killiefaetheferry Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm pretty sure the post above yours was taking the piss! It's no funny if you have to explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Bannan out, MacKay-Steven in. or Stuart Armstrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2DarkBlues Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm not sure why he's not more liked by TA. He seems to me to be the type of player that may not have the best club career but will give everything in a Scotland shirt. I know the last game was only against Gibraltar but he really made a difference to our attack when he came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the last game was only against Gibraltar but he really made a difference to our attack when he came on. You tell me. Okay he has had off-pitch incidents but so have many of our squad. He's not let us down on the pitch either and because people have a love-in with their own favourites ie GMS and Armstrong and see Bannan as the key man keeping them out of the squad they target him.

Kirk Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think hes a cracking wee player and gives something different. Even away in Spain i remember him tracking back and making a couple of great slide tackles on the by line. Works hard and has something different. Hed be on the field before ritchie anyway, and when maloney goes he could easily slot in there. Yes we have GMS and Armstrong too, its good to have options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flure Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 He won't be a huge loss to our squad if he doesn't get his act together so it's not something to be overly concerned about I don't think. I'd rather he was available for selection than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a good eye for long range passes unlike the five yard lateral passes many of our midfielders are good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goozay Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm not sure why he's not more liked by TA.

I know the last game was only against Gibraltar but he really made a difference to our attack when he came on. Agree with this. This campaign, when he was on the pitch, he was the best Scotland player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'd rather he was available for selection than not. Agreed. We want every player who has the potential to be in the squad to be available if possible. However there are some that are more dispensable than others and, for me, Bannan is definitely in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Bannan helps make us tick in games. It's astonishing how people don't see this. I'm glad the manager does. Edited April 24, 2015 by er yir macaroon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 If the manager seen it I'd imagine he'd start a lot more games. And likewise if the manager thought he was dispensable (as some on this thread reckon) then he wouldn't be a regular in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he shouldn't be in the squad. I'm saying of those in the squad he is one of the more dispensable. There's a distinct difference.

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 He cost us at least one goal by being out of position in Spain. He has some nice touches but don't think he should be a first pick in squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a distinct difference. Others are saying that though. Besides I'd say looking at the amount of squads he has been named in then Gordon would much sooner have him in the squad than not. That much is evident as he has named Bannan in squads even when he had not been getting regular first team football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louch Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 He is dire. Don't see why he makes squads so often. Really unremarkable club career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) He's the size of a jockey, a couple of pints and he would be legless. After his drink drive conviction you would think he would be toeing the line, in saying that sounds a bit of a non-story storm in a tea-cup. But the alarm bells are rining for his club career if he cant get a game in the championship. Edited April 24, 2015 by Robroysboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of Yermaw Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 He is dire. Don't see why he makes squads so often. Really unremarkable club career. Strachan must be a fan of "dire" players then. Our current form even more impressive then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that we now have enough replacements if required, not a starter in dublin i imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
