Frazzie Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Good news to have our players recognised - hopefully learns them a few things and raise their value a bit. Might go along to Broadwood for the game next Wednesday. Frazzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Cannot believe that Smith is not included!!!! He's had a bit of a yo-yo Scotland career with him being included in the Scotland squad that went to Japan in 2006 then disappearing off the radar. Getting a call up and being named man of the match in the B International in Airdrie against the Republic, and promptly disappearing off the radar again. Personally, with the two keepers selected both plying their trade in England, I don't know enough about their current form to compare them to Buzz and say whether he should be in or not. What I do remember is Marshall being impressive when he broke through with Celtic and it seemed for a time that it might be a straight fight between him and Gordon to be Scotland no.1. But that's a good few years ago now. I suppose he's due his turn given he's in that 3rd choice keeper role which means he could be in 50 squads but hardly have a hope of ever playing. Turner, I believe is viewed as having a good career ahead of him, but beyond a couple of outings for Everton I really couldn't say whether he's ahead of, behind or about the same in comparison with Smith.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I believe that the lad Turner had the opportunity to come out on loan to Motherwell at some point last season but Everton decided he would be better off elsewhere and in England!

kmmfc Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Can't believe Smith isn't in the squad neither. I don't think there are many better Scottish keepers than him playing in the SPL at the moment. To be honest, its a joke that this game has been organised as it serves absolutely no purpose.

something else Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Can't believe Hammells in the squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Can't believe Hammells in the squad Can see him being second choice to Brian Easton though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yir Elder Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well done to all four Motherwell lads, a great honour for them and for the club too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Had a wee look at the story on the official site, which says Hammell was capped by Berti Vogts. If memory serves correctly, wasn't it Tommy Burns who handed Hammell his single cap? Pretty sure it was a friendly against Sweden after Vogts had left, and Burns was caretaker. Not moaning at the official site or anything, just wondering if anyone remembers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellfan1984 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Can't believe Hammells in the squad Why not. Top player for assists at MFC? Lets face it, been along time since we cared if our wing backs could defend. All that matters is what they do going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Christ, was it that long ago?! I mind it now though, we got humped 4-1 (at Easter Road I believe). Was talking about thr Sweden and Trinidad games when driving by Easter Road today. Can't believe it was that long ago. I mind Brian Kerr coming on in the Trinidad game. That was a fine day with Fletch and Quashie running the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Given the quality of Scottish football these days its good to see four Motherwell players in ANY Scotland squad. Well done to all four of our guys. They are probably our four best, most consistent, and most reliable players. Also our most saleable assets.

Motherwell Football Club Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Why not. Top player for assists at MFC? Lets face it, been along time since we cared if our wing backs could defend. All that matters is what they do going forward. I'd have though that O'brien would have the most assists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
