Scotland/International Goals[edit]

A table for all of McFadden's goals for Scotland keeps being added to this page. I believe that this is unencyclopaedic and therefore unnecessary. If an international goals table was added to pages for other players (e.g. Michael Owen) pages could become unweildy. Dancarney 16:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A few players have a list of all their international goals, including Kenny Dalglish. Swaddon1903 (talk) 16:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tempted to remove the fact that on his introduction area it sates that his famous goal that goal was against France in the European qualifying stages for 2008 that all being well and good but the guy's a striker he's payed to score goals should we list that fantastic volley Wayne Rooney did for Man U seasons past there is no reason for it to be there.

According to the cited sources, Archie Gemmill thinks it was more important than his World Cup goal, and the Scottish Football Museum think so highly of it that they're having a giant photograph of it on permanent display at the museum entrance. That's quite enough to justify its position in the article. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:12, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who's Archie Gemmill to say what goes on at Wikipedia? The museum of football that has no respect at all! How many football fans visit the attraction? Don't be bitter I'm a B'ham fan as well but it's not needed in the article. Don't say cheers to me either I'm certainly not a friend of yours. 83.104.51.181 (talk) 17:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rumoured move to Birmingham[edit]

a rumoured move to Birmingham is being banded about. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 05:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Goal" against Iceland[edit]

The article has it the wrong way round at present. The goal was credited by the stadium announcer to Barry Robson, but McFadden definitely scored the goal, he slide tackled the ball into the goal. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well apparently FIFA have given the goal to the wrong man. I suppose it's verifiable but it's nuts. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was me that added the most recent version of that goal to the article, I went by the order of reports on the FIFA site. The earlier one (from AFP) gave it to McFadden, but the official version gave it to Robson. As do the SFA. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 22:02, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fifa and SFA have clearly got it wrong at least if Wikipedia change it it will be the only accurate source, I honesly cant believe its been credited to Robson after TV replay its clearly Mcfaddens goal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.10.100 (talk) 12:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
