He may not be interested in us, though that hasn't been reported by anyone, including himself. He may not be as good as our other options, though it's hard to tell right now. I'd love to see him hit his best form and fitness and join the Scotland squad. We need lads fighting for places, not just walking into them because there are no other options. There was a discussion on Five Live and they mentioned Cairney and how important he is to Fulham, mentioned him coming back from injury and no mention of England. If he was playing regularly and putting in good performances he would be in the squad. As it is Jack and Mctominay called up as they provide defensive cover whereas that is not Cairneys role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, since it didn't happen today. A call on Thursday seems late. The thing is, when he was saying Jack had been called up he was talking about how versatile he was and suggesting he might be going to do a job in defense. That made me think we might play a back 4.. but now if we do that we've got Tierney at right back, which is passable, but if he gets a knock, then what? bates at right back? yeah, good luck david, have a great debut. it all just seems unnecessarily negligent.

We are going nowhere but obscurity. I can accept that he's lost the fans, however, what I can't accept is him "losing the players". At the end of the day, the players aren't playing for Alex McLeish, they're playing for the fans, themselves, their families and their nation. If you are correct that the players are pulling out as a direct hit on Alex McLeish, those players should never be given the honour of wearing a Scotland jersey ever again, I have to say, though, it sure as hell looks that way. I suppose we'll know who's injured and who isn't, come their next league match. Of the ones who have pulled out injured; the ones who have pulled out to "work on their fitness" are long gone to us. "Working on their fitness"... deary me, you'd think they spent half their days down the mines or doing a real job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElChris04 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 As mentioned by another guy on here he should have already been giving the sack with last months batch off games. He’s clueless and sent our national team backwards to the preistoric period with his “tactics”. Genuinely believe he doesn’t know what he’s doing half the time the man is just clueless. But realistically I want him sacked any less than 2 wins and he deserves the boot. He’s embarrassed us enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree, to have a good national team you have to have a manger who knows how to set up a team so of course it’s normal if he’s lost the dressing room with his worse than awful tactics regardless off how big an honour it is to pull on your country’s jersey.
