Gordopolis Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 He scored on his debut, but then remarkably didn't get another cap for six years afterwards.Cos he was shite for those 6 years. Then he got a bit better and we got a bit shiter. A marriage made in heaven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough was dreadful - absolutely the worst link in good sides. Massively responsible for the debacle in Argentina. We conceded six goals and he can absolutely be faulted for four of them. It's inexplicable that he gathered so many caps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that we had McCoist, Gallacher, Durie etc at that point - but normally scoring on your debut is at least worth a sympathy second cap in the next friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt happy for the guy for his Iceland heroics. Iwelumo is the ledge though. You spend your whole career building towards representing your country and then do that, which is the sort of thing I used to do if I hadn't played fives for a few weeks. Kirk Broadfoot who started in the UEFA Cup Final is the worst Scotland player of all time? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I had it in my mind that it was a panenka, but it was a “stutter and place it opposite the keeper” job. Minutes later he sent the ball into row z while Craig Mackail-Smith (remember him?) was waiting in front of an empty goal for a cut back. That would have made it 3-2 but we would have needed a win (lol) to beat the Czechs to second place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of days before we beat Liechtenstein 1-0 in Vaduz courtesy of a goal from Mckail-Smith. Bumped into him, Darren Fletcher & Craig Levein the following morning at Zurich airport. Had a couple of pints with Duncan Shearer in Alicante, also got to see the World Cup which was on display. IIRC the Spanish team were staying in a bog-std hotel on the waterfont in Alicante mixing with everybody else as regulars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also about three foot six, played with no gloves as was the style at the time, and somehow got a career as a pundit despite lacking the capacity for speaking the English language. He’s appalling, and even if he was the best keeper Scotland have, he’d still be meriting a place in this thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that he was a centre forward with 25 caps, it would be quite embarrassing if he hadn't outscored defenders and holding midfielders. He scored 4 goals, coming against Ecuador in the Kirin Cup then in friendlies v Canada x 2 and New Zealand. It was a shite record and of the current crop of centre forwards only McBurnie is obviously poorer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed he did get one goal though. It was against a Hong Kong Select. Remember being at the 2-0 loss to Belgium in Brussels which ended our chances of getting to the Japan/SK World Cup. With time desperately running out someone shouted ‘Bring on Scott Gemmill, he’ll save us’ and the whole of the surrounding section laughing. Definite you laugh or you cry moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
