They might win against the Germans, but they won't win the Cup.
Besides, I don't need an excuse to loose it.

Anyway, I still come here every day...I just don't have that much to say anymore. But now that Italian footie is back on the tellie, I'll be giving you my opinion on Juve as a loyal fan again :cheesy:

That's all right, we get the point. And I agree with you - the SPL may not be the most competitive or enjoyable league in the world (that's a matter of taste anyhow), it is far from a black hole!

um.....a grey hole perhaps??

seriously though, IMHO. im not saying that the SPL is bad or anything, but they wont be taken nearly as seriously as other major leagues unless they produce some super-star quality players....

oh yeah....add a strong all-round team, competitive league, some investment, and determined people at the club to go somewhere in the CL/Uefa cup.

I think they'll do it....I have great respect for the Scots...

Cheers lacrease

:D

I agree with a lot of what you say. It's not easy doing all you list with a pop of under 5 mil though. The problem is too many teams. If we had two divisions of twelve teams the resources would be focused better. However...noone wants the teams to fall by the wayside to be theirs. Understanable:angel:

yeah....IMO the best way for the scots to go about doing their job is investing in youth. i've said it before and i'll say it again:

Youth are by far the biggest, most valuable and most appreciatable assets any team can have.

you dont need to spend millions on them, but at least one out of 10 will go for 5 million or more, bringing in a lot of return.

or you could keep them...its a lot better to have to bring someone up from the youth team than to have him bought for a couple million.

he doesnt need to learn the language, or get used to the club. he will be more loyal, and will possibly stay a lot longer....

If I'm not mistaken, if Celtic get to the qtr finals of the Eufa Cup then Scotland move up to ninth ranked league in Europe. Not bad for a nation of less than 5 million.

Some teams punch above their weight, but the Scots can also drink above their weight. Cheers Roverbhoy! Good to see you back:cool:

All true of course. Can't argue with any issues here. But we just can't seem to get the youngsters away from the PC and playstation.:frown:

Speaking of th SPL, I enjoy watching Hibs. Hibernian has become my Scottish club of choice (I'm sorry, Celtic :down:)

Shush.....I like Hibs too (don't tell anyone, especially someone I had an argument here with a wee while ago):D


I've had some good times with Hibee fans over the years.

Scots are usually OVER weight:cheesy:


Ain't been away Padovano...just keeping a low profile.

I used to have a saying here on the bottom of my posts.....best to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and confirm it. I just haven't had anything to contribute.:down:


Good to see your still here too. I know I wont pull the wool over your eyes with anything I'll say.
