I don't know anything about Maurice Ross as a coach but because he's not one of us - he's no good? I'm sure onthefringes could cast some light.

i never said hes no good .. but i can say that in mo ross's world hes good , in  MY opinion heez full of himself and OTF has already said and iv heard, some will miss him ,and some wouldv chipped in for his taxi to nottingham

From the BBC football .......preview of tonight’s Scotland game, about the Faroes recent good form......

Ones to watch

Gunnar Nielsen


The 34 year-old goalkeeper knows all about playing in Scotland having previously made 23 appearances for Motherwell between 2013 and 2015. Currently with FH Hafnarfjordur in Iceland, he's a steady, reliable keeper, has been in good form of late and has over 60 caps for his country.

 Making sure he's available if Gerrard leaves. 

 

Racial insensitivity just a stone's throw from religious intolerance. He's working his way through the badges for that very job.

Possibly, I don’t know....what did he say that was derogatory about black people ?

He made a comment about a black player having a doctored African passport.

As he said himself, "It was a clumsy and insensitive analogy"

Direct quote from the interview below - whether you believe it to be racist or not is your opinion and that's grand, but from Ross' own explanation and from a neutral standpoint, it's racially insensitive at it's weakest and a bloody stupid thing to say in general , given his position.

 

"The exact words I said were: 'He looks like he's moving like a 40-year-old. What age is he actually? Does he have a doctored African passport?'

possibly opening a can of worms here but i  remember scotland fans barracking ( being kind) john barnes at hampden , it wasnt just one or two either.. .cringeworthy and embarrassing.  We like  to be viwerd as a tolerant nation , not so sure.

weve come a long way , thankfully,  but the above remark doesnt strike me as racist...ross , obviously thought it was clumsy so hes resigned ...the boy is possibly irked mo was saying he was lazy .

The guy he made the comment about isn't from Africa - he's Dutch. Intentional or not, it's reflects that "you're from Scotland, but where are you really from" attitude which is more than a hint of "you're not really Scottish in the way I am". It alienates people who have grown up in a country they consider home and that's why it's just a shite thing to say. 

If you're going to make a comment / joke that can only apply to someone based on the colour of their skin, you've got to be sensitive to how it might be taken - especially if you are in a position of authority like he was. As Maurice Ross loves to do, sounds like he's opened his mouth without thinking.

I used to say the same about Joe Chalmers!
