Scottish football is a laughing stock . And teams defending at home in league games, tells you everything about our game domestically . And they havn't got the ability to raise their game in Europe . At least we are doing much better at dealing with Europe, than the dross served up as football in our league The teams in Europe actually try to play football (mostly) not the turgid level of dross we as a nation now find acceptable in our top national league. Given the Hib’s match was a bad day at the office imo, 9 times out of 10 we would have went on to exploit the space afforded to us and to give them their due they at least they had a game plan other than 10 packing out the last third of their half. As for Motherwell and Aberdeen, they got exactly what their style (use that word loosely) of play deserves... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare his bookings per games played in Europe against his booking record in the SPFL. Great point, the next time I hear any (paranoia) complaints re the disparity in officiating standards between them and the rest of the league this is an ideal stat to present...

Spartak away, Feynoord away and at home to name a few. It's down to our style of play being much more suited to European football. Not all our bad results in the league are referees. We have definitely had some bad decisions against us in Europe, Alfredo's onside goal against spartak disallowed and rapids goal at Ibrox that was offside twice FFS But unlike in scotland the refs in Europe don't allow opposition players free reign to boot utter fuck out of us, that's the main difference.

a_staunch_prod 22 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Another joke of a thread. We hardly looked 'completely at ease'. They missed a few sitters and we could easily have been 2-0 down. Jesus, can you imagine this place if they'd actually took their chances. There'd be 'Gerrard Out' posts all over the front page!

I’m convinced that if the Gerrard haters get their way and he goes we will end up with someone who *might* win the league but will get punted out of Europe regularly. We have to be careful what we wish for. Hopefully we win a trophy soon and the pressure will begin to ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swagger 7,946 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Nervous as fuck before Hibs, I’ll be nervous as fuck before Motherwell but watched that last and fully expected the win. Obviously the league is the big thing but we are playing a far better quality of team in Europe but seem to cruise it. The SPL is pish yet there’s a good chance we’ll struggle again on Sun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
