Squad lends support to rumours on the go that no Aberdeen player will be getting a game for Scotland while McGhee is manager....I mean assistant manager.

What a cunt if true (which going on form would be true). Unbelievable that MR has been overlooked.

 

On the positive, less chance of getting injured playing during a pointless friendly.

Is that Roberson boy the some one we ripped to bit on the 1st? Aye, hes international standard.....!

This does not surprise me.

 

I'm nae going.

[Madbadteacher]

Look on the bright side, less chance to get injured at this important time of the season, cup games, pushing for second etc.

 

If it is down to McGhee, then fuck him and the horse he rode in on!

I don't buy that for a second.  I really don't, IMO our players are not being selected for this pretty meaningless away friendly (this is a jolly for the away support, i.e. lets go play somewhere where the booze is cheap and the birds are hot) because their club (who both manager and assistant had very successful and happy periods at lest we forget) is competing really well in all competitions with a squad that does not have an over-abundance of depth.  This is a far more likely scenario than the asst manager of a national team that also has little depth vetoing any promising players on the basis that they are coming from the wrong club dontchathink? That just sounds ridiculous to me, can you honestly imagine that Strachan would tolerate for a second his assistant being so fucking petty?  I've heard Gordon Strachan being described as many things but never as a man that suffer fools lightly.  Cmon guys we're not fucking celtic fans, lets stop being paranoid.

Strachen in papers saying Dons players not being picked as they have not been on form for long enough but picks a cunt who has not kicked a ball for his club for 6 months. Total shite from Strachen.

Is there any former Dons player from the 80's who isn't a fucking prick?

Terrible fishing but Brian Irvine springs to mind.

Stream was awful from Daily Ranger. Why this was not covered by any of the national channels. Decent result again. That's 5 games undefeated for national team.

Was at the U21 game instead (Scotland v Hungary) Ryan Fraser best player we had. Played up front behind Patterson on hearts who was prob our 2nd best player. Stuart Armstrong of Utd was utter shite, hype hype hype.
