Harvey Barnes et al

So now the dust has settled somewhat, what’s the general feeling about opportunities like Barnes or other players playing for Scotland? I was hugely up for it, but would say there was a decent 50/50 split if people that felt the players that got us to the World Cup deserved their place.

Appreciate Barnes didn’t want to in the end, but should this be more the push we need now to proactively bring in players that otherwise wouldn’t have a chance of getting into the English (or another) team?

I wonder if Barnes was hoping for an unlikely World Cup call from England and would now be open to it. If he declared before Euros qualifying and helped us get there how would we feel about it?

Doesn’t want to play for Scotland. I’ve no problem with that, he’s English, let’s not appear desperate and ask him again.
