crazylegsjoe Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I do unreservedly think Turnbull deserved a call up, but I guess with McGregor/Armstrong/McGinn/McTominay/McLean all in there, we are actually relatively well served in the centre. Every other position has room for incomers/youngsters. It could even be that Cairney finally deciding he's interested again is what cost Turnbull a place. In other news: Morton/QOS/Dumbarton/Annan in the league cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better for the lad to get a break for next season anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 There’s no Scotland under 21 games so Turnbull should at least get a rest. He could still get a call up if we have the usual shit tonne of call offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - after watching Campbell - the hardest working boy in Scottish fitba - looking fucked until Christmas - I'm intensely relaxed about Div getting the summer off.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONeils4Oyarder Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Aye I get that its good for the boy to get a rest, but a cap or two would have done his confidence absolute wonders, it would have also helped enhance any transfer fee potentially. From my point of view, as a Motherwell fan, I love to see guys getting called up for their country, particularly Scotland as its unusual and a bit of an achievement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my point of view, as a Motherwell fan, I love to see guys getting called up for their country, particularly Scotland as its unusual and a bit of an achievement Can't argue with any of that. For me, Turnbull would've been the squad on merit this time completely. I feel our last two Scotland internationals have been stumbled on to an extent. Cadden and Saunders stumbled into squads due to a high number of call-offs for unattractive friendlies, it's probably fair to say. I've never been one to overly tout Motherwell players for Scotland when I don't think they deserve it either, in my time going to games (1997 - present), I would probably say the only Scotsman who played with us that deserved a cap and never got one is probably Martyn Corrigan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Every time someone reminds me Steven Saunders got a cap my mind honestly bends. Wild stuff. Fully agreed on Corrigan. While it was a friendly and a bit daft, was always really pleased that Stevie Hammell got a cap. I know an international call up it isn't a 'reward' for being steady and consistent for ages, but I'd imagine it's something he's always quite proud of. On Turnbull: I'm not really arsed. If folk don't want to see him play football then that's their loss, IMO.

I know it's a stretch but in a world where Saunders, Garry Kenneth and Jack Hendry have 6 caps between them, peak Mark Reynolds can probably consider himself unlucky not to have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) New Winger signed - Jermaine Hylton Edited May 29, 2019 by Swello 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) I notice he's listed on his Wiki as being a 'forward'. Seems he played League 1 level with Swindon as well as coming from a "non-league environment" and appeared on Wayne Rooney's Street Striker. Here he is lads...going by his video that's he's Frear's replacement as a wide left option. Edited May 29, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFC97 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Club also saying they are trying to agree a deal with Gboly... Hylton looks a good buy probably a replacement for either Hastie or Frear I would think! I reckon if we can get another 2 strikers in plus Gboly and maybe another defender we will be well on our way to the top 6 next season!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I was expecting@capt_oats to have a highlights video up when I just read a group chat message saying he’d signed. I’m not disappointed. Good man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
