  1. I love Lyndon Dykes. He has a great attitude and clearly loves playing for Scotland. Also, every time he gets a barrage of criticism, he seems to respond by going on a good run of goalscoring. G'Day mates.
  2. If Jack Hendry doesn't recover from his present injury, you might see Hyam playing against Turkey. Hyam was definitely watched by SFA scouts whilst at Coventry last season (so was Rose) so they do know about him.
  3. We won't be seeing Phillips again. If we are hit with a number of injuries and suspensions it will be (younger) players like Alan Campbell, Scott Wright, Barrie McKay or Alan Forrest that Clarke will turn too in that position. One goal in a friendly match aside, Phillips was poor when he played for Scotland.
  4. Tony Weston is English and Ross McAusland is from the six counties. Definitely not Scottish.
  5. The Arab's players look like they listen to and respect Fox and understand his tactics, unlike Jack Ross.
  6. IIRC correctly, results started going south in the latter part of Kerr's tenure, her players hated her and the SFA considered some of Kerr's personal conduct deeply unprofessional. Doesn't bother me. I'm not British.
  7. Not for the senior team. Aston Villa U23's in the EFL trophy.
  8. The SFA assure me that they have put "our top man" on the job negotiating with the Turks over the game venue ....
  9. I'd like to see McGinn move on from Villa but I don't know who'd take him.
  10. I feel bad posting this but one of Brighton's midfielders has just had to retire on medical advice, that may increase Gilmour's chances of getting games.
  11. Former DUFC youth and Scotland U16 & U17 player Gavin Stokes killed in a car crash on Saturday. 30 years old. His claim to fame is a goal he scored 3.2 seconds after kick off in a junior match a few years ago.
  12. Unpopular opinion incoming but here goes ..... Should we play our home tie against Cyprus at Pittodrie or Easter Road ?
  13. This group is a good test. If our team is coming along as well as we like to think it is, then we should acquit ourselves well. You have to test yourself against the best sooner or later. Let's do it.
  14. Glad we didn't get Wales (bogey team) or the six counties (wanky fans).
  15. Ryan Porteous needs hosing down, he's on fire ! Another goal.
  16. A bit of good news: That Ulster loyalist bigot that was Rangers head of communications has resigned. A bit of bad news: Frank McGarvey diagnosed with cancer.
  17. Willock is now out injured for a few weeks. Dykes now has a great chance to play and score a few. Didn't know that Jordan Archer was now their back-up goalie.
  18. SamP..... Were you the man behind this TAMB classic thread from six years ago ? (synopsis: the OP claims that in the aftermath of a Malta vs. Scotland game, two of his mates who were "Catholic Rangers fans who do a lot of charity work" 😕 got set upon by an evil group of Scotland fans in a pub.)
  19. You forgot his late winner off the bench against Slovenia at Hampden ? Much worse strikers than him have played for Scotland this century, such as Kevin Kyle and Scott Dobie.
  20. Jamie Smith was far, far from the worst player capped by Vogts. Smith definitely had some talent, his big problem was he was always injured for half of every season. Hence no more caps. If you want a shite Old Firm player capped under Vogts. Look no further than Maurice Ross. Arguably the epitome of what a terrible Scottish footballer is.
  21. Callum McGregor looks to have suffered a bad knee injury last night. Assuming that friendly against Turkey goes ahead next month and McGregor doesn't make it - who should fill in for him ?
  22. At the time he left Motherwell on a free, Rangers were not really financially in the position to sign Higdon though, were they ? Celtic enquired about Connor Sammon (I think it was in case they couldn't sign someone else) at one point a long time ago. The Old Firm most certainly do look at these kind of players.
