Virgin Don Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 No he's not. U-21 caps don;t prevent full caps for another country. Brian Howard is Ineligable. He played in U20s Toulin tournament which is FIFA recognised tournament. He hasnt given up hope of playing for Scotland and is looking at any sort of loophole. David Weir was rested thats why he not in squad what a farce he should have retired by now. Link to comment
Guest LondonScottish Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Barry Nich needs to be getting in that squad, also I think Lee Miller would do well at international level. Nice one!!! Link to comment
Maryhill Mo Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'd have Naysmith ahead of McEvely any day; he has looked the weakest link in the Derby defence on numerous occasions I've seen him, which says a lot. Give it til next season before Kirk Broadfoot is in there... Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Berra any better choice than Diamond ? Why is David Marshall in the team ? Graham Alexander too should be nowhere near the side Dailly is past his sell by date as well apart from that though ... can't se who has been left out might merit a call up agreed. Diamond should be in ahead of Berra due to his European experience this season. at least thats what the press said when pressley was picked ahead of anderson. David Marshall - still living off that game in Barca. seriously though its like sacotland managers are afraid to drop someone. Alexander - gettin too old but he always seems to put in a good shift for us. Dailly = ***. Link to comment
sheep_shagger Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Surely Murphy playing week in week out in the premiership at left back cant be far away from a call up, McNaughton is another one but think he was out injured at least at the weekend there. Link to comment
davieb Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 god i hope so. he will be way too old by the time the world cup comes along and i always think Cueller is carying him Kenny Miller = rich Darren Mackie. FFS he was too old before our last qualifying campaign began, f@cking useless. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 FFS he was too old before our last qualifying campaign began, f@cking useless. agree. but unfortunately scotland managers dont. Link to comment
uni_don Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Surely Murphy playing week in week out in the premiership at left back cant be far away from a call up,Second time I've done this in this thread... he's English. Link to comment
fatshaft Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Brian Howardapologies, hadn't seen that Link to comment
fatshaft Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 From the squad, I'd start with: Craig Gordon (Sunderland) Russell Anderson (Sunderland) Alan Hutton (Tottenham Hotspur) James McEveley (Derby County) Stephen McManus (Celtic) Scott Brown (Celtic) Barry Ferguson (Rangers) Darren Fletcher (Manchester United) Lee McCulloch (Rangers) James McFadden (Birmingham City) Garry O Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Second time I've done this in this thread... he's English. A great pity that, he's miles ahead of Naysmith & McEveley. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ferguson, Mcculloch and Dailly have all with drawn form the squad Link to comment
Dynamo Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ferguson, Mcculloch and Dailly have all with drawn form the squad Shock. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Shock. yup. like we didnt expect it. have to say i dont agree with this pulling out when it suits themselves but i also think this was a stupid time to arrange a friendly against a side that nobody really cares about. friendlies in general are just stupid.

K-9 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 And bet Burley doesn't have the balls to invoke the rule that they do not play at the weekend!! Link to comment
K-9 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Aren't rangers playing Partick again soon, though? Or is that a fair distance away?Think they play their quarter replay day AFTER our semi final now Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 And bet Burley doesn't have the balls to invoke the rule that they do not play at the weekend!! to be fair to burley he is in a now in situation. if he did the above he would be slaughtered by the weegie media and there pals at the SFA. Rangers know Burley wont invoke anything and thats why they always have these mysterious injuries appearing. i remember Hutton and Brown were injured for the Georgia game (a competetive game too) but were giving it their all for the OF game 3 days later.

moat pervert Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 yup. like we didnt expect it. have to say i dont agree with this pulling out when it suits themselves but i also think this was a stupid time to arrange a friendly against a side that nobody really cares about. friendlies in general are just stupid. Scotland have no choice on friendly dates, which are set by FIFA: http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/documentlibrary/calendars.html Count how many friendly dates are available before the Macedonia qualifier. Burley needs to get as much "game time" under his belt as he can before the real stuff begins, which IMO means it was essential we booked something up for Wednesday - and Croatia are as strong a side as we could have expected.

Virgin Don Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I would expect the Celtic conection to do the same soon as well. Having a hun as head of Sfa was always going to lead to this sort of thing. Before Dailly joined Sc um he would never have pulled out of a Scotland squad. Link to comment
K-9 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Burley must either come out publicly and say he is letting Rangers withdraw players from teh squad or has to invoke this clause, since his job is soley to do best job possible for Scotland and not for the old firm!! Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Burley must either come out publicly and say he is letting Rangers withdraw players from teh squad or has to invoke this clause, since his job is soley to do best job possible for Scotland and not for the old firm!! again i agree but we both know that the SFA dont even look at it this way. our game will always be dictated by the old firm unless someone at the SFA says enough is enough we dont need these ***** Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 i see Dailly has a broken toe but according to sky sports he will be fit for the OF game on Saturday. he must have employed Marvin Andrews the miracle healer Macgregor has now pulled out of the team too. Link to comment
Bamber Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Surely now with all these playes withdrawing from the squad, rangers could nopw pay one of the fixture pile up games they keep moaning about after all if it hadnt been an international date they would have had to play this week injuries or not? Going back to the cup game they are missing SFA ave bent over backwards and sh1t canned their own rule for rangers by playing it the weekend of the cup game as the cup rules state that the cup has priority over the league hence there are THREE dates to play the replay Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 frigg the huns, they've proved consistently over the years that they can't be relied on... Anyword on replacements being drafted in? Link to comment

paulkaneatemyhamster Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Anyword on the replacements being drafted in? now that would be awesome Link to comment
archiemacdougal Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ferguson, Mcculloch and Dailly have all with drawn form the squad I have no problem with Christian Dailly not being able to play for Scotland whatsoever. Link to comment
1903don Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Barry Ferguson, Alan Magregor, Christian Daily and Lee McCulloch should never be allowed to play for Scotland again after pulling out of the squad! Link to comment
