Perth_Campsie_Ger 18,597 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Id be happy for them not to be in the squad. The only reason Id mebey want McKay in it is once he gets a cap he is worth more Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim beam 2,188 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I would quite happy if none of our players played for Scotland ever again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Fuck Strachan. Fuck The SFA and fuck their national team. Gone are the days when these arseholes think they can treat us like a inferior club than others. As much as its obvious the players want to be involved in Scotland international setups I would prefer if our players were not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,645 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Players wish to play at the very highest level & being chosen to play for your country is important to them. Yes, Club fans may prefer it not to happen but I would prefer that Scotland choose the best 11 available to them However, Strachan reasoning means that when RFC win the Scottish Cup & qualify for Europe he should instantly offer them the option of leaving the squad ... you know, for Sporting Integrity sake Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said Mr Warburton makes a valid point so while I won't be screaming 'I hate my country' or 'Fuck this country and everyone in it' etc etc. I can say that it's appears to be a contradiction of policy/reasoning on their part that our manager is quite right to question. Yeah we should not surrender our traditional support for the national team. I agree with what Warburton said; Strachan should have qualified his comments by saying the same would apply to Rangers or Hibs players, depending on who wins the cup.

Ibroxholm 2,312 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 MW is correct in his argument and correct to point it out. IMO, would rather our players went on a well earned holiday to prepare for next season than waste their time playing International friendlies. Scotland team and whoever their playing will only be going through the motions anyway so what is the point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,569 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 MW is bang on the money, yet again! So basically the ginger minge only picked our players because the scum and sheep players need a rest to play in Europe. That is some message he has sent and very charitable of him, NOT! Our players are second best to no cunt. The wee ginger rhodent is an abject failure and he can go lick Rhegan's and liewells baws, as his colours are well and truly unmasked and we don't want our players tarnished in any way in being associated with failure and bigotry. He has made a right royal cunt of it and I hope the tartan trannies get humped from here to eternity! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point do you say 'No'? At what point do we start exerting our influence instead of clearing the road to Independence? I've ranted a little and feel like I'm on the verge of going round in circles but the just of my point should be evident by now and even if it doesn't get you happy with the idea of Scotland winning a game, you should now be able to see the world we are seemingly happy to wrongly run towards!

Blumhoilann 6,715 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Great post TIP, we gain nothing by turning the other cheek but are in danger of being run by the minority,in all aspects of life,including sports. Strachan's statement is poor and his selection of Wallace/MacKay is thoughless,especially for a couple of friendlies,I'm content that MW has the measure of the situation.

The Rangers FC 751 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Mixed feelings here. Warburton is right to withdraw our players if we gain European Football, however I want our players to play at international level as it'll only increase their value.

Great post. The way a lot of Bears have surrendered their country to the haters is bad for the club and the Union in the long run. We need to get back to being Scottish and British rather than British not Scottish. The nationalists hate that reality as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
