Why on earth was there even a question about McGinn starting for Scotland ffs. He's their best player by a country mile. Play Villa formation, stick him on the right and let him run the game.



Genuinely stunned by those comments, nearly didn't play because *checks notes* somebody called Ryan Christie played well in a friendly against a pub team.

It's no wonder they never do fuck all

I got partway through that article, before having to google Ryan Christie

And because they desperately want to play two strikers because that's more 'attacking' because they live in the nineties.

Yeah on that theme the hero worship of McTominay as if going off to play in Serie A is still the pinnacle of club football, not flat track bullying in a weaker league.

From bit part player for Man U to title winning goal scoring midfield sensation at Napoli is pretty impressive in my book, irrespective of the quality of Serie A.

How many goals did Roy Keane score in world cup finals?

What’s this bullshit about McGinn not making the starting XI for Scotland?!?

The drop off in the shape / performance went he went off was crazy - they had no one we could hold it up, get it on the floor, and play a pass in the opponents half.

He’s only 31 his game doesn’t rely on pace his arse is far more important
he could give us another 2/3 seasons at top level if managed properly and we know he is

I hope he’s around for a fair few more seasons, even if he’s only used sporadically in a few seasons time.

He’s a good captain, I think. Which is something I’m ashamed to say I didn’t expect when he was chosen.

Arguably the other best thing Gerrard did aside from Kamara.

McGinn should not only be the first name on the team sheet, he should be the skipper as well.
