Anyways no matter how big our country is - Rangers and Celtic & our league are miles behind where they should be. When you compare to other leagues in a country of similar size - do they pull the same fans? no! Do they have the same background? No! Do they sell millions of strips and merchandise? No! Do you pay £500 for a season book? No! So dont give me that nonsene.
The Scotland team has been ruined by politics and Burley. We would have humped Norway if McCulloch, Ferguson, McGregor and Boyd (Any1 disagree) were playing. They dont deserve to qualify - football has no room for politics! Int football is about playing the countrys best 11... no the chuckly brothers and co."
talking out your backside!
what on earth would lee mcculloch bring to the scotland side? please tell me this? next youl be wanting Nacho Novo...
i have to laugh at the fact you are clearly a Rangers fan who has the blinkers on, Rangers players are not the best in the country mate, rangers won the league last season due to mendes and davis, i am a fan of boyd and i do think he should be a starter though.
McGregor is no better than Marshall, and would have not prevented any of the Norway goals. id love a laugh and see what your scotland 11 would be. the only ommision that burley made that we would all change would be boyd, Ferguson pulls out of the majority of scotland games anyway, plus fletcher and brown are better, not to mention kevin thompson when he is fit
no i dont pay a season book at £500, i am not stupid enough, Rangers and Celtic fleece thier fans every season for this, but this is also due to the fact that Rangers and Celtic fans want to see the third rate bollocks that get paid a fortune for zilch. what have guys like samaras, hemdani, beasley, velicka and hesselink done for scottish football except stop a scottish born player getting a chance.
the problem with scotish football is Rangers and Celtic. how many promising scottish football players have they basically nicked from other spl sides and ruined thier careers? Steven Thompson, alan gow, riordan, ian murray and steven pearson to name a few.
no other team in scotland charges thier fans so much to watch football,
youv belted scottish football but cast your mind back a few seasons and look at the hibs team for example.
Ian Murray- bosman (rangers nicking him)
Riordan - £170,000 after celtic waited and waited for his contract to go
Scot Brown - £4.4 million
Garry Oconnor - tranfers amassed to £4.3 million
Kevin Thompson - £2million ( ?? )
steven Whittaker - £2 million.
not to mention guys like Gordon, McFadden, Murty, McCormack and teale are more Scottish players who have made and are making a success of themselves in english football after being in the scottish game.
without the money coming in that english football has, it is very easy to see scottish football is holding its own. just because its skint, doesnt mean its crap |
