More fitba

I'm appalled by the treatment that Berti Vogts is receiving in the press and by so called fans at the airport. The newspapers (led by The super soaraway Scum) are spewing hate, that is almost certainly racist, upon the hapless Scotland manager. That he will go is now certain isn't even enough for them as they now focus on the pay off he'll receive. This and the shameful scenes at the airport of the "Tartan Army" spitting at members of the squad and SFA lead me to believe that Scottish Football from the fans down to the pub teams need a reality check.

Scottish Football is mince, you are crap, rubbish, deal with it. Yes Berti has been a disaster and you should be doing better with the players you've got but you'll never qualify for a major tournament again. The world of football has moved on and left you behind. A better manager will be able to motivate and instill some sort of shape but it will not be enough. Once you had 2 or 3 genuine world class players in every squad, now you have a permanently injured Bazza "Fud" Ferguson and a legend in his own mind (but no-one else's), McFadden. Playing at their best, mid-table average is all you can achieve.

Changing the manager can and does work, look at my own glorious norn iron, this time last year ridiculed for playing 1300 minutes without scoring a goal. Out goes Sammy McIlroy, in comes Lawrie Sanchez and watch the goals flood in. He's instilled confidence and a formation based on our strengths. Norn Iron football is even worse than Scotland with our 3 top premier league teams probably on a power with the bottom half of the Scottish First Division. That's how bad it is. Once, like Scotland, we produced world class players, Best, Blanchflower, Jennings, Peacock, Whiteside but no longer. Most of our current squad comes from the English lower leagues but we can hold our own against better opposition. Even through the recent dark days the fans never give up supporting the team, Scotland (the fans, the press and the SFA) should take a good hard look at themselves and be ashamed.
