Jagtag Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Jagtag just because you disagree with me that doesn't make my view a pile of tosh. Just because you believe something doesn't make it right. It is in fact a pile of tosh as agreed by millions of people, governments, football associations and other authorities all over the world. just because you happen to be born somewhere doesn't mean you have to consider yourself that nationality.

1320lichtie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) A load of bollocks from Gannon there. I'm by no means a fundamentalist on eligibility, but if you're backing it up with assertions like "most of us would rather play for Brazil than Scotland" then you're talking out yer arse. There's no team I'd rather play for than Scotland, and I'm sure that goes for all football players who identify as Scottish more than anything else. Good for you, thats magic to hear. However I doubt that you are a dual national, and even if you were I dont think you can speak on behalf of all people who were born in one country but have a parent from another one. 16 pages Edited March 20, 2015 by 1320lichtie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierypict Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 His Dad's from Edinburgh, so that's fine by me! I think you can be born in one country but feel much more affinity to the one your parents are from. The only problem I have with this story and most of the psuedo scots that have played for us recently is this: I heard that he's never even visited Scotland.....If that's true then he or his Father can't feel very Scottish at all? Of course, it could be a pile o'pish in which case it's fine! I think when you have to start checking passports, or have a Grandad/Grandma that's Scottish but you've never visited, then how can you 'feel' Scottish?

Robroysboy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If WGS thinks he's good enough thats fine by me. The problem with the previous manager is that we had a team full of englishmen, so much so that the scottish based palyers were being overlooked. You ahve to be better than we have got already, so this boy must be some player. Look at Anya nobody seen hime coming before he played and what a player he has turned out to be. In GOrd we trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor, Caldwell, Berra, Hutton, Brown, Fletcher, Miller, Naismith all regular starters under Levein... Add in Mulgrew, Wilson, Bannan, Adam, Whitaker, Gordon, Mulgrew etc..... It was never as bad as folk made out, and guys like Russell Martin, Bardsley and Morrison have went on to improve the team.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesney Hawkes TA Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The lad Wallace who played centre-back for Monaco against Arsenal looked decent. Presume his eligibility is being checked given it's the area of the pitch where we have the most need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilian I think, unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about Gannon's assertion that a Scottish person - with no connection to Brazil at all - would rather play football for Brazil than for Scotland because Brazil are a better team.

Exactly. My Dad was posted down to England when I was born. Does that make me English? My brother was born in Edinburgh 3 years later, is he more Scottish?
