Written by What is wrong with today’s footballers? Twenty years ago it was an honour to be picked to play for your country. Now they seem to think it is their god given right!
Players seem pick and choose the games they want to play, and under which regime. The report that has made me blog about this is report on Kris Boyd quitting the Scottish football squad.
According to the report Boyd is not playing regular first team football at club level and although he has a history of good performances for the Scotland squad, the Scotland manager clearly feels that he would rather play someone who is match fit with match sharpness.
The problem is that football players have an exaggerated sense of self-importance. The only people who will miss out will be the Scottish fans, so it shows a complete lack of respect for the very people who probably need him!
Football players – know your place! If the manager chooses not to play you it’s his choice. It may be wrong, it may be right, but his choice is final. Instead of throwing your toys out of the pram, apply yourself and make sure that next time he has no reason to exclude you from the first eleven!
