rock bus 854 Posted September 1, 2017 Is Hanley playing? Bloody hope he doesn''t get injured... that''d be just are luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hampton canary 24 Posted September 1, 2017 Hanley, Naismith and ex canaries Whittaker and Chris Martin all on the bench. I guess if Martin was taking pain killing injections at Norwich recently then Strachan will not risk him and save him for the bigger games (only joking). They probably included him in the squad as he is a good man to have in the changing room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 1, 2017 I don''t expect our recent form has anything to do with it.Although to be fair, they did play poorly in the home fixture and all of them played then I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarycop 206 Posted September 1, 2017 Can''t agree more. Awful to watch. This is supposed to be the generation to excite fans. Think I''ll go to bed it''s that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 1, 2017 Could somebody tell me what Henderson brings to the England team? And captain as well?We know Sterling was a one season wonder.If ever a game cried out for three strikers and pumping crosses in its this one. People might say it isn''t pretty but what we are watching is just awful mindless rubbish from a clueless manager and overrated players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Edwards 2,254 Posted September 2, 2017 The thing is, Russell Martin IS an international centre half. He''s got the caps to prove it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,777 Posted September 2, 2017 Baldyboy good to see that you have teamed up with Making Plans who posts that he hopes the injury Russell Martin has will be long term !Beyond words the pair of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 0 Posted September 2, 2017 So where have I said I hope he''s injured? Come on show me, I questioned whether he was an international centre back as did you, but it''s ok for you to do it!Please feel free to tell me why you have an agenda with me Plod, no need for another thread you can even put it where you quote that I wish Martin was injured!

TIL 1010 4,777 Posted September 2, 2017 May i suggest that you read my post again because i said that you have teamed up with Making Plans who hopes the injury will be long term. Try and grasp that before you go off on one Baldyboy. Just for your information i retired in 1994 so in your haste to make reference to me as Plod you could not even get that right.

Baldyboy 0 Posted September 2, 2017 So why do you assume that I have teamed up with anyone? Are you implying that I''m not capable of commenting on something of my own free will?You are the one who caused the angst with your incorrect assumptions, so if somebody agrees with you are you teaming up with them?At no point would I ever wish a long term injury on one of our players!You disrupted the thread by posting a response saying it was a Russell Martin bashing thread when at no point was that what I was doing, I asked a question, something I expect you did before you retired in 1994, so did anyone ask you if you were bashing the person you asked about? You are the one who ought to think before posting 5hite about bashing players instead of assuming there''s a hidden agenda all the time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,777 Posted September 2, 2017 So talk of Strachan finally seeing the light was not having a pop at Russell Martin then ? You could always have put that on any number of threads where the merits of his playing ability were/are/have been discussed but you chose to start another. Was that really needed ? No agenda against you put if you put yourself in the firing line by starting thread you obviously were only expecting nods of approval over what you posted ?

Baldyboy 0 Posted September 2, 2017 It was about Scotland and so by my asking a question whether he''s an international centre half, something you actually also agreed on a little while ago is enough for you to quote it as a Martin bashing thread!Somebody has stated he''s injured so doesn''t that prove it was a relevant question?As for putting it on another thread, which one would be relevant as there are so many it could go on although the last one was about him being booed and this is nothing about that, is it, this was about Scotland!I didn''t realise threads had to be categorised!
