Scottish football.. Is anyone actually surprised at us not qualifying again?

I think I'd be more surprised if we did qualify. I felt confident, but it was wishful thinking.

    Nahh, it was obvious they wouldn't after the 3-0 drubbing at Wembley, I knew then this was not a world cup quality team.

    We had some poor performances earlier in the campaign and the home draw against Lithiania was a very poor result for us. I wanted Strachan to get the sack after that, but I supported him after he stayed for the sake of our national team. I don't rate Strachan as a manager and that is not sour grapes because we haven't qualified, I just think some of his decision making is terrible. If we are honest, England, Slovakia and Slovenia all played better than us. Even though we finished above Slovenia, they looked a more adept side. However, with the introduction of some younger players into our national team, I am optimistic about the future of our national team.We have a lot of talented youngsters and we just need to give them more of a chance.

    No, not surprised at all. Once again you were not even close to qualify. You were extremly close to getting to a play off (which really surprised me) but I don't think you would have made it to the world cup anyhow.

    Not really, since you're crap at football and have been forever.

    Not a surprise, just we had hope as we 'only' had to win tonight. I think the team selection and approach was all wrong but never mind.

    Doesn't really matter though, its Scotland.
