Blootoon87 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Scotland have still not lost a match in which Gordon Greer has played. Going by that logic, a team of Gordon Greer's would probably win us the World Cup. Aye he's been solid for us. Shame he's nearly at the end of his career though.

The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Anya is right footed and plays right back. He won't for us though. He played left back for Watford yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 He played left back for Watford yesterday. Whenever I've seen him getting forward on match of the day it's always on the left hand side so assume he's been there most of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Played 3 games for them and they have won all 3. Great talent. Anychance of him playing right back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabinho Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'll be surprised if Greer gets another Championship club after being released so it could well be the end of his international career. I had hopes for Liam Cooper but I'm guessing Strachan can't have been impressed since he was one of the only ones to not get game time in the last two friendlies.

troopio Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Gordon Greer being released will not put the Clown Strachan off in fact its only more likely to endear him to the Manager, I mean this is the same guy and dare we say it country who stuck by rubbish like Hutton when he wasn't anywhere near a game so a small matter of being released by a championship team at the young age of 35 is not likely to put Strachan off not a chance......Not only will he start at least one of the next 2 friendlies he will likely start the next campaign in the squad as an unattached player alongside love child Mulgrew who will no doubt be playing for someone like Birmingham......... On Mulgrew, tbh I have always rated him but his injuries are catching up with him now though and what I always do find ironic as well is fact Strachan loves him so much yet he was one who punted him from celtic all those years ago!

The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Greer should sign for the Hibees, it'll keep him in the international team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 From the very limited stuff I've seen of him this season, and what I've heard, Martin hasn't exactly been having a great time of it the last year. He's always been relatively decent for us, but I agree, we're weakest where 10 years ago it might have been where we were best. Obviously we were pish throughout the squad 10 years ago whereas now we have some depth elsewhere in the team, but our centre backs were hardly solid then. If you look at the 2006 qualifying campaign, the most frequent starter at centre back was Andy Webster, with even the perma-diddy that was Steven Caldwell getting a start: Andy Webster x8 David Weir x7 Steven Pressley x6 Malky Mackay x 1 Russell Anderson x1 Steven Caldwell x1 (plus one sub appearance) Gary Caldwell also played six times, but it was three at right back and three in midfield. Martin & Hanley aren't great, but they're comfortably better than everyone on that list other than Davie Weir. Even looking at the 2008 campaign where we were a better side, Stephen McManus was the only addition to that group of players, with Pressley still getting starts.

Savage Henry Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Folk seem to forget how bad we were ten years ago, Michael Stewart, Barry Nicholson and Richard Hughes were making squads. Richard Hughes has no part in that list. Decent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Folk seem to forget how bad we were ten years ago, Michael Stewart, Barry Nicholson and Richard Hughes were making squads. Ian Murray and Gary Holt got starts in that 2006 campaign too, with Lee Miller making a sub appearance. Huge talents such as Ryan Esson, Scott Severin and Stevie Crawford also featured in matchday squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Should be trying to get Caulker again. If Caulker can't get anywhere near this current England squad with the shite they have in defence..... Hardly kicked a ball for Liverpool too. Maybe for him it's England or nothing, which is fair enough because I'd be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Paul Hanlon being linked with Aberdeen. Bit of a shame it's taken him this long to kick on but I can see him being a late developer in international terms, possibly getting called up this campaign or next depending on how he does at the Dons.

woof! Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Paul Hanlon being linked with Aberdeen. Bit of a shame it's taken him this long to kick on but I can see him being a late developer in international terms, possibly getting called up this campaign or next depending on how he does at the Dons. I wasn't overly impressed when he played in the u21s, but he's looked pretty good this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hanlon's had an excellent season and is the best centre back in the Championship by a mile, but as with the McKay discussion you have to remember it's the Championship. Being one of the best players in the second tier doesn't mean you should be ahead of bog-standard Premiership players. Paul Hanlon has done nothing in his career to prove he's better than a decent top flight defender like Mark Reynolds, Barrie McKay has done nothing in his career to prove he's better than a decent top flight midfielder like Jamie Walker. You'd be laughed at for clamouring for Reynolds or Walker to get a call up, and the notion of Hanlon or McKay being ready to play for Scotland is more ridiculous.

Peppino Impastato Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 You think a lot of things, Fuzzy. And I'm usually right. In five years when they're Scotland's first choice two remember I told you they would be. Harry will play in the EPL, John will go to the Old Firm probably Rangers.
