Correct
Kenny miller is better than messi though
FULL OF GLUE
Exactly what part of what I said justifies the statement "Full of Glue"? A listing of facts regarding KM's career? Other factual statements regarding our present situation, KM's pedigree in comparison to our other strikers, his current form and level of fitness or a factual statement regarding Roger Milla? So which of these statements justify your response? If your opinion is different on who should start up front then just say it. However, to call someone "full of glue" for making a series of factual statements just makes it look like you lack the intellect required to put together an intelligent argument.

Now who's bringing clubs into it, i know it's hard for you to believe but I really couldn't care less which clubs our players play for.
time for you to let this lie and start acting like an adult.
kenny miller has scored against great opposition when he was in his prime, he's retired from the international game and is nowhere near the player he was. He would do a better job than Martin but so would I because Martin is garbage.
It was a joke mate, that is why I used the

The best players should be picked but Kenny Miller? No chance! Hutton shouldn't be near that squad either, nor Gordon greer. You mentioned Griffiths isn't international class? What is exactly?
Erm......... somebody who has scored against Italy, Germany and England and is presently fit and playing some of the best football of his career?
Who could that be???

I'm not sure why anyone would say Griffiths is not international class, we have seen enough of him in a Scotland shirt to determine this. He's done the business for his club and deserves the chance.
As for Kenny Miller, I'd have a one legged KM over chris martin any day of the week but his days are gone.
We should be calling up Rhodes, McCormack, Griffiths, Naismith and S.Fletcher as our forwards
Agree that Griffiths deserves a chance but because he is unproven I would prefer to see him get his chance to start, against decent opposition in a friendly (ideally), to see how gets on. Malta at Hampden would be a good game for him but may not tell us as much. The Lithuania game would have been a good shout for Leigh to start. But to throw him into such an important match (England) when he is unproven would be too big of a gamble IMO. Outside of Miller it would have to be Naismith or Fletcher. Miller with Naismith behind him in the hole flanked by Maloney and Anya would be my preference with Fletcher coming on later in the game for Miller. It may seem like a contradiction to say that Griffiths is not international class and then say he deserves a chance. For the record, I recognize that my opinion is not always right and I would be thrilled if Griffiths proved me wrong. To be fair, on his club form he deserves a chance. Just don't want to take the gamble in such a big match because he is unproven and I have my doubts about his ability to reproduce his club form at this level. Points are there for the taking against England if we get our selection and tactics right. Kenny has proven himself at this level, he is fit, in great form and IMO is arguably the best we've got. Appreciate your compliment to a "Rangers Player" in the comparison to Martin

What is international class? Kenny Miller.......... see my post above for proof.

Poor man's Leigh Griffiths

The only thing embarrassing on this thread is your post above. Poor man's Leigh Griffiths

Kenny has always been a big game player. Scored a winner against Man Utd and a last minute equalizer against Liverpool in the same season for Wolves (both happened when he was played through the middle). Unfortunately spent a lot of his time in the epl stuck out wide on the right. Scored against Galatasaray in the Turkish League. He has scored 9 goals in Old Firm matches. He has also scored goals in the Champions League proper for both Rangers and Celtic including a double against Benfica. Scored 18 goals for Scotland including against Germany, Italy, England, Ukraine, Norway and Austria. Played in an English League Cup Final. Top scorer for Wolves for 3 seasons in the championship, scoring 20 or more goals in 2 of those seasons. Has had two 20+ goal seasons in the SPL. Holds the SPL record for most goals scored in a match (4 inside the 1st 32 minutes). He is currently in good form and we simply do not have anyone in his position who comes even close to his pedigree. Now is the time to win games, not experiment with strikers unproven at international level. If that means calling up someone who is has proven he can do the business at that level who just happens to be playing some of the best football of his career to give us a better chance to get a result in just one game then it is the right call IMHO. This is not a time to build for the future, it is all about getting points now to help us to qualify for the world cup. Roger Milla scored 4 goals in the world cup finals at 38 and returned 4 years later to score again. Kenny is younger at 36 and is jumping out of his skin at the moment, probably fitter than any of our current strikers.

