Are we really this unlucky that our star player, all four of them are not able to play this weekend? I don't think some of us can be blamed for taking the cynical approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of them could learn a lot from his commitment and desire. Absolutely support that. He brings much more to a team than just his ability, just look at Hearts over the past year. With all his injuries it's a credit to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get why Tierney has been getting it tight but this cunt is just as bad, especially when you add his apparent aversion to plastic pitches! 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo cop Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Has Steven Fletcher retired from international football or what, time we got the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 He obviously rates Devlin - all the squad inclusions and chucking him in Russia - so I'd imagine we'll see McKenna & Devlin together. Porteus has looked decent the few times I've seen him. He was excellent away to Czech Rep U21s. A real no-nonsense lad who marshaled his defence. He specifically told George Johnston (who had been booked) and was mouthing off to basically STFU and get back to defending and see out the last 5-6 mins as a team and get the point.

Scotsdeutsch Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 3 hours ago, JECK said: As someone mentioned it appears big English clubs can bribe players into quitting altogether. In the fullness I could see the big champions league regular clubs breaking away to form their own compettion and as a condition banning their players from international call ups. It’s absolutely spot on this. It’s clear as day this is happening. There is an elephant in the room here. Come on isn’t it obvious???! I say we introduce tighter call off rules. We should grade each call off on merit. If it’s an actual injury then fine. However in Tierneys case-he’s clearly fit to play for Arsenal that should be a strike. Three strikes and you’re banned. Permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We definitely suffer from call offs like Wales and NI did in their wilderness years. When players are feeling knocks, they see a failing national team and think "nah fuck turning up for that". It doesn't help that more often than not, the SFA accept the sob stories from the clubs. As soon as the SFA made turning up more optional under McLeish, we have seen the call off culture creep in. Ultimately it has been endemic over this campaign and unless we get on top of it, this will continue for a long time. The only way we can do it is to call players up and assess them ourselves where dubiety exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrisandmoo Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Im now even more raging at Tierney. He has let his country down big time. Should be ashamed of himself. Never had him down as a spineless rat...but there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed Kazakhstan because of a knee injury he got in 2015, 4 years ago. Ive no idea what the state of his knee is now but the layman medic in me thinks surely it’s back to full levels of fitness?

The only way we can do it is to call players up and assess them ourselves where dubiety exists. If it was optional under McLeish then it seemed to be a requirement to call off under Burley. Did we not pick up someone in an airport in London on way to Japan (?) as we had so many call offs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to get a bit perspective in your life if a player calling off from a football game gets you that worked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just my complete lack of apathy about the whole set up and situation that I can’t get myself worked up about anyone calling off. It is what it is. If he/they don’t want to play and rest up then folks fuming about it isn’t going to change the situation. More important things to worry about than some football players with blasé attitudes to Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I'm close to laughing at how pathetic the sfa are in allowing the team we all followed to get this bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
