Best defender outside the SPL. And probably good enough for the scotland squad. Neither of which actually make him "good".
Well done Strachan. Wallace's the best number 3 that Scotland have at the moment regardless of the division he currently plays in.
It is easy to say Lee Wallace should be in the Scottish squad. Nobody can show the evidence. Basically for this whole season he has been playing against part time, bar men , street cleaners, fast food workers or what ever. He really hasn't been tested, we don't know how good or bad he really is. Why no Div.1 or Div. 2 players. The only explanation I can think in order to try to sweeten your lot, Campbell Og insisted at the interview that the successful candidate would select a Hun and WGS was the only one to agree. Jim Baxter would be turning in his grave at how Cheap it is to get into a Scottish squad nowadays.
Dev a wee liking for the Huns. Now if you can give one sensible argument that would have merit as to how a Div 3 player can have proved himself to be good enough ahead of Spl, Div 1and Div 2 players. If you have any knowledge of Scottish Int. team selections , you will recall how often uncapped players from Scotland's top league become Internationals after signing for the Huns. There is certainly no football reason for picking Wallace. He is playing at A level far beneath Int. level.
Hmmmm. As today proved, stepping up in standard from Division 3 (even for the better players) isn't straightforward.
It isn't straightforward. But you know fine well, young man, that Wallace is of the required calibre. Now, go to your room and think on it. We might send up some pizza for you. Seriously, for a quick sec, I feel sorry for Lee. He's talented and should have looked for a move. Good on WGS for giving the lad a career lifeline.
