Savage Henry Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 What about Matt Elliott,he wiz crap. Not at all. Far worse players have been capped. Just read through this thread. There's at least ten centre backs in this thread alone who were far lesser players. Or, more to the point, he was a dick. If that was the criteria, Scotland's worst XI would have about 265 players in it. Unfortunately for Elliott, his reputation comes from something he did not say - at least not in the way it is often claimed. You are aware he was out injured since start of Feb and not dropped? He had 22 appearances this season before his injury Right. And the fact that QPR, by hook or by crook (ho ho) will be in the "big league" next season. Phillips will have a positive impact for Scotland, once he gets himself fit. I think he'll get plenty of chances at QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll get plenty of chances at QPR. Matt Elliot was a decent CB, but his attitude to Scotland was always suspect IMO. I remember him grinning after being sent off for slapping a faroese player. I know he came out and said the right things after this (Sorry to have let the country down etc), and I might well be doing him a disservice, but I reckon the whole thing was a bit of a jolly for him. The program that spawned this thread was picking players like John Terry (iirc) for England's worst XI, so they weren't just using lack of footballing ability as the criteria. Perhaps we need a talentless XI and a dicks XI (or CCXLV)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryhorce Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Glad that you think that about Matt Phillips How ever I reckon QPR will be spending big to stay up again And lots of players will be on the move Phillips has played EPL before and went down Seriously doubt that its his level up there very one dimensional player Far to greedy who cant keep it simple,always trying to knock it past his man Any full back or center half with pace gets wise to that fact very easily So after that what is left in his Arsenal,any tricks up his sleeve,no not at all. Guys only playing for them down to being a athlete his football skills are secondary. Its not what I want from our wingers,even Anya has some tricks and skills up his sleeve. Phillips delivery is pretty poor as well can hardly play a Snodgrass type cross on the run. Where it ends up right on the dial or the plate for who he aims it at,get Phillips to feck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Jim Blyth, championed by Jimmy Hill (his chairman at Coventry City) to replace Alan Rough in goal. Blyth conceded a ludicrous Willie Donachie own goal at home to Wales and never played for Scotland again. The odious Hill was livid, perhaps hoping to get a big fee for Blyth, and heaped even more bile on Roughie from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
