TwoStars Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Gordon and McGregor are a tad strange call ups. Pretty sure it was Strachan who said players had to be playing regularly before the were called up then again Hutton has made the squad as per. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 A handful of decent games for Celtic and mcGregor makes the squad. Typical. 5 Link to comment
RUL Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 To be honest I think he's been better than decent and more than deserves his call up. By all accounts he was decent in whatever league Notts County play in so it's not like he's not played football at senior level before. Link to comment
Localfitbafan Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 No shock about McGregor as he plays for the half of the the 'Old Firm' that is still alive. A lack of forwards so we may be looking at a Craig Levein 4-6-0 formation or worse still, Boyd or Miller called up from a standby list! Link to comment

By all accounts he was decent in whatever league Notts County play in so it's not like he's not played football at senior level before.A season in the English third division, followed by 4 senior games for Celtic. Good luck to the lad though, not his fault. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 GMS would have been worth a call up too. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Funny seeing folk getting annoyed cos Pawlett wasn't called up. Link to comment
TwoStars Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 GMS would have been worth a call up too. The most bizarre miss out has to be Jordan Rhoades. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Funny seeing folk getting annoyed cos Pawlett wasn't called up.It's daft really, as he not worthy of a call up.He's not consistent enough and is too easily marked out of a game. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The most bizarre miss out has to be Jordan Rhoades. Strachan doesn't seem to like him for some reason. Would have thought he'd be worth a shout even to take on with 20 mins to go if we're needing a goal (or 5 in the case v Germany away ) Link to comment

Hewitt a the pies Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Even the final part about refs has it in there Scotland's under-fire referees insist they are not holding a gun to the heads of the SFA and SPFL by demanding a fairer deal for officiating matches. (Daily Record) 2 Link to comment

fifered Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nobody could convince me that Reynolds is not as good if not better than every single defender in that squad. Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I've said n here many times McGhee will see to it that afc representation is negligible, childish I know but that's him for you,Y know Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Until Scotland name a squad that is 100% Aberdeen players, even calling up Niall McGinn, Jonny Hayes and Willo Flood etc, you cunts will continue to piss and moan Also seen a greetin faced Dandy on facebook moaning about English born players being called up then moaning about Pawlett not being the squad in a later status 1 Link to comment

TwoStars Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Strachan doesn't seem to like him for some reason. Would have thought he'd be worth a shout even to take on with 20 mins to go if we're needing a goal (or 5 in the case v Germany away )He scores goals every week. As a striker he can't do much more. It's one of the many reasons why we won't qualify. Personally, I think he'll start with Naismith up front (though we all know it's 460) Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Naismith has been doing alright for Everton in fairness. He's a worth a starting place. Link to comment
