CMS Turns Down team GB

I'm a bit disappointed by this. He could with a confidence boost. Couple of goals in the Olympics in front of a home crowd would be better IMHO than a straight forward pre-season would be. Presumably if he played matches for GB, he'd just play less friendlies, can't see that the fatigue/being fresh argument holds up really.

Sounds like politics to me. The Scottish FA haven't been happy with TeamGB from the start, and it looks like something might have been said to the Scottish squad.

It certainly appears that way.

Time to let them have their independence. It will stop the English having to subsidize them any more.

Fair enough. I wouldn't turn down the chance to play in the Olympics. Once in a lifetime opportunity, I doubt they'll ever be a GB Olympic football team again, unless we host the Olympics again which by then these players will be a lot older/dead.

As a Brighton fan, I'm delighted he's turned it down. I don't think it would have mattered, I would be surpised if he had made the cut anyway, but it can only be good news for us that he's focusing on next season with Brighton, and Scotland.

If they want a Scottish striker along, take Jordon Rhodes! Only 21 so doesn't use up an over 23 place either

This is good news for team GB.

CMS wants to make sure he is included in Scotland's World Cup squad, so seems like he did the smart political/professional thing by ruling himself out of Team GB.

Surely it should be a case of playing our strongest team? Why have sweaties if they are not good enough. Finding a taff or two should be fun!

Do you know anything at all about football?

So what is your point smart arse?

The jocks got stuffed 5-1 by the yanks, and Wales are a joke football nation, with the sole exception of Ryan Giggs.

Good for him! The more players that turn down Team GB (for whatever reasons) the happier I'll be.
