for a scot, alan hansen talked 100 per cent sense during englands world cup campaign, and 100 per cent sense at the end of the game tonight.
though to be fair a blind man could have spotted the flaws in tonights performance.
in all honesty, not qualifying may be better for the national side in the long run. at least now several high ranking heads should roll and certain players should no longer be considered automatic selections.
Barwick's head should roll. The smug 'lovely lovely person' makes me sick. The same Barwick who invited Gus Hiddink for a 'coffee morning' to discuss what Hiddink had to offer. The same Hiddink whose team has just put us out of the European Championships. The same Barwick who insisted on travelling with Scolari from his home to England, alerting the press and scaring off Scolari. The same Barwick who, when Martin O'Neill was in talks with the FA, decided a manager who wanted a say in the U21's and youth policy was overstepping the mark. I'll be glad when he's gone.
