    I see ErrTÉ appear to think Hendrick will be making up the defensive numbers in Wilson's absence...

    I know the FAI are to assess him, but did McCarthy have an assessment at Everton today then and, if so, has there been any indication as to the seriousness of the concern?

    not sure if that played into his omission from the squad, but if it did, it's understandable
    if my experience of having a week old baby and a hormonal wife at home is anything to go by, I'd be begging to go to Glasgow. He's got a mother in law I presume. Use her.

    Fran Rooney said that? Jaysus. So that's what spawned the Delaney School of Populism.

    He'll be grand. The false info being spread is all part of Roberto Martinez's anti Ireland & pro Scotland agenda which obviously stems from his time (1 season) @ Motherwell....wait sorry, I meant to post this on YBIG not here...my bad.

Its just not fair!
    And what about McGoldrick? Is there no outrage reserved for him? I hope the Tartan Army know he also had the audacity to turn down an approach by Strachan who was dead set on convincing him to play for Scotland!

    Hard to keep up with all the various articles but I don't think this was linked already. Decent read.

    My impression is that every now and again a manager comes in for scotland and takes them out of some hole, does well, then they get on a bit of a good run, before falling flat.

    After Strachan had his vacuous boot boy moment, Mark McGhee sagely restores some decorum to the occasion "I don't think there will be any other issues. Anything else will be drowned out by the support that hopefully the Scotland fans give their own team, rather than wasting energy on anything else. I know from European nights that the atmosphere that can be generated at Parkhead, like Ibrox, is just sensational.

    Pretty much a non stop backslapping affair about how good it's been so far with Gordon.

    The appropriate time for participating in these programs is after your team has qualified, after they have proven the case. The Scots are getting high on theory.
    I agree with those sentiments completely but it was actually a decent watch I thought. Strachan's words on MON and Keane I found particularly enlightening, as well his views on the modern player.

    What was the gist of what he said on O'Neill and Keane?

    I suppose there wasn't an awful lot to it really but he said that he really enjoys O'Neill's company and wit. Think he kind of made it out that they've spent a considerable amount of time in each others company, which I thought kind of contradicted quotes from MON I read today. He said they sometimes speak for hours about music and movies! MON also tends to go off on mad tangents when telling stories.

    He confirmed what Keane said in the book about their first meeting when he was about to sign him for Celtic. Spoke about Keane's sense of humour and how he was absolutely no trouble to manage whatsoever. He said that Keane used spend a huge amount of time with the younger players at the club talking to them about football.

    Back in his day they were expected to play game after game, season after season and he just can't understand how they talk about player fatigue these days, he says footballers are meant to be fatigued! He compared them to Formula 1 cars, that all of a sudden there are many different things that can go wrong with them.
