Bridcutt in Scotland Squad

[Falmer Flutter ©]

Classic example of somebody who watches football, but knows absolutely nothing about it.

Christ, this refers to at least half a dozen posters on here.

Great for him, It'll be good for him to mix with those Scottish internationals, that one who plays at the back who plays for that team..the name just escapes me and the one up front he's good isn't he?

i think that is a bit of a conservative estimate...

That reminds me, where IS Uncle Burns?

Not a good move as i would have expected him to get an England calling in the next year or so. How did he qualify for Scotland?

his cousins friends dogs owners next door neighbour has a friend who once went on holiday to the highlands. He qualifies through once meeting him in mcdonalds whilst buying a sausage and egg mcmuffin

Strachan just gave him a BIG thumbs up on 'Talksport' news.

[Wozza]

really hope they don't start referring to him as a 'scot', like the media does with CMS...

Out of interest, how do you refer to our 'Spanish' players?

 

[kevtherev]

Bridcutt is about as Scottish as a Chicken Madras. Should suit their no scoring tactics though....I personally think Bridcutt is the best DM in the championship and one of the best holding midfielders we have ever had. However I do think his sideways, backwards and general lack of urgency one of the main reasons, we are so negative. We should play 4-1-4-1 to get the best out of our flair players and not detract from Bridcutts natural defencive game.

The view from Scotland...

Squad - Bridcutt Called Up - TA specific - Tartan Army Message Board

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Which relative owns a kilt then?

Why is this good news?
He is no more Scottish than maggie .

Ah Liam McBridcutt from the clan McBridcutt!! Better learn the words to Flower of Scotland Bridders!!

Bridcutt is about as Scottish as a Chicken Madras. .

His Grandfather is Scottish. From Edinburgh

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Unlucky Bridders, Scotland's a shit hole...

All of it?

 

[jonsey]

I can confirm I just saw Strachan talking about this on SSN.

Heard part of an interview with Strachan and out of the new players in the squad he was the main topic of the interview, great player for the Albion and probably the best in the league in that position

And half of London's grandparents were born in the West Indies, but the still claim to be English...Apart from when the Cricket is on lol.....Ok so Bridcutt has a Scottish grandad. That still doesn't make him Scottish.

 

[Lurker]

Here's a possible small claim to fame for you ....

My boy does a day release type thing from his school, and works one day a week at a local employer.
Craig Strachan (one of Gordon's sons) works at the same place.

Football is an obvious topic of conversation most of the time.
A few weeks ago Craig asked my boy who his Dad supported.
"Brighton" ... says my boy.
"Don't know much about Brighton" says Craig, "Got any good players?"

"Liam Bridcutt is absolute quality every time I see him play" says my boy.........

7 or 8 weeks later .... Craig's father announces that Bridcutt is in the Squad!
Did Craig mention him to his dad?
Did my boy have a hand in Liam's selection?
Who knows ...... but my boy is convinced it is all down to him!!!

i like these from that forum....

[bridcutt] sounds suspiciously english


More suspiciously they have Craig Mackail-Smith as English, despite having six caps for Scotland.

Has this Birdcup, Breadknife or whatever his name is actually stated he wants to play for Scotland? Has he explained the family link etc,.? If not then what are his motives for accepting a Scotland call up?

He can just be MacBridcutt for the day

On a different note, it looks like Kuszczak has been called up for the Polish national team as well
