ABERDEEN keeper Jamie Langfield has been called into the Scotland squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Iceland.

 

Langfield has been drafted in by George Burley as replacement for Norwich City’s David Marshall who has had to withdraw due to an injury to a knee.

 

The 28-year-old received the call from Burley late last night and rushed to join the squad at their base at Cameron House Hotel, Loch Lomond.

 

Langfield was previously selected as a squad member by former gaffer Alex McLeish during the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.

 

But Burley confirmed there is no way Langfield will see competitive action in the two away qualifiers.

 

Burley said: “Craig Gordon and Allan McGregor are obviously the keepers battling for the No.1 position which is fantastic for us.

 

“If we had that level of competition in every position in the squad Scotland would win the World Cup.

 

“McGregor greatly impressed during the 45 minutes he played against Northern Ireland where he really commanded the position.

 

“It is fantastic to know that if one of them becomes injured I have another top class keeper to call on.

 

“At the moment Craig Gordon is in command of that position because he has been terrific for Scotland over the last few years.â€

 

Rangers right-back Kirk Broadfoot has also been called up as Burley prepares for his first competitive game as national boss.

fuck me

ricky foster will be next

in fact maybe I should dig out my boots

bloody kirk broadfoot 

 

no way should he be in the squad

Good for jamie. Burley should be loched up for picking broadfoot.

 

If I had a pond for every aberdeen player chosen I would have 1 pond.

 

I guess we will sea what happens.

 

 

(mizer had written aquad instead of squad) 

 

 

Ness?

I never realised Langfield signed for Rangers last night. With no goalkeeper, we're sure to struggle this season.

 

(That is what happened, right? Burley doesn't pick Aberdeen players).

better

better

 

Berti Vogts in fairness is the only one recently i can remember that did

Well done Clangers! Burley must have been drunk, does he not know the Scotland's manager's rule is NOT to pick any Aberdeen players 

 

Was he not involved in the squad recently though?

Aye he was in the squad for the Faroes game last year.

Well done Jamie.

 

Well done Jamie.

 

 

Aye well done, ya ignorant prick.

Saying that, being 3rd choice keeper with Scotland is a bit like being 3rd choice kitman...

 

Should be good for his confidence though, another string to add to his bow and all that.

 

Good luck Jamie. 

anyone notice davie weir has dropped out

It'll probably be an improvement.

Oh no what will we do without him . If he's picked again then must be two monkeys dancing in Burley's head or something else going on in there

I was working at Cameron House today which is where the team are staying before they fly out so I got a chance to congratulate clangers on his call up

Did he say thank you or was he ignorant?

He said thanks, then he tried to touch me down below. 

What's all this ignorant stuff?

He must have been pretty grateful. Your ok though yeah?

Well done Jamie.

 

 

I concur 

 

Your kicking is still total shite, but I'm glad George read my MOTM v St Mirren vote post 

He must have been pretty grateful. Your ok though yeah?

 

Yeah, he has big hands though. 

What's all this ignorant stuff?

 

Completely blanked Funster and Disco outside Rugby Park when they tried to start a friendly conversation either last season or the season before.

They should try being interesting next time

He said thanks, then he tried to touch me down below. 

 

Lots of comedy references to dropped balls must have ensued ?

Yeah, he has big hands though. 

Did he drop your balls? Fuck ya Ajja! Got in there before me!
