Roy's View From... Scotland Fans Views On John Fleck

[BettingBlade]

we would never play JF down the right because he is so left-footed (if he had 2 feet he'd be at a top six club)

so I can't imagine why Scotland did.

Which is why for the life of me I can’t understand why he didn’t just let fly with that chance against Liverpool instead of cutting back inside. I’m sure he’s not that sure either.

 

[wavy-blade]

When Fleck passed the ball to another player they lost it immediately , and when they did pass back to him it was never to his feet , it was a meter to either side of him , if they could string 4 passes in a row they might just be good enough for the Sheffield hallamshire Sunday league juniors !

 

[IOM Blade]

He was very subdued to be fair. Nowhere near the drive and energy he has for us and didn't seem to show for the ball. Putting it down to him just treating it as a bit of exercise before the main event next week.

 

[8lade]

I can't quite put into words how much I hate Rangers and Celtic.

Try 'utter dugshite'

 

[HibbyBlade]

He was no better or worse than anyone else this evening. Scotland have been absolutely abysmal over both games this international break.

To contextualise my ignorant countrymen's comments in the OP, the frustration up here is real. A team full of EPL players that perform with all the drive and enthusiasm of a hungover Sunday league team. Nobody seems immune from the curse of the dark blue jersey at the moment, even Andy Robertson has looked positively pedestrian over the two games.

It's grim stuff.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Watched the game.
Scotland are terrible. No plan, style of play, organisation....woeful.

Christie....fuck me he was driving me mad running nowhere and losing it.
Armstrong...Christ knows what he did all game.
Back 3 all over the place, McTominay there why?
Fleck kept the ball, neat and tidy, was pushed wide left then switched to the right second half. Didn’t look that fit, though half the time he’d commit forward just at the time some chump would have the touch of a rapist and lose it! He was then tracking back.
There were many players far worse.

If that’s the best they can do, he’s better off sacking that shite off. Retire from Int Footy, spend time with family and enjoy your club football. Tat goes for McBurnie as well.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Fuck em off John, Norwood fucked another tin pot side off and looked after his club and career, McBurnie wil probably do the same.

The difference being that the Ulstermen absolutely loved Norwood and were very sorry to see him retire.

 

[metalblade]

A case of spot the fans whose teams wear green and who really want to be Irish. A bit pathetic how they hate anyone who plays in England or who has links to Rangers.
Do Celtic still only sign catholic players?

 

[Yank]

I think as others have put forth, if you do not play for either Celtic or Rangers, then you do not get any respect from Scottish fans, period. I have no personal qualms against those teams myself(Have watched maybe 30 minutes total of their games combined in my life) but it is ridiculous that player bias as it were associated with those teams is the way it is.

I wouldn't say Fleck was amazing no, but he did some good things overall and was way far from being their worst player.

 

[Caveblade]

We have an office near Glasgow and everytime I go up there I shake my head at the level of bigoted fucktardery there is surrounding football.
The domestic game is a joke with 1 all powerful team, one massively shit team and a bunch of pub sides.
They live in the past, Scottish football is "pish" and their national side has been irrelevant since around 1978. The best thing about COVID is I haven't had to listen to a bigoted Glaswegian taxi driver ranting about wee Stevie or 9 titles for 6 months.

Quite this. It's just poisonous up there. I can't think of a less pleasant set of circumstances from which to assemble your footballing infrastructure. A third world life expectancy, all the sectarian shite, a massively top heavy pyramid with condemned foundations, a national stadium which conspires to be even worse than Wembley. You could drop Messi and Ronaldo into that environment and they would flounder. If I were Fleck I'd fuck it right off.

“John Fleck looks like if you asked a court reporter to draw the average man from the west of Scotland”

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Flecks been out of form for quite a while which worries me. I watched it last night and they’re not a great team, but he did give the ball away easily and always looked for the simple ball.

Ahead of the Wolves game Stevens and Fleck’s international break has been pretty bad for them and Sanders come back injured.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Come home John, fuck them sporran jockeys, we love you.

 

[mattbianco1]

Imagine being Scottish is it an act to be angry all the time or genuinely a thing?

That's interesting.

I didn't realise bigoted taxi drivers with terrible takes on foot all were just a Scottish thing.

I feel a bit sorry for the Scottish Blades when things like this are posted because it leads to a lot of bile against Scotland in general. Obviously there are some sensible Scottish football fans (the ones who support the Blades as well ) but the comments on 'pish' and 'shite' players are normally from the slack end of the educational spectrum associated with either Celtic or Rangers, as has been said a lot by others. Both clubs are a joke.

To put that in context, my Celtic fan mate text me the other month saying that they were better than Chelsea because Chelsea lost by a higher aggregate score against Bayern than Celtic did! It's the logic of a 7 year old at best.

Whats dugmeat? Is is a Scottish delicacy?

That's the mentality of them tbh think as pig shit.

 

[nicksufc]

Feels like there isn't a single Scotland player who plays in their natural position. Square pegs in round holes all over the pitch and zero cohesion. They probably have a better squad than Ireland, Northern Ireland and maybe even Wales but they get battered by the likes of Czech Republic C and Kazakhstan every week. Fleck and McBurnie are seriously wasting their time playing for them. Can only be harming their careers.

 

[bladesadviser]

Hopefully our players won't get picked this season for internationals,its going to be a tiring season so if they get the international break off it would be helpful to us

In fairness to Fleck, he's played 4 games in 5 months

 

[Caveblade]

For the sake of balance I will say I do love Scotland and I like the majority of Scots that I meet, but fans of the two big Glaswegian clubs are like parodies of themselves .

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Agreed and as we know he gets better after 5/6 games usually or in Wilders opinion when the sun goes back in.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Pardon.
Think?

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

We love you Flecky. Get rid of the Scots passport and get yourself a Yorkshire one. Leave the mountain pikeys behind and declare your allegiance to the Yorkshire puddings.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

He played for the Huns ( Rangers once ) fuck off back to England
He supports Rangers ( Ollie ) and gave our one true national team ( Celtic ) grief for losing in Europe, fuck off back to England
Unless there true Tim’s and follow/ play for the Taigs then there not fit to grace our shirt
Scotland- fuck em , sorry Scottish Blades

No but it helps

 

[The Crab]

I'm not bothered about England, so imagine the lack of shits I give about what the Jocks think
