k-man Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I see Sir Steve has left out the Ginger Ramos for the next Scotland games, might be the kick up the backside he needs to get his game back on track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride_of_ayrshire Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Findlay may not have deserved a call up. But certainly has had a better start to the season that Gallagher or McKenna. Plus id kinda hoped Clarke wouldve picked him to work some wonders on him and gee him a kick on the arse.

Scouser2 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 He can now get back to his best form for us in the coming weeks and I’m sure won’t be too long before Findlay is back in the squad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hopefully the kick he needs to get himself back on form. Love Big Stu but he doesn't deserve a call up on current form sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Since Clarke took over he has called up Halkett, Shankland and Dykes but did not sign any of them for Killie when they were available for free. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLC Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 He was forming a really good partnership with DDF before Dyer decided to shoehorn his pet back into the team. Ramos would look like s**t playing next to Broadfoot 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Findlay doesn't deserve to be in the squad at the moment... that being said, not sure what Gallagher at Motherwell has done to be called up either as their form is on par with ours going back to last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWnnnnnn! Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Halkett was always going to Hearts, Shankland was out of our price range and Dykes flew under the radar (for most people!) Findlay not been good enough but better than these other diddies on his game. Edited August 26, 2020 by WWWWnnnnnn! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep him as far away from it as possible for 2 reasons. 1. Findlay and SOD have never really been the same since they were called up. 2. As you say, hes coming 37, picking up a stupid international injury could finish him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure shankland was out of our price range. He got a rumoured 200k sign on fee and his salary would be equivalent to 2 top end salaries. This is maybe true.. There was however, interest in brophy at the time and we also sold GT. if we had sold brophy at that time we could have funded a purchase of shankland. It’s how you manage the selling and buying process. I’d rather have a smaller squad with a few key players earning more, supplemented by youth, than a large number of players most of whom are bang average. If we as a club accept that guys playing for championship clubs like shankland and Nesbit are out of our price range, it’s gonna be a steady decline. If these guys score loads of gaols for their clubs and move on, like dykes, for couple of million, I think they are well worth the salaries and the signing on fees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are excellent players and I think that any link between perceived performance and getting capped is wide of the mark. Perceptions of SODs performances are more about the fact that he didn’t sign a new contract. Supplemented by one poor game fir Scotland. He’ll bounce back. Big Fin has made a couple of high profile errors but nothing to do with Scotland - which can only boost confidence given decent performance and scoring. The main fact is they had been playing in a super confident killie team that wasn’t losing. They had quality like bachman, mulumbu, Jones and Stewart contributing highly. Lately they were part of a struggling killie team with no such quality to dig them out of a hole after the odd error. Killie are not the same team and big Fins form has dropped in line with this. He would be a great player in a better team. But in the meantime I’d expect him to be a big player for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 I’d much rather Findlay spends the next fortnight on the training pitch here with his teammates ironing out the glaring mistakes they like sharing around to try and become a far better unit at defending, that sitting on the bench watching Scott McKenna be average in a Scotland shirt. The board also need to decide whether we can offer him a contract that’s good enough to entice him to extend, or cash in while the window’s still open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
