Alzay Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 With Danny Swanson in the form of his life with 9 goals from 14 appearances for St Johnstone a team always near the top in recent years, surely its time for GS to start picking these guys. Aberdeen also have a wealth of talent getting ignored as does Hearts, St Johnstone and other top Scottish sides. These guys cant do any worse then the dross playing recently.

Ormond Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 You honestly think a whank like Strachan is going to look at somebody playing for St. Johnstone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfaetheburgh Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Too small to defend the corners, who cares if he scores goals, strachan and all that went before them will never pick a Saints player. But he is some player at the top of his game, but why pick players in form, when you have your favourites playing a few minutes in the 2nd greatest league in the world!

Watched him laze around and not care a jot for Hearts last season. Griffiths and Richie on our set plays please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me. I am a Scotland supporter on a Scotland forum offering my opinion on the national side which I pay to watch and enjoy talking about. My opinions so far have been as follows. Swanson is garbage and overweight. Miller would be worth a call up even just for experience Souttar is ready for the national team. I don't hate Strachan. I don't understand the begging for away end tickets when everyone who wanted one had the opportunity to get one. Tierney is okay - He will get there but has poor stamina and strength and I do not believe he should be a starter. 3rd or 4th choice left back. Griffiths should be starting, play 90 minutes and take every set piece we have. My opinions, you'll have a long hard life my friend if you don't let people express theirs.

Miller is past it and not the way forward Souttar is not ready Who's begging, there wasn't enough to go round. Tierney is more than okay and certainly higher than 3rd or 4th choice Griffith should start but taking everything, not going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pride myself in having no maroon tinted specs - I like Griffiths, think Paterson is bang average, think Miller (who has played for my 3 most hated clubs) is a class act.

I am not saying he should be in the squad but he is playing superb just now, one of the best midfield players in the SPL at the moment, no doubt about it. he does seem to have sorted himself out.

DoonTheSlope Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I wouldn't dismiss the OP Look at the likes of McGinn, McGovern, Magennis and the boy Church who was at Aberdeen. They all went to the Euros, no danger would they ever be anywhere near a Scotland cap if they were Scottish, it's maybe about time WGS or whoever takes over looks at what's right in front of them instead scraping through the lower English leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed John he is certainly a different player who i watched play at Hearts which is more than a bit annoying, he didn't seem interested. There are probably better options at the moment as its one of the positions where we have a bit of strength in depth but if he keeps playing like he is he may well force his way in. 22 hours ago, KennyMiller said: Souttar is ready for the national team.
