ceudmilefailte Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Not convinced he is the answer either but have to admit I didn't think mumps would keep him out that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more that his club have put him in isolation for 10 days, so he will only have a week or two of action under his belt after being out for two weeks, so doubt he will be match ready in time.

Texas Pete Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Anyone that tries to come out of international retirement if we reach Euro 2020 should be told to fuck off. The players that get us there are the players that should play in the finals. Unless a new player emerges of course, but players that can’t be bothered with qualifiers have no right to play at the finals in my opinion.

He contributed with some decent saves with one amazing save at the end of the Israel game at Hampden. It would be fair to say we wouldn’t be in the playoffs if it wasn’t for McGregor but you could say the same about James Forrest, Naismith, Fraser and whoever else scored on the games we won or prevented goals by good defending. McGregor doing his job by stopping the ball going in the back of the net before he retired doesn’t give him the right to come out of retirement if we qualify for the finals. If he tried to then it would ultimately be up to Steve Clarke but I would hope McGregor wouldn’t be so brazen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, here's what would happen... We qualify. Allan McGregor makes himself available. Allan McGregor starts tournament as Manager's first choice. Allan McGregor f*cks up and costs us a place in the 2nd phase. Football, eh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a lot of experience around but most i think would struggle to even get a squad place imo. McArthur ((wouldnt make my squad) Ritchie (wouldmt make my squad. Really let us down before and obv doesnt care) Brown (would struggle to get into squad and wouldnt want due to 2 regirements) Snodgrass( would like in squad if showed full commitment) Bardsley (wierd one. Obv doesnt want to play but would give another chance due to desperation) Fletcher ( 50/50 unhappy at commitment but we need strikers so wouldnt mind him in next squad) There is probably more that ive not mentioned too McGregor is the worst of them all Guaranteed starter Doesn't want to play cause he got fined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElChris04 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Agreed with the stance on players who want to come out retirement if we make the euros. you weren’t wanting to play in the games that mattered so we certainly don’t want passengers who only want to help there career CV. Any player who comes out retirement IF, we make Euro 2020 can be told to fuck off. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also played for nearly 15 years with a lot of turning up for squads to sit on the bench and watch Craig Gordon play. He was a very good servant. And he would be a godsend to have back.
