Shandon Par Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 We'd definitely have qualified out of the group stages of Italia 90 if Roddy Grant had been there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Revisionism can't be beaten. I can't help but think that the late Harry Kane goal wouldn't have mattered if Chris Kane had been playing instead of Griffiths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good pedigree and would have been a decent option for the squad. Na he was Finnished. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only one of the players listed by the OP who was unlucky not to get a cap, on the basis that somebody who rocks up to 10 or so squads normally gets a go in a friendly somewhere down the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest? Not for me. Yeah Mackay was widely regarded as the best Scottish right back in the top flight for a good few years, we ended up calling up the likes of Paul Caddis instead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he probably should have got a cap at some point. Especially when you consider that we weren't exactly blessed with talent in the goalkeeping department and were giving the likes of Paul Gallagher caps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Why would a scotland manager call up players who play in the Championship? Just checked and theyve been in the top league for 10 years. Just the sort of club that you arent quite sure what league they play on from season to season, maybe this explains Scoyland managers' reticence to call up Allan Main and Callum Davidson. Either that or they are mediocre. Edited September 27, 2018 by sparky88 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 What an utter roaster, players often go to a bigger club or better league and therefor become better players because of it. Van Dijk became more of a regular in the dutch team/squad after leaving Celtic because he went to an infinitely better league. I can remember some saints fans moaning about Fraser Wright not getting a look in years ago, an absolute carthorse of a player at any level above the Scottish premiership which is why he never went above saints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The real travesty is that St. Johnstone have been conspiring to produce such shite players for such a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or they are mediocre. We finished in the top four about five years in a row, if you weren't sure what league we were in, it says more about you than the club.

Literally nobody ever seriously claimed Frazer Wright should get capped. Again, if you've believed anyone who said that, it probably says more about you than them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Apart from anything else, Frazer Wright was already in his 30s by the time he signed for St Johnstone. We can chalk that one up as another cases of gannonball talking pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've made that up. I can't remember a single St Johnstone supporter tipping Frazer Wright for the Scotland squad. He's a cult hero and much missed, but that's a different issue entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 This thread’s a cracking wind up tbf. Particularly like the cheeky suggestion of Steven ‘Savo’ Milne. Peaso MacDonald also deserves a mention. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Liam Caddis should have been given an international call-up whilst at Saints. Small clubs are treated like absolute shit. I'll be fuming if McLeish decides to call him up now that he's playing for Hurlford United. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
