krm81 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I see that David Wotherspoon may be in line for a call up to the Canada squad, that he qualifies for through his mother. It could obviously involve a fair bit of travelling and they can't qualify for the World Cup but surely a good experience for the player and something that could benefit him and in turn Saints. Their next fixture is a friendly in June then they have the Gold Cup in July, so he would potentially miss a few of the early games for Saints if selected.

sleepless Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 well, he's got **** all chance of getting in Strachan's Scotland squad, so good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScottMann Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Was surprised at the timing of this. You'd have thought last week's game was the ideal time to get him involved although maybe it was only during that visit they discovered he was eligible!

Cagey Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Good for the clubs profile & Spoonys chances of progressing his career. The guy has the talent but can be frustrating at times because he is probably the most talented player in the squad but doesn't always make the right decision.

essexsaint Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Great for spoony and saints. As already said, no chance of getting into Scotland squad. Can only help develop him. Happy with this if it is infact an accurate story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickDT Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Really don't see how training with the Canada national squad and the travel/missed games could help us in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexsaint Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017  Really don't see how training with the Canada national squad and the travel/missed games could help us in any way. Benefit his confidence. He is a confidance player. He will thrive if being in such a set up playing potentially against much better players than in spfl. Also he will be much more use to playing abroad and training abroad which can only be good if we have ambitions of playing In Europe every other season. In a nutshell it will boost confidence and Give him a great experience playing internationally against unknown quantities. Can only benefit us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Spoony is Canadian - it’s official! Came on as a sub after 46 minutes in a one - nil friendly win over New Zealand. It was played in Spain, so at least one Saintee got some warm weather training!! HOODLUM65 and Cagerf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B.B:- Adz Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Apparently Spoony travelled over there with some Liverpool wonder-kid left back. Liam Miller. Hopefully a new network for Tommy to tap into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
