NI invite him to multiple squads at all levels, have him training with their senior squad when he becomes a regular at top flight level, and now he's an established player at top flight level he's getting senior caps. Strolled his way through a game against Poland is widely considered Steven Davis' replacement, and is being mentored by Davis throughout International breaks. Scotland never approached him once, even when he was one of the best young CMs in the country last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales fans seems to feel he can play for them, and they've already got terry taylor (ex aberdeen now wolves) playing for them.. https://apostlewelshfootie.proboards.com/thread/7810/welsh-youth-teams-thread?page=26 He seems to have made a big impact down at Palace 23s. Sure he's captained them too. Will never forget his performance in our play off final a couple of seasons ago. 17 at the time and everything went through him. Sensational display when it mattered most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Binks would be good to if we can get him back on loan at Montreal Impact from Bolonga and playing Luke McCormick Chelsea on loan at Bristol Rovers George McEachran Chelsea might be worth getting to English haven't got him in there U21 squad Edited November 19, 2020 by Tartan Tammy 1297 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a topic for youth level, where, em, Scotland decided to call up players who couldn't get a game for County, instead of arguably the best U21 CM in the Country last season. Simply because one was contracted to Celtic. A year on and one has started consecutive games for Northern Ireland, winning MOM, while the other hasn't played a senior game since January. Our coaches rate players potential on what club they play for, nothing more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it's why you used to see a load of Celtic and Rangers youth players captaining the under 21s but no one had ever heard of them as they'd never played a first team game. Yet you knew the other players from the other clubs as they'd played against you. The amount of Celtic players who used to play for the under 21s was frightening. Yet they never played for the first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have probably been picked up by us but Xavi he is not and when we could have picked him up he was barely playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean at any point in the last 12 months when he was a regular starter at top flight level at 19/20, and was ignored for a Celtic youth who had about 3 senior games in his career and couldnt get near a County midfield containing Iain Vigurs? He only got capped at senior level this week. Scotland never approached him for any level, at any point.

Apparently Archie Knox when under the Scotland youth set up turned up for a Hamilton game, everyone thought he was coming to look at Mccarthy but he said no it was for Mccarthur despite Mccarthy being the far bigger prospect at the time. 10 minutes ago, TheScarf said: The amount of Celtic players who used to play for the under 21s was frightening.

Must have been about half a dozen players in the Scotland team yesterday that were under the Celtic set youth up at some point. I agree though the likes of Ali Mccann should have been brought in if doing it well at senior level, would also send a message to those in the youth set up to seek first team football sooner than wait till 21/22 and be well off the pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This window that Scotland missed that you're referring to was about six weeks. We should have had him in but its not like we ignored a guy tearing the place up for years, he was involved with N Ireland as soon as he was playing regularly. And he isn't that good anyway, or he wouldn't still be at fucking St Johnstone would he. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A curious thing how a young Scot, playing in Scotland, can have his potential noticed by NI and pounced upon at 19, yet Scotland didn't even acknowledge his existence, don't you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really most of the guys playing every week in SPL have turned 22 So we need to find other alternatives Call them jobbers if you want at least there playing Watt is getting games at Bradfottd to and is 20 McEachran was in U17 Euroes team of the year Edited November 19, 2020 by Tartan Tammy 1297 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
