And what sort of message does it send out begging a playing to come play for us when he clearly has no interest?

It's a total embarrassment, but I suppose Levein and Mick Oliver have to do something to justify their wages inbetween games.

If this wasn't craig levein making the decision, and a Scotland manager everyone liked they'd all be saying that fletcher should get to f**k and that it was great management.

The people who say that we can't afford not to have one of our best players available are the same people who moan when we pick English players who are better than our Scottish players.

Not true in the slightest.

I'm firmly in the "if your eligible, give them a game" camp and I couldn't give a shit who the manager is. Ignoring your best players shows poor management skills. Eric Cantona walked out on Manchester United and Alex Ferguson still did what he had to do to get him. Had he been like Levein, he would have lost one of the greatest players to play for Man United.

I thought you were against "English" players playing anyway?

Do you mean after the Kung Fu kick incident?
