Im glad at least to see that you haven't trotted out the "its because he's scottish" line. Very disrespectful

I don't dismiss that his nationality played a role in his selection in the past GB. That's how Darren Ferguson got games at United. That's how Valdes remains in goal for Barca. These ties do bring a bearing. It'd be ridiculous to suggest he's played only because of that, but I think it's earned him slightly more time and opportunities than would have been the case had he come from Barnsley. So I guess I might have dissapointed you after all
I don't think it's black and white GB, of course different players bring different traits and qualities to the side. But personally I think anything Fletcher brings is bettered by other players already at the club. I think O'Shea and Park are fantastic players, they are adaptable, and they bring something particular to the game. Perhaps not the worlds best, but as people so often say, you need that player type. I don't even consider Fletcher to be better than Phil Neville, and I think they play a similar role. But thats football, we all have our judgements and opinions, and I see no problem disagreeing on such issues
