    I've always thought Shinnie and McGinn would be a great destructive and creative pair in front of the back four. That's the thing about this Scotland ****show, there is talent in there. Not exactly lions led by donkeys, but not far off. ****ing ginger Judas donkeys.
    I dont understand all the posts saying Shinnie is a "fantastic" player. He is a spoiler who wanders around the pitch kicking the oppositioin and appears to be invisible to Scottish refs.

    I would call him a few things but never fantastic - At SPFL level he is good he would never get near an international squad if I was picking.

    I suppose we should be grateful he is busy with the SFA and not us.

    Don’t be too down, I hear Ernie Walker’s think tank will be reporting before the end of the year with all the answers !
    Maybe he'll recommend getting that dodgy Dave guy at Sevco to come out from under
    the table and officially running the show rather than doing it by smoke and mirrors?

    He's already passed the fit and protestant person test.

    He's a very influential player - when he is missing Aberdeen go to pieces. Our only decent results against them in recent years have come when he's been missing.

    Exactly the type of player you need throughout your team at international level.

    That boils down to so much more than lenient refereeing.

    maybe I am too influenced by his woeful game against Kazakistan albeit it was at leftback. Nobody was good for scotland that is the tragedy.

    He is a decent player no doubt but he's pretty much played centre midfield for the past 3 years. He's not a left back anymore and he struggled badly.

    I'm not defending his performance last night - it was a few levels below garbage.

    He's played well against Hibs at LB before although not for a few years.

    I just think he's a good player and worthy of a pace in his best position for our national side.

    Put it this way, in spite of how last night played out I doubt that Kazakhstan have better in that position.

    His best attribute is his ridiculous engine, up and down the field all game with no appreciable drop in energy levels.

    If Hibs could sign Shinnie or one of
    Forrest, Fraser, McTominey,McGinn,Snodgrass,Armstrong,McGregor,Burk e,Allan,Henderson,McGeoch

    How many times would you pick Shinnie and yes I know they are not like for like.

    I've probably seen more of Shinnie than the rest of them, but -

    Quite a few.

    Yes, honestly.

    McGinn and Shinnie are excellent, energetic box to box midfielders.

    I am glad we have a new manager on a long contract
