I was sure that Barnes was getting a mention near the end of last year because there was some indication that he would be interested in Scotland? I know he bigged up England more recently though

He *was* an average Championship striker, which would be good enough for us considering. However, is form has been consistently miss for the entire season. If there are only 23 slots then surely he knows the score, we can't carry liabilities.

He has been valuable for us but we need to pick people that will contribute this summer, this isn't the Oscars where you get awards for historical effort. If he starts playing well for QPR then he should still be considered. I am not holding my breath

I watched the Doak games. He was lively and dangerous in all of them except for the USG game where he was on the LW, and the Chelsea game where he was on for about 10 mins. He was also poor in an EPL vs Brighton the season before. On the LW in that game as well. Maybe the only concern about him is that that he never cuts inside or varies it up - might explain the Klopp RW experiments.

Get Craig Levein back in and go 4-6-0

I like him and I was suprised, but then you see stuff like Everton issuing a hands off like in the link below. He seems to be simultaneously considered not good enough and one of the hottest properties in Europe. https://x.com/EFCdaily_/status/1754885270183289328?s=20

Does UEFA use Secutix as well for the Euros?

He has played every game, the full 90 minutes.

To be fair, I can't think of many players who stayed at SPL clubs becoming successful either.

The only advantage I can think of is whether even the high price tout tickets could become hard to get in the meantime at current markup rates.

Where they are at the moment, McT arguably is their best performing player. He is their top scorer this season. Who would be rated above him? Garnacho maybe? You can't gauge how good a player is in that Man U team. People naturally assume the other players are better because you know they were top grade performers at other clubs. Who knows how good McT actually is? He could be Ballon d'Or quality for all we know

Aer Lingus flights from Dublin to Germany are still cheap BTW

What percentange of SSCers will apply for tickets I wonder. There isn' t really any recent equivalant events to compare it to. Was SSC around for France 98? How many SSCers applied for the Euro 20 game at Wembley?

The article is OK. The guy is an Irish war correspondent with close ties to Eastern Europe. it is only posted here because the poster was scraping the barrel trying to find an example of a Welsh football pundit publicly backing Ukraine to beat Wales. It is completely out of context

Do you have any examples of actual Wales pundits or fans wanting Ukraine to win or suggesting they be given a by? I think the closest you have is a Guardian Foreign War Correspondent who claims "Welsh heritage"
