Deeboy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Try and debate the issue without attempting to belittle people's posts and resorting to fu responses, especially as I wasn't even responding to you anyway, the opposition was irrelevant to the point being made. Ok. I've seen Fletcher score a hat trick against a full international team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Didn't someone say 10 starts, 4 subs, 1 goal? http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-fletcher/profil/spieler/35099 2 goals, v Toulouse and diddy team in cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Wait I'm wrong. He scored against Toulouse in March apparently. One league goal from six starts and three substitute appearances. Not much to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Pointing out what you're leaving out isn't 'smart árse comments'. If you'd wrote out "I've seen Rhodes score a hat trick against Luxembourg u21" you'd have (correctly) been told, so fùck. "smart árse†- see, you're even using an accent on the "a" ... A clear bias for France-based Fletcher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Rhodes is basically Kris Boyd. There's a time and a place for him, especially at home to lesser teams, but I doubt he's ever going to lead the line for us regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 If Jordan Rhodes was a top class striker we'd have had three points in the bag by the 60th minute tonight as opposed to being 2-2 at the 91st minute. He just doesn't offer enough to lead the line for Scotland. Who said he was a top class striker ffs. Fletcher and Rhodes both clearly have their own strengths and weaknesses and it comes down to a matter of opinion on who people would prefer. Would Boro have got the 3 points if Fletcher played like?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'd stop arguing tbh. People don't care if you've watched him every week. They've seen 30 seconds of highlights and concluded he's as good as Fletcher. He's been at Boro a few months and you two are acting like you're experts on the guy. Fucking hell. Not as if Scottish fans have been watching him the last 6 year or nothing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 They've even seen him score a hat trick in an u21 game! It twas the perfect hattrick as well, left, right, head. I sense your frustration at him not being selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with that, the point is he is being completely overlooked and getting no chance at all - and to an extent McCormack was as well before injuries forced a call up for the Prague game - yet Martin is called up every time and Fletcher starts every game regardless of form. It completely defies belief and raises further questions over Strachan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Fletcher scores a hat-trick for Scotland against Gibraltar - proves he's shite and shouldn't be considered as part of his goals record Rhodes scores hat trick at youth level against a group of Luxembourg cyclists - proves he's top drawer and is used as evidence. Sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Tom English â€@BBCTomEnglish 21m21 minutes ago A goal and an assist for Jordan Rhodes as 'Boro top the Championship. That's 5 goals in his last 7, in case Gordon Strachan is interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Martin is in the same league as Rhodes, at a team consistently finishing higher than Rhodes' was. I'm not sure why he's seen as such a bad choice when he's been scoring around the same amount of goals as Rhodes has, yet he's seen as some sort of saviour.

Have you watched Chris Martin in a Scotland shirt? I assume not if you are wondering why almost to a man, Scotland fans question his inclusion. Plus once again, who is saying Rhodes is a saviour? people are questioning why he is constantly overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Yes, I have. He's been poor. In theory he's the ideal out of the two to play the role we use. Do I think he's the answer? No. Do I think Rhodes would do any better? Absolutely not. As has been said, playing fodder - chuck Rhodes in. When we're the fodder - Rhodes is a waste of a place tbh.
