Sorry but his feelings are less important than stopping this losing streak 

More important than taking off Patterson is looking like we can score so ffs get Shankland on soon 

[Scotland v Northern Ireland Match Thread]

Ah good let’s hear what Shelly Kerr has to say on it.

Anyone else think she looks like Michael Keatons Beetleguise 

[Scotland v Northern Ireland Match Thread]

Wrong team picked, zero attempts on target, slow, shite & pretty toothless. 

Changes needed immediately 

[Scotland v Northern Ireland Match Thread]

Worst we’ve played in years, this is a disgrace 

[Scotland v Northern Ireland Match Thread]

Shankland for Dykes at HT. creating zero

[Scotland v Northern Ireland Match Thread]

Patterson howler, 1-0 them and then Robbo injured.

Ferguson on though this is more like it let’s go for it! 

[Scotland v Northern Ireland Match Thread]

Yawn fest 25 mins..

[Scotland v Northern Ireland Match Thread]

Ferguson should be starting. Also Cooper shouldn’t.

The only surprising thing is that Kenny McLean and Greg Taylor aren’t 

[Scottish players in action 21/22]

I don’t see any reason why Conway won’t 

A ) Improve

B ) Get caps 

If you look at stats Dykes would never get picked and he’s had some mega moments for us. 

I’ve not seen Conway much except for our under 21 games and a couple Bristol City games but he gave West Ham a torrid time and scored and looks a pacey handful. 

[Netherlands V Scotland Match Thread]

Shouldn’t blame Shankland, McTominay and McGinn missed great chances too.

My word we crumbled and defended poorly.

That was worrying tbh cos that was as good as we’ve played for large parts of that game but we’ve been absolutely horsed 4-0 by a fairly average team.

I think we all know that we are second choice to guys like Adams, cooper, Barnes etc. that's obvious or it should be. It's all about wether the player improves our squad and shows good commitment to turning up and trying their best. 

Fair enough to Gordon, he's made it clear that he wants to play for England and doesn't really want to compromise on that. Saying that if he wasn't getting picked by England and wanted to use us as a back up option then personally I wouldn't have a problem with that. 

Regardless of what Gordon says in that interview if he wasn't getting picked by England by the age of 26 and it wasnt looking likely he ever would then theres a good chance he would be considering us as an option.

Yep that’s very accurate

Interesting the Carver press conference. They definitely seem to see Shankland as not quite fitting their system and Hendry playing at a lower standard has been noted. Makes me think  Shankland won't start and that Souttar might overtake Hendry.

Hendry playing at a lower standard than who?

Our centre backs mainly play in Scotland & the championship 

[Scotland v Holland and Northern Ireland]

That’s McKenna out now as well as Hanley.

We now have more goalkeepers in the squad than centre backs too, as well as strikers 

[U21s]

Rory Wilson the superstar striker goal machine on the bench for Alfie Bavidge. Only a halfwit dinosaur like stark would make that call 

[Injury Watch]

Hanley is behind a few but ahead of Cooper for sure. Clarke will defo want him in the Euros squad if available, he always sticks by his favourites

He had a serious long term injury, he is being eased back very gently. They certainly wouldn't play him twice a week but you would like to think by the summer he is capable of that.

  Cooper has also barely played all season, We've younger centre backs who deserve to be in Germany, there's no way Cooper & Hanley should both make the final cut, Hanley just makes it, Cooper sadly not.

Yep Cooper doesn’t deserve to be in there. It’s a bit of an odd squad with more goalies than strikers and a couple of odd ones

Nothing really unexpected in the squad. I suspect Shankland would have made it in even if Brown were fit but it's clear he doesn’t know who is best CB's are. I suspect this is Cooper's farewell tour as I find his inclusion slightly baffling. 

Yeah Cooper is pretty pish. 4 goalies when there’s only 3 strikers and 2 games to come is also very odd. 

[Scottish players in action 21/22]

Greg Taylors continued inclusion fairly baffling

4 keepers and 6 centre halves (and that doesn’t include Tierney). Is that really necessary? Can we not find some forwards from somewhere , even the U21s to at least have a look at them eg Conway 

Yep there’s loads of goalies and defenders.

Youd have thought time to get guys like Conway in for a look indeed

[Scottish players in action 21/22]

Squad announced and it’s just everyone youd expect
