Bazzas right boot Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Will be in the next Scotland squad. Crying out for options like him. Forrest was injured, but Scotland could do with his ilk, even from the bench. Part of the reason for him coming here was for international reasons imo. I'm calling it-Barry in the next Scotland squad. Edited October 9, 2021 by Smith's right boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Would be brilliant to see more Hearts players in the squad. Souttar too (after he signs his contract extension of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'd rather that our players don't have to risk injuries ... I know, it's great for the players (if they've grown up with aspirations of international football) but, if Gordon or Souttar got crocked then I'd be apoplectic.

More likely to get injured playing for Hearts but we can’t wrap them in cotton wool. Do we stop them playing meaningless friendlies or League Cup section games for Hearts in case they get injured? Not that we have to worry about Souttar getting injured playing for Scotland. Not very likely when the Leeds captain and centre back can’t get a game ahead of a midfielder who is constantly pish when he plays at RCB for Scotland.

Sid Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 We have first team level players not getting on the bench. The more games the better. Cups, Internationals, bounce games (like Dundee Utd this week). You can’t keep 20 players content/match sharp playing Sat Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'm just being pragmatic. If any of our players got crocked on international duties, and that is not unknown hence numerous instances of OF players being 'unavailable' and yet miraculously fit the next again week, then yes, I'd be less than chuffed. Yes, more likely to pick up an injury whilst playing for us. But, a sair yin fer us if it happens during a game that is of no consequence to our league endeavours.

RobNox Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I think we should want guys like McKay to get into the Scotland squad, and Cammy to get into the Australian squad. That's part of the reason why they have come to Hearts, and can only add to their sell on value when they eventually move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can establish a reputation for helping ambitious players to further their careers then that can only help us to continue to attract good young talent. And if we can sell a lot of these players on for a decent return, that gives us the money to attract even better prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not a jambo (NOT meaning you obviously), you will not know that he has the potential to play for Scotland. He is still quite a long way from even being on the bench for Scotland though, despite little competition for the position of winger. Hopefully he will get fitter and show the consistency required.

CloustonHMFC Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Barrie Mackay won't be in a Scotland squad any time soon but I simply cannot fathom why any Hearts supporter wouldn't want our players to be called up to internationals. The reward for the club, and our players, completely outweigh the risk of injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
