Robbored Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 My favourite topic - shite Scottish football. Celtic got hammered 3-0 by a an injury hit Zenit St Petersburg tonight and crash out of the Europa League. I bet the Rangers fans are laughing their arses off but they're even worse.

Bris Red Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 For a country of just over 4 million i really dont know what people expect from Scotland and the Spl.. the standard is about right for the size of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland’s population is about 5.5 million, but I agree they are doing very ok given their size and resources...and another example is Uruguay, less than 3.5 million population, but don’t they do well....relatively?!

Ashtonwurzel Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Celtic don't play enough competitive football to compete in Europe. Wasn't there talk of a Scandinavian/Scottish super league a few years back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 So many opportunities to knock Celtic, but this one is probably one of the least justified to be honest. You say injury hit Zenit, but Celtic are missing at least 6 first team squad players and Zenit spent £100m on players for this season and are a far better side. I get there are a fair few Celtic haters on here, but honestly Robbored you've already admitted you watch little football aside from City and you make yourself look more clueless than Celtic's away european performances each time you try and do this topic (for the hundredth time).

Managers, not coaches... Do you seriously think Conte is doing all the coaching for example?? Coach by title... Manager by job... Completely different roles within football...

stevep38 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Living up here the standard is pretty shocking though. Take my local club Arbroath, they survive on gates of a few hundred, are part time with little or no chance of ever getting into the Spl. Sandwiched between the 2 Dundee clubs Aberdoom and Brechin City and Forfar there are to many clubs. Plus a lot of the locals support Rangers or Celtic. There really on to a hiding to nothing.

Mad Cyril Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Scottish football can't be too bad. Every season at least one team seems to qualify for Europe. Pretty impressive that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say exactly the same for a club like Bury in Greater Manchester. There are small clubs getting small gates in every country. Likewise the big clubs take support from all over. Juventus are well supported in every city in Italy for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia have modric/Rakitić/Perišić ... Scotland brown/fletcher/snodgrass. The Croatian league is at that standard as all their best players leave. Scotlands is where it is as they don't produce decent players so they mostly end up staying there. In the premier league there are only out 15-20 scottish players and only one that i can think of (off the top of my head) that plays for a top six club. I can't imagine there are any scots playing elsewhere in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of hatred for Celtic and Rangers comes from fans south of the border who are secretly jealous of their fanbases, and history, especially when you consider the quality of the football.

I find it shocking really giving our population and supposedly great status in world football that i can name only a handful of English lads abroad.. Jordan Sancho probably being the stand out at the moment but other than that it seems our players are not wanted particularly by top European clubs. My point is if the roles were reversed and we had a population of Scotland would we be any better ? Not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
