Not quite who I was expecting... Scotland must be loving their European Championship qualifying group: France, Italy & Ukraine ;)

I love Roberto Donadoni and he appears to be a damn fine manager as well. Hope he does well, I certainly think he will

... Scotland must be loving their European Championship qualifying group: France, Italy & Ukraine ;)Haha - at least we're out of the darkness that was the incompetent Bertie Vogts.We gave the Italians a good game at Hampden and really should have won,and only 2 Pirlo free kicks beat us over in Milan.We have a good record against the French,especially at home,and with everyone announcing their international retirement plans,I'm quietly optimistic of a wee shock.Not insanely optimistic but I think it could be on the cards.;)

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Nelly again.

Just for the courage / stupidity :p

Agree about the Italy game though, seems strange that you had the World Champions on the rocks... bizarre.

You have the talisman Darren Fletcher.Well,I didn't immediately think of him but,yeah,whatever.;)
What we do have now is a lad that knows where the goal is.......Kriss Boyd.Keep an eye open for him.He's a goalmachine.:D

Still the provider of the ball to him is Darren the Wonderkid.

I think it's a good move: he's certainly the best of the available coaches in Italy, and he's one of the most dynamic and creative.

So...errr...Donadoni. Great player for both Milan and Italy. But not exactly the sparkling managerial career that you'd expect the World Champions to appoint. Have to admit I'm not familiar with his managerial achievements...he's never been at a club more than a year has he? :confused:

He was very good with Livorno until the (crazy) chairman made some nasty comments, so he quit. Afterwards Livorno started going downhill...

Where are the other optimistic guys from Scotland to support you in the "election campaign" :)
Can you tell me why Scotland plays always so bad away games. For instance playoffs against Holland before Euro 2004???
Thankfully Bertie Vogts didn't become polish national team coach.
