beararse 6,900 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, .Williamson. said: Why are people pretending the Dutch league is worse than Scottish football Probably helps validate their case that Lammers is utter shite, regardless of his record breaking exploits since January. He’s clearly a very good player who wasn’t suited to the pressure of playing for Rangers and/or being played out of position against the low block. Even if the Dutch league is shittier than the SPFL (which is isn’t) scoring that amount of goals in that amount of games is some feat, proving that he’s not a haddie. With a bit of luck we’ll make a tidy profit on him and at worst, break even (which seldom happens when someone doesn’t click at Ibrox) HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the results in europe from spl sides have been an embarrassment I’d say most clubs in the SPL are still ahead of Irish league clubs. There’s only a handful have went professional in recent times but they’re still a bit off it A number of league of Ireland clubs are better than clubs in the Scottish top flight though. They’re a fully professional league and their football is actually a fairly good standard. Couple of years ago Sligo Rovers beat Motherwell in the conference league qualifiers home and away. Finished 3-0 on aggregate and everyone in Scotland described it as an upset. Maybe in the fact Sligo Rovers are a lower half of the table side in Ireland, but I’d expect the likes of Shamrock Rovers, Shelbourne, St Pats, Bohs, Derry City and usually Dundalk, albeit they’re poor atm, to challenge and get results against a lot of Scottish sides I think Scottish football is dire Iakona, MurrayWilson, Albertz85 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets proven year after year. Not that long since a kilmarnock team that finished 3rd got beat by connahs quay nomads of the welsh league. You could also include dundee utd against Alkmaar in the embarrassment table. They finished similar positions in their respective leagues the year before but utd got thrashed. You can go on and on with examples. Anyone saying our league is comparable to the dutch league for example in strength is frankly kidding themselves on.

BlueSuedeSambas 56,411 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 He’s only ever scored goals regularly in the Eredivise, for teams who have minimal expectations. Everywhere else he’s gone, his record has been poor. He only scored something like 11 goals in 117 games between the end of his spell at Herenveen and the end of his spell with us. Clearly a technically gifted player, but obviously somebody who thrives in a more low pressure and familiar environment.
