Chrstie is a huge part of this team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes isn't the point of a football forum is to respond to posts, that's pretty self-explanatory. Most of the posts are aimed at myself also so I am responding to these. You really are a moron aren't you... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time we are expected to be without the ball for a time he is a huge influence on how we play due to his pressing ability Georgia away was an experimental line up with a back four which left room for an extra player further forward. Fair enough he was preferred to Gilmour in the other three, which were largely early season when Gilmour was in and out of the Brighton side. It's maybe more a coin flip between the two of them than I thought though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there was some chat about Rodgers looking to take him to Leicester when he left Celtic for them. I guess when you are captaining the club you've played for your whole career, lifting a treble just about every season while taking home ~£25k a week (guesstimate) and don't need to move away from family or friends then I can see why he's quite happy to hang around at Celtic. Yeah I remember the Leicester links as well. Its a a short career tho, if you can double that wage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donno man, I mean anyone offers any kind of constructive criticism they get constantly "i agree with Steve clarke and whatever he says or does" Its like a cult and makes these pages pretty dull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a valid point regarding actual constructive criticism. Saying that Callum McGregor should be dropped because he plays for Celtic, or losing the heid because some EFL Championship jobber who’s had a good 5 games in a row hasn’t gotten a call up isn’t constructive criticism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very individual interpretation of what has been said. The poster hasn't really offered constructive criticism and hasn't engaged well or in good faith with any others. Most folk have stated, with reasons, why McGregor is important, that Ferguson and he aren't comparable and that McGregor's current performances in a Scotland jersey don't merit consideration in dropping him. The OP, rather than engaging with this in a thoughtful way has responded with a lot of abusive ad hominem and "pish". There have been a couple of posts which can be interpreted as blind faith in Clarke, but he's earned a lot of credit and I think it's curmudgeonly to view overall satisfaction and deserved faith as cult-like. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might need your eyes tested mate. I've never said McGregor needs dropped. Only his place might be under threat after the euros. As for championship jobber, I genuinely have no idea what your on about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think were all posting our individual interpretations, unless your posting on behalf of a collective Your only looking at it from one side. Look at @eez-eheez-eh's post above. Hes just invented two perspectives from me out of thin air? In general people need to chill out, its not a slight on Steve Clarke discussing the Scotland team and players on the Scotland pages.

Seriously, are you for real? I've been very engaging until people are calling me out for having an agenda, part of the ferguson family, being a moron, being a troll etc etc. All i've done is questioned Mcgregors role in the starting 11 as I believe we have a better player waiting to take his place now which has not been the case for a long time until this season. Hardly revolutionary! Somebody saying that Mcgregor is the most irreplaceable player in the Scotland is just bollocks or pish in my words. You're the biggest trol on here. Constructive feedback regarding Mcgregor is below... He is not a CDM, lacks pace, his passing isn't outrageous for example. I agree to an extent in that McGregor sort of brings out more of a balance to the team but he is more of a deep lying 'quarterback' type of CM, tidy in possession and is a hard worker and gets round the pitch well enough. I actually think Christie in his position at Bournemouth now can replicate this even better although his passing isn't as good as McGregor but he can cover the ground well, fly into tackles as he is quite robust and is decent going forward and then have Gilmour playing the McGegor role, taking the ball off the defence, starting the attacking play, pinging balls out to the full backs etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually really perplexed at the attitudes people are taking on here, it really ain't that deep but definitely struck a nerve. It's all very deranged and kind of wished I hadn't of said anything now but i actually thought posters would of replied with sensible posts rather than getting quite aggressive. We are all Scotland fans after all and I will be at the Euros taking in a few games and want Mcgregor to perform as much as anyone else if he is playing which I fully expect he will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
