Fletcher

**hibeemikey21** · 10-12-2011 03:14 PM

Just scored against Utd and it says on the BBC website thats his 11th goal in his last 16 games for Wolves!!

Absolutely ludicrous he isn't involved for the national team. Had he not played for Scotland, I bet there would be talk of his involvement in the England squad. Bet he is kicking himself that he actually played for Scotland at one point!

***SteveHFC*** · 10-12-2011 03:16 PM

He should be in the Scotland Squad. But Harry Potter thinks Mackail-Smith is better than him.

**hibeemikey21** · 10-12-2011 03:17 PM

Fletch is English-born too

**007 Mickey Weir** · 10-12-2011 03:19 PM

Fletcher walked away from Scotland. Not the other way round. Harry Potter has stated he would welcome him back.

**Heckys Wheel** · 10-12-2011 03:23 PM

I couldn't care less if he plays for Scotland or not but definitely feel proud that he's a product of Hibs yoof.

If he keeps banging them in in the premiership, he'll give Scott Brown a run for his money as the best player we've produced in the last 30 years.

He didn't walk away from Scotland. He asked not to be considered for one meaningless game. If Potter is that keen to have him back he can give him a call, as he did with Boyd, McCulloch, Macgregor and Ferguson or whoever (to be honest I can't rememeber the exact list of all the Rangers players he went grovelling to, and the exact circumstances).

The difference between Fletcher and Levein is that tuppeny-hapenny muppets like Levein are ten a penny. We could find another half dozen tomorrow.

IMO Fletch is already the best we have produced.

Without a doubt. If Brown had the balls to move to the epl and performed once there then he may show he is as good as fletch. As long as he stays in glasgow he is limiting his opportunity to show how good he is.

100% correct

**MWHIBBIES** · 10-12-2011 04:01 PM

Wonder who will go for him if Wolves go down, would be good for Everton IMO.

Liverpool

**007 Mickey Weir** · 10-12-2011 04:13 PM

I listened to an interview with Houston who explained that Fletcher took offense at not being picked for the Czech game. Contacted Levein via his agent to say ge no longer wanted to play fir Scotland. Boyd and McCulloch both refused to play for previous manager but then declared interest again when HP took over. MacGregor and Ferguson were both banned by Scotland but the length of ban was then changed after they apologised for being dicks.

Can't really blame HP in any of this. Fletcher has shown NO interest in coming back so why should we pick him?

IMHO

**frazeHFC** · 10-12-2011 04:17 PM

I reckon Newcastle and Liverpool will go for him.

Amazing run of form atm, delighted for him.

I think he was offended at not being picked and then Scotland not playing any strikers up front.. It was like HP was saying we don't have any capable strikers worthy of wearing the jersey -even more insulting than being put down the pecking order.. I've not forgiven HP for this tactical ineptness and lack of balls :-(

**Future17** · 10-12-2011 04:37 PM

Does anyone know the record for most goals in a Premiership season by a Scottish player?

**Pretty Boy** · 10-12-2011 04:37 PM

Can all the posters who used to argue with me about Fletcher and claim Benji was a better player please raise your hands?

The best player Hibs have produced in my 20 odd years of watching.

The job of a manager is to manage!

Not just non-manage.

Not just manage the good.

Not just manage the bad.

Not just manage the recalcitrant.

But to manage.

All his staff.

HP is woefully deficient!

**Matty_Jack04** · 10-12-2011 05:12 PM

Said on soccer Saturday he's only started 23 games due to injuries and he's scored 16 goals the guys on fire

**~~Kammy1875~~** · 10-12-2011 05:18 PM

Fletch was always the best of the bunch in the eyes of John Park, even when Scotty, Thommo and Riordan was around.

It's showing now, the boy will make it to the very top. He hasn't progressed, in my opinion as much as he should have in the last couple of years but now he's back and he will move to bigger and better things than Christophe Berra and his twaty mates

What the hell are you on ? It was hp that caused this by keeping fletch in the stand in the infamous 4 6 0 game , hp should be man enough to admit his mistake and pick fletch for our next game, then we get our best striker back .

I asked the same question recently...Theyve all disappeared, or maybe stopped posting. I liked Benji too though

The Premiership only began in 1992, Dalglish retired in 1990.

None of those the played in the "Premiership".

Law was an out and out Striker and probably scored more in a season than Dalglish would have achieved but I'm sure Kenny would have still broke 20.

Andy Gray was and is an arse, IMO.

I think he already is the best of the golden generation - the only one who has gone on to cut it in the English Premiership. Broonie might have been great but he chose Celtc instead.

Good quiz question - which scot has scored the most goals in the Premiership, so since 1992 not before?

Have to admit Fletcher has proved me wrong, never thought he would make it in the EPL but think he can quite rightly claim he has.
