Gordopolis Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Calling up someone and skipping the U19/U21 route didn't really work either, did it? Who did we do that with? Burke and Tierney both played for the U19s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfft...if you want to be "accurate"... I wasn't aware Burke had played for the U19s, given it was said at the time that he'd been called straight up. Was it just the U21s he missed? The point still stands though - this whole "get rid of everyone over x" is rubbish. Certain people we will punt, because they offer less than someone else in the squad. Others we'll keep, because they still offer something. The folded arms "well they've failed before" argument is luckily a bit more simplistic than the level even our shitest managers think at.

Yeah no point in making some sweeping, generalised and artificial boundary for ourselves. If we've got a 36 year old turning in matchwinning performances, get him in the squad. If we've got a 17 year old on fire then give him a chance too. It always feels better to have more in the latter category but realistically the sweet spot is a balance between the two.

Gordopolis Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Mctomninay starting again and starring as man u beat Chelsea today. Building up my hopes that he'll be in McLeish's first squad... the romantic fool that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building up my hopes that he'll be in McLeish's first squad... the romantic fool that I am. He was brilliant today but I thought he was poor in midweek. McLeish should be having a chat; lad has a bright future based on today's game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig McCulloch Burley Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Big Eck is expected to unveil his first squad next week — but these are the players I’d have a look at against Costa Rica and Hungary. Who players in Scotland squad next week face Costa Rica and Hungary next month for McLeish first name squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 McBurnie worth a call up. Cummings is flopping badly at Rangers, Martin, S Fletcher and Naismith all well off the boil, Griffiths injured.Struggling to think who else we have in the striking dept?

skippy2015 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Mcleish meeting with mctominay today does he have it in him to give an inspirational speech to convince him to choose Scotland. Southgate I’m sure will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppino Impastato Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 McLeish would probably be better at intimidation. He should just say pick us or the next time we play England I'm gonna pick myself and fkn smash you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I can imagine Southgate being quite timidly passionate (oxymoron I know) and McLeish being more old school bullish about it. Maybe McLeish's tone will resonate with McT's Dad's - assuming his dad is the one who has seeded his reported leanings towards Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Should have hired Yogi to do his ‘passion’ speech to him. Better than Mel Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
