Gordopolis Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The Scottish centre half playing at the highest level is Grant Hanley Surely a recall for the next squad Yeah I did a double take when I saw that he'd started and scored* Vs Liverpool last night.If he continues to get a game at Norwich then it would be silly not to utilise him. He has the experience and is still in his 20s.IMO when he was jettisoned a few years ago he was just the latest scapegoat. Same thing happened to Berra a few years before that when he went from first pick to being a fringe player and was in and out of squads. He too came back and proved he was actually pretty decent.*Own goal, obvs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 He just isn’t very good that’s a major stumbling block If he was an absolute haddie he would have been dumped by Norwich. He's flawed, but so is every Scottish CB at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumjob Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Is thus a gilten age for Scottish centre backs? McKenna Devlin Lindsay Bates Cooper Souttar Kerr Hendry Findlay Porteous (in the future) Morrison (in the future) Halkett Hanley A'd be happy wit any of them but Lindsay and Kerr would be ma pair. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying on the telly he's 3rd/4th choice CB for Norwich now. They had two injuries to other CB's so Hanley got put in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Signs for a mediocre English Championship side to play alongside such luminaries as Liam Palmer. Fair play to him. Looking forward to Bates signing for Hibs in 18 months time.The circle of life for a young Scottish prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 There's no reason we shouldn't be qualifying for our own home tournament 6 premier league players Inc one at Liverpool arsenal and man u The Celtic contingent And a whole bunch at upper half championship sides Miles better than Ireland or northern ireland have had when qualifyingSo 2 left backs at Liverpool and Arsenal, a defensive midfielder at Man U, the guys at Celtic who have been papped out in the Champs League qualifiers again, and a whole bunch of Championship jobbers.It’s an absolute mystery why we never qualify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argument? There’s no argument to have. If they were good enough to qualify they would. They don’t qualify. The question of which of our rotten centre backs to play together is a key point on why we never qualify. That and the similar question around which sub-standard forward to play. That said, I’ll be at Hampden for the Belgium game, to see whichever players have made it through the Russia game unscathed. Scotland...Scotland...Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Albania centre back partnership at Euro 2016 were picked from Torino and Koln. Their striker was playing for Vaduz. You listed the levels our squad play at and then sarcastically said it was a mystery as to why we hadn't qualified. I'm just pointing out that our players are playing at a higher level and have better ability than teams who are qualifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't qualify for a number of reasons, IMO. One being we've had gaffers and players who are weak mentally and cracked in the important games. I don't for one second think that our squad isn't good enough to qualify. Yes, through the Nations League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, through the Nations League. I suppose it is. The proof that our squad isn’t good enough to qualify will come when we don’t qualify. Which gaffers were mentally weak? Just because, for instance, John McGinn is playing in the Premiership doesn’t mean he’s a much better player than he was when we played Kazakhstan. Bringing it back to this thread, I feel that our weakness at centre back for umpteen years hasn’t helped our qualification chances. Not sure if they are mentally weak, but they don’t seem particularly good at playing at international level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
