SpecialK Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I would love to see the whitecaps try to get him. He would be a great addition. I bet he wouldn’t cost that much. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 He was man of the match this week for St.Johnstone. Often forgotten, we are very fortunate to have him in our depth chart for the National team Shway, johnyb and Longrange 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Although he didn't look good in his few caps, we'll definitely need his leadership and experience for a gruelling year. Longrange and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 He actually has the highest average rating on St. Johnstone this year, according to WhoScored. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Yes, he's been very good this year despite flying under the radar. A must call up for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Its a contract year, and they are trying to tie him to a new deal right now. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 No doubt he gets used this year if we play all the games we are supposed to. Could be a good Gold Cup squad member. Longrange and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Another excellent performance in the Betfred League Cup semi-final vs Hibs which the Perth Saints won 3-0. He flighted in the corner for the first goal. gator, Olympique_de_Marseille and Watchmen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 He signed an extension until 2023. He flies under the radar but he's having a solid season. A must have depth midfielder for WCQ who will be in season form when it starts. Corazon, Obinna, gator and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Played a full match today with a trophy, the Scottish League Cup ( Betfred Cup ) on the line. EDIT: They won the match and the cup. Reminder: Spoony won the Scottish Cup with St. Johnstone in 2014 but the club had never won the League Cup before. ------ I think he will get the call for March. I have a feeling that certain players will only stick around for the first match vs Bermuda and others like Spoony might stick around longer to play match #2 vs the Caymans.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/rising-through-ranks-david-wotherspoon-23828169https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/david-wotherspoon-starring-canada-ball-23845754https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/john-herdman-finding-david-wotherspoon-23884900 3 interesting articles on Spoony in the Daily Record (mostly the last one). In that third article, I find it disingenuous of Herdman that he makes it sound like he personally recruited Spoony (almost from scratch) when it is well known that Spoony spoke with Arfield first. Surely there was CSA contact (and possibly from Zambrano) first! This thread was started in March 2017 and Spoony's first match was during the international window in March 2018. Also, Herdman was announced as Head Coach in early January but didn't speak to Spoony until a month later (February 2018) according to the article! Why the wait? I'm not anti-Herdman like @Unnamed Trialist but this all seems a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Edgar also took a lot of the credit during the broadcast. Said it was he and Arfield who convinced him. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 No doubt that Arfield and others tapped up Spoony to play for us. And maybe JH was working the phones even before he became the CNMT manager. Does it matter? I wonder if sometimes we read too much into these things. An Observer, red card, Ruffian and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke on the broadcast (and that Edgar made in the past) is that Edgar convinced Arfield to join and then Spoony reached out to his fellow Scot, Arfield, and Arfield convinced Spoony. Therefore Edgar should get the credit because he started the chain of events.
