Christ, Scottish football is so fucking dire.
Oh, please elaborate in your evaluation of Scottish football.

My evaluation is based on the current state of Scottish football which is poor, this due the lack of finances Scottish football receives from television and the general inability of the the Scottish youth system to produce players who could be described as being very good. There's no point looking back at the glory days of Scottish football to cover up the fact the present state of Scottish football is poor. When you look at the squad of Celtic and Rangers, it is pretty clear their is genuine lack of quality. The Neatherlands have a relatively small population in comparison to Europe and though it's not what many regard to be a top league, there's still quality there by the fact they're able to produce players. Scottish football is dire.
 
Now that you have that off your chest tell me why you gave your opinion. Was it to make yourself feel better about supporting a club in a rich league? or just to belittle my Country?

I get the same kind of shit from nearly every English person I meet and they are all either Man Utd, Arsenal Chelsea or Liverpool fans(though none of them have ever set foot in the cities of their supported team).

Rockstar, the only reason you follow any team is to bask in the reflected glory of a big side that often wins, try supporting a team from your own country.
 
This is a football talking shop where the user typically gives their opinion on footballing matters. And thus I gave my opinion on a contemporary football matter.

By the way, I'm Swansea born and bred and support Swansea City and Wales.

Answer this, do you often mock smaller leagues for their lack of world class footballers and money?

Rockstar I do live with it, you may notice that by my supporting a club in that shitty league rather than supporting a club in a better league!

Then quit getting all defensive if somebody says it's a league full of long balls because you know it is.
All defensive? like you when people call you a glory supporter(and you are)?

I wasn't mocking Scottish football for a lack of world class footballers and money. I support a team with no world class footballers and no money. I was being critical on the poor quality of football in Scottish football. Swansea City are a poor team, financially speaking, with a squad made of cast offs, yet they form a cohesive unit who can play football. Doncaster Rovers are another team with limited finances but have also displayed the ability to play good football under Sean O'Driscoll. Or Norwich City who play a good attacking style which tends to be good to watch and they haven't bundles of money. Wales under Gary Speed were stating to play some craking stuff and we have a limited amount of players. Stoke City are effectively doped by their owner Pete Coates and spent tens of millions on their squad and have produced dull shit football. I just like watching good football and do that all you need good management and coaching and a committed set of players.

OK I'll rephrase the question. Do you often mock smaller leagues?


 
You're talking to somebody who supports Swansea City, we were in Division 3 a decade ago. Honestly the SPL is a horrible league, the standard of football is terrible and there is no competition.

You have yet to answer the question I put to you.
