ProudScot Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 They are very good at youth levels, and senior now I suppose too. So that is promising. What was the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 McAdams, Bowers (Aitchison 73’), Gallacher, Meredith, Duffy, Barjonas (Connolly 64’), Burt (C), Middleton (H.Morrison 73’), McAllister (Hornby 73’), Gilmour (Knox 73’), McLennan (L.Morrison 64’) The return of Charlie Gilmour was a bit of a shock, as he was not in the original squad (and seemed to be kept pretty much under wraps until last night).... always had a feeling that he would be back (as said, even when he switched to England he will still posting Scotland related stuff on social media..... even last week he posted a photo of him on his Scotland debut with his dad).

He obviously likes both Scotland and England and enjoys playing for both countries. At some point he will need to make a decision but he is certainly keeping his options open.

As said, probably proud of both his English and Scottish roots. Played for us, gave England the benefit of the doubt by giving them a chance.... probably felt playing for England was not for him and came back to us. More shocked he came back to us so soon, as I think he switched to England only midway through last year.... also that he is still eligible for the U17's, as like Jack Harper he is one of these kids we have heard about for years and years now (I actually thought he was closer to 19). Seem to recall he came in for a bit of stick for it on here as his dad was a coach/scout with SFA links or something like that. With regards to the game, Mark Burchill was VERY critical of the performance on twitter yesterday (saying if that is the future then we are in trouble!)

Now I know that there is no ulterior motive here, but do you ever think that maybe as a middle aged man you shouldn't be following a 17 year old boy on Twitter?

Davied14 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Burchill probably wasn't best pleased that Matthew Knox never got a start seeing that he thinks very highly of him at Livingston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. 2 or 3 players from that team switched sides not long after.... MacKenzie Heaney switched to England and seems to be pretty regular for them, and Joshua Laws (boy at Düsseldorf) is now with Australia.

JECK Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ah, I see the latest Robbie Foy/Cameron Stewart/John Fleck/Feruz has been unearthed.

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Bloke I work with (who's dad is a Scotland and Arsenal scout) said Gilmour is that well thought of, he is one of Arsenal's to earners in his age group and the likes of Nike and Adidas are clamouring over him to get him signed up. Supposedly his dad is always in his ear to play for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one t in scotland Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) U-17? Complete waste of time. None of these characters will ever make it. Only in the team because someone at Largs saw them scoring in an U-7 game 10 years ago.
