Talk:Barry Robson

message: The article has it the wrong way round at present. The goal was credited by the stadium announcer to Robson, but James McFadden definitely scored the goal, he slide tackled the ball into the goal. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well apparently FIFA have given the goal to the wrong man. I suppose it's verifiable but it's nuts. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, I corrected it to McFadden but someone reverted it with the FIFA ref as 'proof'. Barmy, there are far more references crediting it to McFadden. •Oranje•·Talk 09:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

text: I have added a few references to trusted news sources (BBC, The Times, The Guardian) to prove it was McFadden's goal - but then we all knew that from the television replays. Please don't change it back to Robson's goal. There might have been confusion from the live pictures but it's quite clear from the post-match write-ups. •Oranje•·Talk 09:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted to Robson because FIFA gave it to him and the press references were fairly evenly split, and I'm not going to get into an edit war over it. But, the Scottish FA have also given it to him, both in the match summary and their match report, so I don't really see how newspaper sources should take priority over the governing body of the competition and the national association? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose it is pretty divided...I don't think there's any doubt that it was McFadden's (from TV replays), but not sure how we go from here: I'm not interested in an edit war either. •Oranje•·Talk 13:10, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thing is, next time Robson scores for Scotland, all the papers will say it's his second goal, regardless of what they said at the time about the goal against Iceland, because they get their press packs from the SFA, and according to the SFA, Robson and not McFadden scored against Iceland. Doesn't really matter what we think... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reworded it a little, hope that's OK. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:46, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Goal" against Iceland 

message: I see that at some point Robson's place of birth has been changed in the article from Aberdeen to Inverurie. While there are numerous sources indicating that he did indeed grow up in Inverurie, and that it can be considered his "home town", all statistical sources I've seen say that he was actually born in Aberdeen (the nearest place with a maternity hospital, I presume). This includes the external links to Soccerbase and his official Celtic profile cited in the article, as well as publications like the Scottish Football League Review. I would presume these sort of sources would be more useful than a newspaper article that casually mentions where someone "comes from", so I've changed it back.

message: Most contracts of players in Scotland under contract expire at end of May not June as in England. As a result players can be registered in Scotland earlier depending on contract situation. It would be original research to say this has or has not happened therefore we should not be saying it hasnt because we cant prove that either way. Player registration rules are not the same in all places therefore its not good to assume that.Blethering Scot 22:24, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Wales:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13350599, Ireland:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/scotland/13590290, Cyprus:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/scotland/15610953, Slovenia: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/match-report/252031/slovenia-v-Scotland Considering it was the Scottish FA's own website that said he had played those matches, I'd think they could be relied upon to be correct. Also that FIFA link only lists matches played in FIFA tournaments, meaning it only has World Cup Qualifiers he's played in, so if you go by that he's only played three games.

replies: text: For info, the FIFA website only lists competitive appearances; they do not include appearances in friendlies.  National Football Teams gives a table listing the number of caps Robson made by year. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:00, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
