With parent rule my only grievance is with Angus Gunn. England u21, twice turned Scotland down yet spookily the week after Craig Gordon had double leg break he made himself available. Clarke should have hunted him
Agree totally with that bud. For me it's country of birth or one or both parents being Scottish. It's the grandparent rule I don't agree with. My grandfather was English and lovely man but no way did I feel affinity to play for them. Just my opinion but name me one player under grandparent rule who actually done a job for Scotland? James morrison and possibly Liam cooper
In Portugal on holiday and watched it in Irish bar. Clarke overloyalty was always going to cost us.
1) Mckenna playing in la liga yet Hanley gets ahead of him.
2) Lewis ferguson outstanding in serie A yet dropped before McLean and replaced by the right wing headless chicken that is Ryan Christie. ( who has been outstanding for Bournemouth in centre defensive mid yet Clarke thinks differently)
3) young lennon should have got last 20 mins, would have given place a boost plus no pressure on him as game was finished anyway
I would take a punt its at George Hirst, capped under 17, 19 and 20 for England. Grandad Scottish. Should be nowhere near squad in my opinion. I want guys passionaite for our country, not guys only picking us for convenience
I just think mcginn didn't need to even mention it, he is a great guy and massive for Scotland. I am more annoyed with carver the dinosaur. Anyway we move on.
Wee interview with Clarke on BBC website defending young Lennon and the crazy coverage his comments got. Hopefully he had a word with Carver and McGinn then who didn't help matters. Fair play to Clarke
Ps. Dear John, I take it you then regret doing your stupid oompah German dance then not kicking a ball in the Euros. Pps. Yer still a great player though
Thank feck Carver leaving Scotland set up after these games. Talking about Lennon will learn from his comments. No-one was even thinking about it. Walloper
