We will agree to disagree but Scotland don't miss McCathy. As for Coyne and Coyle I'm litterly still pissing myself Literally all of this is nonsense. McCarthy would stroll into our team. We don't have better midfielders. McArthur is not better and not a defensive midfielder Billy Gilmour will never play box to box lol Literally every word of that is the opposite of reality.

McGeady and McCarthy we missed out on and very sore ones imo, McCarthy would be first choice right now we don't have a midfielder like that and he's quality, but the others just wurnae good enough for Scotland believe it or not. We had much better players. Ray Houghton wasn't good enough for Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for fucking Oxford at the time, hardly the dominant side in British football. Even when he went to Liverpool we still had better players in his position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ray Houghton wasn't good enough for Scotland?In fairness to fuzzy, he was playing for Oxford at time and we had much better options. He then took the hump and was capped for Ireland. Undoubtedly few years later he would have made team but was already playing for Ireland. The Castlemilk native's decision to play for Ireland has enabled him to have some great moments in Euro 88 (winner against England, and 94:WC, (winner against Italy) also a WC QF in 1990. It's also enabled him to have a good pundit career in RTE too.In hindsight he's probably very happy that he wasn't good enough for Scotland at start of career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) On 22/09/2020 at 16:58, John Lambies Doos said: Tommy Coyne and Owen Coyle . They would have got nowhere near a Scotland team in early 90s Coyne was the top scorer in the country with three different clubs (Dundee, Celtic, Motherwell). Coyne was a far better player than John McGinlay, Duncan Shearer, Scott Booth and Eoin Jess who were all capped around the time he was top scorer. Brown and Roxburgh's loyalty to a lot of pish Aberdeen players was mystifying. The three above plus Brian Irvine and McKimmie and later Leighton when he was chosen in 98 over Goram.

Brown and Roxburgh's loyalty to a lot of pish Aberdeen players was mystifying. The three above plus Brian Irvine and McKimmie and later Leighton when he was chosen in 98 over Goram.Goram pulled out of the 98 WC squad. That's the only reason Leighton played all three games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Booth and Jess were miles better than Coyle, that's laughable. The other two debatable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
