Anyone else listening to talk sport tonight?
I'll be honest I very rarely listen to it but thought Id have a listen tonight. Don't get me wrong I'm not unaware that Scottish football is in a bad way at the moment. But these guys on their high premiership horses are unbareable to listen to tonight.
They just seem to make claims and points about how bad the spl is regarded on things they make up and pass on as facts.
I.e. David Goodwillie didnt join Rangers or Celtic because he was scared he would get stabbed, Samaras was terrible in the premiership and scores goals for fun in the SPL. Rangers and Celtic could never join the premiership because they couldnt compete (eh if we had premiership money we certainly could) Old players who cant cut it in the premiership go up to the spl n become heroes.
Some of their chat is just non sense I'd rather they not talk about Scottish football or atleat get some fact right!

They want callers from Scotland and they'll probably get them with derogatory chat like that. They know what they're doing.

Maybe we should complain to the Scottish government...worked when the Irish government was brought into things before

But they have a point. If a team like Malmo can beat the Scottish Champions we're fhecked!

Don't get me wrong if Celtic were in our position tonight I'd probably have wanted them to get put out but at the end of the day we need to start doing something that will help all scottish teams get better results in europe!
Were so close to getting to the stage where it is just going to be our tiny little country with 2 teams a league and no european football atall. Time to start looking at how some of the other smaller countries are making football work.

4 divisions in Scotland. That's a joke, should be 2 at the most. How many wee p1ss poor teams are there around Stirling for example. Forget their history, it's time for these wee teams to amalgamate and try and have a decent team or two in all our major cities/counties. If not Scottish football will be just that...history.

The guy in the studio based his argument on glancing at a Record headline the other day. I think he interpreted it as Goodwillie cannot walk the streets of Glasgow without getting stabbed. It came across as a half-hearted attempt to controversial so I turned it over to Traynor (which was funnier).

Don't worry about them.......when the EPL bubble burst's and it will, they'll be in exactly the same boat as us.........possibly worse given their leverage levels v supporter bases..........to ensure this happy event happens sooner......petition your MP about Rupert's monopoly on British football broadcasting...........it makes the EPL feel far more important than it really is and at the end of the day we should be able to buy our televised football from whomsoever we choose.
