Scott7 5,233 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 So, they will miss pre-season training, be out ‘til October, play three games, have a recurrence of injury sustained on international duty, require surgery and make a couple of appearances before the end of the season but not enough to qualify for runners-up medals. You would think they would learn from past experience but putting your country before your career? I suppose that’s commendable isn’t it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,519 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Jack especially, should tell Scotland to shove it where the sun doesn't shine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,603 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Knowing our luck... "Jack tore both calves while doing sprints up sands dunes under Clarke's instruction and John Souttar ruptured his Achilles while trying to help him up. Both will now miss the full season." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malangsob 1,216 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Management should let these two know their answer. It is "thanks, but no thanks." Especially Jack...he should have let them know he wasn't available months ago. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Jack would prolong his career by a few years if he retired from intl duty. Examples being Scholes and Milner for England, both retired around 30 and kept playing at the top of the Premier League past 35. I think if it was 10 years ago he would but considering how it would be difficult for Scotland to not qualify for major tournaments with the nations league and tournament expansions he probably wants to be part of this renaissance for his country. Can't say I blame him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Graeme Ro55 653 Posted May 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2023 Ryan Jack retiring from international football should have been the deciding factor of his last contract negotiations. 🤨 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
