Oops never saw it! Still getting used to all the different sections! Feel free to delete! :D

**RiG** · April 26, 2006

Tis cool my man don't worry - we're still getting used to it and all and I got to preview the site for a wee bittie before you guys! :lol:

metalgecko · April 26, 2006

Some may say it's cool but me: I think it's a disgrace how Mark Brown can be overlooked for Marshall and Smith. Consistently better than Smith and Marshall has not played all season.

As usual. Central Belt bias

nude_as_the_news · April 26, 2006

He's been really solid this season, but I can't help feeling that the first half of the Future's game did him more harm than good. Looked pretty nervous throughout.

moraywanderer · April 26, 2006

how does mashall get picked :shock: ....you can count all the games he has played on one hand hence no spl medal

robbed again!!!!!!!!! :evil: :twisted: :evil:

finmack · April 26, 2006

Message to Mr Smith. Absolute disgrace that Brown is not in squad. :evil:

IcyTea · April 26, 2006

None of the ICT guys performed particularly well in the Future's match up here, but Dargo and Brown surely deserved a place on their club performances.

April 26, 2006

Definitely thought Dargo was in with a shout - when do the next round of competitive matches start anyway - is it straight after the World Cup?

Andrew Fraser · April 26, 2006

I have lost a lot of respect for Walter Smith now. Not because im an inverness fan and we have no players in the squad but how can you play Marshall and Smith when I cant remember the last time they actually played. Walter has some serious thinking to do. I hope we win but the keepers make a blunder to prove how unfit they are.

kencar · April 26, 2006

Would't worry about it much.

Scotland will get humped and our players get a well earned holiday

Graeme Smith has been no.1 for Motherwell all season, and Marshall is still young. These two have a chance to become Scotland squad players for many years, whilst Brown has been consistently overlooked all his career, and these two 'keepers are both younger.

And there is no way Dargo will ever play for the full team.

Kingsmills · April 28, 2006

Neither Mark Brown or Craig Dargo did anything to impress when they had the opprtunity in the Futures game in Inverness.

Harry Chibber · April 28, 2006

And there is no way Dargo will ever play for the full team.

So if Dargo is top Scottish goal scorer next season he wouldn't get in the team??

IMO Brown has been well and truly screwed over... considering we have one of the best defencive records in the SPL is testament to Brown's ability... he should have been a shoe-in after Gordon couldn't make it and definitely ahead of Smith and Marshall!!

I think Dargo has more competition McFadden, Miller, Boyd and Maloney all deserve to be in the squad undoubtedly but considering that Maloney and McFadden play as wingers half the time only leaves us with Boyd and Miller.... TBH personally I'd prefer Dargo to Miller but I can see why he is favoured!

April 30, 2006

Its jest a fecking disgrace.

Marshall has played 3 games for Celtic this season i think and conceded 11 or 12 goals behind the defense of the champions. Even when he was playing well he wasnt that good.

Now that celtic are withdrawing their players i wonder if walter smith has the cheek to ask...............

Exiled ICT · May 2, 2006

Hardly!

Dargo's been brilliant this season don't get me wrong, but this is by far and away his best ever goalscoring season. Who's to say he's just had a lucky year and next season he'll only score 5 goals?

Miller has been scoring consistently all his career and at a much higher level, so deserves his chance at the international stage.

mikeyrob73 · May 2, 2006

As i have said on another thread lets not forget walter knows brown pretty well from there time together at the huns, Walter just doesnt rate him as a keeper and as i also said at the time, an ICT player will never get into the full squad, the only reason they were chosen for the B international was so they could folk through the gates :onedigit: to walter smith just for picking that ex tatty lifter smith over brown,

THAT IS ALL :lol:

Is it not better to lay the inform striker if he is going to get you goals??

+ Miller has had a terrible season at Wolves.... with them not even making the playoffs

Think you are judging Miller on previous performances, which is no use to Scotland in the present!!

finmack · May 3, 2006

According to Grampian Lee Miller has been added to the squad.What has he done this season compared to Dargo? Smith wants his head seeing to! :thumbdown: :shock:

Exiled ICT · May 3, 2006

+ Miller has had a terrible season at Wolves.... with them not even making the playoffs

He's scored 17 goals! How is that a terrible season?

How many does he have to score for a decent season? 40?

Lets see how many both strikers score next season competing in the same league against the same players, I'm guessing Miller will score a lot more!

Harry Chibber · May 3, 2006

12 goals I count not including internationals... I'm sure if Dargo was given the chance to play for his country he would also have given a good account of himself infront of goal!!

Don't get me wrong Miller is a good player... I just think that Dargo's pace gives him an advantage over any of the other strikers

Caley4eva · May 4, 2006

Celtic 3 withdrawn and MacNamee and Fletcher get added along with Turner the goalie from Everton
