Not at all happy with the keepers. McKenzie should definately be involved.

I agree I would take out Douglas and put in Mckenzie. Other than that it looks like you should walk away with six points. :)

Hmmm since my selection is limited and I am playing two weaker nations putting 4 in the back is a waste. Wins are a must and draws are no better than loses now.

Keeper: Gordon (Hearts)

Defense: Pressely (Hearts), Caldwell (Hibs), Caldwell (Sunderland)

Midfield: Ferguson (Rangers), Fletcher (Manchester United), Hartley (Hearts), O'Neil (Preston)

Strikers: Riordan (Hibernian), Thompson (Rangers), McFadden (Everton) {just behind Rio and Thom} :cool:

There is no way that would happen. Both Caldwell's are shite and miles behind others in the squad.

Naysmith is injured and pretty much ruled out for the game, he was just picked cause Wattie wants him to be part of the squad. This leaves us with no left back, I can only pressume McNamara will play there.

Leaving out the captain, Barry Ferguson? Don't think so somehow.

I would've had Russell Anderson and Ian Murray in my team for Alexander and Pressley. Pressley and Weir won't really last past this campaign, Anderson should be given a chance beside one of them now, he's just as good as Pressley anyway. Alexander was in the Championship team of the year, he's always pish for Scotland though.

I think we should attack Moldova, we have a better squad than them and we should show it.

[Scottish_Morton]

Got my tickets :). In the corner in the East Stand, at least it's near the North Stand...

lol sorry, but I don't think Scotland can beat Belarus in Minsk.

Hopefully you guys can beat Italy later this year though. I'll be rooting for you in that one. :D

Scotland will destroy Belarus, 3-0 easy. After our 5-0 win over Moldova.

:D

No offence, but he has been pretty shite for Scotland. He wouldn't make my team.

No offence but he was probably our best player in Italy and fortunately you're not the team manager.

I agree, Ferguson is probably our most talented player and should be the first name on the team sheet IMO.

[Teso Dos Bichos]

McFadden is more talented and has done more for Scotland.


Besides, 9 times out of 10, Barry pulls out crying about an injury that mysteriously heals by his next league game... :rolleyes:

[DeeTee]

Well, since he has about 30 caps he must have been around for 300 internationals then. :rolleyes:
