Robbored Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 and how many English players were in those english teams? Lampard, Terry, Cole, Neville, Scholes, Ferdinand, Walcott, Defoe, Crouch, Lennon................and that's with giving the question hardly any thought. How many Scotsmen in the old firm teams these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceWestonNick Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 We were linked with David Templeton in the summer. He is very highly rated and I would imagine Old Firm and Higher Championship/Lower Prem teams might be in for him - Perhaps Del and Doc can tempt him down at a cut price fee? I would love him here. A kiddy that i work with is the son of ex gas player ian alexander and he tells me his old man is going out with david templetons sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpaul Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 A kiddy that i work with is the son of ex gas player ian alexander and he tells me his old man is going out with david templetons sister Didn't he get sent off twice in successive games against City for trying to kick David smith in the air? Fantastic. He was like a frightened rabbit caught in headlights as soon as Smith ran at him. Oh how the Dolman used to mock him (just like those clowns on the tv advert) on his long lonely walk back to the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a decent little player with bags of pace. I'd imagine he'll be PL bound sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 so not many then would be what you meant to say. the old firm can't compete with the premier league for the best foreign players so thats not an argument. what was your point again?

SC_Red Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Scottish football is a poor standard. was it of a high standard in the 70s and early 80s when Hansen Souness Dalglish Gemmill Robertson Macari McQueen etc were winning major trophies with english clubs?

Robbored Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 was it of a high standard in the 70s and early 80s when Hansen Souness Dalglish Gemmill Robertson Macari McQueen etc were winning major trophies with english clubs? No. That's why most of the better Scottish players came south.I would have thought that was obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I wonder if the sfa and our fa would come to some sort of agrement so we can sign a couple of there players before Jan. If Hearts are really in the shit then surley a deal could be done. Absolutely no chance. Loan with a view to a permanent is our only hope of signing them now unless they agree to terminate their contracts with Hearts and join us for free. The rules will not be changed for us or Hearts.

SC_Red Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 No. That's why most of the better Scottish players came south.I would have thought that was obvious. right... so scottish football in the 70s was of a poor standard so the better players came south and won most major honours. In 2011 Scottish football is of a poor standard so the better players arent good enough when they come south and wont make it in england. Your arguing with yourself. You realise that right?

Red-Robbo Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Scottish football is a poor standard. Sorry fellow Robbo, I have to interject. The SPL is worse than the PL because it gets nowhere near the Sky boodle that the PL gets and it represents a country more than ten times smaller than England. But to say that means that Scottish players are likely to be, per se, of a lower standard is hogwash. As a small nation they still punch above their weight in international football and City's less-than-great recent experience of Scottish imports shouldn't blind us to the fact that McInnes is likely to unearth some gems in a market he knows intimately.

Oh how the Dolman used to mock him (just like those clowns on the tv advert) on his long lonely walk back to the tunnel. Don't think he ever completed 90 minutes against us! Usually sent off or substituted before the ref sent him off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew - T Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 It isn't a great standard to be honest but that doesn't always mean they have s*** players in the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 It isn't a great standard to be honest but that doesn't always mean they have s*** players in the SPL. Indeed, good players can come from ANYWHERE Vidic, Drogba etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Very disheartening that this has turned into yet another argument about the quality of Scottish football; it's shit, it's not a debate. There are good players in Scotland, again- it's a fact rather than a debate. Rather than inventing games of oneupmanship, maybe some of you could go and get hobbies? Perhaps time could have been spent looking for any clue as to whether there is anything in the original topic of the post? I found out that Hearts left back Grainger was playing under Del until the summer. We need a left back, ergo he could be a target. Anyone know owt about him?
