  1. Good wee bounce on donations today with another 9 donations.
  2. I'd rather we went in like underdogs than like previous years when we thought we were better than we actually were and ultimately failed. Folk go on about the great sides of the 70s/80s but ultimately they believed they were better than they actually were and achieved nothing but failure. This team can change that.
  3. We have played 5 games since qualifying, Draw the two competitive ones (One away to Georgia where we only ever have lost in the past and at home to Norway who were seeded above us). France away we were outclassed against a far superior team, Holland away could have been 3-3 and we feel apart from we took off our 3 best players on the night. Only real negative has been the NI game and the last 20 mins or so vs Holland. Far, far too much negativity aimed at a team and management who qualified with a bit to spare.
  4. It's been on several killie pages on facebook with 1000s of members plus Twitter etc.
  5. Has to be a massive benefit of having a PS literally yards from RP.
  6. I'm not sure the performance school is a failure - plenty good players coming through from them. Nowhere near the levels of Brown era. Last squad - 4 players over the age of 30. Starting 11 had 2 player over 30 (Robertson who has just turned 30) and Cooper (who isn't a regular starter at 32) In our staring 11 the ages were. 28 30 28 32 26 22 29 22 28 29 27 Plenty of those players have at least 1 or 2 campaigns (even more for Gilmour etc) left in them after this year.
  7. I think that was just so they got a run out before Euros without it being too taxing. To play 5 games in that period of time (plus hopefully) knock out games would be too much.
  8. We will be playing top teams in the summer. We are also in group A in the Nations league. I'd rather we tested ourselves, playing top teams and learning from mistakes, than doing what Levein and Strachan did and play likes of Estonia, Faroes and Luxembourg in friendlies to boost your win %.
  9. Cove Rangers at home for one.
  10. Clarke played Patterson and Gilmour as 18 and 19 year olds. the former at a major tournament when he was 19. Has a Scotland manager ever played an 19 year old at a major tournament? Not sure what young players there are just now that would be in with a shout of the squad? Tommy Conway at push perhaps.
  11. Who would you call up/play other than those who played recently? He has built success based on a a settled squad/team.
  12. For that reason we are holding off.
  13. Think you have to buy them up there
