To be honest, I'm in no position to comment on Clark or Kelly (I'm a bit out of it down here in Southampton) but Gunn is nothing special IMO.

Got to say despite the obvious loyalties issue I hadn't heard ANYONE talking about him at all!? I don't watch much English football right enough, is he getting a lot of coverage doon there? he's hardly had a mention up here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's keeping Tim Krul and Michael McGovern out of the Norwich team at present. Whilst both are 'getting on a bit' both are international keepers and he is clearly no 1 at Carrow Road so must be doing okay. If it wasn't for Gunn's past I'm sure all on the board would be saying we should be looking at him. It could be argued that he's the Scotland eligible keeper playing at the highest level.

The point has been made alreafy that, pre-Gordon's injury nobody was saying get Gunn in as back-up. So all of a sudden he has become brilliant? I don't think so it is more because people have become desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper he’s probably good enough to be called up, remains to be seen if he wants that though. I have sympathy with the he’s English opinion but it is what it is, if he’s good enough and wants to play for us now and more importantly is committed going forward then Clarke will pick him.

The fact that our 3 goalies for the next squad could be; Rab C Nesbitts wife, Tam from still game & my mate Dave who works in the bookies down the road are the main reason why it is likely if Gunn is available & committed he will be straight in now.

So has he been on the bench recently as back up to our keepers? I don't recall seeing his name mentioned at all... I hate this eligibility pish, we should have more dignity than to bend over to anyone who is "eligible" when it suits them, ie when they realise they're not good enough for their "chosen" country.

I saw him play a few times at Southampton, but we have since sold him to Norwich City. For me, he did the basics, but little more than that. Southampton signed him for £13m; a fee which surprised me at the time because he hadn't really done much up until that point, but also because we had Fraser Forster and I wondered why we're paying £13m for someone to sit on the bench (we already had Alex McCarthy to do that). According to Wikipedia, Gunn only made 22 appearances for The Saints... £590'000 per match 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton had better options? As I said in an earlier post he cost that amount of money purely for where he was being signed from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ramy 1314 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I cannae believe folk still want this clown. He is English, played for England, said he would rather play for England rather than Scotland.. Fuck off and stay in England.

If Gunn gets selected I'll be supporting Scotland and as he'd be playing I'll wish him the best for our sake. But that does not mean I have to like it at all. And its fanny adams to do with being anti-English. Look at the flak Aiden McGeady got for turning his back on Scotland and he is not English.

It’s easy to post overly dramatic things on a message board but they’ll still celebrate when the Englishman scores. I’d have Marshall back in the squad if fit and on form so not sure how that’s relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling me fans did not celebrate when Ched Evans scored after his sex charges? Of course they did? You are cheering your team scoring not celebrating a certain player. It is relevant as an example of how things and opinions change in football. Marshall was a national hero on the night and then the devil incarnate for his error V the Czech Republic. Hunt around on this forum and people have said they don't want Marshall back and those saying he should not have been in his last few squads either. Football supporters are so fickle and lots do have strong beliefs on what international football's rules on player qualification are. Looser regulations are quite possible too becoming like rugby union where residency qualifies players to play for us. Others don't give a crap. Those wanting Gunn in now too will be quick as hell to turn on him if he makes errors. Does that then make them anti-English too?
