Nice to know Terry thinks it's funny. No-one else did. i found it funny. i took the pish from first minute to last. mostly at all the oldies going mad tbh. it was rather amusing. if some people could hear themselves.

but both are fighting for the left wing position.

But the match against Motherwell is not a training session. Many players don't translate what they do in training into a match day situation. Others are the opposite and respond to the atmosphere and the sense of occasion. Roberts has had a good run in the side and whilst he's shown promise he does not appear to have lived up to his potential. If Draper is out I don't know that I would drop him for the Motherwell game but based on what those who have seen Brislen-Hall play, I would like to see him come on and get some decent game time in the first team from the bench to see how he copes with that. Roberts needs to impress more in the next couple of games or else a lengthy spell on the bench would be appropriate. If I had someone playing for me who worked well 5/5 days a week I'd rather have him starting on the Saturday than someone who doesn't. Roberts is young and clearly has alot of potential. He started off really well and is probably a victim of his own sucess. In saying that though I would like to see brislan hall at some point. Perhaps off the bench on Sunday.

But the general consensus only see him once a week whereas terry sees him play 4-5 days a week. Or however often they train.

Next time we have 10 midfielders/attackers unavailable I'm sure he'll be amongst the contenders! if he continues his form, i see no reason for him not to be included in squads. remember he was amongst the first picked to replace the 'injured' players its not like he was an outsider. the next games against estonia in febuary dont see why he shouldnt be involved in that if he plays like he is doing now, then.

more jonny hayes than shane i think, im led to believe hes a pacey little fecker

got a assist, good enough for me, didnt see the game but delighted he started and stark was obviously keen to see more of him as we thought as he got a good 3/4 of the game before being subbed for griffiths. i think a 4-2-3-1 suits him more than than being played in a 4-4-2, he isnt much of a defender, how oftn do we see him tracking back for us? so he wouldve had to adjust his game. hopefully hes done enough to get into future squads, also hope the other young lads get into future squads, theres no point in calling them up once, we had that before with vogts, and burley.

didnt expect him to feature. he was smething like 5th or 6th choice behind the likes of little, healy, shiels, and grigg, and it was an important game for northern ireland, if he came on and didnt play will the manager wouldve got slaughtered, but he could feature in a friendly soon.

the line up is: gilks whitaker hanley berra dixon naismith fletcher shinnie mulgrew rhodes miller think we might be playing a diamond with shinnie in front of fletcher

hes been playing on the wing for the u20s

yeh we have a game this week who forgot? reguero dave the rave-warren-meekings-g.shinnie owain--draper? doran--a.shinnie--brislan hall mckay subs:esson, cooper, foran, pepper, morison, sutherland, roberts obviously if drapers still out forans in for him but cant find a space for foran atm brislan halls on fire for the u20s think hes earned a game so id have him starting, seems to be the sort of player to run at players and get in goalscoring positions off the wings. could be a threat. the rest is as usual, keep this run going.

brislan hall scoring again,think hes finding it too easy in the u20s. and with roberts not playing to his full potential he could be in the running for a start.

Admire your praise of Miller but I dont think he'll be travelling from Canada. I could be wrong but I think his season is over now because the Whitecaps have been eliminated from the MLS Cup. Even if he was in uk at the time of the call he's came from afar before. I remember during his time at bursaspor he had a 12 hour flight to get to the Scotland camp. And he's also being coming from Canada to play in the qualifiers. Whereas others ant be ersed coming from England to represent their country. If I was Scotland manager if be giving kenny the call. At least you know he'll turn up. I can't remember him pulling out of a squad for donkeys.

bell whittaker berra webster dixon kelly fletcher © naismith a.shinnie davidson miller i obviously rigged it to fit shinnie in but see no reason why he shouldnt start. very much lacking a left sided player, so think griffiths could end up playing wide left but doubt he has the work rate for it. back line seems strong, should be able to cope with luxembourgs part timers anyway. miller instead of rhodes due to his loyalty to his nation coming from canada to play for us whilst 9 players based in britain couldnt be arsed. and theres no way all 9 are injured. he hasnt came from canada for nothing. if every one of our players were as committed to scotland as kenny wed be on route to rio or wouldve made it to the euros. say what you want about him being to old not good enough etc, but he keeps getting the call and there isnt a doubt that he'll show up. have to respect his commitment. darren fletchers another one who will always turn up. all the thiasco with steven fletcher and he cant be arsed to turn up again. im sick of players like him. not taking up the opportunity to play for your nation is a sin in my book.

the even capper one.

esson t china?!?!?! have i missed something? is he looking for a final payday?

first time in a very long time ive been disapointed with a draw against hearts. perhaps the first time ever. but that just says it all about where we are just now. owain tudor jones' strike was incredible. up there with dorans goal against county. his celebration, first class.

leslie for elgin

They could almost replicate how we play with billy up top and put dean Sheils in behind him. It Would be similar to our shinnie/McKay front two. I doubt he'll play. But it's great for him to be involved with his country. Personally felt he could hold out for the call from Roy hodgson though!

I'm a fan of two legged semi finals myself. Look at some of the epic league cup semi finals there's been in England in the last few years. West ham vs Birmingham, Man U vs man city, and villa vs Blackburn. It's always a brilliant spectacle. That's would be something for whoever makes the format too look into. But for now I'm buzzing for giving hearts a thrashing and going to hampden in march.

Give it to billy stark. He knows the youth, he'll be able to bring them through into the first team, feed them in and that would be what we need to try and qualify for euro 2016, with players like tony watt, James Forrest, gms, jonny Russell, Danny Wilson and grant Hanley who all clearly have ability I see no reason why they could gel and form a very good international team, just need the right coach and that could be billy stark. He'd be better than strachan anyway.

Mrs Shinnie? :D I see no reason why not to.

Foran will be on them when he gets back.

Big credit to terry and mo for that. Changing him from a centre midfeilder who can play wide to a 2nd strikers the best move that could've happened to him. I remember hi first couple appearances in that role behind tade and it didn't work but credit they stuck with it, and he's been incredibly prolific ever since.
