chris81 61 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Then they are truely fucked. I thought I'd give the Sheep v Hiv's a go before seeing how long it would take to switch over to EPL. No TV company is going to pay to watch this. I'd rather go and watch pub teams down the park. Awful. They cant even fill a 50k stadium between the two of them. Spl is a poor product. Even if we do stay in spl it is killing us. Just wondering everyones thoughts. What do we do to improve scottish football? Without an improvement I fear our European nights may be a thing of the past. It's probably been discussed here before but watching this pish is depressing. Over to man city game it is.

Dickie1963 2,352 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 SPL voted against a deal with Sky to go with Setanta. Nothing would surprise me from these guys and yes the product is crap. I dont buy into this lets move to SFL Div 3 it surely would be financial suicide for us too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "plan" backfired then we could be trapped in the SFL for years.If worst scenario arose I'd be all for the England conference, at least trying to get entry.

Ben10 2,265 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The sad fact is Scotland doesn't produce talented footballers anymore. The talent is drained out of the youth as soon as they hit semi-pro by the ugly scottish football philosophy embedded in their minds by disgusting teaching from the shite youth coaches. Anycunt that holds Scotland cap from the days of Dalgliesh, Baxter etc is regarded is a legend as a coach. Who the fuck are Paul Hegarty, George Burley and Craig Levein ? Household names in Scotland but they have won next to nothing as players .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add into that our culture of getting mad with it every weekend and the future does look bleak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
