  1. Robertson is a converted winger player left-back. He challenges and tackles like one. And is terrible in the air. Fine for Liverpool who have loads of the ball and have a formation at centre-back and central-midfield to protect him. But for Scotland he's a liability.
  2. I'd say Thompson is intelligent enough and self-aware enough to realise his limitations as a footballer and will be grateful he had an international career, never mind he scored a goal or two. If he was in the condition he was at 35 in his 20s, he would have had a few more caps as well. Thompson is a level or two above McFadden when it comes to intelligence so I doubt the latter would have enjoyed the ribbing.
  3. Because he's said he's not interested and he'd get a better and higher paying job in club football?
  4. I'm not renewing. After years of enduring terrible qualifying matches, attendance at which is only justifiable due to the outside chance of the team qualifying for a tournament and thus being able to have enough away points for tickets, I now don't even want to go to the tournaments if we are lucky enough to qualify again. The 24-team Euros have ruined that competition and the World Cup being awarded to Qatar and possibly becoming a 48-team tournament have ruined it as well.
  5. Do you know Wanderer? If you don't, you really should.
  6. I know loads of people who don't follow their national team. It's not a given, particularly if you're a more fanatical follower of a club team. As for supporters of certain clubs saying they follow another national team, that's often for effect and it's not like they're proper passionate fans. People can support, or not support, who they like. It's just football teams and really not that important.
  7. Phillips had three eye-catching performances in club games that were live on the telly around February / March time and that got him selected for five squads. Impressive work by him.
  8. It was an international friendly. So nothing could be learned.
  9. What kind of person makes the effort to boo anything? I don't like something so I'm going to make a stupid sound to show I don't like it? Moronic.
  10. I think Robertson may have been a bit unfortunate in that he has inspired Moreno into a decent run of form. The coach of the Spanish national team, who is presumably a decent judge of a player, seems to thinks so anyway as Moreno's been recalled to the Spain Squad. http://www.football365.com/news/recalled-moreno-playing-like-an-undroppable-starter
  11. I don't really think he's the level of player or type of person to make demands at a club of Liverpool's stature, particularly as he's only been there for three months. He'll get a run of games at some stage.
  12. Scotland perhaps cost a Test victory by one its better players being unavailable because he's training with an invitational team he's no chance of playing for. Very strange decision by Finn Russell. Good to see the Lions lose though. I wonder what its future is as there seems no point in them touring South Africa or Australia again given how bad their international and provincial teams are.
  13. Liam Williams is the likely test full-back. He'll start there on Saturday.
  14. Robertson better hope Klopp's Sky+ was on the blink for today's game then. Gash.
  15. The Lions won't be playing like Scotland do so it's an irrelevance to take the style of play and how many tries scored into consideration. As mentioned by Biffer above, there were a few tight calls and all of them went against Scotland players other than Seymour. Twickenham and Allianz Park is the reason those tight decisions went against the players who missed out.
