RobRoy69 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Another meaningless game. I'm not bothered about formations..if we can't field 11 players with the balls to go and beat Albania & Israel in the return fixtures then we really are in trouble. We need the ship steadying and prep for those games. Scott Brown should be begged to come bak and build from there: a few names I'd play Old & New..Scott Brown, Scott Boyd, Stuat Findlay, Callum McGregor,Paul Hanlon, Chris Burke, Jack Hendry, Graeme Shinnie, Scott McKenna, Jamie Brandon, Ross McCrorie, Berra, Gordon, Naismith, Forrest, Darian MacKinnon, Lewis Ferguson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulgrew is injured and Tierney was always going to pull out after Thursday. Celtic didn’t want him playing the friendly apparently with Celtic’s schedule. Not that I agree they should have a say. Souttar wouldn’t have started as he will be suspended for Albania but I’d be interested to hear why Snodgrass has withdrawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I remember the 5-0 game well... “the night a team died” was the headline. We had much better players then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son's available too under the grandparent rule, he's a bit of a headless chicken, hasn't really played competitively since he was about 11 but he can run around and stuff like that.

And it looks like they don't fancy it under McLeish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Personally I would play a four and have Robertson as my left back. Tierney on the bench or at rb in future if he is better than the alternatives which appears to be the case at the moment. If I was the manager I wouldn’t have players picking their games. It would be you are fit, you play. Or you don’t get back in. Alan Hansen would piss on any of the current squad but was dropped by Ferguson for the World Cup in 86 for exactly that.

If that's a legit offer then I'm all for it! At least you and your son would care more than a bunch of numpties that want to stay in good shape for their clubs. Sorry about the diagnosis, by the way.

Chris Burke wasn’t good enough for Scotland 10years ago when he was in his prime. Scott Boyd, seriously? Darien Mckinnon isn’t even the best midfielder at Hamilton. Fuck me I know things are bad but c’mon. we could have messi, Ronaldo, Bale and Hazard and somehow McLeish would still fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
