    i know what you mean. i can understand it if there is nothing on but when there is a player open and he does it, it's just a waste.

    you can lump Stokes into that category as well but i think he is trying too hard at times.

    both are great players, don't get me wrong, they do need to work on their decision making as do others in the squad (not singling these two players out).

    He does frustrate me at times with his tendency to go for the spectacular, but in tough away games for example when we would otherwise struggle to break down the opposition, his tendency to strike it from long range can be just what we need when otherwise we'd have little to no penetration.

    I'm not picky.
    Really glad to see him starting to get back to the form he showed when we first bought him. He scored 14(?) I think it was (or I may be wrong with that amount) within the space of January last year and the end of the season.

    He keeps going the way he has started this season and he'll already be a contender for POTY.

    Great to see him and Sammy hit the ground running, was worried regarding both.

    Was never worried about Commons, class is permanent.

    Last night he also put in a good shift which he does'nt always do.Tend to agree that he takes on the spectacular when simple would be best.

    National team manager Craig Levein believes there are seven players ahead of Kris Commons in his position for a place in the team. (Various)
    The man's clearly lost his marbles.

    Craig Levein is a * *, and a * manager to boot. Remind me what he has actually achieved in his career so far? Has he even won a trophy, anywhere?

    What an absolute moon unit that guy is.

    I really don't have any emotion towards International Football but for Scotland's sake they should get shot of this clown before it's too late.

    Levein is a * clown. Such a bad manager and now it looks like we're going to have to wait until he blows our chance of the world cup until we get rid of him.

    Commons should easily get into the Scotland team.

    I notice Commons has said on Twitter to someone that he's resting his ankle because it's still sore from the Inter Milan game...

    Kris Commons ‏<s>@</s>kcommons15 <s>@</s>JackLHay rest ankle. Still been sore from inter Milan game



    I think he should take more time off before the CL proper if needs be. Don't want it to get worse.

    I actually just think Lennon doesnt want to be seen as disrespecting opponents or taking it easy.

    Imo if we were playing the huns today for example Rogne, Brown, Commons and Samaras would all have played, but they are "injured" :86: since its not a game that means anything with Helsingborgs coming up.

    Could not give a rats * about Levein or Scotland.

    Commons should be rested,he is needed fully fit for Europe and maybe even have him on the bench at most on Wednesday.

    If there are 7 players ahead of Commons in the pecking order for Scotland they will walk it to the World Cup. :50: The reality is there are 4 sides in Scotland's group that are better than them. Anyway, * Levein, he is playing at peak form for Celtic at the minute!

    Is there actually a quote of Levein saying that, or are we taking that off the bbc rumours section?

    Seems an insane thing to say, would like to see how it was phrased, if said at all.
