Also, in my experience, therapists and psychiatrists have more mental issues than their patients. And no, those aren't my credentials. One day, just one day I wish that people would stay on topic with my threads. I know why it never happens, though. It never happens because people fear the unknown, and usually my posts are written as statements rather than opinions, people generally take that as arrogance and that generally annoys people. I don't mind the insults, though, as it means that I'm doing something right. I’d be too in awe of someone who came up with “We're talking about McDonald and Shinnie and Fletcher, etc, when Scotland fans of the past used to talk about Dalglish and Law and Souness” You’re way ahead of your time for this forum.

Of course it's obvious, as it perfectly sums up how low we've fallen. It wasn't like it was the core of the point that I was making. The point is that in my opinion Scottish football is rotten to the core. If you disagree with that then fine. Personally I can't see any shoots of growth. When writers write articles about religious bigotry being a blight on Scottish football, is that obvious? How about articles that underline that persecution based on colour is wrong? That's obvious, too. How about Newton's law of international gravitation? That's obvious. Just because something is obvious doesn't mean that it shouldn't be explained or written about.

Do, you're trying to score points off me going off a point that you agree with? I don't see every other Scotland fan saying that. I'm reading Scotland fans saying that we've turned the corner. I'm reading opinions by Scotland fans that our midfield is strong and that we have good players coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Personally I just think Scotland fans have been so starved of any success (qualification) that they're willing to see shoots of improvement, even though they aren't really there. My opinion is that Scottish football is rotten, from root to branch. So much so that I think we'll never see a successful qualification campaign again.

Telling me that you found me stating Souness was better than Shinnie to be pretty funny? Couldn't you have just said that in the first place? It's not just the 70s/80's, though. It's also the 90's. The 90's team under Craig Brown would pummel this team. A midfield of Lambert, McAllister and Collins vs our current midfield. They'd murder us. </more obvious comments> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