All about opinions mate, I would start Miller over Martin every day of the week. What is international class? Someone who has already proven themselves against decent international or Champions League opposition! Miller, Naismith and Fletcher have proven that they can score goals at this level. Fletcher v Poland, Naismith against Spain, Poland and others, Miller..... too many to mention, his goal against England (not that long ago) was class, turned his marker inside out before finishing brilliantly. Who has Griffiths ever scored against that you could say was decent opposition at this level. He is a decent SPL striker who can score regularly at that level when he is playing for a team that creates a ton of chances against far weaker opposition. IMHO he is not a guy who will be able to replicate that against decent/good International or Champions League opposition. I would play Naismith in the hole against England with Miller and Fletcher sharing the 90 minutes up top. Maloney on the right of Naismith and Anya on the left. Naismith and Maloney with the freedom to switch positions as they wanted.

I'd take Miller in a heartbeat for the England game if his form continues. He has always said that he would answer the call if really needed. Was always a fan of Strachan but fear he has totally lost the plot recently. Time for him to get back to the players who have performed at international level before. I'd be happy with Miller up top with Maloney, Naismith and Anya playing in behind him. Maloney was our best player last campaign, Naismith has been involved in 2 games recently for Norwich and scored in both. Griffiths is not, nor will he ever be international class. Snodgrass needs to get back to his pre injury form and Burke is still a bit raw but with a lot of potential for the future. Would be happy to see Mulgrew back in the squad over Greer, Bardsley included as one of our full backs. Not sure about Charlie Adam's current form? Dissapointed Brown is no longer available.The best players should always be picked. How Martin starts and Naismith does not even make the bench, I'll never understand. Good players can come in and do a job even if they have not been playing week in, week out. Hutton is an example of this. He had some decent performances for us when he was out of the Villa team (not talking about his disastrous performance against Poland away).

at his age he's not the type of person who will change now, a completely lost cause who cannot be reasoned with.
his poor family must be pining for some time with him though.

It has been a slice gentlemen (and I use the term loosely) but I have a game to watch and a team to support .... SCOTLAND! I will leave those of you who hate Rangers more than you love Scotland to get on with your obsession. It has been fun wrestling with the intellectual giants that are ET and vaderaark

You've done nothing but make a fool of yourself. I'd be willing to put money on you posting a link on FF or RM so you can show your deluded pals that the bad Aberdeen fan targets rangers fans.
Totally outed mate, condoning abuse of fellow Scotland supporters based on the club they support and the best you can do is bring it back to the Rangers stereotype again. You have completely shown yourself up for what you are by your answer to my question but I have made a fool of myself because you say so?
This is so easy, I am actually feeling sorry for you. You must face some special challenges if you think I look foolish after our exchange. Does your carer know that you are on mate?

Solution:
Go back to FollowFollow or wherever it is you originally came from. You can talk about the nasty Scotland fans there.
I have been a Scotland fan, for well over 40 years and always will be, I am going no where. You will never win, It is our national team too and a minority of haters will never drive the majority of us out as hard as you try. According to your own "TAMB" poll taken a few years ago, we still make up far more of the support than any other group with Celtic coming a distant 2nd. Probably why you feel comfortable dishing out abuse and calling people huns on a small message board, safe behind your keyboard where you get backing from other "outed" haters like vanderaark. Doubt very much that you do it when you are amongst the regular Scotland support.

it neither needs condemning or condoning. Only you see something wrong with it because you are a delusional liar.
Thats more than 2 hours of precious family time lost now, you could have ended this debate easily if you had even a shred of evidence to back up your ####ed up accusations. You accused me
Come on, finish me off..................prove to everyone on here that I harass rangers fans and anyone who backs them up, lets see it. No more arsing around, just do it o you can get back to family time
Exactly, thank you for answering my question, providing the truth and proving my point. If you "don't see anything wrong" with coming on a Scotland supporters site and singling out one club as cheats and inferring that fellow Scotland supporters are "foaming at the mouth orange bigots" because of the club they support you are condoning those statements. You are saying that you don't see anything wrong with the abuse and alienation of one clubs supporters from a support that is supposed to be welcoming and inclusive. What you have said in the past is now irrelevant. You have totally outed yourself my friend. Sure did not take much effort on my part, you are hardly an intellectual giant. Cheerio, back to my family time

Did you copy and paste that from the VanguardBears blog or something ?
Christ almighty this guy is seriously obsessed with any slight criticism towards his wee team.
Or else what exactly ?
Is "fenian" a slight criticism to a catholic or a Celtic supporter? Is the "N" word a slight criticism to a black guy? You want to dehumanize one group of people so that they are not afforded the protection of other groups and deem that terms they find offensive are not offensive because you said so?

