Crazy Feet Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 You need to be in the wee clique to get into the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Söze82 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 No, don't think it is. Agree it must be hard for coaches to go see so many games but surely they have to look at teams that r doing well in there league and winning games week in week out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveFitbaw Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Got to take into consideration where games etc are played and when. Most friendlies are midweek at Daizel. It's just not possible for players from a lot of leagues to get there. Maybe they could move about the country and have training sessions etc at weekends to look at a wider pool of players. Can't remember seeing anyone in the squad from Perth, Dundee or Aberdeen regions. Not saying they should but there must be some that are worth looking at.

Oscarthehead Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 I agree mate with cups getting down to the wire, league select,and leagues starting there run in surely if the selectors pick there games they should be able to cover a good selection of team from all leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Kennedy Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 There was only 3 Colville players in the last squad, and 2 in the previous squad. Do me favour and leave Colvile out of it and concentrate on asnwering the question that was asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Hamilton Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 When I was involved with Bruce, I watched over 70 games in one season, as did Bruce and we also had scouts from the other leagues that supported us. Some players didn't want to be considered and there are rules around players who have played senior. It's all about opinions and I'm sure everyone has one. Bruce has done something no other manager did and that was qualify for the tournament stages. It takes a lot of commitment from players, with training and games as well as the annual games in Ireland, and you also need to remember that when the players go to the European tournaments they do not get paid from their work. You'll also find that the inter league tournament was brought in to help the Scotland team also, and they usually play friendliest against league selects. In my time Midland and Dundee selects we're both visitors to colville park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Hamilton Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 They can play in the annual friendlies, not in the tournaments. I think they have to have played amateur for 5 yearsI've been out of it for three years now, I'm sure someone will know the finer details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know Darren miller was involved lately but he hasn't been amateur for 5 years but if it was a friendly then that would explain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
