For the older folks that like to watch at home, it's a bit sad, but it's not the end of the world. After the disappointment of the end of the qualifying campaign, and the unfortunate way that Eck left as manager, this isn't even a blip on the radar screen of Scottish disappointment. Now, if Billy Davies is announced as the next Scotland manager, THAT would be disappointing.
