    Walking away, it’s a hun trait 

    I wouldn't be surprised if talksport told him to stay away after those comments. 

    His mask is really slipping lately. Hopefully it comes off completely and people can see him for what he really is. Maybe we will get the added bonus of rangers being under the microscope too.

    Good post but I think your not up to date on some of the info, I'll give you my opinion for what it's worth. 

      McGregor - think is training & could even feature in the Old Firm game this weekend.

      Hickey - may not play for Brentford again this season but expects to be fit in May , so let's hope training & match sharpness can be gained in our June friendlies as we desperately need him. 

      Brown - don't know but prefer he wasn't selected anyway. 

      McKenna - Pleased he is back playing as even though he may not be a world beater we really do need him. 

      Hanley - Wasn't aware Wagner had said this , if it's true I would be very concerned as he is a naturally burly guy who needs to be playing to keep his levels up, if he isn't starting regular for Norwich before the end of the season I wouldn't want him starting for Scotland. I'm actually very concerned Clarke's loyalty may mean 2 of our central defence choices will be a either not match sharp or past their best in Hanley & Cooper .

     Nisbet - sadly injured but hasn't kicked on at Millwall so the jury's out on his long term international career.

     Stewart - Believe is doing light training but after breaking down so quickly from a previous long term injury I can't see Southampton risking him this season unless Adams etc are seriously misfiring. 

     Doak - Idk but hope your right that he could be back training & even playing by May. Be a very pleasant surprise if he could make the first team squad again this season & make an impact . I'm sure most of us should love that to happen just to see what Clarke would do especially if the squad is increased to 26.

    Ramsay - sadly injury has ruined his season, he may also be suffering from Patterson style confidence issues as he didn't even get off the bench on Monday even though his league one side Bolton brought 5 subs on in a 5-2 victory. Sadly we can't really call him even a potential Scotland player at this stage . Next season will be very crucial for his future, let's hope the lad stays fit 

    I don't think Nisbet, Doak or Ramsay had any chance of making it even if they get fit. Stewart and maybe Brown have a tiny chance if they bangs in a few before the end of the season but again, its very unlikely.

     

    The others mentioned are players we need, especially McGregor, Mckenna and Hickey

    If it was the other way round, he would be sacked by now, up on FA charges and most likely the police would be involved. Obviously a different situation, but when Shelley Kerr hosted a meeting drunk that ended up in tears and players having issues, it was swept under the carpet. Different standards apply to different sexes, who would have thought that.

    I see that Emma Hayes has blamed male aggression, what a two faced pig ignorant cow she is.

    No action taken against Hayes. If that was a mens match.....the offending manager would have a touchline ban and possibly a fine.

    A clear message sent to men working in the women's game.. if they had any sense they'd get the fuck out of it and let women do it on their own.

    apparently not being recorded in a similar way to JKRs.  Murdo fraser is on “the list” however.

    joanna cherry has a sensible outlook - a shame the snp kicked out one of their most sensible leaders

    The law isn't the problem. The problem is how the media have reported it. There are morons reporting humza for his infamous speech about white people occupying top tier positions and people reporting jk Rowling for saying a trans woman isn't a woman. Neither are crimes.

    Job done by the media though.

    I'm not a football pundit, who young kids look up to, a Scottish football legend, a representative of a football club so to speak.. Yes, I will go off my nut Sunday morning, play a few rebel songs, get in the mood with my pays.... Then that's it.. 

    Difference is, I did not go on public radio and tell the entire fuckin world to go complete bigot on Sunday !! He just prompted hate and bigotry whether you like it or not.. Folk will act on this because of who he is !! 

    I called Ally McCoist a bigot few year ago on this board and got pelters for it. Well I guess I wasn't wrong after all. 

    No disrespect to you mate, I see what you were saying, but it's completely different dynamic.. I'm just a wee Celtic supporter, a nobody, McCoist is a so called legend spreading his hatred..... 

    Using your logic, you are happy for rangers fans to be bigots because they are not on TV or Radio??

    "If you hate the f*****g Celtic clap your hands"

    I mean, unless the hate crime bill is extended to the feelings of a football team.... TBF it's Celtic, they'll be offended if the winds blowing against them.

    If we're going in to this territory, there'll be hate crimes reported for messages on this forum.

