swaddon Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 That's Super John McGinn into the UEFA Cup final with Villa. Hopefully he doesn't get injured. He could win both the Europa League and the World Cup in the same year. Wouldn't that be something? 1 Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/8224-scotland-squad/page/126/#findComment-283436

Oh, hell yeah.

Agreed, maybe we can play one of our three right backs in nets Feel sorry for Lennon Miller not making it Ross Stewart is an interesting one, thought his place might have gone to Nisbet, Bowie or dare I say it Thon horrible Hun cunt McBurnie Last major tournament for a number of these players I'd imagine Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/8224-scotland-squad/page/126/#findComment-284256

Other than that it's pretty much as expected. Some will gripe about Curtis being in there but we have so few wide players I can support it. Certainly prefer him to Forrest Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/8224-scotland-squad/page/126/#findComment-284258

RicoS321 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I reckon one of the four right centre backs could have made way for Miller. Bowie for Hirst would have been my preference, but Hirst has been in all the squads leading up to it, so it's not a terrible decision. Bowie and Miller will be in the next one.

Never ceases to amaze me, that Ralston very very seldom gets a game for Timothy but yet always in our national squad, there are far better options available than him. McCrorie being one of them.

Aye, and in fairness to Ralston, he was involved when they were both injured for ages and McRorie wasn't doing a lot for his club. Since then he's regularly turned up for squads as backup. It's similar to Hanley, Hirst and Gordon, he helped get us there so he gets first refusal. If McRorie was a really good player in a role we struggled in then it would be justified, but he's only marginally better than Ralston. 1 Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/8224-scotland-squad/page/126/#findComment-284297

Mentorred Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Who would have thought all those years ago Shankland would be a World Cup player. Say what you like about him, but he has fairly come on since leaving us.

Embarrassing? A great result. Practically a home game for the dog-eaters given the billions of them living in the US. I'm led to believe.
