PB1994 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I believe Caley Thistle is the most tin pot thing that the SPFL has ever seen. Thread title really should be renamed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The best player in the Premiership last season not being good enough to make the Danish squad. That should make Celtic fans re-evaluate where their team is in the scheme of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it from me to offer any sort of defence here, but personally I'd rather see the likes of O'Riley in my squad than a Christian Eriksen who is well past his best and probably made about half the amount of appearances O'Riley did this season. I think the fact that O'Riley's form bombed between December and March has probably cost him, but let's be honest, he probably should've been called up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone had come as close to losing their life playing for Scotland as Eriksen did and then three years later was back playing in the big leagues it would be pretty tough to explain to the Scottish media why you're dropping them in favour of some English born chap who'd had a good season in Denmark 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with respect to him, what Eriksen went through should have no bearing on whether he gets selected. Maybe there is an element of sentimentality, but Eriksen has been pretty rotten for a while now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I think I'd have found room for O'Riley in that squad to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that, but in terms of forging individuals into an actual team that work for each other sentiment is important. However, You presumably pay more attention to Celtic than I do so maybe I'm just ill informed on this one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 O’Riley has been called up and has two caps. It’s possible the manager has assessed him vs the rest of the squad and decided not to include him. Ditching eriksen for him would be pretty silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland is ineligible for Denmark I'm pretty sure, not quite sure what that has to do with us tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, You presumably pay more attention to Celtic than I do so maybe I'm just ill informed on this one Yeah, I do appreciate in terms of squad morale and cohesion then Eriksen is a good choice. But if you're looking at players based on form and current ability then I think O'Riley shades it. It's probably my overall opinion of Eriksen shining through in all honesty. I thought Pochettino got the best out of him for a two/three season spell at Spurs, but since then I've felt he has declined a lot and been rather average (obviously a lot of that will have to do with his cardiac arrest and missing a lot of football as a result). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that Man United team it's difficult to distinguish individual failures from collective failure. Erikson may suit Hjulmand's plans better than Ten Hag's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Why have Denmark got so many Irish players? Anyway, this for all the kids with a dream, a dream to meet your heroes, to meet your heroes when they are old with long term health conditions and to punch them into unconsciousness Edited May 31 by invergowrie arab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is an element of sentimentality, but Eriksen has been pretty rotten for a while now. Surely the Danish Head Coach is the best person to assess who should and shouldn’t be in the squad ? I remember similar outrage in the Glasgow media when Kyogo was overlooked for the Japan squad for the Asian Cup. These highly rated national coaches are unlikely to change their selection based on a furious response from Chris Sutton or Hugh Keevins mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Numerous questions from me. Who is Caz Milligan? Why do you want to knock out your childhood hero? Why does Nacho Novo deliver all his lines like he's reading ISIS propaganda in a hostage video? Where the f**k did they sign the contract, looks like they did in a renovated McDonalds? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just giving my opinion on who I'd rather have in the squad if it was up to me. My post you replied to though was simply stating that when it comes down to selection, I don't think the fact that Eriksen survived a heart attack should be a factor as to whether he gets selected or not. I'm not expecting a coach to change their selection based on media reaction. Again, it was just my opinion that O'Riley probably merited a call up. Him being left out certainly doesn't belong in the tin-pot thread anyway, that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read what the Danish coach said and he’s almost prompting O’Riley to move to a better league and then he’ll become a squad regular. Will be interesting to see if bigger clubs see this as an opportunity to test if O’Riley want to move to a better league during the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
