Grantyboy1983 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I was another who witnessed this from C5 in the North Stand last night and I have to say in live time it didn't look that bad a tackle, it certainly sounded as if he made contact with the ball. However, watching the replay you can see it was a two-footed lunge with studs showing so should have been a red card even in a friendly. I will say however, I don't think it was a deliberately malicious tackle and IMO i think he was showing enthusiasm by chasing the man down to try and win possession back with a view to impress the gaffer and just got carried away in the heat of the moment. Maybe if we didn't keep giving the ball away, in the 2nd half especially, he might not have made that tackle, surely the players were a wee bit frustrated at the lack of possession as well as the crowd were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like Bridcutt as a player then fair enough. If it sticks in the craw that he's not Scottish, that's fair enough too. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But...I can't agree that his (or anyone's) Scotland future should hinge on one bad tackle. Are you suggesting that we bin everyone who makes a bad challenge? Or are you're saying that Bridcutt didn't show enough last night to warrant selection again? If so, fair enough, but I find it harsh to judge someone on 20 minutes of football, where the team were hanging on.

stitch Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 it was a bad tackle and should have been a red card. to say he should never play for Scotland again is way OTT. He is a good player and has done a good job in a hard game on a bad pitch for us in the past. If you go down the road of he is not Scottish then we will need to ditch half the squad. i'm sure you were saying why is maloney playing for us after the ROI game. I don't like the rules on who can play for what country but they are in place and we have to use them like everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, someone born in Malaysia, with Scottish parents and also grew up in Scotland is clearly the same as someone born in another country whose ties to Scotland are one grandparent.

Maloney was born abroad, but to Scottish parents and moved back to Scotland as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying they ARE Scottish or they are part time / fake / not Scottish as they both weren't born in Scotland ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
