HibeeJibee Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Astonished to read today that Strachan and his A squad coaching team take no involvement whatsoever in U21 squad selection. Ricky Sbragia just picks whoever he fancies.McGhee has revealed that he and Strachan surprisingly have no influence or involvement in selection for the U21s. He said: "I am surprised Chris Cadden has been omitted and I'm really disappointed... Gordon and I made a very conscious decision when we came into the job that we would deal with our squad and wouldn't interfere. McGhee has revealed that he scarcely sees Sbragia and has not discussed the situation with him... He added: "It's up to Ricky to pick his squad just as it's up to us to pick our squad". Surely there should be a joined-up system identifying and bringing through, especially if they're trying to foster particular tactics and a "Scottish style of play" through the age-levels.

I'm a big fan of his 2002 album 'Escapology'. There's some 10 on 10 bangers on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I quite like the I don't wanna Rock DJ song because it brings back a very specific memory for me, mum was listening to it whilst building living room furniture and a 90th minute goal to make it 3-2 by George Rowe goal was scored by Arbroath away to St Mirren on Soccer Saturday. This is much more enjoyable than talking about Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I think more Robbie Williams turns up at charity shops than any other modern-day singer or group. Lichtie, if your maw ever fancies living in a house made of his CDs/DVDs, I can probably arrange it. ...and still have plenty left over for recycling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 ^ I am in no way surprised by this or McGhee making a total flange of himself in public about it. A Scotland managerial career entirely focused on excluding Aberdeen players and he has the cheek to go have a tantrum to the press about an u21's cap. p***k.

craigkillie Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I make it just the 4 Aberdeen players who have been called up since McGhee was involved with Scotland (Jack, Reynolds, Shinnie, McLean), so I can understand the fury. Presumably Andrew Considine or Peter Pawlett should also have been in there at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulloch Gorum Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Another example of the utter lack of joined-up thinking that is so typical of football in this country. What a hopeless approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Barbrady Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Didn't the assistant manager (Smith, Brown, Miller then Burns/Bonhof) take the u21s as a rule in the good old days?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny131 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The fact Rickyasauris sgbria or wat ever he is called, as actually allowed to manage our u21s says everything we need to know about the clowns running our game. Seriously this is the man who is in charge of the next batch of players being groomed to 1 day play for the 1st team. Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fellow Dons Fan can you really say ATM there are any Dons Players, Scottish Ones, who are performing better than those in the Squad just now? Do not get me wrong In the past I fully agree Dons Players have been shafted but IMO there are no Dons Players deserving of it. Sadly Shinnie is playing at a time when we seem to have quality LB options in an abundance. That is just the reality just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