Just now, vanderark14 said:
talking of the truth, have you found these posts where I attack, harass and abuse the rangers fans on here?
you wouldn't know the truth if it jumped in smacked you in the face.
Ok, so let's say you are right and I am wrong and your treatment of all Scotland supporters regardless of who they support is fair and welcoming. If that indeed is the case, you should have absolutely no problem what-so-ever answering the question.
Do you condone or condemn these posts on a Scotland Supporters site? There is only 2 choices, which is it?
-
Simple question but you can't answer it because it will reveal the truth that you are trying to deny.
-
You have Armitage Shanks justifying the treatmentment Rangers fans because their club "cheated and have yet to apologize" and Ersats Thistle associating a Scotland supporter with the "frothing at the mouth orange bigots" on Rangers Media because of the club he supports. Do you condone or condemn these posts on a Scotland Supporters site? There is only 2 choices, which is it.
The answer to this tells everyone all they need to know about the truth. Either you are someone who welcomes all to support Scotland or you are someone who condones alienating supporters based on the club they support.

you've just trolled through these posts again so you must have time to find where I have attacked people you keep repeating this but have nothing to back it up. you're being shown up to be a liar
Thats almost 2 hours of precious family time you have missed because you apparently can't be bothered to trawl the site to prove that I am this rangers fan abuser.
No i did not even look back, I have a good memory. Takes me 2 minutes at a time to come on here and respond to your crap.
Deflect, deflect, deflect. You have failed to answer the question.
Just answer the question; Do you condone or condemn these posts on a Scotland Supporters site? There is only 2 choices, which is it.

A classic example of hun permarage.
Go on put us all on "the list" then.
Can't stand the slightest criticism of of his wee club.
Hun is it? Funny how on here some posters get to decide if "Hun" is offensive to Protestants or Rangers supporters. Do others get to decide if "Fenian" is offensive to Catholics or Celtic supporters. Do others get to decide if the 'N" word is offensive to black people? The term "Hun" was used in Northern Ireland by IRA murder squads to describe protestants. Kill all Huns (KAH) was regularly painted on walls during the troubles and following executions of protestants. A banner with KAH was recently displayed at the most recent old firm game. So yes, given the history, I think it is sectarian and find it offensive. It is not the people who use the term against others that get to chose if it is offensive. It is the people who are called the name. To state otherwise is a massive double standard and inexcusable.

1 hour ago you said you have precious time to spend with family instead of trawling through this site.............for the last hour you have continued to reply to me and others so you obviously do have time. During that time you could have easily ended the debate by providing proof that I have attacked rangers fans for years
.
if others feel the same way I am sure they are big enough to come out and say it. The truth is that you and the others who have had a go at me on this thread have nothing to back up your accusations of an anti rangers feeling among the Scotland support. Do you genuinely expect me to be to be nice to you when your first ever reply to me was personal abuse?
in short, you made up lies and can't back up your point.
I stand by what I said, you troll and harass Rangers supporters or anyone who defends the club on this site. Someone called you a cockend in this thread, you could not even respond to that without bringing Rangers into it.
But for arguments sake lets look at 2 other posts on this thread. You have Armitage Shanks justifying the treatmentment Rangers fans because their club "cheated and have yet to apologize" and Ersats Thistle associating a Scotland supporter with the "frothing at the mouth orange bigots" on Rangers Media because of the club he supports. Do you condone or condemn these posts on a Scotland Supporters site? There is only 2 choices, which is it.

Whats relevance does you cirticising idiots in your support have to this discussion?
What behavior of mine requires owning? please provide evidence of these so called attacks?
The attacks have come from your equally precious pal when he called me a cockend, the only reason he did this is because I questioned him, just like you he couldn't prove any of his accusations..................putting fact at the end of the sentence doesn't make it true
We will have to agree to disagree mate I am out of time.
Bye Bye Strachan!

If Alex Ferguson or Walter Smith don't want the job then we are f*cked in my opinion. If you don't ask you don't get. Sir Alex must be missing the game. Surely a wee part time job would not take him away from his family too much.
