Five to One Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 See he starts for Cardiff again tonight. In good goal scoring form and keen to play up front for the national team. Always thought he looked like an attacking player rather than a right back. Or is he just a really good utility man? Didn’t realise he’d shifted allegiances though. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm glad he has realised he was never a right back. His delivery in the second semi final against ICT was an affront to footballers of any ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrae Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Always thought he was a player that gave his all, but it was never clear what position he could make his own.

OTT Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I'd start him against Israel. If Griffiths is fit put the two of them upfront together. He'd be an absolute wrecking ball for the Israeli's to try and contain. Gordon Tierney McKenna Mulgrew Robertson Forrest McGinn McTominay Fraser Paterson Griffiths If only we had a couple of decent centrehalfs. Mulgrew... smh. Considering RB shouldn't be that hard a position to fill (did Carragher not jokingly say its where you put slow wingers or wee centrebacks?) its weird we've got absolutely nothing there. O'Donnell isn't international standard IMO and considering the quality Tierney has, he should be in the team. Souttar could also be a decent shout. I'd be keeping McBurnie the **** away from the team though. £20m How? I'd love to get Paterson back before he retires. Great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I loved the fact he had such a great engine and he always looked dangerous still rampaging down the right late in our games. It often took him a while to get his range and some of his crosses and shots were wayward early in games, it looked like he had the wrong boots on sometimes but once he got going he was our best player attacking from deep. Hopefully we will see him return one day. Edited July 11, 2020 by All roads lead to Gorgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Always amazed me how much stick CP took form some Hearts fans. He had rough edges but a lot more technique than people gave him credit for. In terms of his personality he was our Andy Robertson - completely dedicated, worked hard to improve himself and loving every second of being a footballer.

FERRY HEARTS Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 At the age of 9 Calum used to score somewhere between 4 to 10 goals every game for the school team As his coach I dropped him back to defence to give other teams a chance . personally I think he should have played as an attacking midfielder because he has a great engine .

Not if it’s to the detriment to the other 13 kids on the park IMO I did state mate he was 10 yr old and streets above other kids Iv watched young kids heads go down when there team is being ran ragged by opponents so thought to make it level playing field Calum then made his way through boys club level where stature is a big thing at certain clubs . Maybee that is where coaches a lot more qualified than I recognised where they wanted him to play.

It seems really counter productive to me to take an outstanding talent and deliberately move him to a completely different position in order to benefit others in the name of progressing the game. But as I say, I've never coached so what do I really know about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
