Can only hope we have another keeper playing regular first team football at a decent level before then, or we will probably be starting the World Cup 2026 campaign with Zander Clarke or Liam Kelly as number one. I don’t think we can work on the basis that Gordon will keep at it for that long. There are very few keepers that can, and those who do normally decline pretty dramatically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 MacGillivray was first choice for Charlton Athletic all season in league one. Surely he would be a decent choice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Fair fucks to Marshall for thinking he should step aside. There must've been a fair possibility just by hanging around he could have scraped another 3 caps together to reach 50. The fact he got 47 caps when he was initially easily the 3rd choice behind Gordon and McGregor is in itself remarkable. What's next? Fcuk kens! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've definitely been blessed to have had three good keepers in recent years. I think Marshall was generally the lesser of the three, but the other two never gave us a moment like Marshall did in Belgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Honestly feels like Marshall has spat in my face, knowing that Zander Clarke has moved another place up the pecking order. Sickening. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and even the likes of Neil Alexander and Matt Gilks were solid enough and were unfortunate to be playing at the same time as Gordon, McGregor and Marshall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 As a pure keeper, Gordon was the best of the three imo. His performances in the home and away double over France were incredible. It’s a shame he spent much of the next decade injured after that. McGregor maybe had the best club career but his Scotland career was often tainted by the Cameron house incident and then he retired early on in the Clarke era. Marshall was for me the poorest keeper of the three, but still had a fantastic international career and gave us a moment none of us will ever forget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I've nothing against people playing for Scotland who were born elsewhere, but I think you need to consider yourself a Scot, even if you also consider yourself English, Australian, etc. It shouldn't be like signing for a club. It would be deeply depressing if Angus Gunn finally realised he'd never play for England and reluctantly agreed to play for us just to get some international football under his belt. We could look on the bright side; competition for the imminent vacancy in goal could cause our available keepers to up their game. With Gordon, Marshall, and McGregor about, the rest knew they'd no chance of even getting a cap. There's no stellar candidates, but they might do better than we're assuming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did McGregor not chuck it during McLeish II rather than after Clarke came in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was soon after the Israel Nations League game at Hampden. He spat the dummy because the SFA rejected his appeal against a red card in a game against Aberdeen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Ciaran Slicker plays for the u21s. Did you mean someone else? Unfortunately, he doesn’t look like making it at City (who does?) Are there any young lads in the Championship or League One? I’m always conscious that keepers mature late, and academy keepers rarely make the first team as there’s not often space.We have Jamie Smith who's been in Scotland youth squads (maybe u19 or u17) but he's not been able to get going on loan due to covering as backup for injured keepers. He made his one and only pro appearance after we'd already been relegated - poor at the two goals but saved a penalty so an eventful debut.There's the guy at Queen of the South who I've seen folk praise. He might have just had an off day against Accies but it was a really shit goalkeeping performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 18 hours ago, Clown Job said: Sad to see him go, but it is a bit strange to retire during an international break is it not? Wouldn’t be surprised if he makes himself available in case of an emergency since he’s a top guy It is strange, but I guess he knows he won’t be adding to his caps during this break and we already have 2 backups to Gordon anyway. Always a shame for a player not to reach 50 caps when they’re so close (McFadden ending on 48 springs to mind) but Marshall has been a very good servant to Scotland nonetheless, and the night in Serbia won’t be forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only hope he is only there to be a glorified ballboy at training. Seems odd having 4 keepers in the squad when we seem very reluctant to play anyone other than Gordon, no matter the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
