I'd have taken Griffiths as an option from the bench for the last 20 mins or so if we're chasing, but hey ho. Exciting squad. Hopefully McTominay injury from last night isn't serious. Leigh Griffiths in London for a week. What could have possibly went wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue he has actually been more bold than people expected. Me too, calling up Patterson and Gilmour is pretty bold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything other than highlights videos but his numbers are good and his performances are attracting some of the top clubs in Portugal now. You could easily have dropped Hendry, Taylor or Fleck out that side and taken Gauld, he's more likely to serve us in the future than the other 3 and we have plenty of cover in those positions. Not quite understanding the laughter at Patterson being included, he's better than Palmer and we will be hoping he can play a part in taking us to future tournaments. Bringing guys like him, Turnbull and Gilmour in is to get them into the tournament mentality IMO. A great call from Clarke. Would agree with that if he'd taken another player in as second choice. As it stands if SOD is injured then we've got to throw in a young boy who (as far as I am aware) hasn't played wing back at senior level. If he's not ready we're then stuck with James Forrest who hasn't played much football. I'm also in agreement that technically Patterson is ahead of both SOD and Palmer as a footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's mince (speaking relatively here) I'll be delighted if he's playing instead of Foden, Grealish or Rashford. You're right. Just have the fear about our defence vs them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 happy enough with the squad, would've liked Gauld in there but it is what it is. Can't believe I finally get to see Scotland in a major tournament! Pretty surreal feeling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fraser has played wing back for Clarke too, has he not? Patterson will be used sparingly IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see SOD picking up a knock and Patterson coming in and being a revelation. The kid's going to the top imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I'm inclined to agree, there is a time and place. The world cup qualifiers perhaps. I'd love to be wrong. I saw the imbecile made some comment about Aberdeen players not being good enough. I don't think anyone has claimed they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltire Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I'm really disappointed for Lawrence Shankland. I think he chose poorly going to Dundee United. Had he gone south , I believe he'd have progresed more. Both Neilson and Mellon have squandered a genuine talent. I hope he gets a move soon where he'd be better deployed and get back into future squads. Edited May 19, 2021 by Saltire 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I see Facebook has spoken. They are no happy about the omission of Gauld and Griffiths. Gauld I can understand but Griffiths hasn’t been at it for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 happy enough with the squad, i'd have had Gauld in for Fleck but it's probably as strong as we could put out. Be interesting to see if any of the young lads will get any game time, i'd expect they get a run out in the warmups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he'll have known. He doesn't even look all that shocked in the video, just smiling at seeing his name on the telly. Good squad, I think. I'd have been tempted to take Griffiths. As others have mentioned, he'd be good to have around as something different if we need a goal late in a game. Overall, pretty happy though. Hard to see who stops us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Aye i'm certain they're told in advance, think that video might've just been him seeing his name up there officially for the first time. Isn't there some sort of form that's sent to clubs a couple of days before hand to release them/say they're fit to play? might be wrong there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I would have liked to have saw Considine and Shankland in the squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
