Orraloon Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 9 hours ago, Texas Pete said: I missed Gibraltar’s goal as I went for a slash after our first goal and still haven’t seen it. Heard it was a cracker of a strike though. I could easily believe Hanley was to blame for it except for one tiny detail. He wasn’t playing. I don’t even think he was on the bench that day. It was still his fault though, for not being good enough or fit enough to get in the team. It's funny how some players get slagged off no matter what. When we got humped in Oslo one guy was cursing and swearing at Paul Hartley every time he gave the ball away. His mate let him go on about it for 15 minutes or so then politely told him "Hartley's no playing ya daft cunt". To which the reply was "Jist shows you how pish he is then, if he cannae get a game in front of this bunch o useless fukers" It's hard to argue against logic like that.

Was it Jim Craig that got that from Jock Stein once? He'd been relieved to be on the bench when all eleven got torn apart one by one by Stein at half time. But then the big man came to him...

Some of the pish that gets spouted at Hampden (and all football stadiums) is ridiculous. I used to hear Gary McAllister getting pelters (even before 96) for being shite. James Forrest gets some amount of abuse as well, even when he has a decent game for us. No doubt somebody will jump on this and say he’s never had a decent game for Scotland but he has. He’s never really done anything spectacular and definitely doesn’t always reproduce his club form at international level but he’s not as bad as some people make out.

Frankly it would be embarrassing beyond belief if Souttar ended up playing door Australia ahead of us. Souttar will be named in the senior squad tomorrow apparently.

BucksburnDandy Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 My only slight disagreement was Kevin McDonald, thought he was awful in the Costa Rica game, I'd have like to have seen Ryan Jack in the squad. Suspect if McArthur was available, he'd have been ahead of McDonald. Bar that, very happy with the squad. Glad Scott McTominay hasn't had his head turned by English advances, unlike what Declan Rice has had after playing for Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Scotlandfan Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Mulgrew, Souttar, Hendry the only centre backs. Surprised no Hanley. And does this mean we won’t be playing a back 3? Or does it mean Tierney is being treated as a centre back? No jack either. Could have covered for O’Donnell at right back and would be the only true defensive midfielder in the squad playing regularly. Don’t mind Ritchie, Snodgrass, D Fletcher, S Fletcher, Bannan, Morrison and Rhodes missing out. This squad will have to build its own experience and leaders though.

Toepoke Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Appreciate there's a lot of competition in midfield but I was hoping we might get to see if playing in Italy has helped Liam Henderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Scotland Ever More said: When Jack Hendry is one of the other few options then turning our noses up at league one might not be the best idea. Being honest, I look at the squad and just says to me Eck has a eye on moving Tierney into a more central role, as squad does look VERY weak on the central defender front.

Doric Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 What about up front McBurnie !!!!!!! We were worried about the defence now up front is as bad. Griffiths has lost his touch and the alternative is errrrr Mc Burnie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
