I respect your opinion but only because you believe in it so much, doesn't make me agree with it however. Although, you are so set on your opinion that you write it as if it could not have happened any other way
Josh, that is simply because I've run out of patience with bates. To me he's a massive baby refusing to give back somebody elses toy. He's not playing with it properly, abusing it and eventually he'll break it at which point he'll be happy to give it back. His parents won't punish him though, no they never punish their precious little boy. (The parents in this metaphor is the financial world in general).
Snoddy has not been selected for Scotland this summer, I would suggest this is due to him needing time to sort things out, as opposed to any footballing reason.
I don't follow Scottish football but out of interest who has been picked ahead of him? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-door-open-for-Darren-Fletcher-to-return.html report suggests Snoddy has a back problem.
I doubt he has any injury. The Scotland squad for the summer trip to the USA is: Scotland squad in full Goalkeepers Matt Gilks (Blackpool) Craig Gordon (Sunderland) Allan McGregor (Rangers) Defenders Charlie Mulgrew (Celtic) Phil Bardsley (Sunderland) Christophe Berra (Wolves) Gary Caldwell (Wigan) Russell Martin (Norwich) Lee Wallace (Rangers) Andy Webster (Hearts) Steven Whittaker (Rangers) Midfielders Barry Bannan (Aston Villa) Scott Brown (Celtic) Craig Bryson (Derby) Don Cowie (Cardiff) James McArthur (Wigan) Matt Phillips (Blackpool) Shaun Maloney (Wigan) Forwards David Goodwillie (Blackburn) Craig Mackail-Smith (Brighton) Kenny Miller (Cardiff) Johnny Russell (Dundee Utd)
To me it suggests Levein may have had a look at Snoddy's and McCormack's most recent form under Warnock and decided they are not hitting the heights they need to. School report: c-, must do better
Levein's an idiot, Mackail-Smith and Goodwillie instead of McCormack and Rhodes? Only 2 wingers in the squad? Then again this is the man who played a 4-6-0 formation.
He's not winning people over with his squads and his playing structure , but the media love him and that's all that matters... I fear the worst. Get Walter or Big Eck back in, just for the World Cup Qualifiers.
McCormack is atleast better than Mackail-Smith and Miller, probably better than Johnny Russell. Surpised Snoddy didn't make that list as well
