  1. Lewis Morgan scored a hat-trick for NY Red Bulls against Inter Miami tonight. Miami’s team had Busquets, Alba and Suarez starting. Also bizarrely so did Robert Taylor who declined a call up for Finland to miss their Euros play-off so he could play in this game. A 34 capped, 29 year old in the form of his life…
  2. Don’t see why not. He was brought up here and played for our previous youth teams. Isn’t going to be called up by England. Described Scotland as ‘home’ in an interview the other day. Suppose playing for the African champions is pretty appealing but not any time soon I’d imagine. Bit weird that we called up than random league 2 Irish under 21 player who didn’t want to play for us but not Dembele.
  3. Fotheringham and Mulligan withdraw and still no Karamoko Dembele 😭.
  4. Thought he was much better than decent. Had cramp right at the end but won a header to allow the breakaway for the winning goal. And a goal and assist, quality player.
  5. Apparently needs an operation but Celtic want him to play with injections so he can delay it. From a Scotland perspective an operation now might mean he’d recover in time for the Euros? He’s possibly fcked for Scotland either way. An operation now might not give him enough recovery time and a delayed op will definitely mean he’s out…I can’t imagine medics for Celtic or Scotland will let him play with injections for 4 months.
  6. No Karamoko Dembele after 6 goals and 10 assists from 20 starts in league 1. Won’t be in England’s under 21s either. Great talent performing well for his age but not available or just not being considered?
  7. Gonna through in the most left field eligible player…sorry in advance. Christie’s current central midfield partner Alex Scott could play for Scotland. Born and raised in Guernsey so has the pick of the home nations. Has played for England youth teams but has a Scottish name.
  8. That’s true but Christie has been playing this position for 3 months ish? And hasn’t ever played there for Scotland. McGregor has been brilliant for Celtic and Scotland for a number of years. Although I’d definitely start Christie as CM instead of McGregor against Netherlands to see how he does. Probably Ferguson instead of McGinn too for the same reason and incase McGinn gets injured.
  9. He was captain of the under 21s who are doing well so it would be good to see him go back and qualify for next years Euros.
  10. Think your squad is almost bang on but McKenna might come in if he keeps playing for Copenhagen. Porteous dropping out is looking most likely but Hanley and Souttar are always at risk of injury. Also, Doig has played 5No. 90mins since he joined Sassoulo.
  11. Lancelot Pollard? Had a check and he’s apparently left Rangers for Sparta Rotterdam.
  12. Can’t see him choosing Scotland after all of his English youth caps. He’s probably already good enough for our squad with Hickey injured. Looks absolute quality.
  13. A shame he is a couple of weeks too old for the current under 21s! Karamoko Dembele also scored today in league 1…lots of high praise from Blackpool fans too.
  14. Looked a prospect when he was about 21 (probably similar to what Tommy Conway looks now) but don’t think he’s ever been better than what we have. I’d hope that Shankland could score more than 10 a season in the championship.
  15. It was widely reported that a number of clubs were after him. Why wouldn’t they be? Free agent, 9 goals and 11 assists, and his clubs player of the year in Portugal’s top league.
  16. Yeah a lot of the designated players are older and signed for their high profile. I guess a direct comparison is Insigne who Toronto signed in 2022 (and has been out performed by Gauld). But he’s obviously still a very good player, the season he signed he had 11 goals and 9 assists for Napoli. Holsgrove should be a guy Clarke is watching. Doesn’t seem as if he’s a star player for them though and there’s lots of Scottish players ahead of him in that position.
  17. He’s a designated player earning 40k a week, like other quality players in the league. It’s not like he’s a standard Vancouver player. He would have had multiple offers in top European leagues when he left Farense but chose Vancouver. He was already one of the highest rated players outside the big clubs in Portuguese league, a league that’s definitely good enough for our players. So no, the fact that he plays in Canada isn’t a good indication on how good he is.
  18. Maybe Kenny McLean at LCB? One of Clarke’s favourites and has played centre back for Norwich this season. He’s decent in the air and would be able to join in attacks. Unlikely to be as defensively switched on or be able to make a Tierney Spain style run.
  19. There’s no chance Dykes genuinely played centre midfield. He maybe dropped back a little.
  20. Should definitely be in our under 21 squad. Decent praise from Earnshaw and Holloway at the end there too.
  21. His run for his missed chance was very good. Just didn't look confident one-on-one. Definitely far more hope than Feruz. He has senior goals and assists in League 1. Has a really nice touch and an eye for a pass. Does seem a bit moany on the pitch which isn't usually the best trait.
  22. Will be interesting to see how Karamoko Dembele gets on tonight against premier league opposition. Has done well at league 1 but this is the level he’ll want to be playing at.
  23. Played well when he came on though. But that was a huge chance…
  24. We are 16-1 to win at home tonight but were 9-1 in a close defeat away from home in September. Do the bookies actually believe that the players don’t care about this game?
  25. McBurnie sent off for two yellows. Apparently both elbows that could have seen red card… Had a good chance to prove himself against a team of a similar standard too
