Subject: Scotland v England

I thought that with this being a special match that we should open a new thread.
Hopefully everyone is aware that this match will be used using our competition winners players and it was all about trying to get more interest in the NT and bringing more Scottish (and Belgian) managers to the forum. Hopefully it worked, even if just very slightly.

Anyway, from our two competitions we have this list of winners who should each nominate a player to feature in next weeks game, if you haven't already done so then please let me know what player you wish me to use.

langhe.....................Done, Keeper nominated :)
stevierob.................Done, Striker nominated
Dandy.....................Done, Mid nominated
runriglovinjambo......Done, Def nominated
-Zack-.....................Done, Striker nominated
Rabb27....................Done, Def nominated
Mikey9Points............Done, Mid nominated
Strider 80................Done, Striker nominated
Elsoopremo..............Done, Def nominated
Qpeg.......................Done, Def nominated
Suttie......................Done, Mid nominated
Diessel....................Done, Mid nominated
Deezi......................Done. Mid nominated
Gypsy King..............Done, Striker nominated


I'll discuss the match once we have raised a team :)

Also, England ran a competition of their own which produced 2 winners, wdp74 and Doughnut Jimmy. They will pick the England team for this match using only players that have came through their own Youth Schools. As long as neither produced Steven Gerrard we should be able to avoid a hammering :)

Its good how u get everyone involved mate and how you like to hear everyones opinions

in my mind thats why you are doing such a good job and why you are well liked and respected as manager of our national team

keep up the good work mate

Stevie

Cheers Stevie but Well liked?

I could show a few sk mails that would surprise you :)

I only have one player that does not already have a cap that could be even remotely considered.

Finlay MacDonleavy, age: 19
good form, weak tactical discipline


average stamina hopeless keeper
formidable pace hopeless defender
solid technique unsatisfactory playmaker
unsatisfactory passing good striker

So was I you I'd probably be inclined to ignore me, (in this instance.)

Looks like we've found our keeper :)

Actually we have worse than him playing. 45 minutes i reckon he'll get.

those mails were private and you promised never to talk about them ever again :)

unless you mean some other mails in which case were is the delete button.

Lol :)

reekie yer an iron fisted dictator , they all hate ye :(

The delete button was exactly what i used.

Those other ones, i printed off and framed :)

Ok, So far we have 12 players put forward.

4 def
4 mid
4 strikers

Just waiting for nominations from

Mikey9points
and langhe, who is still trying desperately to buy someone :)

I reckon that i know who Mikey's player will be so langhe, we're relying on you to buy a keeper :)

Tom MacDuffie (Midfielder)

have a look at the TL, there is no keeper!, unless you want a 'poor' one? :p

u can buy this lad from me langhe :)

Ben Gow, age: 23 club: AFC POLMONT, country: Scotland
value: 151 800 £, wage: 1 515 £
divine form, good tactical discipline


average stamina average keeper
OUTSTANDING pace poor defender
hopeless technique unsatisfactory playmaker
EXCELLENT passing hopeless striker

Lol

I saw him.

I nearly sent you his link earlier..nice pace and passing though :)

had a 1 euro bid on him, but some idiot polish manager overbid him :(

Mikeys nominated a mid, so just langhe now.

4 defs, 5 mids, 4 strikers nominated.

Langhe has very kindly nominated a Scottish keeper to play as he still hasn't managed to sign any Scots :)

This now gives us 14 players who are all scheduled to feature. I'm going to use a managers pick to put a young 19 year old keeper on the bench with no orders to come on but better safe than sorry.

The team and tactics have now been set, if anybody has a nominee injured in tonights cup matches, please send me an alternative pick asap.

As long as there are no injuries or red cards then all 14 picks will feature for at least 45minutes (3 subs) Only an injury to the keeper will screw things up completely. Injuries elsewhere will possibly mean players playing out of position. One or two already are due to lack of options :)

Here's our squad picked by you.
