Third Lanark Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 On 27/02/2018 at 12:27 PM, wanderer said: Agree. If he was a central defender and able to get a run of games playing for Man United, I think it would be different, but he is in a position we are not exactly stuck/short on players with at this minute in time (is he being rushed/forced into the team before Mcleish plans because of how good he is or the fact he has got some pretty healthy amount of game time with Man United). McLeish is not one to leave every stone unturned for possible players to call up (he discovered Morrison and seem to recall he did spend a bit of time trying to convince Gabby Agbonlahor to join up with us) so maybe he is in his possible plans. You're wrong there. For defensive MF we have McDonald, McGinn, Coutts and Bridcutt. Not exactly inspiring. Whereas we have around a dozen young centre backs coming along.

He might only get a couple of caps for England. Why is it we cannot get a decent eligibles yet McGeady and McCarthy can snub us for Ireland.

I think Ormond is right, you can't Seperate this from the politics and the Scottish cringe. Add to that a complete lack of footballing success and you get a desperately sad situation. I think the Irish diaspora is much prouder of its roots than ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bribe a 21 year old who has proven the square root of fuck all so far by offering him the captaincy. Let’s see what’s he’s done in a couple of years time before we start dishing out the special player stuff. He looks neat and tidy I’ll give you that. Anyway, the only question Alex needs to ask is are you Scottish. Offering incentives is fucking embarrassing and pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is English by birth to be fair. Granted he’s half Scottish as well, but they’ve every right to pick him and he’s every right to accept.
