look like a journalist's speculation rather than anything of substance.

After the World Cup draw yesterday, Chico Young again asked Eck if he'd be in charge for the campaign. The response did not contain anything remotely resembling the word yes, it was all non-committal diplomatic phrasing like "the first match is a long way off"and "a lot can happen in football". Who can blame him for keeping his options open and at least he's being honest about it. Anyway, the reason for this post is that Billy Davies is now unemployed. IF the Scotland vacancy arises this week, would he be a contender?

You mean it's gone up in value?!

Confirmed by Radio Scotland. Phew!

Oh sh1t! :008:

The only 5 team group : Holland Scotland Norway Macedonia Iceland Could be better, could be worse. Good chance of being runners up and getting a play-off.

What time is the draw today? Is it being televised?

I have never booed or abused the team or any player at a game, ever. I do however think it's perfectly fair to discuss performances and abilites (or lack thereof) in the pub afterwards, in the car back down the A9, or on here. Websites like this exist to share opinions!

I think Rory is utterly sh1t and shouldn't be anywhere near our first team, but nobody should boo any player who is simply doing his best. He was drafted in to help because Bayne is suspended and Brewster and MacDonald are not fully fit.

Didn't sound pretty but it's a much needed 3 points.

Good to be in front, against a team who (touch wood) don't score many goals. As for Blackie, if he did indeed walk out v Motherwell then he quite simply has to be dropped, regardless of his abilities on the pitch. If indiscipline and disrespect like that goes unpunished, chaos ensues.

I think we can kiss goodbye to McLeish. "I don't have any plans to vacate my position" is not any sort of denial of interest in other jobs, and is a million miles away from something like "I'm fully committed to Scotland and will be leading our World Cup campaign." Who can blame him for wanting a move to the Premiership, be it Birmingham or the next one that comes along.

Is this the first time Montenegro have been a separate team? I'd imagine they'd be better than the other pot 6 teams.
