The manager who has brought us closer to qualifying for a major tournament than we have been for yonks has "lost the plot", because he's selected a goalminder whose skills you have doubts over, to add to the squad ?

I'm not too sure that it's the manager who has "lost the plot".

He has lost the plot if he thinks Samson should be anywhere near a squad.

I can only assume you have never seen Samson play, the same as I can only assume Strachan hasn't either.

Utter donkey.

Even worse than Michael Watt?????

Watt only played a handful of games if I remember right, definitely less than 10... We've suffered Samson for 2 seasons of first choice selection, he's beyond dire :(

If that's true, it really shows how desperately short we are of decent back up goalkeepers if Samson is the "best" we can call up rather than the manager "losing the plot".

Just recall you signed him on the Friday night to play against us the next morning and he lived up to his reputation.........

Probably a case that every available Scottish keeper is away on holiday just now and Samson was the only one kicking around to meet up with the squad this week (like the Dundee boy, at best he was maybe only going to see 45 minutes of action v Qatar).

Folk are getting a bit precious out me saying he's lost the plot.

It's a figure of speech. Had I said Strachan was off his head, would have taken that literally too and assumed I meant he was on teh Bentekes?

Come on though it is a massive over-reaction for a player who will not even figure in any case is it not?

As said previously, probably every other keeper available is away on holiday (Gilks is usually Strachans go to guy when it comes to 3rd choice keeper).

Would have been a good opportunity to try someone like Jordan Archer, as he was alright for the U21's and looks like he will be Spurs 2nd/3rd/League Cup keeper for next season (if not sent out on loan to the Championship again).

Here are our GK options outwith Marshall, Gordon & McGregor.

Bain - in the squad

Gilks - hardly played this season

Bell - Scottish Championship goalkeeper

Langfield - lost his place in the Dons team

Fox - in and out the Partick team

Archer - don't know much about him tbh

To summarise, there ain't many options available to us! It's not as if Samson is going to be our no.1 all of a sudden!!
