eez-eh Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I guess it’s that time of year for the board to be spammed with dozens of players who may or may not be eligible. I wonder how Maxwell Blackpool is getting on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would he have played for us? We don’t call up players on citizenship because of the, you know, well known agreement between the home nations. Stop posting utter pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are EPL players at Palace Forrest Bournemouth Sheff United daft agreements with rest UK needs to go in the bin and have it like the rugby we could have some team if we used same rules I'm sure quite a few would fancy it playing for European teams obviously wouldn't just be us after them Wales and NI would to but right now we are the team doing well and would probably have the jump over them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The narrative also shifted pretty massively from Gunn understandably not fancying coming in as understudy to Gordon for the Euros to pretty much undisputed number 1 due to Gordon's horror injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd agree with any of these guys if it was the detriment of a player who'd done some 'hard miles' previously through that campaign. I actually grudgingly respect Anderson for it. He joined the squad at a point where he would have been nailed on for a place in the 26 man finals pool and playing at a major finals and decided without fucking Scotland about to any massive or detrimental degree that it wasn't for him and instead backed himself to make it with England where he'll have no chance of making the 2024 Euros squad and probably a fleeting chance at best of making finals squads for 2026 onwards. Respect to anyone who will back themselves in that manner. It's our and his loss in the short term but who is anyone to tell him at this point he'll never make it for the nation of his birth? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's residency (X years in England) that makes it okay for England to have selected from this pool thus far? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im all for selecting the best team we can. But people with a Scottish granny id imagine would have a case to feel more Scottish than someone who's possibly never even been here getting in on a loophole. But the guys just posting his opinions on football, and im all for outside the box thinking. Perhaps one post listing the players rather than a separate one for each player would have been an easier read. But the people ganging up on him should maybe have a think around what kind of person they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
