This is just to let you know that the bus has been cancelled due to lack of interest, only 6 names. is this the start of the new revolution to get Berti out?

I can't make it because it's my better halfs birthday.
BUT!!
We (the Scttish football fan) have been expected to attend more and more international matches and are forgetting some important issues.
60% of these matches are friendlies.
Friendlies are unimportant training sessions.
Friendlies mean **** all. (No bonuses to the players and no long lasting effect on our qualifiers.)
Now the main problem with friendlies are that the modern day footballer is paid an incredible wage by his employer (his club) and therefore will not give 100% in a friendly match if it can have an adverse effect on his day to day employment (injury). Yet we complain that Scotland don't show the fighting spirit like they use to do. WE NEVER PLAYED FRIENDLY AFTER FRIENDLY BACK THEN!! Yet!! Bertie is expected to quit on the result of FRIENDLY RESULTS!! Would you sack your club manager because he lost his pre-season friendlies? Would you?
As I said. We are playing too many friendlies and are forgetting that these are unimportant matches that mean zip. Even if it wasn't Lorna's birthday, I don't think I can handle watching another game of football where 22 players simply go through the motions and still expect me to get excited about it let alone having to pay for the boredom.
Attention SFA. People have a very small attention span and watching unimportant matches really stretches that attention span. If you don't believe me wait and see the attendance against the Romanians. 12,000 maximum!!
I like the way the SFA have advertised the up and coming Romania game: "The friendly at Hampden Park on 31 March is Scotland's first home match since the fantastic victory over Holland in November." Mmmmmmmmmmmm.............and since November?
Our protest against the way Bertie has destroyed our team grows. Everyone to TSTA HQ for the Romania game, that's an order troops. It will hurt not being at the game and not running a bus for the first time in 4 years but how else can the SFA get the message....Bertie is a dud. Gordon Strachan come in ....your country needs you!
Remember admission money buys a good few pints and tells the SFA to get a grip! Go for it footsoldiers....before our national team is a total laughing stock - 3-0 by Wales...nuff said
Credit Card. Do you seriously think that Gordon Strachan would even consider the Scotland job? In fact why would any manager with any decent record want to put their career on the line by trying to resurect a country who's international team is on a slippery slope that has no evidence of levelling off.
I've been in support of Berti and made no secret of it. Although I am starting to sway against him, I still find it hard to sack a man on friendly results.
I'd love to have Strachan.....even just for the after match interviews.
