Good to see Fleck being called up to the Scotland squad again. Would be good for him to get some game time this time round and you'd think with games v Kazakhstan and San Marino, he's got a fair chance, especially with both Cairney and Kev Mac being unavailable.

Surprised to see our old friend McNulty getting a call-up. Didn't even know he was on loan at Hibs. Howver they must be scraping the barrel if both him and Piggy Palmer have been called up.

And rightly so.

Form is temporary. Class is permanent.

John Fleck is class. Make no mistake.

Well done Flecky .

[HoodedClaw]

Well, that's his performances, for us, dropping off a cliff until the end of the season then

 

[coaxingstar71]

Freeman not in the Wales squad, yet Washington called up for NI, despite not even getting on our bench now!

 

[coaxingstar71]

Egan, Stevens, McGoldrick and Hogan all in provisional Republic of Ireland squad. Final squad to be confirmed around 17 March.

Freeman not in the Wales squad

Tbh, he was only in the last one because Chris Mepham pulled out and he was moved from standby to the full squad, so this news was expected even if he’d been playing regularly for us since then.

Mark McNulty, international footballer. My oh my.

 

[DifferentClass]

The sweaties have been scraping the barrel for decades.

If you have a Scottish nannan and can kick a football, that's good enough for them.

Duffy and JOC must have some paddy blood somewhere. Get all 6 in the 11 and they'd make the Euros no trouble.

 

[RealMcCoy]

Norwood not named for NI?
Edit. Ah, personal reasons.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Mark McNulty, international footballer. My oh my.

This kind of makes a mockery of Scotland’s decisions for international recognition. They’ve accepted Fleck reluctantly at last despite being an established Championship player, and rewarded McNulty despite being abject at this level and doing nothing more than putting in a decent run in a league where in recent times Anthony Stokes was considered a top striker.

 

[Billyblade]

Personally, I'd be happy for none of our players to get called up and risk getting injured.

Suppose that's the price you pay for having players that are good enough

Scottish footballers are favourably looked upon if they play in a shite league.

Norwood not named for NI?
Edit. Ah, personal reasons.

First of all, hope he’s alright.

Are these personal reasons going to keep him out for us too?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

If people weren’t so intent on avoiding “that pig rag The Star”, they’d have known about the reasons for Norwood’s absence from the squad a good few hours ago.

McNulty in but not Fletcher. Kind of funny that!

It's not bad Dronnie, but I think you would have been better with......

John Fleck is class. Like a star in the firmament .

Good news he's been pants for a month after each call up

A huge relief – need him at his best for Chesterfield away in July.

 

[mattbianco1]

Good news he's been pants for a month after each call up

He's only been called up once

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Prior commitment means he was left out.

Just had his stag do so wedding imminent.

 

[Wards]

Yep, misses it as it’s his wedding.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Good news **** Scotland,our need is greater.

 

[Houston_Blade]

It was a bit of a conundrum for me this. I wanted him to get the recognition, however playing for a shit team with a bunch of terrible footballers and losing against 3rd world countries isn’t good for him or us.

 

[bromtom]

I'm glad in a way because it means I don't have to watch Scotland play football.

At least ROI are half decent when I watch Egan, Stevens and Didzy. Scotland are embarrassing and don't realise they've got one of their best players rotting on the bench.

I’m expecting better from Clarke. They’ve still got enough decent players to achieve a lot more than they have recently.

Didnt they struggle to beat Gibraltar
They were terrible

That wasn't a game of football. It was ridiculous.
