THEY are never likely to be mistaken for Franco Baresi and Alessandro Costacurta but, in Christophe Berra and Gary Caldwell, the makings of a solid central defensive partnership are beginning to emerge for Scotland.

Watch MOTD any saturday night and you will be guaranteed to see these two clowns falling all over the place, grabbing at jerseys, being caught out of position, out paced, out muscled and out played as their terrible teams languish near the bottom of the league.
To be talking up these two as a solid international partnership just goes to highlight why we can forget about qualifying for the world cup.
Oh dear.......

Having watched Wales at the weekend I feel that they are a better side than Scotland. No chance they will qualify from that group. Croatia,Serbia,Belgium,Wales. No chance

Gary Caldwell is a World class footballer - only in his own head.

I think we will qualify with Croatia or Wales in 2nd place.
The rest are mince.

Scotland has no chance of qualification. They were dire against Cyprus and Levein is too negative. Croatia and Serbia are streets ahead and Belgium are fast improving. I only saw the goals against Norway and Wales appear to be building well. Wooden spoon for us ....again.

i agree with you coach. I watch MOTD every week and they normally cost their teams goals.
As stevie says tho, who else is there!

I know we dont have many other options.
But trying to talk them up is just laughable.
I can accept they are mince and we dont have many options.
But really the best thing that should ever be written about them is that they are not Gary Kenneth.
It should be left at that!

Hopefully in a couple of years it will be danny wilson (judas) and grant hanley who both look decent.
