Burnley V Sheffield United

[RowdyBey]

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

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

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

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

[The Mantis]

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

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.
