Playing for your country is an honour that shouldn't be devalued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still couldn't play. Less injured but still injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall_Saint Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 If I had a good club career I wouldn't care about being paid by the national side. You're already getting free travel and hotel stay, for me the simple honour of wearing my country's shirt (whether it be Belgium or Scotland) would be enough. I love them with a passion just watching them both, never mind having the opportunity to play for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Getting capped for Scotland may lead to an increase in salary at next renewal of club contract. Or maybe a transfer to a bigger Club and therefore earning more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Tierney out of the Squad now. That will save the ludicrous situation of playing a left back at centre half or right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 So international class players can only play in one position? That would suggest they are not international class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong on this but I thought I heard McLeish and other managers like Martin O'Neill asking fans to remember that players were not being paid to appear when players were criticised for pulling out of matches. Maybe it was just friendlies or maybe I'm following in the tradition of IOBS, Sweeper07 and saintnextlifetime and talking utter shite.

faraway saint Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Well, today's the day. As sad as it is a draw will do, leaving us to win the next game. Even with a reserve side surely a draw, at least, is possible? I'll be in Fife watching this with a Rangers supporting mate. C'mon Scotland.
