kmcca5 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 No Cairney, no Rhoads and No McCormack. Slightly bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryWood34 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Very pleased. Only note I would make is that S Fletcher can do no wrong despite being garbage and that if McGinn was called up then why was Jason Holt not given the call up. Paterson would have been in if not for his arm injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Players who probably should be in; Ross McCormack, Graeme Shinnie, Jordan Rhodes, Tom Cairney... Bazza Douglas. Players lucky to be included; Several! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunty Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Shinnie is a genuine contender for player of the year. Can't fathom any possible reason why he shouidnt have made at least one of the squads. Ross McCormack has 20 goals this season for Fulham. Tony Watt has 7 for Blackburn. Watt gets called up, McCormack doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyGC Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Have had to google some players, which I suppose is not a bad thing, shows Strachan is really looking for talent. Oliver Burke is an interesting one, Wikipedia says he's English and 18 years old. Made a couple of appearances for Scotland U19's and is a winger. It is good that Strachan is trying to integrate these young players early or even giving them an opportunity to show what they can do. Puzzled however to see Rhodes, Shinnie and McCormack haven't been called up, yet a player like James Forrest has been? Must be handing Strachan a brown envelope. Overall however, happy to see that there are some new, young players being given a chance, that's what friendlies should be used for! On a side note, would love to see Strachan experiment with 2 upfront (Griffiths and Fletcher) in the Denmark game, just to see how it works out, however will it happen, probably not.

ErsatzThistle Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Reading comments on twitter make me realise we still have a fecking lot of idiots in the Scotland support. A common example being the logic of dismissing Cooper and Burke because "If I've never heard of them - then they must be pish !" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Strachan is seriously starting to hack me off, I know that we will never agree on the squads he choses but you cannot leave out one of the best players in our league like shinnie Can't wait for the inevitable 3rd or 4th place finish though.

I think its more a case of them getting in before others, probably does the management a favour in that it limits the players who would expect a start....

wanderer Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I suppose if there is a player in the Czech squad who impresses in Prague, but not included in the squad for the Denmark game that there will be the option open for that player to have their stay extended for the Denmark game. At the moment there is a couple of things he can do with the squad for the Czech game, yet the team for the Denmark game from the squad selected almost seems to pick itself.

Starting to think if giving him another campaign of calling up 5-6 boys a time who don't deserve it will cost us dearly again... I hope not .... IN GORD WE TRUST!!!!!!!
