Local Heroes

Must be awfully difficult for the savages across the bridge to support a first team that is essentially a squad of Weegies and Englishmen.

I know we're not much better but at least we have a few token Invernessians in the team, and judging by an article in today's P&J, a few more coming through the youth system.

I've always thought of football as a tribal game, pitting our local champions against their local champions.

Not so easy to make a connection when all the local champions are imported from other parts of the country.

Anyone else have similar thoughts?

In a word, no. I don't care where our players come from as long as they play with pride for and commitment to the club when they are here.

Unfortunately we would probably never have won anything with a team of Scots far less Highlanders. It is good to be able  to sing "He's one of our own" to at least a couple of them. Only problem is that if they shine with us they are quickly swooped on by a large number of better financed predators. My problem has always been with the signing of evident mercenaries.
