Hertsscot Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Really!? I'd have said Nicholson was playing far better, Walker's looked injured all season until he finally got the attention he needed! I'd say Paterson will get the call up, possibly Nicholson too. I've always thought Paterson would make a great midfielder, he's got some right foot on him, puts in some evil crosses and gets his heid on everything! am a big fan! was talking to him the other week and he'd be over the fkin moon te get a run out for the first team! Sure he would make a great midfielder but after the auld yins (Hutton, Whittaker, Bardsley) he's about the only right back we've got unless you want to convert Ryan Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wembley1967 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Paterson has abit of potential but still makes a hell of alot of mistakes. Good going forward but suspect defending. Alot of people really dont rate James Forrest but he had the beating of Paterson everytime a few weeks ago. Id probably play him in a friendly to give him a taste but until he moves to a league of a higher standard then I wouldnt be going near him in competitive games. So basically you are saying that no-one in Scotland's top league should play in a competitive game for Scotland. A bit strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Paterson was excellent again on Saturday, Hearts fans should be savouring every game; he won't be at Tynecastle long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Paterson was excellent again on Saturday, Hearts fans should be savouring every game; he won't be at Tynecastle long term. Is he good enough to make the step up to the famous Aberdeen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocky Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is he good enough to make the step up to the famous Aberdeen? was he part of the team that knocked Aberdeen oot the cup? If so , i would say Aye, but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 So basically you are saying that no-one in Scotland's top league should play in a competitive game for Scotland. A bit strange. Why is that a bit strange? Im not saying that there should be a blanket rule but more often than its a sound policy. In general better players play in better leagues. So why not picked the best players? Both the EPL and Championship have a far superior standard of players so the bulk of our team should come from there. Too often a player looks great in Scotland but turns out to not make the mark. Stevie May one of the more recent examples. In the same way a player does nothing down south. Cant get a game then comes up here. Plays for Celtic and looks amazing and all of a sudden they are a player. Commons and Griffiths being classic examples.

And if anyone thinks that English football is of a fantastic level, then they should look no further than the dross that was Liverpool v Man Utd at the weekend. I recently attended Fulham v Reading and was frankly staggered at how poor it was. Far too much is made of the English Championship. Competitive? Sure. Fast paced? Absolutely. Substantially better than the SPL? Not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he went down south he did nothing at Blackburn, Palace and Blackpool. He then went back to Tannadice and showed he was not what he was for whatever reason. Saying that Liverpool and Man United's game on Sunday is somehow the sole measure of English football is bunkum. Some of the best players in the world are in that League, the entire England team plays in that league, and we have a handful playing in that standard. English football is miles ahead of ours; their Championship across the piece is better than the Scottish Premiership. The fact that so many of our internationals and better players from the SPFL can't go beyond that level speaks volumes. The number of players who can step up and play English Premiership from the Scottish Premiership is now negligible. Fact. Our Premiership is littered with Third & Fourth tier English journeymen who can't make it down south but who eke a career out playing in Scotland. Let's not somehow confuse the fact that "how entertaining a game is" somehow the measure of a League's strength and standing. Our European teams' fortunes in recent years suggests that our league is increasingly poor in comparison to other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 All leagues can have poor and boring games. This is a seperare issue from the quality of the players. The fact remains that our best talent struggle to make the step up to other leagues whether that be in England with the Championship or the EPL or an example like Portugal. Gauld was one of our most exciting technical players and by his own admission he is years behind the players in Portugal technically. The Spl has some exciting games but so does the English conference and nobody would suggest we should be picking our international players from there. If any player in Scotland was viewed as being a very good player then he wouldnt be playing in Scotland due to the amount of money foreign teams have.

Notts Bankie Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That would be a much better start to your point if Goodwillie wasn't also rotten in Scotland. I think he would be the last of the "He seems ok in Scotland, he should be ok in England" punts that a decent English club will take on a Scottish player (Look at the Crystal Palace chairman talking about Scottish strikers recently). He wasn't bad at United first time round; telling that they didn't want him after his second trip. I still can't believe he got allowed to take that penalty in Alicante. And the greedy swine should have squared it as well in the last 10 minutes which would have made it 3-2.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
