manc_don Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Roy Hodgson is set to call Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, 20, into his England squad ahead of the World Cup qualifier. At least that would end his links with Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets are £25 (plus £6.50 fulfilment and postage) and will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday 9 October via www.scottishfa.talent-sport.co.uk Due to the tight timescale involved, all tickets will be posted on Tuesday using Royal Mail Special Delivery.

dave_min Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Fletcher says stuff & things: http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=2986&newsID=10738&newsCategoryID=1 EXCLUSIVE: Fletcher focused on international comeback Monday, 08 October 2012 Steven Fletcher resumed national service yesterday and immediately set his sights on helping Scotland reinvigorate their FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 qualifying campaign in Cardiff and Brussels next week. The Sunderland striker has returned from a well-documented two-year hiatus. He will take part in his first training session of the campaign today and admits he is eager to make up for lost time. “I am just happy to be back as part of the squad and looking to make a positive contribution in what are two massive World Cup qualifiers,” he said. “I had a good chat with the manager when he came to visit at the training ground last week and it while it was important we discussed the past and put it to bed, it was more important that we focused on the future. “I understand why people want to know what changed but the truth, as the manager said last week, was that the situation wasn’t helping anyone. I am a proud Scot and it is a privilege to play for my country. Everyone knows it has been too long since we last qualified for a major finals and I want to do my bit to help us reach Brazil.” Media interest has focused on the genesis of Steven’s return but the man himself is more concerned with enhancing his burgeoning reputation still further by adding international goals to his free-scoring form in the Premier League. “The manager touched on how the situation came about last week. I am desperate to play for Scotland again and, like Craig, I regret that it has taken this long to come about. I’m sure we have both done a lot of thinking during the last two years but the country comes first. “I think it just became apparent that we all needed to move on. The most important thing is that I can look to restart my international career. When I first spoke to Craig again it was fine and was not awkward at all. We both said our piece and agreed that whatever happened, the country comes first. “I am a more experienced player than I was two years ago and I am delighted with the way things have gone at Sunderland. The manager [Martin O’Neill] has been very supportive, as has Phil Bardsley – who is gutted to be missing through injury. “It was good to see the players when I arrived yesterday. I am sharing a room with Scott Brown so already it feels like I have never been away and feels like I have been here for a week already.” Steven is now in contention to make his return in Cardiff, with victory against Wales the objective to reinforce our qualifying credentials before a trip to play Belgium. “We are in a tough group but we have a squad of players who are playing in the Barclays Premier League every week and guys who are gaining valuable Champions League experience with Celtic. “We will be going to Wales looking to win and there is no point looking beyond that game. Our supporters will be there in their thousands and we need their support to put ourselves in contention in the group. I can promise them I will give everything I can along with the rest of the squad to qualify for Brazil. “Playing in a World Cup finals in one of the most famous football nations in the world is the pinnacle of any player’s career and I am delighted that I have the opportunity again to help take Scotland there.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_min Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Oooft just googled that, I'm in about that. Despite quite clearly being a tourist trap and being a little bit more expensive than most other pubs round that area, it actually is a pretty decent bar(s). I'd go as far as to say it's the only place i've ever been in Brussels that I didn't think was pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, got the opposite impression. Our meal choices were limited because it was all booked for work but we had mussels at la Rose Blanche on the main square and they were excellent. Kaasmarkt was a bit like Sauchiehall Street in the sense it's got a few pubs on it and late night food stops but it was mobbed so I just enjoyed myself people watching. If you want to go to a good nightclub, head to Fuse. Was out til 03:30 and 06:00 on Friday and Saturday respectively. Awesome place to go out!

Maybe I need to arrange a trip there then! That's insanely cheap for a club, having said that, I can't recall paying silly prices in clubs in NL either.

Jute Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Snodgrass and Rhodes out injured and Commons in. With the return of both Fletcher and Commons I would guess Harry Potter has been told his job is on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to get excited about this. 17 more minutes of work, then off to Cardiff the morn. Wales 0-0 Scotland Belgium 0-0 Scotland is my (optomistic) prediction! (ps If you're going to Malta, fly from Brum. £35 represents excellent value) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Just packing now. No idea on how the games will go as I have no idea who Harry Potter will pick or how he will set team out. I suspect Harry does not either. Looking forward to Belgian beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that, seems like he hasn't been out of the news lately, quite impressive for a player who's yet to actually get a game this season. Nice to see an Aberdeen player getting a cap for a Scotland match I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
