kev23 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 No shock that some have pulled out. If it is with a genuine injury fair enough. I'd imagine some have taken the huff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenConvert Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Nothing to do we Delia wanting them back.Of course he'll want them back. Celtic pay their wages and they're important players for him. He doesn't want them injured in a meaningless game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The Thumb and Rhodes have both thrown a strop and pulled out of the squad alongside the injured Morrison and McArthur and the hopeless Mulgrew. That's a bit silly of them. Both would probably have got a game and a chance of goals. And a wee bit of time in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pissing down at the moment and is forecast to be doing so tomorrow too. No chance of catching the rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Can't really blame them for bailing. Never got a look in for the important games so sack risking an injury in the ultimate non-event of a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the other players don't have clubs who pay their wages and would be absoutely fucking delighted for them to pick up an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Don't think their team mates will be particularly impressed with them bailing on them. Fans have also paid hundreds to go to this meaningless game so the least they can do is turn up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Sportello Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Rhodes and the thumb can go do one. What a a disgraceful attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Morrison, he's been with the squad all week despite it being obvious he wasn't going to be fit for the games. He could have gone back to his club, but presumably chose not to.

What's clearly going to happen is Shinnie will start against Gibraltar, get crippled and this will be one of the worst 3 weeks in football for me since Skovdahl.

Gordopolis Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 There's been no suggestion of injury AFAIK. I'm guessing the withdrawals are a result of some discussion between WGS and the squad. i.e. he's said: "here's the team I'm playing. x, y and z you're not getting any game time so you can go back to your club if you want - no problem with that." Still, I wouldn't expect Rhodes and Griffiths to be amongst the x, y and z. Despite this being a meaningless game, their absence is quite disappointing as it was one of the things that could have brightened up the game. Playing Fletcher and/or Naismith vs Gibraltar will tell us nothing. I hope we'll try Martin and Johnny Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Anyone else reading between the lines here? I wonder if Strachan has already told the players he is going. Might be totally wrong, but it feels like it's building towards a low key game then an announcement on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I've been for Steven Fletcher starting for us this campaign I agree that I'd like to see what else we've got on offer. Yes a game against Gibraltar tells us pretty much nothing but it's still good seeing other players being given a chance. I just hope to God we don't only play with the one CB again...

Scary Bear Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It is pissing down at the moment and is forecast to be doing so tomorrow too. No chance of catching the rays. 23 degrees though. Hot rain. I thought the forecast was sunshine and showers. It'll feel just like home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon in for Marshall between the sticks Newsflash: Griffiths and Rhodes have given Strachan a shoeing and stormed out of the camp, spitting on the Saltire on the way out and Thumb having a sh*te on McGhee's car.

Gordopolis Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I would assume Rhodes and griffiths will be fully fit for their next club games The announcement said nothing about an injury. Either: a) they went against the manager's wishes, possibly sh*teing on cars etc OR b) WGS has let the guys whom he never had any intention of playing...go.
