Have to say Murphy has kind of proved me wrong as when he 1st joined he seemed way out of his depth and i bit my lip quite a few times at his what i saw as laziness , i think in the last 8 or so games i have not scored him below a 7.5 so im happy he has proved me wrong and good luck to him .

well done sunshine

 

[Biscuit]

Fantastic news. Well done and well deserved, Jamie.

 

[DTES]

Murphy's been bloody brilliant recently and this is fully deserved. Just don't go and get injured......

 

[LlcoolJ]

He said one of the reasons for joining us was to get a better chance to play for his country. I remember thinking that shows how far we've come!

Thoroughly deserved, he's been class recently.

Murphy: laziness? There are a few things I could level at him, but not this. He is a CH-type of player in the shift that he puts in, and has a really good engine, which is why he's rarely substituted.

Steven Fletcher (Marseille)

Still makes me titter that he is at Marseille...

 

[dazzer6666]

Well done Wjm, well deserved

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Scotch are on the up, I'd say their best XI might even make it into the bottom six of the Premier League.

Still makes me titter that he is at Marseille...

Was thinking the same! Although I have no idea how well he is doing.

Great news about Murphy - well deserved. he took a bit of time to bed in/get used to but he has been brilliant lately

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

Stop all this positive nonsense - remember where you are.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Oh great, an extra chance to get an injury.

It's like when they signed Tony Cascarino, at least then they could claim they thought he was Italian. To be fair his return for Marseille was pretty decent.

 

[Megazone]

Deserves his call up.

Reminds me of Adam Johnson (before he became Graham Rix)

This is a BONUS BONUS BONUS for me. He should have been in the full Scotland Squad years ago. Playing for Motherwell and Sheff Utd were what kept him out of the squads. I am so glad he has finally been recognised for the good player that he IS, WAS, and hopefully in the future WILL BE.

Well Done Jamie Sir

 

[Grombleton]

Another positive for us, well done Jamie.

Also very interesting to note that the Scots have named two different squads for their friendlies - Greer is one of only 4 players to make both squads.

 

[NooBHA]

Oh great, an extra chance to get an injury.

Look at his track record of games played ever since he broke into the Motherwell side around 17. He doesn't tend to be an injury prone player. Even so. It is almost every lads dream to play for their country and i for one am chuffed to bits for him

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Called up for Scotland, you say? Is he really that bad?

 

[Keith Patel]

Great effort from him, he's been brilliant recently, fully deserved!
