Nameless Ghoul 6,131 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Even if he could i don't see why he would want to. If he isn't good enough for England lets face it that is the only reason he would join Scotland and not for some sort of change in allegiance so it doesn't make sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,336 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 He doesnt qualify, end of. I did find myself thinking it would be good if he did qualify, but he doesn't and that's that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleman's agreements can change with a bit of discussion anyway. If the English FA wanted Tav he would be capped already. Again just for discussion Goldson would be a good shout in a couple of years time if he is still with us. Not even a gentleman's agreement but a formalised rule as part of FIFA's eligiblity criteria.

Why would Scotland agree to this? Literally only fucks over them as nobody is going to live in Northern Ireland or Wales for 5 years due to how shite their league is (exception being Cardiff or Swansea players of course).

Because it doesn't apply to any of the home nations. He must have had five years continuous education before the age of 18 to be elgible for another of the home nations.
