Buttocks Brown Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Gogic will be a happy man tonight: a famous win for Cyprus over Greece. He came on as a sub in the 75th minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Fantastic to see Baccus and Strain playing for the Aussies, and to see Gallagher inspiring Scotland to victory as well Edited September 25, 2022 by Coventry Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I believe that makes it 7 players in our squad who have been capped by their country. Surely a record? Carson, Strain, Gallagher, Gogic, Baccus, Brophy, Greive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I hate international football, don't watch it and don't believe that having seven players from our current squad capped at the same time is of anything more than a marginal benefit (if at all) to our club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The substantial amount of money your club would get if the two Aussies go to the World Cup might be a pretty big benefit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer not to hold the WC in Qatar - tainted money. P1608 of this thread was a waste of time and if I'm that much out of step then I'd be more inclined just stop supporting football altogether. I've stopped watching English football, European football and any games on Sportscene not directly affecting St. Mirren it wouldn't take much more to cut out Saints too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree with any of this. @craigkillie has mentioned the potential money, which is one thing. Of more importance is the standing of the club, and the idea that players can come here and be picked for their national team. Not only that, we've got players who are newly being picked. McGrath, Ronan, Baccus, Strain, and Lewis Morgan a few years back. That's great for future recruitment. Plus we stand a chance of bringing in better fees for those players when they leave. Also, to flip it on its head, it shows we've generally gone up a level in terms of the standard of our squad. That doesn't benefit us, but it shows we're progressing. Only downside is risk of injury and or fatigue, but I'll take that against those positives. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I don’t think the World Cup should have been awarded to Qatar, but then again, I don’t think Russia should have got it, and I think F1 hold races in a few questionable locations. Not a lot I can do about it, unless I paint a banner complaining and take it to a Sellik game - that’ll sort it. Anyway… I think it’s great to see as many St Mirren players as possible gain international recognition. These aren’t diddy countries with diddy international squads. If our boys are getting into these squads, it’s because they have been doing well, playing well, and aren’t shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also shows players that they can get International caps at Saints, which will help convince future signings that St Mirren is a good fit for their career. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure as Declan Gallagher has been capped before and played in important games at international level. Porteous would be a risky choice in such an important game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my thoughts too .But i think the fact he picked the cheat over Declan in the first place swings it for him hope I'm wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenburn bud Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I’m a bit puzzled by a Saints Poster who doesn’t see the benefits of having so many players involved at international level. Each to their own I suppose, probably just scunnered with football in general. I think it’s brilliant for the profile and prestige of the club. Not to mention the possible financial boost, if both Aussie lads make their squad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insaintee Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Baccus and Strain are all likely to move on next year. Which is better? Selling them as Aussie full internationals that played in the world cup or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
