hue jeers 6 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 The support and following Rangers and that other team get is incredible, they would very quickly be at the top of any GB league and would be there on merit. Enough of the serious bit and back to the piss taking I thought you were taking the piss until i read the last part Not at all, the grounds are packed just to watch the like of St Mirren, what do you think they would be like when Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, those scum sucking pig bags from over the Pennines or Hull went up there ? Scottish footy is much maligned and all for the wrong reason's in my opinion I was taking the piss So was I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,279 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Id be happy to see celtic and rangers playing in england both having such a good following....but they would have to start off in our lowest league and to be honest i think they would do well to get in the nationwide league and are certainly not good enough to play in the english premier league. Its a shame and i cant understand it....look back a few years at the quality of scottish players coming down here to play...dalgliesh,souness,nicholas etc etc......who is there today ? nobody...i dont get it myself.......but the fact is the big 2 up there couldnt compete in the premier league down here.

gnasher16 30,279 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Gnasher look at the amount of foreign players in England, all leagues, and you can see why there are fewer Scots down here. As for good English players ????????? Lampard and who exactly ? So you really think player for player the scottish national team compares to the english national team for individual quality ?.....theres foreigners playing in scotland as well mate just a lower class....for a lower class game obviously..... Rangers or Celtic in my opinion would be a low to mid table nationwide league team.....and the nationwide league is - 90 % english.....ask rangers or celtic if they would want rooney,terry,ferdinand,defoe and many many others......i think that would answer your question about good english players !... Or you reckon there happier with kyle lafferty or damarcus beasley Edited October 27, 2009 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hue jeers 6 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nope, never said the players compare for individual quality. Would Celtic and Rangers attract players of the quality you mentioned ? absolutely. Could they afford them, yes. Would any of those players want to play at stadiums like Ibrox and Celtic Park in front of a full house, probably. Did Scottish football attract the best manager in England at the time, Martin O'Neil, yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So why dont they then ? the proofs in the pudding mate......one reason they cant attract top english players is a top english player wants more than 4 competetive football matches per season !............like it or not mate scottish football is at an all time low......oh and where are these top class cottish born players playing....and what are their names ?.....scotland are just not producing top notch players anymore,why that is i dont know.

undisputed 1,664 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 at this moment in time we'd be lucky to make the vauxhall conference....couple of other points you bang on about it being a two horse race up here who outside the top 4 teams in the premiership will win it consistantly year after year. Our football is shite due to a lot of things...the nintendo culture lack of investment lack of facilities and lack of tv money and lack of desire. and the likes of Everton arn't doing very well in europe or against your arsenals and they're supposedly a top 5 team. If the old firm had access to the money the premiership clubs get it would be a different story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
