I don't think that's a reasonable comparison to make. The comparison might be Dorrans. I don't think it really matters who the seventh pick central midfielder is, or who the sixth pick is. It's like fourth choice goalkeeper at national level. Even if Arfield had been capped, he'd have about three of them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I thought he did as well, but he was an unused sub against the Netherlands, and didn't travel on the summer tour.Neither he did.

Toshson Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Scott Allan Steven MacLean Harry Cochrane David Gray Paul Hanlon Darren McGregor Andy Considine Mark Reynolds Greg Stewart Dylan McGeouch Barrie McKay All better than Stephen Dobbie, IMO.Think you'll find Barrie McKay is a one cap wonder. Allan can't even get a game for his club. Cochrane can't get a game for the under 21's. The rest are average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering some of the guff that have been capped, especially at centre half, it's quite surprising. 7 hours ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: MARTIN BOYLE Nah mate, he's Finnish. 6 hours ago, Gordopolis said: 8 hours ago, craigkillie said: Dylan McGeouch and Barrie McKay both have Scotland caps.

The rest may be average at best, but I'm afraid the same is very much true of your beloved striker. Next you'll be telling us Rory McAllister or Alan Trouten should be getting call ups.

When Stephen Dobbie was plying his trade in top teams in the championship, was the time Levein should of gave him a chance. Nothing I would like more to have a young similar player to him in the Scotland squad. But to be perfectly honest McBurnie and Russell wouldn't lace Dobbies boots six to eight year ago.

Toshson Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 As for the comment about Shankland from Ayr, he's one of most over rated players in the championship. Fair enough he's scored a few goals for a team that's in a very false position in the championship. But come the end of the season I fully expect Queens to be above them and Dobbie to have scored more goals than Shankland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's Dobbie's entire record in England. It's nothing special at all, the only season that's in any way good is 2011-12. Was he in front of Kenny Miller or Steven Naismith? Even the likes of Mackail-Smith were scoring more goals at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see a problem with Arfield not having been called up by Scotland. As for Uncapped players, one that could be next in line for a cap is Stevie Mallan if he continues to play well for Hibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbie down south was an attacking midfield player much of the time. I'm looking at the likes of Stevie May, David Clarkson and Chris McGuire all of whom earned a Scottish cap and went down to English championship and didn't do near as much as Dobbie.

RandomGuy. Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Would it be right to suggest Dobbie was peaking at the wrong time? I can't remember all the details but I'm sure if he'd been at that level nowadays he'd be a certain call up, he was just unfortunate better players were also playing well then. Same with Arfield, a starting EPL regular would usually walk into squads, yet the quality was so deep he couldn't make it. Scott Allan is surely a joke shout though? He was absolutely dreadful at Dundee and done alright at Hibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Dobbie probably still better than Russell tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toshson Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Cochrane is injured.Cochrane's a great young talent for the future, but for someone to reply and say he's the best Scottish player never to be capped, well that's doesn't add up.I'm sure if he progresses the way he's going he'll become a regular for the national team.
