I'm not barracking him. I like him as a player, and wish he was interested in playing for Scotland, I don't have a personal gripe because he isn't. He's a club over country modern pro, that's all. It's just as weird crossing our fingers and hoping he'll have a change of heart to solve our RB issue, when the evidence suggests he won't. 26 of those 40 club games were played in the four months prior to the November international break. After that, he only played 14 times in 5 months for Celtic. After the Israel game there were only three international squads named. He was called up for the Albania/Israel double header in November and met up with the squad before being ruled out by the Scotland doctors. For the March double-header he flew to Kazakhstan with the squad before being ruled out. For the summer one he wasn't called up because he had surgery scheduled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's the squad he was withdrawn for in October, before playing 90 minutes for Arsenal two days later. He's a guy who has clearly prioritised club fitness over playing for Scotland in his career to date - and that's obviously his prerogative. There's nothing to suggest that this trend will change, and I don't know why you want to suggest that I'm "barracking" the player because I'm pointing this out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy had a mental health issue and was out for a while, but you'd have to be a complete uncaring arsehole to hold that against him. So if he had a physical injury and had been out a while then it would be okay to hold that against someone? Utter shite -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah Cole Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) The plain fact is that Griffiths isn’t good enough to play for Scotland anyone who thinks otherwise is a looney Edited March 1, 2020 by Jeremiah Cole 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin.Hood Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I think that looks decent tbf. Griffiths is in form for Celtic when he can be arsed playing but I’m not sure how committed he’d be to Scotland given we won’t pay him £15k per week.This is ridiculous. Tierney at right back when he still isnt fit and is not playing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I think it's a bit unfair to direct everything at Tierney. IF his drop-outs haven't been 100% genuine, then it's far more likely that his employer are putting pressure on him than it is Tierney just not being arsed. He's clearly had pretty serious injury problems, so it makes sense that Celtic - and now Arsenal - want to protect their investment. And what player is going to go against the wishes of the ones that pay his wages to play for their country these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 f**k Tierney, should be fighting like f**k to play for his country. Something so many of us can only dream of and instead nowadays it's seen as a pesky sideshow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
