That is the high standard we hold our players to!! In his other appearance vs Serbia he was one of our better players that night and never got a sniff again so what chance after 10 min showing and a 'robust' challenge??

Fairbairn Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Andy Halliday's emergence in the holding midfielder role makes it a moot point anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it could be argued that England is his country. A tackle like that one however, in a friendly, shows he's quite likely an utter liability.

You don't think someone with very tenuous link to Scotland actually sees Scotland as his country? As for the latter, you are mental. Someone who risks getting sent off, with a tackle in a needless area of the pitch, in a friendly, is quite clearly not someone who you can trust in a competitive match.

Davied14 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Or you could paint that he was keen to impress in his limited time on the park? He didn't make any challenges like that in the match he started after all. I think he is one of the few options we have as a genuine holding midfielder so I would like him to get a full run out in one of the June games.

He showed some determination to do well and made a bad challenge. He clattered the boy, big deal. Scott Brown in his early days for Scotland did the same thing plenty of times and we didn’t want to oust him. Hanley goes through everyone to get the ball in every game. We need players that are prepared to get hurt in a challenge if we have a late and bad tackle every once in a while who really cares.

northernscum Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Had Kenny McLean been playing last night, and he made the same challenge, would a similar thread be up and running this morning I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a young lad got sent off on his Argentina debut in a friendly against Hungary in 2005, I wonder if some of their supporters tried to brand him a liability and suggested he should never be called up again?

wanderer Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Incident happened right in front of me in the north stand.... at the time, looked slightly unfair on Bridcutt as he was (and did get) aiming for the ball (plus the Danish player did make a bit of a performance of his reaction.... which a number of the Danish players had been doing all night). Watching it now on tv, and agree it is a tad wreakless (but no worse than what we have seen from other Scottish players in the past).... Bridcutt had a so-so game when he came on and did not see enough to make me think he will be back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Should have been sent off, no question, although I think it's down to over exuberance, rather than any genuine malice to hurt anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 He shouldn't, no, but only because (a) he's not Scottish and (b) he's pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you would have a slightly different take (big deal) if the lad had been seriously injured. I do take your point though mate, I've no problem with lads being committed in the tackle either, I just think this one was a bit over the score.

Kenny McLean wouldn't have made that challenge as he's neither a dirty khunt or a complete fvckwit. 5 minutes ago, Angus_Young said: Should have been sent off, no question, although I think it's down to over exuberance, rather than any genuine malice to hurt anyone. I'm sorry but this irritates me. It's irrelevant what his intentions were. He didn't give a toss whether he injured the opponent or not and in doing so he made a disgraceful tackle. Next we'll be getting "he's not that type of player", well aye, he fecking is because he just done that! Not having a go at you personally, it's just that line of defence infuriates me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It was a wild challenge, but I think to never play him again off the back of it is incredibly harsh. it wasn't really a "leg breaker" in terms of being malicious, just a badly timed clumsy dive in. Probably would've been a red in a qualifier though. Should Brown be dropped for being a liability too? He was doing his usual hard man act in the 2nd half, squaring up to one of the Danish players.
