He’s probably the closest by Scottish standards in having a bit class coupled with experience.

 

Scotland always seem to have plenty potential quality but they never really seem to be of a high standard come their mid to late 20s.

 

Maybe one or two but never half a team which would maybe give us a chance.

 

He's not actually in the squad!

Souttar captaining the U21's! 

  • 1Ryan Fulton (GK)
  • 3Greg Taylor
  • 4John Souttar (C)
  • 5Jason Kerr
  • 7Oliver Burke
  • 8Greg Docherty
  • 9Ryan Hardie
  • 10Lewis Morgan
  • 14Stephen Mallan
  • 17Chris Cadden
  • 22Allan Campbell
  • Some exciting players in that team especially the likes of Burke, Morgan and Taylor. Mallan has lots of ability but has struggled down south so far.

Don’t think they’ll have much option. Real fans, or pavement dancers, it’ll matter not two vodkas to the Russians.

 

English flag = Targets. 

 

 

Saw some of the Russian fans over here in 2016. Narrowly escaped an incident myself.

 

These guys are just wild.

We too were in Marseille for a meal with friends who had just become grandparents to twins. We had considered cancelling but ended up going along. That was quite a fiery night as the restaurant was on the old port where the Russians and English were drinking.

 

My incident however took place in a wee town outside of Nice. Suffice to say, my wife and I were let out the back door of a bar and had to run to the train station. The Russians thought we were English!

Watched a documentary about Russian hooligans, gang fights etc.

 

The various gangs include police and other professionals in their ranks. 

 

They love a pagger. 

Aye, it's totally organised, military style.

 

By the way?  Pagger :rofl:

Looking forward to the game tonight - hopefully Big Eck can get off to a good start and build up a wee bit of momentum.

Not according to Berra. He said in his interview McLeish told him he was going to go with younger players for the friendly's. Didn't sound like he was informed he would be rested. Also read like he was told this after the squad was named. Very unprofessional. He dropped Berra for players older and $#!te.

Didn't see that. If so, I agree completely. Very strange.

At first think we all assumed HMFC has asked for Berra to be rested but his interview with EEN as others have said suggests he was told MacLeish wanted to bleed younger players in friendlies

Folk wanting Scotland to get beat WTF?

Maybe this game is more important for Scotland and his development than a pointless friendly...

Not bothered about the politics of McLeish's appointment, will always support the team regardless. Strapon had a few decent performances out of the team before ultimately failing so hoping that we will continue this from the off.

Don’t mind Mulgrew, but Hanley? Arguably the worst defender I’ve ever seen pull on a Scotland top.

Was wondering whether it was to do with his recent fitness issues.

 

Perhaps not judging by your reply.

 

If only he’d made 3 appearances for Celtic ?

Hanley FFS -  we will never qualify for any championship with that level of player in the team.

 

Why pick him for a friendly we know what he can ................sorry cant do!!!

 

Tells Berra he is trying the younger guys then plays him 

McLeish :vrface:

Overall think that's a very good team bar Hanley - Berra should be in place of but doesn't take Sir Alex to work that one out. Apart from that can't say I'm disappointed in the slightest.

Good luck to them though.

There are a number of 'new faces' included. People will keep banging on about throwing young players in......back in the real world the U21's just drew 1-1 with fecking Andorra!!!!

By all accounts he wasn’t at all happy at not being included. So that probably rules out fitness issues.

Jesus wept. What an embarrassment. 

 

Has too be one of the worst results ever at that level right? Horrendous. Utterly horrendous that our young pro players, see of whom earn a lot of money can't beat Andorra. Only makes it even worse when you realise it was a competitive game too!!!!
