I think we should put you on a boat and Fred Scuttle it.

I think the idea of that is that exposure to higher level teams will help improve the other teams over time.

Having said that, it was better than this year's FA Cup Final.

It's never happened yet with any league reconstruction. Not one reconstruction  in the last 50 years has produced the perceived benefits.

The only reason for the last few reconstructions has been to ensure more revenue for the OF and guarantee a minimum number of OF derbies per season for the TV companies.

Mission accomplished there.

Possible Scotland call up for Lennon Miller, with Billy Gilmour out injured?

I would hope so but it’s far from a foregone conclusion. Fletcher appears to have grasped the opportunity to impress this week. 

[Spit_It_Out]

Lennon Miller might aswell retire from international selection the now probably won't get a fair crack while Clarke is in charge I will be shocked if he picked him.

If Fletcher goes before him and a few others its nothing but a disgrace tbh.

[dennyc]

I fear Connor Barron will be who Clarke goes for. Based on nothing but who he plays for.  Hopefully I'm wrong because Lennon Miller should be first in line. No faith that Clarke will do the right thing.

[Orinoco]

Fletcher picked! A guy who has played 2 games as a sub on!! 

Time for Lennon to retire from International football. He aint going to play in the next 4 years in anycase! Concentrate on his club and tell SFA to do one.

Theres loyality but only to Clarkes pals. 

[mfc]

Miller's comments about being the best in the scotland squad when he first got called up didn't go down well and you have to wonder if that's now going against him.i think he was the only player to get no minutes in the last set of friendlies which was bizarre in its self,for scotland to not take a player playing in serie a to a world cup is a poor decision. 

[Spit_It_Out]

So we are picking players that have the odd under club u21 game and sitting on the bench for big teams lol guy is a clown.

Job for the boys pick if I seen one and a slap in the face to a fair few players.

[steelman1991]

I hate Clarke - that's all 🤣

[bobbybingo]

It's not for the likes of us to question Steve Clarke when it comes to international football tournaments. The guy's record speaks for itself.

If it was his overenthusiastic comments that are being held against him then Clarke is even more clueless than I thought. I read John McGinn's thoughts about the incident, and he (and the rest of team) thought it was hilarious and followed the time honoured tradition of good humoured taking the Mick out of Miller for that camp.

Giving the place to a player who has made 2 senior substitute appearances over the 3 other options that each have over 100 first team appearances says everything about Clarke's favouritism and tactics.

Nothing we didn't know already, of course.

Of course, on reflection, Clarke's record in the finals of international tournaments does speak for itself: we are unquestionably dire 😱.

It appears those running things at Hampden would question that view, which just proves how wilfully blind and utterly incompetent they are, yet again.

[star sail]

You see this all the time in work places. Managers at various levels who hide behind a set of principles to favour the people they want only to drop those same principles when somebody they don't want meets the criteria.

SC has talked about honouring players who have been in the Scotland set up over the last few years. He has used it to pick Anthony Ralston and Grant Hanley at the expense of somebody like Stephen Welsh.

Now suddenly Lennon Miller who has been involved in the Scotland set up for a couple of years gets sidestepped for a player that had impressed in a couple of training sessions this week.

I am struggling to get behind this campaign at this moment in time. The USA as a venue is not inspiring me. It seems difficult to get excited about a competition organised by a corrupt organisation in  FIFA trying to fleece the fans that support them out of every penny they can.

The Scotland team itself represents the SFA, a backwater of an organisation as self servicing as it's big brother FIFA. Steve Clark as a manager seems to encapsulate in body what the SFA represent in spirit.

No doubt if Scotland beat Haiti I will immediately be as hypocritical as the next man for suddenly becoming a raging nationalist again and decking my house in Saltires but for the moment I am strangely neutral about the whole thing.

[grizzlyg]

I am wondering if its because Fletcher hasnt played a competitive game for us and could get pinched by England.  Feel so sorry for Lennon but I don't think its anything to do with his comments a while back
