    dont understand this.. why include mccourt and mizuno in the squad who wont play unless we have 200 injuries and not an extra defender when we dont have that much cover should anything drastic happens.

    just strachan and the board being clowns and holding a grudge.. nothing more.

    plus hes surely hes better than mcmanus

    No point including him when hes not going to get picked.


    Plus he's made it more than clear that he has no interest in playing football anyway.

    O'dea Looven Mc Gary All CBs who are prob on that list. Lets get Koki and McCourt healthy, I wanna see if they can get into the squad on their own merit.

    mcmanus would be better as cover for boruc, he's gettin into a bad habit
    of handling the ball in the box.

    I think this will be a mistake,big bobo has his faults but they are just isolating him now, no wonder he dusnae want to play, i do think he should of moved oan but he'd bee betetr than mick but strachen doesn't relise this

    Would rather have him in the squad just hope we dont have an injury crisis or suspensions to cope with.

    Hardly unexpected really. Though Caldwell has his faults I see him impoving all the time. No loss

    If he was included, it would send out the wrong message to the rest of the squad.

    Not exactly suprising but once again a snub to the big man, just one in a very long list of them.:38:

    i couldnt imagine balde going this far down the rankings after his history with celtic being absolute solid during the MON era!!:47: probably a snub though by strachan.
    I still think he is a great defender but he unfortunately he has a crap touch on the ball! I personally think, he would beat anyone in the air

    Exactly the guy should be in there :50: why the * is McCourt and Mizuno in gtf. Most strikers * it from Balde whenever he gets near them, doubt Mcmanus or Caldwell have anywhere near the same effect, besides Caldwell usually gifts them the ball in the first place

    What a load of pish. :56:

    Did he tell you personally that he does not want to play football.

    Call me old fashioned bt maybe he WANTS to PLAY for the team that he is currently contracted to. :50:


    He is miles better than McManus BTW
