Roxanne's man Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Jason Cummings, James McCarthy, Lyndon Dykes, Aiden Mcgeady, Sean Maloney, Richard Gough..... The United Kingdom is a melting pot of all different nationalities, it's really up to the player and their history to choose who they represent at international level The one that bothers me slightly, due to my slight ignorance, is Jason Cummings playing for both Scotland and Australia I'm aware you can represent a country in a friendly then appear for another. Though I always saw it is a final choice type thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are really over complicating this and I have no idea why. We stood by and let him play for Ireland at school boy level and then thought we could come in and he’d happily switch allegiance to us. Fair play to him for sticking with the country that wanted him more instead of doing what the likes of Grealish and Rice did and ditched Ireland as soon as England showed a bit of interest. I can't recall him saying he was a Scotland fan and gutted they didn't select him. Plenty of people in the west support Ireland and have zero interest in Scotland. That's their call but don't expect the players in question to be as forthright 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that in the post match interview? You’d hope that means they’ve approached someone and feel there’s a good chance of him joining. James McCarthy maybe isn’t such a ridiculous shout as Mathie also said that they were looking at experienced players who aren’t playing with their current clubs. You’d also think that he’s ruined any chance of a move to a Championship team or above in England and probably most League 1 clubs as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually wondering where McCarthy might end up earlier with his injury issues - he might get a chance at a lower end top league team if he isn’t completely done injury wise. Watching our highlights there, and they certainly don’t show up the Bryden cameo favourably! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he said we'll need to sign at least 1 but ideally 2 midfielders, club hadn't prepared to sign anymore CM's so sounded as if we're starting from scratch in terms of scouting for ones and who's out there/available. Said about how we need one asap due to the scenario of losing one of Smith or Pendlebury leaves us with 1 x CM Edited August 20, 2023 by Rb123 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking midfielder so would most likely play infront of Smith and Pendlebury, and he was quite good at a poor Hamilton side last season. Think it was reported that Dunfermline and Inverness were also interested in him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had someone like that since Stephen Kelly left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalmers showed in his 25 minute spell why we were all desperate to get him back, such a classy football player. A joy to watch. Rose was sadly anonymous. Didn't get any change out the livi Centre halves. Striker still remains a bit of a worry . Once Murphy is back it will be interesting to see how we fit him, McGeady, Chalmers and Amartey into the same team. I'd guess it will be a 4-2-3-1 with Chalmers, McGeady and Murphy behind Amartey/Rose. Edited August 20, 2023 by ayrunitedfw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t imagine it’ll be too often we have them all fit at the same time, but if Rose struggles (and it’s far too early to tell if that will be the case) then we could potentially play Murphy in the withdrawn striker style role that Moff played for us with Forrest, McCowan and Kelly in behind him. I know Chalmers is good btw, but taking up two positions behind the striker! It’s a mouthwatering prospect though with the three/four of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyAyrfaninTarbolton Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Some up that game ... Terrible defending/goalkeeping for the 2 goals .. McGeady and Chalmers look absolute class....we need a striker to step up..... Brydens finishing has to be better.. Played some decent stuff. Get behind the team and stay off their backs and we will be fine ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
