Not a bad squad all in all, a few players who i'm suprised didn't get a call but the squad / team to be picked should be good enough to beat Wales.

Riordan in the squad the same day as news broke about his latest attempted night club entry. You would think that he would mind his behaviour now he has had a sniff of scotland duty?

Will he get a chance this time though ?

Note he appears (from reports) to be working harder, but hasn't really set the heather of fire in the score stakes this season. Mind you would be a better choice than Kenny Miller.

#7 you'll be referring to a well known comedy club (no not HMFC) which isn't a member of the unight scheme which therefore he isn't banned from? Apparently he walked straight through the front door.

Riordan with his oafish drunken habits fits in well at ER. Picking him for Scotland as Burley has done merely emphasises how low the national team has sunk.

Get your facts right before you make a T I T of yourself.

Jongleurs IS a member of the Unight scheme and Ratboy now faces a life time ban.

Who care where he is banned from as long as he scores the winner AGAIN on Saturday.
