Scotland call ups (merged)

[Leitherhibs]

Strange that some old firm players haven't been called up at all, when you conisder some get called up jsut because they played for the OF, the likes of Charlie Adam, Chris Burke, Craig Beattie all got call ups under smith and mcleish.
Then you have players like.. Kevin Thomson, Mark Wilson, Stevie Smith who dont despite the fact the competition/roles are some of the weaker in the squad.
How Jamie McAllister always gets a call up is beyond me when he is blatantly never going to be played much rather a youngster got a chance and experience of international club football, Lee Wallace should be in there without a doubt, yam or not. Riordan should be too, without any doubt. One thing Berti Vogts wasn't scared of was calling up someone regardless of who they played for bad thing or not.

i was thinking on saturday with mcmanus being out injured for x amount of months and only played 2 and a bit reserve games in that time, do we have any other decent defenders?I was thinking and thinking and bang, what about Ian murray? i know he has been suspended but least he played the tail end of last season and had a pre season

as above why have deeks not been in with a shout?

We have a sh !t manager in Burley.
Also IM played in the cup game so he has had more time on the pitch than that useless Mcmanus but then IM doesn't play for the infirm.

McManus is a better CH than Murray, and a couple of inches taller to boot. Being objective here, Murray isn't great in the air, and Macedonia were using the wings at every oppertunit as it was.

As for Riordan, if he keeps his game at the same standard as he has set in the last couple of games - especially his newfound energy - then he'll get his chance in Japan. However, he's earned himself a poor reputation in terms of work ethic, and will have to shine twice as bright to get noticed.
