Ro Sham Bo Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Worth it just to see the toys being thrown out of the pram by Celtic fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Good for him, but I'm still not convinced we necessarily need a big stramash around who the captain is. Granted we don't go through as many ridiculous media cliches as the English seem to in the role, but I'd be far more inclined to just award it to the most fitting person who is going to take to the pitch for whatever game we're playing. I get that the captain is supposed to be that inspirational choice, but if we need something like that in a game the entire team should be stepping up rather than looking forlornly to one particular person asking "wit we gonnae dae?!". But if we have to have one, Robertson is about as close as you can get to a safe and solid choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Obvious choice given the way the manager looks to be taking the squad. I think he's got all the attributes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggysBeard Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 To have the Scotland captain with a backstory as his serves as an incredible example to all the young guys in the country playing lower level and reserve football. A great appointment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering his injury problems last season, Man City's Mendy is in great form. Marcos Alonso is playing well too and scoring goals. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were having this debate on sky sports last night, best left back in the premier , which I assume means the world they said it was Benjamin Mendy also mentioning Marcus Alonso . Merson said they were better than Andy “Robinson” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great appointment. Does it, or does it show up a massive lack of quality youth scouting and coaching? Don't get me wrong, I love Robertson and it's an amazing story - but how many other boys are totally lost to the game because of the judgement of the same people who thought this guy was amateur level as opposed to Champions League level/the fucking Scotland captain... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. It's a known fact that youth coaches in Scotland play the players who are the tallest and the quickest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
