Salvo Montalbano Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Has it ever been announced that Scotland will be playing B internationals? I can't remember the last time I saw any of these. Maybe at Rugby Park against Northern Ireland? Norway at Tynecastle before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Back in the burley era iirc. Not sure they offered much as the guys that showed up well in them never seemed to get promoted to the next 'a' squad. ETA: interesting to see Maloney was in the B side vs Finland 9 years ago (when he would have been 25ish). I thought he was in the full side from his early twenties.

RandomGuy. Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Pretty sure it was Northern Ireland we played, think Griffiths played while at Dundee? Must have been 7 or 8 years ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppino Impastato Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think b internationals or u23 are a great idea we should play as many as possible, there is too big a jump between the 21s and senior side for a lot of players. Many also go a few years without playing any international football after they are too old for the 21s but not yet in the senior squad so b games or u23s would help bridge that gap.

forameus Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The B side would be a good idea if we had a huge pool of players to pick from. And by pool, I mean players who are considered just about good enough for the senior side, but not as good as the A team. I'm not sure we have that, so what's really the point? The only alternative side I could see working would be to do something like some of the South American or African sides do - have a side that features only domestic players to play in what I guess would be B internationals. Only way I would see it being useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 We do have a huge pool, not that that's necessary anyway. It's a good idea for me reasons i listed, a team not doing well at international football should play as much of it as possible, and the more players play at various levels the better for their development.

Wren Road Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 5 B internationals in the last decade. I'm not sure they are actually a good platform for progression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 They're better than nothing, the fact we've only played 5 isn't proof of anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Problem is there's no-one to play... B internationals must be rare as hens teeth now. Burley's game was a farce anyway. Arranged outside an international window, in May, it even ended-up clashing with SPL games. There is a tournament for home-based U23s called the International Challenge Trophy, but SFA have always snubbed it:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Challenge_Trophyhttp://www.futbol24.com/international/International/International-Challenge-Trophy/2016-2017/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
