@delboyc75 @SPFL_Fitba_Fan I've put the whole blame on the SFA, to be honest. Scottish footballes problems are much deeper rooted than failing to qualify out a group in major tournament. Failing to qualify is just the end result.

@talkSPORT Taking a point from Morocco or Brazil was always a big ask, which is why beating Haiti 1-0 was never going to be good enough. The problems in Scottish football are bigger than not being out the group. The whole youth player development structure needs revamped for a start.

@FrankCastleMilk @Mr_P_Shooter @OkItsGrant @msm_monitor I think the issue is deeper rooted and multifaceted. Starting with young kids. Why are we asking them to play football in winter, on mucky pitches, in the wind rain and sleet? They would learn more and enjoy football more playing in summer leagues from April to October.

@thehighmessiah1 @EwenDCameron If it's not the manager, are the players not good enough to compete at that level? And if it is the players, that means there is something deeply wrong within Scottish football.

@KemiBadenoch You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Because you don't like it, doesn't mean it should be illegal. It just means you don't like it and you need to suck it up.

@euanmac0511 @Scottish_Anglo @_CM_67_ Exactly. We aren't creating anything. We can go 1-0 down after a couple of minutes, but we should be able to expect some kind of fight back.

@Celtic__Tigress @msm_monitor Honestly, I don't think it's that complicated. We start by banning SFA sanctioned, U18 winter football and play those leagues April to October. Kids will learn a lot more and enjoy playing a lot more, playing on proper grass pitches, in better weather.

@Celtic__Tigress @msm_monitor I think we need to properly define "technically gifted". Norway, Denmark and Croatia have roughly the same population as Scotland or less, and are consistently producing far better players. We need a massive change in Scottish football.

@Mr_P_Shooter @OkItsGrant @msm_monitor Yeah but what did we create? Nothing. There is something seriously wrong with Scottish football and there has been since the early 90s. Our so called 3 best players, McGinn, McTominey, Ferguson, would all struggle to get a start in most of the team that qualified out the groups.

@RedHighlander83 @bud72 Qualifying for the Euros and the WC will be used as evidence of progress in Scottish football, when the reality is so much different. Even in the unlikely event that we get to the knockout stages, it's just papering over the cracks. Something needs to change fast.

@electricjimbo @ammandev Mate, he left the ground! He was airborne, and literally jumped into him, making zero attempt to play the ball and his right leg impeded the Ghanaian players left leg from moving forward. It's a pen every day of the week! 😅

@DavidHeadViews @edwinhayward Because OP is under the assumption that the young people who voted to remain in the EU would vote to rejoin. The terms of rejoining would be much different for the terms we had when we left. Adopting the Euro and joining the Schengen area for starters.

@SP_EnergyPeople That's not really much help. Why not rectify the issue before it becomes an issue?

@SP_EnergyPeople Why am I being told by your customer service team that I need to wait until my prepayment meter runs out of credit and I go off grid before someone will repair or replace the faulty meter?
