itzdrk Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 46 minutes ago, craigkillie said: The vast majority of players in the squad are Premiership players or guys who are based in England, none of whom have competitive games. Two of the Ayr United players involved are on loan from top flight clubs too, and one of them only joined the club less than five weeks ago, which was probably after the fixture was scheduled. It's ludicrous to suggest that the SFA should not organise any U21 (or other youth team) fixtures during the international breaks, just in case the squad contains a handful of lower league players from the same club and a single match has to be postponed. We are extremely lucky that three were picked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Andy Robertson moved from the 3rd Division to the Premiership in July 2013, made his U21 debut in October 2013 and then made his senior debut in March 2014. I'm not sure how many U21 caps you would have expected him to get in that period. Scott Gemmill played a different position to Alex McLeish.Not to mention James McCarthy has barely played 20 games in 3 years so I’m not sure how much use he’d be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 We are extremely lucky that three were picked. I’m baffled that Daniel Harvie got a call up. I like the guy and think he’ll do well but he’s been rancid for a couple of months now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardo Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Finn Ecrepont called up for under 17’s as well for Euros. Amazing to think Ayr United have 4 players in Scotland set up . Great for the club . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It's an international weekend. Just about every team in Europe will have a game or two i'd guess. I'm all for slating the SFA but to it in this instance is laughable. I was right up for this game as had a whole big day out planned with family plus friends down from Greenock, but i'm choosing to be happy that 3 of our players are included than go off on an OF like rant about how meaningless international fitba is. Re: Harvie - he's been in the u19/20/21 squad for a couple of years now I think so they obviously rate him within the system. There's every chance they've not actually seen him play much in the last couple of months haha! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shite the game isn't a Saturday but missing Doohan and Miller would have been far from ideal also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Miller we could’ve stumbled through with Cadden or McDaid but I wouldn’t want Hare-Reid thrown in at this stage of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 This is a prime example of why there shouldn't be replays so late on in the Scottish cup.FA cup have changed the rules in the last year so quarter finals go straight to extra time, need to do the same up here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The curse of being so #bigtime Wonder if it'll affect POTY, supposed to be after the Ross County game on the Saturday which has been moved, plus Partick game still needs rescheduled to a Tuesday night which we are fast running out of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
