omissions
I can't believe ally mcdougall hasn't been selected. How can we possibly have a Scotland squad without the outstanding genius of Scottish hockey? I ask you. Next you'll be telling me they haven't picked any Kane brothers either...

Surely there is a comedian selecting this squad. Paddy Conlon? Craig Harper? Mansouri? Hall?
I have played with or against everyone of these players this season and have no doubt that there is far better talent out there to be selected. These players are pants!

I think one kane has retired although in my opinion never good enough and the other is beign pushed slowly out the squad! Both rubbish!
Not sure why mansuri is in the team! He's very average!

no one cares how many goals stevie dick has scored he is the only one who can score of the purple pounces. let see if the return of stotty and moodie will give Scotland the edge and do well this year and maybe get into the commonwealth games if callum woods doesn't do what he done the last time.
ps Stotty is the best player in Scotland and soon so will his little bro Ross who is one of the best youth players around just now

who are you kidding, ross will never be as good as his bro. The top U-18's just now are Micheal Christie (hoping he comes back from injury just as strong) and Andrew sinclair, soon to emerge from dickies shadow i'm sure.

Is that gordi munro from the dale? Hes a top player but got a bit of a hot head. Still though scoring 20 goals shows hes got good tallent and potential. But what district or Scotland coach has given him time of day! Its a disgrace how such a player with his undenyable pace and traction isnt in there!....................Ps...... MIM-nobody likes u + ur goin to get hosed by evryone all season. love and kisses

If that boy munro has got such a good record, why isnt he going to SA?! he can clearly slot it home from all angles when hes got 20 under his belt already this year! ive heard thats what scotland need as well.

selection
everyone is talking about the inclusion, or exclusion of the players. what about the coaching staff??? was david stott not just in charge of the junior men??? they got pumped in europe, and did not only miss out on quaification for the junior world cup next year, but were relegated from the A division for 2 years time! this is a massive missed opportunity for the next generation of players, and a huge amount of money will have been wasted as a result. so now why have the shu got him assisting with the senior men? this seems like suicide!

it seems crazy that david stott is assistant coach! over 70 thousand pounds was pumped into the u21's and where did that go-to the B division! ive also heard that he doesnt like mathias, thinks he is hypicritical, and will not listen to others opinion. so why is he working with him?

Stop personal vilification!
The views of "interested" and "on the inside" would appear to be touched with bitterness! Failed players perhaps!
Seems to me that a reality check for both would be in order - for those of us who were there as players. parents and supporters, the U21's were relegated to "B" division and failed to qualify for the JWC and yes it was painful.
Was it surprising?
No!
The squad was hamstrung by players who were "not available" and the squad selected was the best available to all intents and purposes.
Some of our players were playing week in week out at too low a level to make the transition to the quality of competition and despite the narrowing of the gap during the programme could not achieve the required results in the tournament itself.
Can you blame the coach for this?
I don't think the coaching team are to blame for the lack of depth in Scottish Hockey - of the U18 group in Hamburg 2001 very few players have made the step to U21 and the reasons for this may be the cause of our downfall. (Chris Traynor. Jonny Christie, Chris Nelson, Craig Harper, Derek Salmond, Allan Dick only current players I can remember from Hamburg - sorry if I missed anyone else!)
Spending money on its own will not give us success - Glasgow Rangers are a perfect example from football - it will come from grass roots development with identified talented players gaining experience in the highest level of competition available to them from the earliest age possible (but Scotland don't participate in Europe at U16 so it will get worse!)
Attacking players, coaches or management solves nothing - perhaps if you were to put your mind to solving the problem we might just get somewhere!

Munro
This chat of munro for the full scotland team is rediculous. Despite what he thinks (which is very highly of himself) the fact is that he wasn't good enough to play for under 18 west district last year, never mind even the under 18 scotland squad. A someone who has played with and agains him, believe me, he is nothing special at all. Has it not occured to anyone that maybe he is an average player in a good team?

munro
yeah he aint good enough for the scotland team! But after playin against him for years i finally spoke to him last week at the districts! He admits he does get hot headed on the pitch but he does not think highly of himself off it! He was a laugh and the fact that he commutes over an hour each way to play and train for clydesdale shows he has a love and passion for the sport! So bored if u play in div 1 ul be playing against him next year and see if you still think the same way

Top comments dangerous dave!
Bored...you wont be calling him average when he pops a couple past you next time you play him! He was by far good enough to play scotland u18 last year, but was not picked for the districts as the coach did not see eye to eye with him. he has improved his attitude tremendously over the last couple of seasons, and is a great guy. dont go shooting people down when you dont know them. sounds to me like youre a wee bitty scared of jobaldo taking the p*ss out of you on and off the park!!!!! thats if he hasnt done so already!!!
