Perhaps I’ve not appreciated his qualities. Probably a bit harsh, in conte tvto his CV though, just felt he was never the best keeper in the world, but played for the best team. Although they never looked to replace him, so he couldn’t have been that bad. Not sure if Casillas was ahead on ability alone or if that’s a Madrid bias?

He couldn't have played for Pep though, he wasn't a good enough footballer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyDenoon Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Djimi Traore has a champions League winners medal. Might as well close the thread now, without even needing to reference the FA Cup and League Cup wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely rank rotten and the fact that he has 9 major medals and a decent amount of Scotland caps is ridiculous. I've played fives with better players.

Robbo `81 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Still too soon then ;-) My honest memory of McAllister's Scotland career - not interested in how he played for anyone else - having seen the vast majority of it, is that he played alright against Holland at euro '96 and the rest of the time either stunk the place out or was so anonymous you wouldn't even have known he was on the park, save for Craig Brown insisting he hit every single dead ball... Imo for what it's worth - i.e. zilch - too many Scotland fans allow the last 20 mins or so of his scotland career cloud their judgement of his previous 56? Caps..

sbcmfc Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Brian Mclair would certainly be a candidate based on your criteria, and his 2nd stint at Motherwell reinforced the point. Folk too young to remember his 1st spell will remember him as one of the worst players they’ve ever seen in a motherwell shirt and pretty dung in a Scotland shirt too. I think you’re being a bit harsh on McAllister although perhaps like players before and after he couldn’t live up to peoples expectations in a Scotland shirt, his club career has success throughout, with Leeds in the early 90s and his Indian summer with Liverpool.

One of the best individual performances I’ve witnessed in a Scotland Jersey was by MJ away to Iceland in 2002, after suffering the 2-2 draw away to the Faroes the month before I really didn’t want to go to Reykjavik, glad I did MR was easily the best player on the park that day, had Eider Gudjonsson in his back pocket the whole game. Obviously you’ve saw him play a lot more than me Fairbairn but always liked him for that performance, don’t know if anyone else on here remembers it it but MJ was slapping himself on the side of the head and talking to himself to physic himself up for the battle ahead, loved him for that.
