Its not helping but I can talk for Scotland now. Canny spell either 🤡. Take care Parkie. Going to hebs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampden_loon2878 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Unsure why rolling hills is getting a bit of a hammering, the tone of some of the comments are pretty low, resorting to calling folk scum over trivial stuff related to football is a bit harsh, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a troll, his continuous crap about this place being anti rangers and Scotland fans being anti rangers is tiresome. I’m not surprised he’s receiving some flak for it.

er yir macaroon Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 the scum comments are out of order. I do find Weir’s actions odd, although as a football fan I’m just dissappointrd we appear to have lost a promising player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You talk about a child (that might not even make it in professional football) and leave the less important stuff to everyone else: the SFA/SPFL, lack of a basic infrastructure, lack of unity between clubs and football associations, the lack of clear vision for Scottish football, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I’ve very got no problem with davie weir having this on his shirt... I dont care about the royals but he does so good luck to him. Could equally be good luck to jimmy and Agnes down the pub for all I care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chripper Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 This is thread epitomizes just how far we've fallen. We used to produce players like Souness, Hansen, Dalglish, Johnstone, Cooper, Law, McQueen, Mackay, Baxter, etc. A virtual conveyer belt of superstars. And now? Some of our fans are crying over the possibility of whether or not we've lost out on a 16 year old who may or may not have a professional career in football. We really are at the bottom of the barrel, and there's not enough will for anything to change... ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All guys who learned their "Trade" on the streets, how many kids do you see playing Fitba like before, the afore mentioned guys played on Grass, tarmac, concrete, blaze etc. Learned how to control or trap a ball then turn and take on about 40 mates in the pishing rain. Nowadays the precious darlings train indoor when its slightly spitting and need a wee cuddle when they fall over, or need a wee break to prevent "Burnout" Edited October 15, 2018 by The White Ceelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finland are pish. Sweden and Denmark are ok, but that's all. Northern Ireland, Ireland and Wales are occasionally marginally better than us, but it's marginally. Wales are a one-man team. Northern Ireland will be back in Pot 4 soon. Ireland are as pish and unreliable as we are. Belgium are a small country doing well, but even then they have double our population, a large population of second and third generation immigrants (also the backbone of the England and France teams) and even a better climate for playing outside. Conclusion : should've stuck with Strachan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The greater population = the greater at football myth has been debunked years ago. Uruguay are half our size and yet they produce top players. No one can cite them having better weather as being the catalyst. We should have dozens of indoor facilities dotted around the country in order to combat the snow and ice. We don't. Plus our basic football attitude is atrocious, it's along the lines of "Punt the ball as far up the park as you can, because the more you knock the ball aimlessly into the box, the more chances of scoring a goal". If we were the size of Brazil we'd still be abysmal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceland - it may not last but they've been to a finals, lit the finals up and have been better than us Norway - agreed Finland - agreed Sweden - been to a finals - better than us Denmark - see Sweden Northern Ireland - again, they may end up being pish again but at least they've done something of note with an arguably weaker squad than us Wales - hard to disagree but they do have a couple of quality players who would walk into our team Ireland - not the greatest but at least they went to a finals Conlusion - no chance I am agreeing with that.
