JamboAl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I saw the replay. It was very uncharacteristic of Spoony but yeah, a red card was warranted. Maybe all those days in isolation meant he had lots of energy - just too much energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Spoony was not in the lineup for this past Wednesday's match (October 27th) or today's match. He has some kind of calf injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) David Wotherspoon may make a return to the St. Johnstone squad tomorrow.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Assuming he recovers from injury in time, it would be nice to see Spoony at Camp Poutine. The Scottish League is on break from Sunday, January 2nd to the start of the late January FIFA international window. Spoony would need to skip the Scottish FA Cup match against either Scottish League 2 side ( 4th tier ) Kelty Hearts ( the mini-Jambos? @JamboAl ) or Scottish League 1 side ( 3rd tier ) Montrose if he wanted to play against Guatemala. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelty Hearts was named after the original and famous (in Scotland anyways) Heart of Midlothian FC. They are a very good team so not an easy draw for St. Johnstone. Suspect if fit, he will not be released for Camp Poutine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an amazing opportunity for a guy from Perthshire to be in a World Cup and playing with (and against) talent he would not be able to do playing for St Johnstone. He’s just so workman like and his role with Canada is very different from his club side, where he is the creative spark in midfield. Have had the opportunity to have a drink with him in Orlando after the Nations League game; very soft spoken and a really nice guy. Hope he makes it back to make another appearance for Canada. rkomar, longlugan, Corazon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 It’s probably my fault (well, definitely my fault) but he is the player I know the absolute least about. I wouldn’t have included him in any line up or squad that I would have out together during the last couple of years. Not saying he doesn’t deserve to be there, but I have an absolute blind spot when it comes to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think this spells the end of Spoony-CanMNT with regard to our respective World Cup aspirations. We've preached John Herdman choosing guys based on form (ex: Millar, Pasher, etc...), but we've also seen him choose guys in both the 26-man and starting XI based on seniority/familiarity/integration with the squad. Herdman is also known to favour guys he is fond of, and given his continuous callings into the fold as of late, Spoony seems to be on Herdmans 'good list'. With a timeline of 8-months, that puts him at about mid-August for a return, which is just in time for the beginning of next season. With the WC in late November, that gives him 3 months to find his form, as well as get reintegrated with the team in various pre-tournament friendlies. Realistically speaking, that may be a stretch. You must also consider that you never know who will be coming down the pipe any moment, (Arfield, Jebbo, Mitrovic, Flores but probably not lol) and who could fill that off-the-bench attacking midfield/winger role quite nicely by Qatar. Herdman is going to put the best TEAM forward no matter what, so even if Spoony isn't the best in-form player then, given his experience, will he be able to help put forth the best TEAM in 2022? It will be a testament to Herdman's liking of Wotherspoon whether or not we see him in a Rouges shirt again in the not so distant future, but you never know. Possibly a Cava-esque set-up where he is kept around more for what he adds off the pitch than on, but with a torn ACL, he probably won't be doing all that travel in WCQ to promote moral support. Anyways, enough said. Wish him the best and a healthy recovery, and hopefully some quality time with family.

Shway Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Horrible news, but I hope his recovery goes well, and he makes it on the plane. He’s been through the journey, and has played his part.
