Lex Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Delighted for Lewis, smashing young lad and a fantastic player. Would have had far more caps than he does had he not chose MLS when he did. Still, I expect he will get minutes at the tournament. Three St Mirren youth products now in the squad, would be great to see them all on the pitch together at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might even ruin my summer. We should probably withdraw from the tournament. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I haven't seen any of him, so don't have a clue if he's a good addition to the squad, but hopefully for him this is the start of a long period in the National team and not just a one off especially as there'll be an element of transition after the Euros and so it's a great time to stand out and get a chance. This is an opportunity for him. Superficially, it looks like Morgan for Doak and Conway for Dykes, that's not necessarily the case. 54 minutes ago, Lex said: Three St Mirren youth products now in the squad, would be great to see them all on the pitch together at the same time. Good to see you don't have any bias in your preferences. Kenny McLean and John McGinn the others I assume. Great service from St Mirren and we thank you for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streets of Raith Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 12 hours ago, Highlandmagar said: A vey lazy retort. Clarke knew full well of Doak's injuries, but still picks him? Made an arse of it. Then Doak withdraws, surprise, it smack of media telling what to do. Surely he could have picked a fit promising youngster instead. Clarke is out of his depth at this level. Its a menuscus injury, which is highly likely to become irritated, swollen and painful when returning to play. Can be fine one day and terrible the next. I have torn a meniscus and my ACL separately - the meniscus was actually worse in a way with sharp ongoing pain in the knee. You can have a tidy up operation but really the best thing for it is rest, especially at a young age it will work itself out. Return to play timeline is always uncertain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Mentioned Morgan on the injuries thread last week, was an obvious addition and as others have said should have been involved long before now despite my obvious bias. Capable of a goal out of literally nothing. Very pleased with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan and McLean joined St Mirren at 16 or 17 and made their professional debuts the next year. They are both Rangers "youth products". -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self-raising Lazarus Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 So are half the posters still panicking we will only have 12 players announced in the squad? Or are we giving Clarke credit for picking a sensible replacement? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do go on and win the Euros, it'll almost be like that time West Ham won the World Cup in 1966. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chripper Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Delighted that Morgan has been called up. He's the only player in the squad who is a natural dribbler and only player who can beat people. Plus, at 27 he's at the prime of his career. Hopefully he makes the final 26. Clarke has to cut 2 players.

Steve Clarke qualified for two tournaments. If you think Steve Clarke is out of your depth then I'd love to hear your opinion on Vogts, Levein, McLeish, Strachan and Burley. Steve Clarke is Scotland's best and most successful manager since Craig Brown. If you disagree? Fine. That's your perogative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Scotch Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 After watching the video, it might explain part of the reason why he hasn't been called up in the past couple of years 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the counter point would be 'what do you do if we lose another ahead of/after the Finland game' but not sure bringing someone in for a few days and then to send them home again makes much sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chripper Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 My initial opinion was I would've called up 35 players in the provisional squad. (Including Gauld, Morgan, Conway, Johnston, Doig, Barron, Danny Armstrong, Miller, Watson) I wouldn't have called up Doak. The point of that is that all of the squad would have a fortnight of training and mingling with the squad. But it wasn't to be. The cut off for the final 26 selection is 11pm on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Quite a lot of seething on social media about Gauld not being called up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
