He's still an detestable tim rhat, but we can appreciate him for Scotland.

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

I've never had him in the riordan category. He's a hibs cunt but He can take the piss out of himself and that makes him likeable.

Helps when he bangs them in for Scotland as well

Same. I've not minded him since long before he was in the Scotland team, because it is genuinely quite good natured stuff with him, even at the height of his Hibs days. No comparison to the proper bitter cunts like Murray, Riordan, etc.

Edited because let's not get carried away, he's still a Hibs cunt.

[Del-icious]

Make or break for strachan at HT.

Does he chuck on a more defensive lineup after the break?

[Big Physical Acey]

Running the ball into the corner after 44 minutes.

Quoted original post for clarity on your hibs leanings.

I hate how much I like him tbh a lot of
It comes down to his appearance. If he was a big handsome bastard what would you really have to slag him about. Some striker.

[Big Physical Acey]

Phillips is so bad

[Winston Churchill]

Eamonn bannon is having a braw game

[Del-icious]

Phillips is so bad  

Aye, if you're going to pick an English player at least pick one that's better than the Scotland ones he's keeping out the team.


Must be embarrassing being English and running out for Scotland.

[Pete Seeger]

Likeable or not he's the first proper goal scorer since

He's absolutely brilliant in a Scotland shirt.

[Drederick Shanktum]

I'll go against the grain and say Phillips starts for me every single time. He's got the physicality that comes from playing week in week or in the premiership and that's something you need.

And he buys shitey frozen pizzas at Kinnaird Park's Asda.

Yeah, I think Phillips is decent too. More of a wide midfielder than an out and out winger, keeps the shape and covers a lot of ground.

What is it that people don't like about him?

Probably that he's not Scottish. I'd take a player with less ability and more Scottishness for the Scottish National team.

Graeme Shinnie is a good example, he'd run his heart out for the national team and he's very decent- should be in the squad ahead of Bannan.

[Drederick Shanktum]

I don't think shinnie and Phillips are comparable. How mcginn gets picked in front of shinnie I will never know.

[Chrambo]

McFaddens such a boring cunt.

[Roger H. Sterling]

Honestly as long as you sing the anthem correctly, have a Scottish accent, are blowing out your arse at the end of the game, and either raging or elated at the result, I'm happy. Ability helps of course but those should be the primary reasons for getting a call up.

I've no idea what Shinnie has to do to get in that squad ahead of Bannon & McGinn.

On the subject of Griffiths, I agree with Begbie, he's nowhere near the levels of hate I have for proper Hibs scum like Riordan & Murray.

Even Scott Brown gets my seethe going more than Griffiths, must be something about the latter actually giving a shit about the national team and not just picking and choosing when he can be arsed.

[Roger H. Sterling]

I'd also ban any player who's ever shown even the slightest interest in playing for England.
