AllyMax Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Hope Miller gets some minutes. This will be my first international since the early 80s 😊 My old age got brought home to me about 18 months ago, when someone brought an SFA 150th anniversary shirt in to my shop get framed. I thought, fuck me, I was at the centenary game ! Versus England, played in the snow, orange ball and a full on proper pumping it was too ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not old enough to have seen the 1873 one obviously 🙂 My first international was a Home International against Wales in 1972 (aged 9 or 10). The SFA Centenery game was in '73 I think. Willie Ormond's first game in charge. We lost 0-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Carver saying what he said about Miller makes him nothing less than a total wanker. Regardless of what a young and obviously excited 18 year old said to the media, Carver is more than 3x his age and absolutely should know better than to say what he’s since said about Miller. It was entirely unnecessary and bordering on spiteful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I think you are all forgetting how qualified carver is and his experience gained from a 113 game career with Gateshead Utd. carver as well as Clarke have the same attitude, extremely negative, extremely sour on anyone having any sort of drive about them as a player and really arrogant to their own abilities. Lennon said nothing wrong and what he said should be admired but I’d take a wild guess and say that carver and Clarke did t like the comment and won’t give him a game, or if they do they will give him 1min on the park at the end as a punishment to clip his wings. we need new people in charge at Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was entirely unnecessary and bordering on spiteful. If you read the full quote, Miller gave a pretty professional answer to what was a, no doubt, typically loaded journo question: Quote "Listen, I'm obviously not going to go in and be the best player there, but I believe that I could maybe in a couple of months be the best player there. "I think that's how you need to think as a football player, you need to want to be the best, so that's what I will look to do." I can't imagine any successful pro not having the mindset that "you need to want to be the best" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 McGinn doing what good captains do and sticking up for his new team mate instead of slagging him off. Quote “He was probably thinking, why did I say that? But I said plenty of stupid things when I was coming through at St Mirren. “At the same time, they're not here to make the numbers up, they're here to take our places if eventually they're better than the ones that are here and we no longer get called up. “So they need to have that confidence, they need to come here and not just make the numbers up, come here and try and get a starting position and then become a mainstay for years to come. “He definitely has the ability to do so and so does James. I watch Motherwell pretty regularly and my brother Paul always spoke about him highly. “But not only that, his mentality, he's a good team-mate, very mature. So obviously I've been really keen to play alongside him and see him this week in training. Even sat at lunch there, he's a quiet guy but desperate to succeed and work hard.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Wee interview with Clarke on BBC website defending young Lennon and the crazy coverage his comments got. Hopefully he had a word with Carver and McGinn then who didn't help matters. Fair play to Clarke Ps. Dear John, I take it you then regret doing your stupid oompah German dance then not kicking a ball in the Euros. Pps. Yer still a great player though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennyc Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 5 minutes ago, grizzlyg said: He was going on about how lennon would regret making them. Why bother mentioning it John? Worried about losing yer place? Listening to the Lee Miller interview I think Lennon does regret phasing his desire to be the best in the way he did. Nothing wrong with wanting and saying you want to be the best and McGinn readily acknowledged that. He also spoke highly of Miller's ability and maturity. McGinn revealed how badly he himself had been treated by senior players when called up, Charlie Adam in particular, and gave the impression that he would ensure Miller was not treated in such a bitter, jealous manner. I thought McGinn spoke well as a captain, supported Miller and said nothing wrong. It's only the media looking for a story and a few on here that seem determined to find fault. Steve Clark also spoke well on the matter and dismissed it as nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made light of the "best player" comment and spent the rest of the time talking about how he had the right attitude and mentality and should be looking replace the old guard in the team: "At the same time, they're not here to make the numbers up, they're here to take our places if eventually they're better than the ones that are here and we no longer get called up."

I am more annoyed with carver the dinosaur. Anyway we move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
