So when Hibs are crap, all discussion on other football should cease?

Another Englishman Matt Philips joins the Scotland squad!!!!

If S Fletcher wants a game for Scotland he only has to say sorry.

Of course man ..theres threads having a pop at Fenlon, Spoony, Stevenson, Billy Brown, Stack, East mains, The Singing section (now closed) Garry O's face painting job & Garry O's ever expanding girth ....& much much more ..

[Sylar]

I couldn't help but laugh to read that Levein is expected to give Craig Gordon a call-up for the upcoming friendly against Slovenia, having spent pretty much all of this season on a treatment table.

We need our best players playing for us and the Fletcher saga is beyond ridiculous.

bottom line is hp is being paid good money to do a job foe the sfa. Letting his ego get in the way means he's not doing the job to the best of his abilities.

aye right, SF will never play under potter, whether he was to apologies or not. Not that he has anything to apologise for mind!!

[matty_f]

Steven Fletcher : asked to be left out of the squad for a friendly.

Andy Driver : ditched Scotland to actually play for England U21's.

Which one did Harry Potter recently say he wanted in the Scotland squad once he's playing regularly?

I'll give you a clue - he's pish, plays in the SPL for a team that struggles to pay players.

Harry Potter is a ******* welt.

He's not been asked to apologise. All he has been asked to do is contact the SFA and make himself available again. He does not even have to contact levein himself. If that's to much for him then that's too bad.
And those complaining about another
Englishman getting a call up should remember that Fletcher is English as well.

The only team you need to worry about from Manchester is the team who is currently top of the league... At least worrying about them is somewhat enjoyable...

Wrong! I dinnae need tae worry about or give a toss about any of them.

Perhaps I should have put one of these on my original post.

[Future17]

He's taking a risk in not picking Fletcher - one which may eventually cost him his job. It all depends on whether we score goals without him. His stance with Fletcher is one thing, but he has claimed previously that players need to be playing and on form. His choice of "forwards" for this game is:

Milller - hasn't scored in his last 6 games.

Mackie - scored 2 in his last game, but prior to that hadn't scored since December.

Goodwillie - Scored 4 goals since moving to Blackburn in August. 3 of those were practically accidental and 1 was after he blocked his team-mate's goal-bound effort. Doesn't look fit.

Mackail-Smith - 1 goal since November.

Worrying.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

So thats 7 Englishmen in the squad:

Martin
Gilks
Phillips
Morisson
Mikael Smith
Mackie
Bardsley

GTF Levein.

I genuinely think SF should just bite the bullet and tell HP he's available again. No apology, just I'm available.

However, on reading your post I can find no argument to your logic and am in complete agreement!

Fletcher has stated publicly more than once that he wants to play for Scotland and also confirmed that he did not ask to be left out of future squads. The fact that Potter is choosing to ignore this because he hasn't personally been contacted with a groveling apology, and is meanwhile calling up a bunch of Englishmen really sums him up, a pathetic, petty and arrogant man, the sooner he is away from the national team the better.

[QUOTE=hughio;3122689]If S Fletcher wants a game for Scotland he only has to say sorry.[/QUOTE]

for what exactly

[one day maybe...]

A quote from the Guardian 15th of Oct last year, Craig Levein

"This is the critical bit. If Steven Fletcher – and I hope he does – wants to come back and play for Scotland, he won't be treated any differently to anybody else, provided he stays within the guidelines."

The ball is firmly in Fletcher's court. Thus far, there is little evidence of him being inclined to return it.

As has already been quoted by others all SF has to do is say I want to be considered for Scotland to the SFA and the ball is then in Potters court.

Ps. I am not sticking up for Harry Potter here, his conduct in this is just as bad, but he is the manager and he has said what he feels has to be done by SF.

Backing down now, on that stance would undermine his authority.

[Velma Dinkley]

Fletcher is already being treated differently to everyone else. Levein's comments continually baffle me

[YehButNoBut]

Only picking 4 forwards for the squad says a lot about Leveins approach to the game. :giruy:

Levein is a twat.

[Drewster]

Managers pick squads - players don't pick themselves!

If Mr Levein wants to select one of Scotland's best young strikers in his squad
all he needs to do is ask if he is available for selection?

Instead he has chosen to ignore this talented young player (who made a mistake,
along with others who are now selected - Charlie Adams - in criticising the manager)
so that he can be seen to winning a petty, pig headed victory against a young boy
who is scoring in the EPL most weeks???

No wonder Scottish football is suffering if this is one our role models?
