Saturday's Kid Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Make it simple. If you are born in the country then you can play. None of this eligibility cause your granny was born there. I would go as far a eligibility for players whose parents (both) were born in that country. For example you can hardly say a child isn't Bosnian because both parents had to flee a warzone. We need players who want to play for Scotland in first instance, rather than taking players who chose to play for Scotland because they knew that they would never get a game for their home country. Neither Neil Simpson or Neale Cooper could have played for Scotland in that case. Link to comment

Poodler Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 They also seem to have misplaced Jack Grimmer Link to comment
BWG Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 They also seem to have misplaced Jack Grimmer I thought he was actually getting games there? Or has the English managerial merry-go-round brought in someone that has decided the best thing for his development is a loan to Bristol Rovers? Link to comment

The simplest thing is this: when you sign your s-forms or whatever aged 16, you state your nationality. Nationality criteria should also apply to the manager, IMO. Link to comment
1903Fitba Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My pal was born in Wales. Has an Italian mother and Russian father. He said if he was good enough he'd chose to play for Scotland as he's lived there the longest and feels most at home Link to comment
Mr John Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Any money Shinnie picks up an injury and then everyone will be absolutely seething over it! First thing I thought. He wasn't himself at the weekend after going off injured at Hibs. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I would play a Derek McInnes winning system. Fuck, with Scotland being shite I wonder if the SFA could come calling... ?

Kind of throws into touch the idea of "giving it all for your country". Link to comment
Mr John Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Meh, I think the football authorities try and keep up with the times in terms of nationalities - so much can change in someone's life that affects their sense of national identity. It's not as cut and dry as it used to be. Link to comment
