We can sit here untill were blue in the face and blame one or the other, I don't either. Blame the way how they teach the youngters, " Aye son, boot that ball as far as you can up that pitch and by time, the ball will go in the net"
Were way behind the times of other nations and always will be.

Do players actually get paid for representing there country though and if they do I bet its nowhere near the wages the club pays

It's his opinion - notice he said "I'd say the majority..."
Jings, you're not covering yourself in glory here, are you now?

I believe they do get paid - an appearance fee they used to call it - and it's not really a lot of money. Couple of hundred quid to cover travel etc.
I could be wrong of course, after all this is only my opinion.

Excuse me Metalattakk, are you saying all the Bears are warped?That in itself is a warped agenda.
You state every time you get a chance that your a Bear yet at every opportunity you slag Rangers fans off- Rangers fans get it tight from everyone these days, we dont need our own so called fans sticking the boot in... Away & support Aberdeen or celtc - I dont want fans who appear to revel in backstabbing their own support, its embarrassing .
As for scotland players ,
Its their clubs who pay their wages not the SFA.
they get an appearance money each time they play but it isnt very much.
theres the chance of injury- more so in internationals as Gers & Celts players usually find out to their cost!!!
The chance to be slagged off enmasse by the hamish husband brigade-fans of the diddy clubs whilst playing for their country .
And the chance to work with Steven Pressley George Burley & Terry Butcher, when youve been working with Walter Smith or Sir Alex Ferguson , Martin Oneill, Strachan, fans who worship you, its a bit of a let down for some eh. Then you get to play with the legendary Graham Alexander, Callum Davidson & co

Apologies, I should have said "That statement in itself is indicative of a warped agenda.
I'm a Rangers fan. I'm not a fan of many Rangers fans. I support Rangers for the football, not the tribal bull-dust that surrounds it.You state every time you get a chance that your a Bear yet at every opportunity you slag Rangers fans off- Rangers fans get it tight from everyone these days, we dont need our own so called fans sticking the boot in...

Just because I support the same team as you, doesn't make me the same as you, or any other Rangers fan. We're not a bunch of 8-year-olds, and I don't have to be in your gang, OK?

Tell you what - You can stick to singing songs about wars that happened in faraway countries involving foreign people hundreds of years ago, waving your Union Jacks, singing Rule Britannia and wearing your England top, all to wind up Celtic fans.
I'll stick to supporting my team thank you very much.

1 . I dont own a union flag.
2. Flower of Scotland, isnt that about a battle hundreds of years ago?
3. Id never dream of owning or wearing an Englund top.
4. All my best mates are celtc fans & we know how far to push each other
5. This is a scotland & George burley thread so lets return to it please.
On a brighter note Steven Pressley has been punted from the coaching side of Scotland staff. Hope Butcher is next

Yep, maybe I've got you all wrong, Amy...
But who'd set out the cones for training then? Would you trust Burley to get it right himself?
Looking back on it all, now that it's settled that Burley keeps his job, he's probably the only viable person for the position currently. Best of a bad, bad bunch maybe.

There was a time in the 90`s when Roy Aitken was manager of Aberdeen & he went to see Walter Smith for tips on training as Aberdeen were bottom of the league & Rangers were on 6 in a row at the time, any ways,
Aitken arrives in Govan & Archie Knox & Smith are putting the squad through their paces in training , 1 touch, heading, penalties then Smith gets the cones out and the squad play a 1 touch match through the cones which are painted green & white. Aitken was impressed and told Smith "Im gona try that with my team as your boys are pretty good at the 1 touch stuff, thanks Walter".
A couple of weeks go by & Rangers are due to play Aberdeen at Pittodrie so Walter phones Aitken up on the Thursday & asks "how did you get on with the training since we saw you last?" Aitken says `Not good Walter, we painted the cones the colour of our enemies, blue & white with black& red" , Walter butted in an says "whit do ya mean not good?!"
Aitken says" The cones beat us 2-0 yesterday & 4-0 today"
Strachan would be about the same size as one of those cones, so that rules him out. How about Billy Davies or ...............Gary McCallister

"Argentina, your Blueness?"
Opinion on Burley has been split like a Terry's chocolate orange. I think any other managerial targets were ignored due to them not living - or wanting to live - in Scotland. I can't be sure. However, he did instill a wee bit of passion into the players, but then it's such a long way off until the next competitive fixture.
Rangers got a good result last night, they might nearly have even won it.
