davew Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It's ridiculous when you compare our left-back options to our right-back options: Bardsley Patterson Love Hutton Palmer Martin We potentially have 5 left-backs that are all better than our best right-back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Grandfaither used to call me this when I was young and I used to ask him why as I kicked with my right.

Ridiculous really Forsyth does have (at least) one cap. I was there when he was shocking in Dublin. He is certainly not good enough. Douglas doing well and has certainly upped his game since leaving Tannadice. He still can’t lace Robertson ‘s boots who was superb last night but perhaps other young Scots should be doing what Douglas did and move abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove Dalglish though who wasn't turning in anything like world-class performances at that time and add Peter Lorimer. Some players we had back then. Maks ye greet.

ceudmilefailte Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Reason for posting Brazil game team was the players ages. How did we manage it then without countless friendlies and penalty kick qualifiers. Checked to see if debuts were in home internationals and hardly any were. Wish we still had under 23 games would bring a lot of the players we talk about here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whilst Robertson and Tierney are ahead of him now, they have always. Didn't Douglas win the Polish league before KT even made his Celtic debut? At a time we were still calling up Wallace from the lower leagues. Burke was getting called up at Forest and then ignored when he moved to Germany. The point I'm making is that we need to make sure the next manager looks at leagues outside of Scotland and England (although there is only Gauld worth watching at the moment).

Third Lanark Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've just solved out right back problem! Jack Grimmer, now at Coventry has just given them the lead against Stoke. Now, before anyone starts, NI, Wales and the 2 Irelands care not what league their players perform in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would appear to be some way off on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macy37 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I’m still eagerly anticipating that poster telling us why Mulgrew is a big time Charlie and shouldn’t be a role model or playing for his country. Anyone would think the poster is a bullshitter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't at the game yesterday but the reports indicated that Grimmer had a hard time of it with their left winger really putting him under pressure. Not sure we'll see him advance up the league as we did with Fleck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Scotlandfan Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ryan Gauld not even on the bench for Aves today and haven't heard of any reports of an injury.

Since he’s been back from injury he’s been taken off at half time once and made sub short sub appearances. It’s not as if they’ve been doing well without him. Not sure why he’s been given such short opportunities. A loan to a league where he’s proven himself before might be his best option...managers know how effective he can be here.
