I've always been a supporter of Scotland no matter who played for them or who managed them because I'm Scottish!

This is no longer the case the appointment of Mcleish disgusts me.

Why? Aren't you Scottish any more? Who else would you suggest for manager?

@cease - perhaps the OP is disgusted that scotland have a manager who himself dodged tax. Not only that, resided over our rivals while they carried out the worst case of cheating in Scottish football history.

Surely McLeish should be punished not rewarded?

That may all be true but the OP said he'll support his country no matter who is in charge. What he should've said was as long as its not McLeish. I personally couldn't give a toss. Peter Grant is there in any case, he'll help him with his reading and stuff.

I agree raw, it’s an appalling appointment, SFA in desperation. Only in Scotland where corruption is a given for a certain cult.

Was never too bothered about Scotland games. I would watch them if they were relevant to tournaments but usually found them a pain in the erse as it meant Celtic weren't playing that week. This decision though has probably did it for me. I have now lost any faith in this farcical institution, the SFA. This is the wrong person for the Scotland managers job. A tax cheat, who walked out on his country before and an absolute slimebag of a man in charge of a national team but declaring that he doesn't want independence for the country he's managing! An absolute joke.
You were talking about his big forehead Ed, that's cause the guy's got more front than Brighton!

@cease

The ops opening paragraph said up until now he has always supported scotland. His second paragraph says that changed when scotland appointed McLeish. Which is what you said he should do.

The OP did not claim he will always support scotland regardless of what happens, so you are mistaken with your opening sentence.

If you have a different opinion from the OP then that is fine as it is a subjective topic. What is right for one may not be right for another.

Fair enough raw. I wouldn't watch Scotland if they were playing in my garden. The OP has a problem with McLeish, fair enough, but he supported them when Walter Smith was manager. All charges aimed at McLeish must surely apply to Smith? Although I'm not aware of his political leanings regarding independence.

I thought Roy Aitken was going to be second in command? Obviously not.

I agree that the same charges apply to smith as well. However, what we need to remember is that the EBTs hadn't made it to the public domain until after smith had left the roll of scotland manager.

I like you don't care about the scotland national team. However I do care that our governing body colluded with rangers to cheat everyone in Scottish football and the rules have not been applied. I personally won't be satisfied until the rules are applied properly and there is a clear out of the old guard at the sfa and we get transparency in the governing body so this never happens again.

Does no one ever question people like McLeish, and Mccoist and Ferguson about ebts, at press conferences, and if they were a loan, why don't they pay them back to BDO.

aindoh if any one did question them about that there career would be over in this country the secret hand shakers would make sure of that.

Cease when Mcleish and smith where in charge before we didn't know about the cheating the extent we do now.

For the sfa to employ Mcleish again knowing about what went on shows they don't care how corrupt it all was therefore I have totally lost faith in the sfa.

This is my opinion and my view you and everyone else are entitled to theirs.
