djf Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Don't think it's been discussed today, what with all the excitement of the Kenny Clark power hour (and a half) but a few of the Sundays were advising that Christophe is going to be called up to the Scotland squad for the home game against Croatia. So congratulations to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadgey55 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I hear Wolves are sniffing about CB. A step down IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djf Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Well done Berra. With the likes of bomb scare Caldwell in the squad CB deserves a call up. Yup. Don't know if he's ready to be starting yet but the experience of being in the squad will do him a world of good. Bit of weight off his shoulders for a few days and a chance to learn from some experienced players again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Agree that it's a good experience for him to be in the squad but he is in no way ready for the national team. Bit of a strange one really as he's not been to hot this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Congratulaition. Think he will be completly out of his depth, but congratulations all the same. If he stands beside Caldwell i think he will do alright. He has had a good season under trying times, i think he deserves the recognition. He is too old for the 21's and It is a friendly afterall so i think it is more of a pat on the back for the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think he has had a good season, mate - would agree on trying times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Dont think he has had a good season, mate - would agree on trying times though. Fair enough GA but out of our entire defence he has been consistently decent IMO. Looking around the scotland setup they have very few left footers.

Don't get me wrong, he's been one of the better performers but that doesn't say much does it! He was terrible over the Christmas period and I just don't see what he has done to merit a call up. If it's for the experience of being in the squad then good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Gosling Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 He'll probably play well for Scotland with no pressure on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordeaux 03 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 He's definately not as good as some people make out. I would rather have Karapidis and Tall play together than Berra. Him being captain is just a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being captain is just a joke. Tall is out of contract and I doubt very much his contract will be renewed. As for Karipidis he is not as good as Berra but is better than Zaclueless...........

I think Karapidis has improved dramatically in the last wee while, definately first name on the team sheet as far as centre backs are concerned.

Andy.C Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Berra is a pretty good player, but never a captain in a million years. I was actually quited p!ssed off with him at the game on saturday. The defence became a shambles, and rather than organising things, it was him getting bollockings from banks, but only shrugging his shoulders and passing on the blame. Good player though, just take away the responsibility of being a captain too...it is too much for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
