St Johnstone Punishment

- SJ

The frequency of internatio­nal breaks is a nuisance in many supporters’ minds. It was interestin­g to listen to Tommy Wright describing how he planned some down time for the players (the internatio­nalists) during such breaks.

I met captain Ando at Mcdiarmid on Thursday – there because he was injured. I jested with him that being injured must seem like a punishment to him and other injured first-team members when team-mates were enjoying some time off.

Tommy had a go at Zander Clark’s lack of internatio­nal recognitio­n after his performanc­es this season, suggesting it was down to the club he played for. Provincial team fans can list lots of players who only got caps after they left.
