He is, he says all Driver needs is games and he will be back in the squad .

Not sure exactly what happened here, did Fletcher txt Potter to tell him he wasn't interested in playing again? If that was the case then I would back the manager in ignoring Fletch until Fletch himself asks to come back surely that's the right stance to take!

Maybe fletch is no that bothered, he's doing the biz down south and not having to play additional (some meaningless) games probably helps

Fletcher needs to grow up , come out of his juvenile huff and tell the Scotland Manager he's been a bit of an Erse and would quite like to be selected to play for his country again.

Surely as the manager is older and wiser he could/should be able to sort out issues like this, one call is all that is required and if Fletch says no then that would be the end for him...I am sure if Miller, Caldwell of the other Fletcher declared they did not want to be selected for a particular game they would not be treated in this way.

Frankly, I'm sick of hearing this story. It's like something out of a primary school playground (if the reports are accurate, which there's every possibility of them not being). It's about time everyone took a deep breath and started acting like adults. Or is that asking too much?

As I read elsewhere qualification is far more important than two over inflated egos.
Levein isn't a 20 odd year old lad. He's a manager of the national team. He should drop the ego, and give Fletcher a call and clarify the situation. He doesn't even have to make a big song and dance about it, just get it done, and get Fletcher in the squad in time for the campaign. If Fletch says no, Levein clears himself of any blame.
Would love to see a partnership of Miller and Fletcher up front at Hampden, however I accept thinking 2 up front could win us games is a far too radical opinion for the current management team to consider

No real point in discussing this. Even if whatever silly dispute occured was resolved and Fletcher was called up to Scotland squads, Levein wouldn't play him in the system he uses. If he did make an appearance, it would be off the bench for a token few minutes.
Levein has made it clear that he feels he doesn't need Fletcher. He has Miller, CMS and Rhodes on the way through.
The only way Fletcher will play for Scotland again is under a new manager. Unfortunately, I think Levein will be in that job for many years.

Fletcher dropped out a squad and can't get a look-in, Drvier played for bloody England and gets told he just needs games. GTF Potter, ya welt.

Not condoning what Fletcher has or has not done, but there are always ways around things. As long as Alan McGregor pulls on the jersey as the Scotland manager's first choice goalkeeper, then I think it is a fair assumption that the Fletcher situation is personal.

For a manager who was desperate to get Barry the Crab and Alan McGregor back in the team after their antics under a different manager I think it's safe to say he's putting his personal pride ahead of what's best for the team here. Sour faced sack of misery.

If I recall correctly, Fletcher was never given a fair crack at the whip, even when he was in the squad. It seems that even then, being a former Hibs player scoring goals in the EPL wasn't as good as being an over-rated half-crocked Hearts or Dundee Utd player.
He doesn't really have a great incentive to make the first move, does he?

Fletcher will never get another Scotland game under Potter.
O'Connor would be another great addition to the squad but isn't aloud to on the account of the court cases. Although its ok for Bad Willie to be in the squad because Levein didn't know anything about it....

I agree that Fletch has been a plum as well...
However I would suggest that Scotland / Levein need Fletch more than the other way round....
Getting international games / recognition used to be the way to a big move...however Fletch has already made it - relatively - big and is in the biggest league in the world...scoring and picking up big wages and admiring looks from clubs further up the tree...
He is also one of the few players who can play lone / wing / withdrawn.. a great asset in a squad, particularly tournaments where numbers are restricted..
Kind of a shame MON has got a new gig, as i feel his experience of EPL / SPL and ability to create solid teams out of mixed ability players would have been worth a shout to get us making tourneys again...
