Owsley Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I've been eager to see Iwelumo called up since he began banging them in for Colchester two seasons ago in the Championship. He has more skill and technical ability that Boyd that's for sure. McCormack should get a chance too but I'd never pick O'Connor again, he doesn't want to travel to places like Ukraine and Macedonia so deliberatley gets suspended or fakes an injury. He's done nothing for years anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 He cant be called uo because well you know...... He doesnt play for Rangers or Celtic or he would be automatically called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Darius Henderson should be in the squad ahead of Iwelumo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 So he got a call up for Norway.... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle4870258.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Sara Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I think Ross McCormack should be called up before Iwelumo Agreed. Iwelumo played at Dens in pre-season and didn't really stand out IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Although McCormack has 7 goals, 4 have been penalties, so his record is not that impressive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohphuq Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Good call up imo, he's definitely on form at club level. Norway have a big physical squad, I'm not saying make the game an aerial battle but a player with his strength is a welcome addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 He wont get on the pitch like Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL @ Celtic Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 He's on SS1 just now, seems like a good guy, and some of the goals he is scoring he looks exactly the type of player Scotland needs. Looks like a Kris Boyd that actually tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching him on Goals on Sunday and they're showing his goals this season - he's fukkin awesome in the air so get him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Reid = God Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 get him in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Just watching him on Goals on Sunday and they're showing his goals this season - he's fukkin awesome in the air so get him in I've said it many times before but I saw him being dominated by a 5'10 left back playing out of position at Barnet. He looks to be in better form but I'd hate to see him turn in another stinker like that while on international duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVELANEY Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I seen him on goals on sunday as well, came across as a really decent guy, looks like with miller out he will def play a part at some point, i'd be genuinely chuffed for him if he got the goal C'MON SCOTLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I seen him on goals on sunday as well, came across as a really decent guy, C'MON SCOTLAND I met him on holiday in May, and played against him in the hotel 11-a-side. Thoroughly decent guy who was just another holidaymaker playing football. No big "I'm a pro footballer" ego at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde til we die Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 It's about time we had a big target man up front, hope he plays like Joe jordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 See the big fella has retired: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29817482 Shame he never managed to make up for that miss. But he's become a bit of a cult figure because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 See the big fella has retired: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29817482 Shame he never managed to make up for that miss. But he's become a bit of a cult figure because of it. Have always felt he was harshly judged on that. The ball hit off him and could have gone anywhere. Still can't believe he missed it mind you.

throbber Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Its a tragedy that he will always be remembered for that miss, it has basically turned him into a laughing stock no matter what he ever does again in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
