Vinnyjag Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 With GS about to name a squad for the friendly against Canada and the Qualifier against Slovenia, surely this would be an ideal time to include big Liam in the squad? I am not suggesting for a minute that he plays both games but surely a part of the Canada game would be a great and deserved introduction to the international set up. I know by promoting his involvement in the Scotland team we are inadvertently teeing him up to be sold, but he is a solid Scottish defender, who is arguably the best in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Would be great, but he doesn't play for either of the scum or Motherwell. Don't hold your breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 The longer he stays under the radar the better. But I reckon he'll be away in the summer anyway. Can't see him getting a call up before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 He might well be just getting caught in the radar now. I'd say if he hadn't skied his shot against Accies he'd be the talk of the steamie. Be difficult to ignore a defender involved in a couple of clean sheets who's also scoring goals. Like Ian I think he'll miss out just now. If he leaves in the summer for a good sum of money lo and behold he'll be capped at first opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Is there the posdibility that one of wee GS's mates wants to buy Liam in the summer and has asked GS not to pick him until then as it would increase the asking price? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arch Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 The longer he stays under the radar the better. We should probably be hoping for the opposite. There's no way he's staying with us another two years if he keeps up this form. We're best trying to get as much money for him as possible and a call up will help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashman Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Look at the state of the Scotland defence, he should definitely be in the squad and hopefully get a bit of a run out against Canada. Could get a game up front with his scoring record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb1876 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Seems like there's a recognition amongst players (and the media?) about how poor the Scotland talent recognition system is, what a terrible reflection on Scotland as a whole and on the Scottish set up, what ever happened to - your good enough you get picked no matter who you play for, it's the old firm or any English league that seems to be the criteria now? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39148187 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoncordiner Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Can someone with the skills create a Liam Lindsay goals compilation on Youtube? Would be great and raise his profile for the upcoming Scotland squad and £1+ move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elevenone Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Really wouldn't surprise me if Strachan calls up Darren McGregor before Lindsay for Canada game tbh. On form is there a better Scottish centre half than Liam right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) The playing for a bigger club argument shouldn't hold water but I realise it does. What's the better achievement, playing as a central defender for a diddy club and soaking up countless pressure and gaining clean sheets or playing for a bigger club when the ball is 80% of the time in the opposition half? Roughie was one of only two full timers when he was getting capped regularly. He had to make a series of fine saves in just about every game he played. Keepers at some of the top clubs might only have been called on once or twice to perform at the same level as Rough.

Motherwell Jag Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Liam has been in great form recently as have the rest of the defence. Hope by promoting himself for an international call up he isn't setting himself up for a fall. I believe he is due a call up though and would have been capped had he been playing for a so called bigger club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 The whole big team/old firm thing goes right through all of the ages and not helped with the journalists. I can't remember if it was rob mclean or someone posting about the Scotland U16s midweek, all he could comment on was Dembele from Celtic and Gilmour from Rangers both start, not a mention of anyone else!

Vaila Street Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I would doubt Strachan has even heard of Lindsay. He could probably tell you all the players in The Conference with a Scottish granny he's seen in Championship Manager though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 With that Scotland squad announcement I reckon it will have made Lindsay's mind up. He has to leave if he wants in the squad. It's a shame as the Canada game would have been perfect for him to get a run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
