And what sense does it make to fire a coach almost at the end of a qualifying campaign? None. We are stuck wih Donadoni. Tessa: Nah, that dubious honour goes to Trappatoni…man, he sucked.

Francesco's right. I'm personally glad this one's in November, so even if we blow it (as Scotland has blown so many promising campaigns in the past), we still keep the high WC qualifying rank.

Scotland-Italy will be played on November 17th. In October our only matches are home to Georgia on the 13th in Genoa and then on the 17th a friendly vs. South Africa in Siena.

Just because he scored a hat trick against Udinese he gets mentioned by Donadoni. Marco Borriello has always been a decent striker at best.

He has a better team, and as a die hard Tartan Army fan that hurts to say, but Scotland has been playing tough, motivated football, and Italy, not so much. If he doesn't send his best to Glasgow, we'll make him pay for it. If Donadoni doesn’t take Scotland seriously by this point, he’s more of an idiot than I thought.

Which would be utterly fucking idiotic. But that's his MO. I can totally see Donadoni starting kids against Scotland in Glasgow and getting pissed when they don’t win.
