I think the onus may be on Fletcher if the reports were right.

***Allant1981*** · 17-05-2011 11:31 AM

How did gilks manage to get in the squad, turner as well. Gilks has been injured for months and turner is gash. Cammy bell must wonder why he isnt getting a call up.

**vanNISHtelroy** · 17-05-2011 11:51 AM

While I would have loved to see Cammy in the squad I didn't see it happening. His form seems to have dropped a bit recently.

It's about time harry potter jumped off a bridge for the good of the nation. Miserable, grudge bearing prick.

The onus is aways on the senior party to make the move. That is what management is all about whether it is football or any other business.

Just for the NI game as Wolves had an important set of fixtures coming up

It was for one game, an unimportant Keltic cup match against Northern Ireland because Wolves had a few important matches in a short space of time. I'm glad to see the decision was vindicated as far as Wolves is concerned.

**sixtwo** · 17-05-2011 12:49 PM

Potter has decided not to pick Goodwillie for 'non footballing reasons'. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Potter wants a reputation as a disciplinarian. He should maybe remeber that he once brought the game into disripute and embarrassed himself and his club when he punched his team mate during a game!

Don't get me wrong, if Goodwillie is found guilty, he should get all the punnishmentthat is coming to him.

Levein is a horrible horrible prick. No doubt fletcher and goodwillie will be replaced by englishmen with no desire to play for scotland but would like the benefits of being an international player!

**Wotherspiniesta** · 17-05-2011 01:03 PM

Whatever the reasons are for Fletcher not being included it needs to be sorted out ASAP.

He's the most in form Scottish striker and not even Craig Levein can deny that.

His absence just looks ever more ridiculous and glaring

***SteveHFC*** · 17-05-2011 01:40 PM

How the F*** did James Forrest get in the squad. Levein stop calling up English Born Players.

**Wotherspiniesta** · 17-05-2011 02:03 PM

Here's some quotes from the BBC wesbite from Levein.

"The situation with Steven is exactly the same as before - if Steven indicates to me that he wants to be involved in the Scotland national team then I'll consider him."
When asked if the door was not closed for the Wolves striker, Levein said: "He just needs to open it. I have absolutely no problem with Steven, as I've said in previous times, but really I'm here to talk about people who are selected"

**BleedGreen** · 17-05-2011 02:05 PM

I will remove my green specs for this one.

Fletcher snubbed Scotland. Fact. Via text!!!

He refused to play for his country. Many of us would crawl over hot coals for that privilidge.

It's up to Steven to realise he was bang out of order and acted unprofessionally. Nobody else. He is a big boy now. I hope for his sake and the countries, he see's sense.

He is just making himself appear rather foolish.

***J-C*** · 17-05-2011 02:53 PM

And not even a sniff for Stephen Dobbie of Swansea, playing in a top ECL club and scoring for fun.

Dobbie is 100% scottish and has connections with Hibs.

He will not appeal to potter

He was picked via text. He then sent a reply saying he wanted to be excused from that game. Why is it so terrible to withdraw by text if you're being picked by text?

It's Potter who has taken the cream puff and decided to exclude him from all games.

Im sure fletcher must be having a good laugh to himself now he has proved,as levein said he wasnt, a consistent performer at the highest level and he was praised to the hilt by the wolves chairman and fans over the last few weeks.Im afraid potter has shown his usual pettiness and of course the fact that fletcher played for hibs means there is no chance of him being picked.
Fletcher is playing even better than i thought him capable and if wolves stay up it will be in no small part due to fletchers goalscoring.Funny how fletcher is only playing as doyle is unfit.Funny old game and big mick has been very lucky in that sense although he did sign him for £7m so knew he could do the business.Fletcher should forget about scotland and go on to become a big player in the premier league and then enjoy watching levein make a hash of things.Only way i can see fletch in a scotland shirt is if potter gets the boot.heres hoping.Cant stand the guy and his bias on the radio and his ultra defensive approach to games.

and not forgetting he cheated on his wife with that all:sports PR burd whilst with hertz and leicester

absolutely nothing to do with football but i thought i would just say

***Bishop Hibee*** · 17-05-2011 03:29 PM

4-6 made Scotland the laughing stock of world football and will be the reason Levein gets the heave sooner rather than later. A fall-out with one of our best strikers won't help.

**~~Ed De Gramo~~** · 17-05-2011 04:29 PM

Potter GTF

**jdships** · 17-05-2011 04:37 PM

Interesting that only six of the squad of twenty four are home based !
What does that tell us about the SPL ?
Or alternatively about Harry Potter

No Goodwillie, Bell or Murphy aren't we are lucky we can afford to ignore inform players

Boyd packed it in but that didn't stop Levein crawling back to him. And Boyd's not half the player Fletcher is.

**BleedGreen** · 17-05-2011 05:32 PM

Some of the bias here is cringeworth!

Potter is a knob! No doubt!

But I'm not about to let that fact and the fact Fletcher is an ex Hibs man sugar coat the situation.

Potter wanted Fletcher, in spite of criticising Potter in the press after Czech game.

Fletcher snubbed Scotland. Idiot! No player is bigger than the Country. Not only did he snub us, he done it via text and not direct to Potter either!!!!

He sent it to Frank Reilly the liason officer! Incredible. Then he continued to air his views through the media. Too scared to face Potter. Pathetic behaviour.

It saddens me as I love Fletch. Would love to see him back at ER one day. But it really is his own fault here and he needs to grow up, reduce his head size, and think about the mistake he made.

Love to see him being the bigger man here and playing for Scotland again. Potter has still left the door open, time will tell if Fletch see's sense.

***Seveno*** · 17-05-2011 06:22 PM

Let's face it, Fletch is making a name for himself in the biggest league in the world. Does he need Scotland ? No.

Does Scotland need Fletch ? Yes.

If Potter wasn't so arrogant, he would do the necessary.
