Dan Deacon 55,151 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Just watched the goal again and has this wee thought. The Scotland team do not have names on the backs of their shirts, maybe I am reading into this a little too much but do you think its something that the management decide not to do, to try and remove the significance of a players name and status/reputation and focus on team effort??? I am sure we're not the only country not to have names, but just wondered from a physcolgical view if this was something that is done intentionally???

Mad Dog 2 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Now that Big Ecks got a backbone of a team i think they'll maybe now consider giving name printing on the back of the shirts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking along the same lines yesterday. If it is intentional (focusing on team rather than individuals), then it's working a charm.

The reason we didnt have names on the back of the strips was because McLeish was waiting till the very last possible time to announce his starting 11...As a result of this there was no time available to get them printed up !!

Mike Newells Sexist Army 2 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Only time i can ever remember them having names on the back of Scotland tops was during World Cup 98. I have Mo Ross on the back of one of my old away tops though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
