I'm 100% for summer football now. I don't say this because of the current weather, I say this because of the current state of our game. It's unfortunate to have to say, but I don't think the national side is ever going to make it to another major competition in the foreseeable future - When I was growing up, Scotland playing in major tournaments was almost a given. Geopolitics have had their part to play with the fall of the Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia leading to the creation of nation states with good footballing sides. Look at the case of the ROI not making it to the World Cup due to that handball incident - we, like the ROI, are being squeezed out. Perhaps if we went to watch football in the summer, more youngsters may actually PLAY it as opposed to sitting on their PC on MSN, or 360 / PS3 / Wii. They might go to parks and emulate their heros - LDZ - wanting one day to score a winning goal against county with a stunning overhead kick. We should be doing more to encourage youngsters to take up the game. If we can, then maybe we'll start qualifying for major tournaments again in the future and the issue of summer football would pose a problem.
