tlg1903 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 I'm not sure I've ever seen a club captain being captained by his club teammate internationally before. Quote
Jute Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 1-0 to Mexico. Started brightly but poor defending allowed Mexico to score. On the back foot since and probably should be down by more. Quote
Jute Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 1-0 ft. Scotland created more than the Peru game and were maybe unlucky not score however Mexico missed numerous chances. We should have lost by a lot more. Quote
manc_don Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 Great to hear McKenna captaining the team. Good on him. How did he and shinnie play? Presume shinnie won’t play left back very often for obvious reason. Quote

Presume shinnie won’t play left back very often for obvious reason. Thought McKenna had another solid game. Shinnie has a quiet first half when Scotland played with a back 4 but when went to a back 3 and Shinnie moved to the left of midfield he came into the game much more and looked pretty good. Quote
scotfree Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 What a fucking year that McKenna has had. Quote
SeeBass Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 Does anybody agree that we shouldn't really be handing out caps for friendlies?? Quote
dons8321 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 Does anybody agree that we shouldn't really be handing out caps for friendlies?? Sadly if that was the case we'd have even more cry-offs that we already do. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 Does anybody agree that we shouldn't really be handing out caps for friendlies?? I think we should take a cap off all those who called off. Don't see why the guys who actually wanted to play for their country should be penalised. Look at what it meant to both McKenna and Shinnie. Quote

Don't see why the guys who actually wanted to play for their country should be penalised. Look at what it meant to both McKenna and Shinnie. Fit's this? Are you saying that those who were picked for the squad get a cap even though they don't turn up (I've nae idea like, I'm not being critical)? I'm not sure who's being penalised here? Do the replacements nae get a cap anyway? Caps should go to those who play minutes in a friendly. It does them a bit of good, gives them a bit of confidence and something to put on their CV. Huns should not get caps. Quote

Huns should not get caps. The way I understood it, and correct me if I’m wrong B.B was that those who’ve played previously but choose to sit out on friendlies should lose a cap per game they miss. Then they shouldn’t also automatically get picked and go straight into the first team for the proper games. Hence why shinnie shouldn’t get dropped because others are suddenly “available” after choosing not to be previously. Quote

Tongue was partly in cheek, but was a nod to the number of players who called off this time due to tiredness etc, I bet they wouldn't have been tired if it was a World Cup they were going to. Quote
manc_don Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 I thought so, Just liked the idea of it . Would set the cat amongst the pigeons Quote
RicoS321 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 Ahh, understood. That makes sense. That means that Scott Brown has never actually played for Scotland and the rest of the Tims are on negative caps apart from James Forrest who is the only one who actually regularly turns up to the squads without actually turning up on the pitch on match day. Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 It will be interesting to see how this Nations Cup thing goes. Hopefully will make the non-qualifying international games a bit more meaningful for us since we need every route possible to make a finals these days. Might convince some of the no-showers to turn up for duty. Quote

LA-Don Posted August 30, 2018 Report Posted August 30, 2018 Hendry out leaving only two natural central defenders. Devlin should be called up. Our best player so far this season. Quote

Defenders: Charlie Mulgrew (Blackburn Rovers), Stephen O'Donnell (Kilmarnock), Andy Robertson (Liverpool), Graeme Shinnie (Aberdeen), John Souttar (Heart of Midlothian), Kieran Tierney (Celtic).

Forwards: Leigh Griffiths (Celtic), Johnny Russell (Sporting Kansas City), Steven Naismith (Hearts) Quote
RicoS321 Posted September 3, 2018 Report Posted September 3, 2018 11 each in SPL and non-SPL players. Must be a recent record. Quote
tlg1903 Posted September 4, 2018 Report Posted September 4, 2018 How the fuck has Devlin not got a call up! Quote
Ten Caat Posted September 4, 2018 Report Posted September 4, 2018 How the fuck has Devlin not got a call up! They need to shoehorn Tierney into the side so will play him at centre back alongside Souttar. If they play a back 3 then Mulgrew enters the equation. Quote
wee toon red Posted September 4, 2018 Report Posted September 4, 2018 They need to shoehorn Tierney into the side so will play him at centre back alongside Souttar. If they play a back 3 then Mulgrew enters the equation. If Tierney plays centre back it'll be with Mulgrew, at least in the Albania game. With the Belgium game being a friendly McLeish might try Souttar and Tierney together but I doubt it. Would make more sense to give Souttar his debut alongside Mulgrew, who's familiar with the position and has plenty experience. Quote
