Hertsscot Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Adams is 24. I believe neurologists think that the brain doesn't fully develop until that age. And that is the scientific explanation for why he has done the right thing in opting for the dark blue of Scotland!

One's just more polite If anyone finds playing for Scotland a 'hindrance' then I'm happy for them to walk. The difference is significant. If you offered somebody a sweet and they said not at the moment thanks or Fuck Off, you can ramm your sweet im sure you would see the difference. Hinderance probably wasnt the correct word to use. Just highlighting the international football takes sacrifice and nobody would do it unless they actually wanted to. Would you give up the vast majority of your holidays to go and do something that you didnt want to do? Why would it be any different for a footballer?

JECK Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I assumed Adam’s had a decent scoring rate hence his inclusion. 7 in 28, turns out he’s sh*te as well. We’ve no chance of doing anything with this current mob of strikers, get them all TF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JECK Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Obviously not but it’s a thoroughly demoralising state of play. We’re talking Berti Vogts era levels with where we are at the moment with our strikers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more a second striker who provides assists and hold up play. A bit like Steven fletcher. It's not often we have strikers who can cut it in a top league so he's defo an upgrade on what we have ability wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our options are still pretty poor in terms of strikers. Adams is the only 1 who is good enough for the epl, maybe Griffiths could be as well if he sorted himself out but it seems like he wants piss his career down the drain. We could do with a bona-fide goalscorer to emerge as goals have been a problem for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get his head / attitude sorted if he is ever to be considered again. Its frustrating as a fit, in form Griffith would start every game for us. He's still managed a goal every 122mins although I agree he seems determined to fuck his best years down the drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany has included non-German players just because they acquire a German passport; we can't do I don't give a toss what Germany do.It's Scotland that I'm totally committed to.Pity you can't say the same about this adams character.

Shaundy Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I am glad for the guy. He’s made a IMO good choice at a time after much deliberation. Three countries over the last seven years have tried to tie him to their national teams. he’s a cute name too. Everton as a middle name is boss 🥑 he’s already played for St Andrew’s too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some positions though are iffy and not dissimilar to that period in terms of the ability of the players. You look at our squad and you feel like the following would really improve it though; Patterson for Palmer Kelly for McLauglin Turnbull for McLean Gauld for McBurnie Cooper for Considine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ramy 1314 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Not happy he chose the english over us, but he is committed to Scotland now. Bang a few in and I'll maybe change ma mind..🏴🏴🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theabsentee Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 17 hours ago, er yir macaroon said: Clarke said something along the lines of “if a player (already contacted and declined) wants to get in touch after the euros, i’ll consider it.” Since technically the WC qualifiers are after the Euros i think this is what has happened. It’s a bigger squad, Adams is in. He’ll drop out for the Euros even if he scores three hat-tricks. I think the other players would be okay with this, and it would be a risky move otherwise. If one of the strikers that got us qualified gets injured, things may be different. No disrespect but that's total nonsense. He is in the squad now then it's his place to lose. If he plays & performs well in the WC qualifiers he goes to the Euros on current form simple as.. As for strikers that got us qualified apart from Dykes let's not even go there.

I do not think anyone is kidding themselves that he is seriously committed to Scotland for anything more than he is nowhere near the England team and Steve Clarke has offered him a chance to go to the Euros. Its what he does from now on that matters. Irrelevant as he is committed now 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has said he is willing to finally represent Scotland after finally giving up hope of his preferred choice of England ever coming calling. If you can call that committed - fair enough. Is he the sort I'd expect to see him run through brick walls for us, turn up for squads carrying niggles, give 100% commitment and effort to the cause and sticking around if things don't go to plan then I say not. Someone who rejects representing a country three times cannot be called committed to the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the 'sad' reaction to this post then yes it is sad that Scotland fans put such low stock from what they expect from players who represent Scotland. I never thought I'd see the day people were pleased and excited that someone point blank rejects chances to represent Scotland THREE times to THREE different managers and only changes his mind when the Euros are on the horizon.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the emoji thing. Personally, it's been happening to me since the end of last year. In another thread I said that I know a lot of women that have been raped.. you guessed it. The reaction was a laughing emoji. But yeah, I'm totally on the same page as you with regards the Che Adams situation. My poll would suggest that you and I are in the minority. 74% of the voters are happy to see Adams called up.
