to be honest all footballers go on the piss. Don't really see what the problem is.

I would have thought it's more about the bad grace with which they accepted a throughly just punishment. |

... what players do on a weekend is their employers problem. When you do it while on International duty for World Cup (££££) qualifiers then it becomes an issue for the Football Association. |

I think the issue is also they were caught on camera throwing v signs to the TV audience during the game. Heard on 5 live about half five that both have been banned from playing for Scotland for life by the SFA.

I read it and thought I must have missed something as it seemed a bit of an overreaction. I'm all for players getting called out on acting like knobs, but sacked from international duty for a night out and a few childish gestures seems a bit much.

Would I be right in saying that there's quite a problem with over-boozing in Scottish football? Derek Riordian springs to mind. The Scottish F.A. have probably had enough and need to make an example of these two. Again, I wouldn't be suprised if there was more to this. The fact that Rangers have punished them too is most interesting to me - Imagine Alex Ferguson doing that! He'd probably give them a pay rise for essentially retiring from international football  |

Oh come on, they're a couple of pissed up fucking jock idiots - they are just represrnting the nation of fucking pissed up jock idiots. Despite being the best the jocks have got to offer neither is good enough for the Prem. Gordon £9m - what a fucking joke.
As for the Scottish FA making a joke of themselves then surely thats their job - represtning their country. Scotland = international O*ford. A fucking great big joke.

Ferguson's off to Russia with Dickie Advocaat isn't he?
McGregor will be more interesting, could see him ending up at Newcastle, he'd fit right in.
Who is Rangers' back up goalkeeper by the way?
Back up keeper is Neil Alexander, he is a very good deputy. |

Its a good point about the maturity of the two players. I do wonder whether, in the bubble that footballers live in today, whether they really grow up properly? Doing V signs on the bench is something I would expect a 12 year to find amusing. |

I keep thinking that maybe they were doing the "V Signs" accidently and genuinely resting their faces on their fingers. I do it all the time at work.

Wait, so the scots are complaining because they were still in the bar Sunday morning, when they had a game on WEDNESDAY?!
Wow, talk about over reacting.

Completely disagree, it was the biggest game so far in the international calendar on Wednesday for Scotland, I am sorry but 8 or 9 hours drinking in the build up to a huge game is a joke. Yes it may have been a few days before but a footballers job involves them being in good physical condition and plus it sets an awful example get beat 3-0 then just get hammered and enjoy yourselves. The difference these days is Barry Ferguson isn't as irreplacable for both club and country anymore, as Jan mentioned Fletcher and Brown are a great pairing for Scotland and Mendes and Thomson for Rangers are good. They had a chance to rectify the situation Wednesday night by apologising but instead they chose to swear at the cameras, IMO they have got what they deserved. |
