Twenty-two year old Paul Caddis has been called up to the Scotland Under 21's squad for matches against Austria and Belarus on the 3rd and 7th of September.

With us playing Carlisle away on the 4th of September, I suppose Kevin Amankwaah has a golden chance to win his place back.

Caddis was always going to be called up, but as first choice right back will probably go back into the team when he gets back. Shame really as Big Kev is a good player.

The joys of strength in depth.

Balls, my first chance to see him and he's away on internationals.

I'd rather we were playing Amankwaah than Caddis anyway.

I would like us to play both if i am honest.

Is this his first call up ?

How can it be the U-21's when the article says he is 22 ?

Milner played with the U21s til he was about 23 didn't he?

He is a regular for them he can play until the end of the qualifying/tournament.

I think he is the captain.

To qualify for U-21 they have to be under the age of 21 at the start of the tournament. So at the last U-21 world cup, most of the players were 22/23 because they started qualifying two years earlier.

I see that Dossevi has also got a call up to Togo and Bodin called up to the Welsh U21's - when was the last time we had 1 player let alone 3 players called up to international's, other than Young Billy Bodin last season ?

Fallon - New Zealand ?

Three call-ups means you can postpone a fixture right? I know doing it with Billy Bodin on such a list would be cheeky but could this happen? Although, I doubt Danny Wilson will want to go up to Cumbria on a Tuesday night!

I would see how we do the next game or two.If we are like we are now and just not clicking yet i think it would be wise to try and get this postponed.

Ooooo. I take it you're not going then.

Nope.

Selfish beggar.

The Adver site is full of rays of sunshine proclaiming that we'll get relegated because we're not postponing one game...

The club have already said they aren't postponing this game.

I think we should just play it. Carlisle aren't that good and we can avoid fixture congestion.

Carlisle are top of the league you mongder

False position, as are we.

But on current form it points to a home win.

Well I believe in the old "form is temporary" adage. We'll beat them.

Note to self: Don't buy cheap advance non refundable train tickets on International weekends. Might Pericard get a call up with most of the French squad banned?

A cert to score against his former club  :D
