common goal

[Brian Hanley]

Just read an article on Jurgen Klopp there in The Players Tribune.

He noted at the end that he has joined the Common Goal movement, where players and managers donate 1% of their wage to the less fortunate.  I know than Juan Mata was one of the first high profile contributors.  When looking at the Common Goal website, 2 things struck me;

1. Of the 4 scottish players contributing, 3 are female.

2. Who is Robbie Crawford, playing for IFK Mariehamn?

Most Scottish players are too thick and/or self centred to bother their arses about such worthy causes unfortunately.

Looking at the site it would appear that a higher percent of Scottish players have joined than any other country in the world.

I think we can change that to most football players are too thick or self centred 

Interesting that so many women players have joined perhaps it better promoted there or perhaps because gender equality is included as a core mission.

Not sure how long it has been going but a crazy amount of potential if it takes off.

You need to get yersel a better pair of specs.

Check how many US, Canadian, Danish, German and English players have signed up for it. They greatly outnumber the four Scots who did.

I said a higher percentage, 4 is a bigger percent of Scottish footballers than 6 is of English.

Have to be honest and say I didn't check all the countries in the world just some of the bigger ones.Could ask Chripper to do it, he still has 4 days to go.

Looks like our supporters are pretty intelligent, and articulate but on a whole shite at maths😉

Not necessarily but neither are English, Brazilian or Guatemalan footballers. 

You’ve obviously got an inferiority complex.
