Despite being on the losing side Snodgrass was looking pretty sharp for Hull today, he's surprised me how well his comeback has gone.

Brown had a couple of excellent years for Scotland, I think injuries have caught up with him though and his best days are behind him for me.Whereas I think Darren Fletcher has come back with a freshness from his long lay off. His club form certainly suggests as much. Whether Strachan will drop Brown is another question though.

Agree 100%, at international level keeping possession is vital, he's the best we have at that.

He's definitely good enough.When did he say he was willing to play for us?

Aye, going at 40 quid a throw.every one of them is an unwanted Xmas present according to the seller!

Harper is fit but he's not been starting, Jamie Murphy might be worth a look.

I think it's a fair bet Tierney will be involved at some point. I'd like to see Paterson getting a start in one of the games. I'm not sure we'll see many shock call ups, more just a case of fringe players getting a run, just my opinion mind.

Really don't have a problem with it, he's well down the pecking order as far as midfielders go. Good luck to him.

STV Sport reporting it. Doesn't say if home or away though http://sport.stv.tv/football/international/1338163-gordon-strachans-scotland-to-face-czech-republic-in-march-friendly/

We get into Vienna at 1930 on Sunday night, planning a night there then boat trip up to Bratislava on the Monday.

If enough people want to attend to make it worthwhile why not?

That would be excellent.

I don't get this opinion that Fletcher is finished, he'd be first name on team sheet for me and reinstated as captain.In international football you need to retain the ball and he's one of the best around at it.

I expect Norwich to be back in for him in January.

Just booked Edinburgh-Düsseldorf-Vienna on the Sunday and Vienna-Oslo-Edinburgh on the Wednesday. Under 200. Planning to spend the Sunday night in Vienna.

Got to be careful not to get carried away re McGinn, he does have talent but was awful last season and I'd argue he's shining this season due to being in a lower division.

This has been my overriding thought since Thursday, we're a nation who were renowned for bringing through players with a touch of arrogance over the years, where has that arrogance gone?I think we're too nice now and take defeat too easily, it's time to start being that wee nippy terrier that irritates the bigger dugs.

Looking at the Germany games in particular, you could argue if being a bit harsh they were there for the taking, particularly in the away tie. We, myself included congratulated the team for the narrow loss, what did a poorer Ireland side do? Took 4 points off them.

I agree with him on most counts, it's not exclusive to the fans though. It comes from every angle though I reckon. Our coaches and as a result our players give opposition far too much respect which then makes it appear that us as fans should be so incredibly grateful for a snatched point or narrow defeat. As has been discussed elsewhere there are countries with equal and poorer players than us who achieve more, until we change our attitude as a nation(including the media)we'll continue to under achieve.

He'd be my choice.

I bought all 3 recently, can't recommend it enough. Sorry about the 'great item great ebayer' feedback, it's saved as a template on the app on my phone. Wish I'd been a bit more descriptive. Great read though.

Any idea who Rhodes has replaced?

Let's hope so, let me know if you get any joy.

Would be pretty underwhelmed by that, I'd much rather see Kenny McLean.

Of course aye, good to know he's back on track though.
