  1. Some might say that supply creates demand ...
  2. I take your point about the teams already in the senior league. Even if I accepted the point about bringing through better youngsters, which I don't, I would still argue that it is a foolish trade off to make. No football fan is really interested in some abstract idea of aggregate, or overall, quality of young players in Scotland. Football fans want to know that when they turn up to watch a match that they can see their team win. If we keep structuring football in favour of big clubs then it will continue to decline as a contest. If it continues to decline as a contest then fans will continue to abandon the game.
  3. I think this sounds very bad in principle. Youth teams playing in the senior leagues is designed to strengthen the position of big clubs even further. It will make Scottish football even less competitive than it already is. Also, if the highland league teams really are better then why don't they win promotion in the existing system?
  4. Must only happen in the cheap seats.
  5. I wasn't at the game but I heard the police were confiscating the Blue Order's harpoons, on the way into the Broomloan, that day. Maybe if the police would be a bit more lenient then we wouldn't have any more coin throwing.
  6. Can't wait to discuss Windass in the run up to each and every transfer window for the next fifteen years!
  7. In his last spell he was often found wanting. Pretty dark times ...
  8. As time goes on I'm less in favour of card displays for this purpose. If other people like it then fair enough. I'm glad that I'm in the Main stand and don't need to participate.
  9. Very satisfying to watch Rangers humiliate Motherwell. Could have been 10 if Atakayi didn't get injured.
  10. I thought that guy only interviewed retired players.
  11. Don't worry. There is another thread for people who didn't watch it!
  12. Sure about the 4 goals from crosses into the box?
  13. I don't know about that. We never looked like we could control the game and close it out. As soon as Spartak Moscow went ahead the game changed and it looked like they were in control.
  14. He is busy enough getting more out of the existing squad and looking at other options for January. Hope he is not wasting any time on Carlos Peña. If you are an optimist then you should be hoping for Gerrard to sign a new player who has a chance of succeeding.
  15. If I remember correctly the manager has already stated that the league is his priority so you should probably not expect the strongest line up. Kent and Ejaria play most of the time because they are two of the best available options. We don't have any players who play better consistently ...
  16. Would it surprise you if you discovered that the director of football advised Gerrard not to even waste his time?
