Posted

Good luck to Burnley and Owen Coyle in the Championship play-off at Wembley this afternoon. It would be great to see them playing in the Premier League next season.

I read that Graham Alexander has played in all 61 of their games this season...aged 37.

Yep scoring 11 goals aswel pretty good for a defender. Alexander has never played for a scottish club.

So, neither have most of the other english people in the Scotland team

Who the other english people in the scotland team :blink:

That's not 'always' in my book....... it's only the past 10-15 years we've had to scrape the barrel and play non-Scots.

Your forgetting Bruce Rioch and Richard Gough

Your forgetting Bruce Rioch and Richard Gough

Was Gough not born in Sweden and brought up in South Africa?

Your point being ? He's still a " non -Scot " .

More off topic......

Well I did hesitate over putting '20-25 years' to avoid sounding like one of those old buffers who says 'in my day' all the time :lol:

No wonder international football is becoming completely pointless if you can't identify with your players.

I started watching Scotland when we had Law, Dalglish, Gemmill, Holton, Jordan, McQueen, etc. My first game was when we beat the Czechs 2-1 to qualify for 1974.

I would define a 'Scot' as somebody who's wanted to play for us since he was old enough to think. Not some mercenary such as Sullivan.

Now the likes of Rioch - although he has an English accent, if I remember he was brought up by Scottish parents and only ever wanted to play for Scotland. Gough's different though I have to admit.

BTW who was the defender we picked about 10 years ago, who was only Scottish on a technicality? Matt whatsisname. I heard an interview with him after he was chosen. All he could witter on about was his precious career and how it would be a challenge to step up to international level. Nothing about the fact that he would sweat blood to play for Scotland like most of us.
