Fleck and Coutts

[Roygbiv]

Don't think this has been posted elsewhere. Fleck and Coutts not included in the Scotland squad. No Bannan either.


Good news for us but starting to feel a bit for the Scots having continually shite managers picking shite players

 

[knowsnowt]

Good. Don't want any of them away risking injury.

I understand the sentiment about the Scottish team, but unless they're completely blind to our success it's only a matter of time before our dynamic duo get their call-up. Of course it'll have a negative impact on us, but if it's a consequence of success then we'll grin and bear it. I suppose, when it happens, we'll have to celebrate the guys wearing the colours of Scotland, and for Coutts especially, there was a time when it looked as if his career might have taken a very different direction, so along with many Blades elsewhere, I'll be happy for Couttsy and the wee man.

Good. That means they won't get seen or talked about in an international context or praised on Sky, Talksport etc and we won't have to put up with a thread every other day asking if we can hold onto them in the JTW or the predictable and inaccurate responses of 'they'll go if someone offers £1m'.

 

[madeinsheffield]

Playing/training with the international squad hasn't hurt Brooks

 

[Tyler Durden]

Wonder if we could put in an audacious bid for Kieran Tierney if we go up? He's been incredible at Celtic.

Probably not, but still.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

See that their friendly is being played at Pittodrie. An ideal situation for them to have picked Couttsy.

Anyway. Silly Scottish fuckwits - the San Marino of the British Isles.

 

[SwissBlade]

Odd that they’ve been overlooked but I’m sure they’ll be noticed eventually

 

[bertieblade]

Tyler, why do we want another LB?

 

[snootyfenooty]

Fucking hell I can't believe how poor that squad is. If you subtract the SPL players, who are shit anyway, that only leaves Liam Cooper and Matt Phillips who I'd consider for our squad.

 

[Grecian2000]

Fuck the sweaties. Don't want our main players tainted by playing with and under such a clueless set of bell ends.

 

[pommpey]

Scotland ... has a football team?

pommpey

Speak for yourself

I'll be happy for Couttsy and the wee man.

Me too.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Speak for yourself

Trig, if it makes Coutts aware of just how good he is then all the better as far as I'm concerned.


Me too.

 

[RammyBlade]

7 from Celtic and 3 from Aberdeen with only one from Rangers - how times change. Dont know who is in midfield but looking at the clubs they have selected from surely cant be a better pair than ours. Still as people have said at least they wont get injured !

I didn't know Carruthers was Scottish..?!

Darren Fletcher?

 

[alcoblade]

For any outsiders looking in, Scotland have nailed it.

Fleck and Coutts (I was always right about him ) are fucking shite.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

 

[Plymouthblade]

I'll take under the radar all day but when called up must be so proud for them, hard work pays off eventually, UTB

 

[stringer]

Of course it'll have a negative impact on us

What would the guaranteed negative impact on us be, having players called up to represent their country? Personally think it’s a great shame that they’re being overlooked continually.

 

[Boxer Blade]

I'm not suprised they are not in the team, have you seen that squad?

 

[blader]

LOL @ any Rangers player being in the squad over Coutts and Fleck

League 2 side, at best

 

[snootyfenooty]

Darren Fletcher?

Nah, never been my cup of tea and at nearly 34, not quite what we need going forward. Although the debilitating illness he had to come through and re-establish himself does earn him my massive respect.

I'm not suggesting we could sign him, just that I think he's more likely to get into the Scotland side than Coutts.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Shame for them personally but far better that they're not trekking over to Kazakhstan and back every other month between games. Makes you wonder what they have to do other than playing in each Premier Division........

 

[Lil red rooster]

it's incredible really that our dynamic duo can't get in in front of some of that lot.
someone's not doing their job properly,still its our gain .

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Billy Sharp’s reply on Twitter is a belter...

“Fleck and Coutts suspended?”

Oh Danny, you are so predictable......oh well, if I must.....the possibility of injury? Depriving us of the player(s)? I'd be happy for both of them as it reflects our progress, but my sole interest in Sheffield United, not whether I have to spell things out to a Junior reporter........next question at the back?

Seems that McKay has dropped a few of the regulars and gone for a few uncapped guys but sadly for Coutts and Fleck, they are strong - for Scotland - in centre mid with the two experienced lads of Scott Brown and Darren Fletcher retained. Even if one of both of them retired, you've still got a long list seemingly in front of them: James McArthur of Palace and Charlie Adam from Stoke, Bannan from the pigs, Tom Cairney of Fulham, Kenny McClean from Aberdeen, John McGinn from Hibs, Callum McGregor of Celtic and that's not mentioning Kevin McDonald! All of that long list have been capped recently - minus Charlie Adam, so I don't think we'll see Coutts or Fleck get a call up, unless we get promoted.

As others have said, it gives them a break each international break and they certainly deserve it!