    "Hello, I'd like to report a hate crime. @LoganRoy called me a cunt, and i've had to take 3 days off work"

    someone else who doesn't get or understand the hate crime law

    Mccoist will be one of these union jack snagging idiots who think they are losing free speech. All they are losing is the ability to be a hateful piece of shite based on someone's religion and they can't cope with it.

    Cunts like mccoist will soon be exposed. Rangers as a club will no longer be able to be selective in which type of bigotry they tolerate. When one of their players was racially abused they rightly backed their man and were very outspoken about racism for a few months, when it comes to sectarianism- silence.

    Mccoist has openly admitted he will be a bigoted cunt for 90 minutes on Sunday. Let him keep talking...... he will lose it sooner enough

    only imbeciles would come out with a policy to remove free speech.  Whilst I find some freedom of expression distasteful or repugnant, I absolutely defend peoples right to a voice.  Particularly when it threatens people merely stating scientific fact.

    this firmly puts the snp beside the greens as a far left, student politics party.

    Just when I thought you couldn't go more gammon....you play the free speech card again. 

    1. I don't think you understand that total free speech doesn't exist in any country, I'm pretty sure you and one other poster made complete idiots of yourselves over the free speech debate before.

    2. I don't think you understand what the hate crime law is. Let's use your current poster girl JK Rowling. She didn't get arrested because she wasn't targeting someone because of their gender, disability or race. She was stating an opinion which had no hate in it. I agree with her by the way 

    3. The only reason you are almost soiling yourself with hatred and anger is because the snp proposed it. Other parties voted for it too.

    Dykes was off form and hadn't had a good game for us in a while. He had a brilliant two minutes against Norway but he hadn't had a good game until that moment. So Dykes had been off it for club and country for a while. Shankland was doing very well at Hearts and had scored an equaliser against Georgia away yet Clarke still brought on Dykes ahead if him against Norway. At that moment, I wasn't the only one saying it didn't seem like Clarke fancied Shankland. Thankfully, that's changed.

    I'll leave it there. Bringing on Dykes instead of Shankland in one game isn't worth getting worked up about

    Still in 2 minds whether to go to this, 7 hours before I'd need to be setting off!  Massive game, which is embarrassing enough, but I don't want to give Cormack another penny until he sorts out his Clown Show.  The other week I brought back enough rowies to last until I go to the Euros, so nae issue there.

    Enjoy the game min!

    I didn't get to the game, I had to make do with watching it online 😞

    We didn't even get to the BRoch, got as far as 20 miles from home and the bloody car broke down

    Lets take a vote on here.. If the election was tomorrow who are people voting for? 
    Labour ? Nobody? Is the SNP losing massively , and very possibly then losing the Holyrood election due to the media smelling blood and the guaranteed  onslaught, is this really going to make people feel better ? Is it going to make Scotland a fairer country? Losing free prescriptions, free university tuition, the additional benefits for impoverished familles , free bus travel for old and young , reduced rail fares, mitigation of bedroom tax , no chance ever of a referendum? 

    But at least that hugely powerful trans group will have been told and JK Rowling will be happy 👍

    If I were in Scotland I would vote SNP- still see them as a means to an end

    However, my choice here is going be Tory, Labour or Lib Dem. my conscience won't let me vote for any unionist party. We had Damien Hinds as our MP but since the lines were re-drawn, we have Jeremy Hunt. My area is probably the safest or at least one of the safest Tory seats in the country.

    I will draw a penis on my ballot paper

    Now he does but he didn't use to which is what I was saying. He was our in-form striker yet hardly got any time against Georgia and Norway. On the evidence he was third (or maybe even fourth) choice.

    I don't think this is the case. Shankland was the man who started against the NEtherlands in our first warm up game and he was the called upon to grab a goal against Northern Ireland and he almost did. 

    Being on form shouldn't automatically mean game time, the balance of the squad both on and off the pitch is equally as important. I think Clarke has managed this well

    Agree with Vanderark,I wouldn’t even say he had been in good enough form long enough before the games you mention.

    For me, it was when he brought on Dykes for Brown against Norway despite Shankland scoring against Georgia. He was also talking like Adams or Dykes was still his first choice in interviews leading up to the Netherlands game. I was quite surprised to see Shankland startint that one.

    I disagree. I think he see shankland as an equal to Adams and dykes now. 

    Shankland is the new guy, until last season he only had one purple patch and that was at scottish championship level. Now he is scoring regularly for one of scotlands top sides
