Miller doesn't need to be starting for Scotland, but he was worth a punt as a sub in the Slovenia game for example.

No its the Judeans peoples front

Alpologies for the forthright nature of my post! In my defence, I was still in Macedonia, and alcohol had been consumed. However, all that said, I dont think Lennon Miller should be behaving like a petulant child and refuse to play for his country because he is currently finding it difficult to get into the side. Look at the system that the new manager is playing. Where does Lennon fit into that, and who does he replace? Lewis Ferguson, the Italian Cup Winning former Bolgna Captain? Billy Gilmour? First choice pick for Napoli and arguably currently our best midfielder? Or John McGinn, the Europa League winning Aston Villa Captain with over 90 caps? You also need to look at in game changes, who came on and why. More importantly who didnt come on and why. I love Lennon Miller as much as the next Motherwell fan. But there is a reason he isnt a nailed down starter for Udinese and why international managers arent yet ready to trust him as a first pick for the national team. He is only 20. His time will come and he should be ready when it does. To suggest he tells Scotland where to go would suggest no great desire to play for the national team. Thankfully Lennon feels differently.

It was quite interesting and he speaks well, but the questions were generally quite straightforward.

Not yet but it's in the post with your email reply

Maybe as not every member is from the Motherwell area? Add some business and sponsorship links you get a venue worthy of such an event. Going by some of the takes on here recently, may do some good to see the big wide world.

Meet and greet with Alfred at club tonight, sell out and I wont be there but hope its a good night and folk give him a chance

I would suggest emailing them but seeing as I am still waiting on a reply to my email 5 weeks ago I dont fancy your chances

You need a holiday mate 😉

Yup definitely....and actually credit to Big Eck as he travelled down to persuade him

Binks knows hes not good enough to get in the England squad...its people like Scott McTominay that you really need to tip your hat to, as he decided when very young and was playing for Man Utd

Jeez.....I am agreeing with MJC!, What is happening to me! 🤪

Gunn meets qualifying criteria but my biggest gripe is that twice he was asked to represent Scotland and said No. Then shockeroonie he suddenly made himself available after Craig Gordon had double leg break. It's the grandparent rule I don't like though if I am being hypocritical I don't mind Binks as he hasn't hidden his desire to play for Scotland. Yer che adams...George hirst only declared interest after we had qualified for finals

I love your gatekeeping take on the regulations that allow most international players to be selected only matter because someone chose a path open to them playing football for a country they are eligible for a passport for. He didn't wander into Hampden and demand to play for Scotland, he had eligibility and was selected, obviously good enough to be selected by England throughout his youth career, international GK seem to be an institution so he would have chosen Scotland as we were in transition at that position.

But in Angus Gunn’s case he had represented England at youth level all the way up to u-21 and was even called up to the senior squad although did not get any game time. It was only when it became clear that he was far too far down the pecking order for England that he decided to “see sense” as you put it. That makes a mockery of the whole thing. He chose to play for Scotland because he is not good enough to play for England, it is as simple as that. And from what I have seen he’s not all that great for Scotland either.

It's not always an easy decision when you're half Scottish and half English, though. Or born outside of Scotland to Scottish parents. You get someone like Ollie McBurnie who was born in Leeds to a Scottish father and has always been desperate to wear the dark blue. Angus Gunn may not have had that same drive, but his old man was a Scotland cap and he saw sense in the end.

Why the Society's Fan Ownership Festival is being held in Glasgow and not in the Motherwell area? Surely it should be supporting the local business community. Seems a bit wierd. It would also cut down on travelling for folks who want to go along.

Must admit I thought the Tennents Sixes was much more entertaining than last nights Scotland game 🤣 Relief now of course we will be back to some normality next weekend

Cheers bud, lot of empty seats. Only clip i caught was on Instagram and Fraser Wrights red card! Now that was a classic

He missed our decisive final penalty in the quarter final and then immediately teamed up with Hibs who he has never played for. It’s just Ross McCormack doing Ross McCormack things. what an absolute sh1t tournament….. talk about downgrade… when once we watched us have Davie Cooper in peak form to seeing Jim Patterson and Keith Lasley looking infirm

Was away for weekend and just spotted ross mccormack in hibs top at sixes!, eh?

Playing against just as many teams as he has being with the Scotland squad over the last 2 weeks..nil so like most of our own squad having a short break or or taking in some extra training to force himself into the team with the manager, clearly more than is happening for the boy in the Scotland squad, but as many in here say and I agree it’s a decision for Lennon to make himself, we can, and do, give our tuppence worth opinions on all matters Motherwell 😃

Update for the week to 4 October. The site is still at 209 clubs, and citations are now at 19,684, about a thousand of them added this week. No new clubs; the week went on checking what's already there against the papers of the day. Corrections St Johnstone's club historian, Alastair Blair, contacted us with a number of corrections which proved invaluable. The club was formed at a meeting on 24 February 1885, not in 1884, and our map had the Recreation Grounds 2.4km away in a housing estate, copied from a wrong Wikipedia infobox. Checking his letter against the papers turned up more of our own mistakes, now fixed: the Muirton Park opener on Christmas Day 1924 was 2-1 to Saints, Sanderson both; the 1969 League Cup final crowd was 73,067; and it's Kenny Deuchar, not Kevin. His and Brian Doyle's books are now cited, with their permission. Thanks to both. That prompted a check of every ground on the map against the old OS maps. Twelve were in the wrong place and have moved, including Kilmarnock's Holm Quarry, the first Celtic Park and Rangers' Fleshers' Haugh. Rechecked against the papers Dundee United: 27 chapters, about 225 new citations. The 1980 League Cup final goals were Dodds two and Sturrock one; the 1982-83 ninety goals was a record shared that season with Celtic; and the Livingston play-off semi was lost 2-3 at home and drawn 1-1 away. Dundee: the modern chapters, about 650 new citations. The 2023 Championship was won 5-3 at Ochilview, where Queen's Park were playing their home games, and the 2012 SPL vote on the Rangers newco was "overwhelming" in the Belfast Telegraph's report, not unanimous. Bellshill Athletic's junior years, from the Bellshill Speaker and others: the protested 1913 semi-final against Newton Villa, the 1913-14 Scottish Junior Cup tie with Mossend Hibs that ran to four games, and the 1923 Glasgow Cup final at Firhill on 26 May, about 8,000 there. The SFA Annuals are now cited for Morton's Garvel Park, Dundee's Carolina Port and Raith's Stark's Park. Crests Deveronvale and Annan Athletic have given permission, and their badges are on their pages. Thanks to both clubs. Next week the Premiership re-check carries on, Falkirk next. As ever, if you spot something wrong, the corrections page is there and I fix things in public. https://scottishfootballhistory.scot

I didn’t suggest that he should decline a call up, or that he shouldn’t want to play for Scotland, indeed I said that it was obviously an honour for players to represent their country. But club football is more important and defines the careers of players apart from a very few exceptions and it’s even less common nowadays. In the case of Scottish players the only one in recent times to have had a better international career than club career was probably Faddy.

Playing against who? Serie A is on an international break too.
