csinclair Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I've seen murmurings of Jack Elliott at Philadelphia Union being recommended to Clarke. 6ft4 ball playing CB plying his trade in MLS, born in London to a Scottish family.

I doubt there fans gave a shit A bit like us when we went loopy when Don Hutchison (born in Gateshead) scored against England in the play-off match.

And James Morrison. A player who admittedly got off to an awkward start with us and it took a while for people to warm to him. Yet in time he became a very committed and proud Scotland player who gave his all for us. He was going mad with joy when he scored against England.

Philadelphia Union are playing Inter Miami at half 12 tomorrow morning. So a chance to check out Jack Elliot and Lewis Morgan. There was talk of Harvey Barnes of Leicester, a while back. I would take him in a heartbeat, if he was interested. It's been a while since we had a real creative spark. Forrest and Christie try, but they lack any real quality. And Fraser, well, he doesn't try and he lack any real quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 It wouldn't surprise me if Harvey Barnes is called up for England's upcoming games. He never had any interest in playing for us. Move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let people like him blow us out and wait for England then when they come with their tail between their legs claiming eligibility and some gullible nay desperate fans will welcome them. Not me.

I wouldn't have Taylor in the "deadwood" category. In fact I would have him in the starting line up for the play off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's usually the kind of wanker that plays far too much Football Manager for their own good and gets all excited when they find a player who's "Secondary Nationality" is listed as Scotland.

Taylor1996 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) When did "You play Football Manager" become the go-to insult? Managers, coaches and even footballers play it, so I don't know why it's become a reactionary joke to some people. Personally, I haven't played it since 2013. As for dual nationality: Players like Graham Alexander, Don Hutchinson, if they had a choice, would've picked Scotland over England, Scott McTominay did.

Go on name the managers who play Football Manager then. Actually, it's well known that Graham Alexander has identified as being Scottish since childhood. When he played for Scunthorpe and Luton he sometimes found time to attend Scotland games. He was among the Scotland support at France 98 too.

The current Manchest United manager: "It's a fantastic game, I have learned a lot about football from it," Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said back in 2013." https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/story/4084425/from-solskjaer-to-griezmann-how-football-manager-keeps-virtual-fans-engaged%3fplatform=amp Cue the obvious jokes about him not being a good manager/he'll be out of a job in a couple months, etc. He's a manager and he clearly plays it/has played it. Point made. Tons of players play it. Scouts use it. In 2018, Everton bought the rights to the Football Manager database. It's the easiest thing in the world to be snooty and tear things down. It takes little effort. Edited September 29, 2020 by Taylor1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Southampton looking to cash in on Angus Gunn today, with Stoke favourites to sign him in a swap deal, so looks like he is even further out the picture with regards to a England call up.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer lad although always liked and respected his dad. Always turned up as number 3 goalie behind Leighton and Goram. Son, not so and hopefully McCrorie makes that position his own in years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
