    We were screaming out for a change, and he does it at 55 min's and doesn't bring boyd on. I seen it, u did, sky sports did, but he's the * getting paid for this. * sakes it's not rocket science, should've kept mcfadden on too. We shouldv'e beaten Norway but we've shafted ourselves again. * amatuer.

    A new my self after half an hour that wee should have changed the formation, the boy morison was hopless, we offerd nothing at all down the right!!! our centre backs were slow as *, wee got bullied of the ball far to much, maybe for a game like this we should have pitched in some 1 like lee wilkie because imo wee looked as if we were going 2 lose a goal every time they got a corner or set piece, we have beter players in scotland than what was used yesterday!!!! i am also livid at him for taking 1 of our best players of, mcfaden and why did we not throw on kris boyd ???? we should have went for it with 3 up, and imo d. fletcher was mince again yesterday!!! our * 4-3-3 formation wasn,t working and i could see that after the first half hour, surely the management duo seen this ????? i am also not goin to blame the big striker because he should have started the game as i thought he done well when he came on. so i am afraid wee will all be sitting at home watching another world cup without us there!!!!! i hope i am wrong but i cant see us qualifiying with the tactics we have used in our opening 3 qualifyers.

    I think his tactic are alright to be honest I just think hes playing the wrong players in certain positions. It doesn't really matter though because the fact of the matter is we wont qualify.

    Totally agree with you about Boyd mate why the man was never put on baffles me!

    We will not qualify in my opinion, I think Euro 2008 was just one lucky run that will never happen again.

    In the Sunday Mail today - Boyd quoted as saying he won't play under Burley again. Am not surprised.

    Hes a mong, terrible manager, but hes here until the end of the qualifiers at least, bar something drastic.

    We had more than enough quality to beat Norway yesterday, and would have if he hadn't played that stupid system.

    Mcfadden as a target man between two wingers? *, he was wasted - and the 2/3 times he got the ball to run at them he was giving them nightmares.

    If your gonna play that system, then faddy on left, maloney on right and either the big lad (granted he * his chance) or someone similar in the middle. Boyd maybe.

    No confidence in Burley, I actually laughed when he took McFadden off, didn't know what else to do.

    No chance we will get 2nd, which was pretty achievable in this group.

    Hopeless.

    Didn't want him when he was appointed, don't want him now. He is about as inspiring as a wet blanket. Just listening to him bores me to tears.

    He got it SOOOO wrong yesterday it beggared belief. It was almost as if he had set up his team to play someone else then got a shock when Norway ran out of the tunnel.

    Even before a ball was kicked I was scratching my head at his formation and team selection. Picking our most creative player as a lone striker up against 2 giant Norwegian centre halves? *?

    He won't last long........hopefully.

    It really is torture supporting Scotland, and George Burley isn't making it any easier.

    Poor George looks rattled.

    On the subject of Boyd, all I can say is that he's as much of turn coat as McCulloch and players like John Collins who retired far too early and don't give a toss about their country. I mean if Burley was to get sacked, is the next manager going to pick a guy who demands to be played??? I don't think so.

    We don't need players like Boyd if he's not committed:bbpd:
