What about our lovely half and half Everton Celtic caps. They were huge in the mid 80ss
I appreciate that but I would rather see the glory go elsewhere other than the old firm.

I'd put the decline of Scottish football down to poor coaching in schools and clubs' tendency to buy C-list foreign players to flesh out squads instead of investing in young Scots lads.
Lack of facilities, a preference for computer games and most of all, when was tbe last time you saw kids playing footy in the street?
Loads of reasons why football up here is in decline oh yeah I also can't find a Wembley football anywhere.?

I've only been in Liverpool for one evening, in the late 70's. I know very little about it. I'm only going by what my friends dad said. He was from Glasgow, and lived in Liverpool for a time.

Terrible pitches /facilities in Aberdeen.
Windswept, even in summer.
More dogsh** than grass.
Not sure if there is intermediate pitches when 7 a side becomes 11,never used to be.
The best teams snap up the better players and then don't play them, which I never understood.
If anyone has coached at grassroots level,the list is endless...even having to pay refs,getting to away games etc

Stephen Glass was saved from the chop after a defeat in December, by his players.
Must've been a soft touch.
Norwegian fella,and some other European, someone in the US ,Jim Goodwin and Jack Ross are the early runners.
Lots of Don's upset that Akex Neil was missed, his wages wouldn't have been a problem after what Deek was on.

The collective 'We' those who were bothered in the first place, more or less grew out of it, or moved away or died or both.
Some of the people in Glasgow ( and Belfast for that matter) are still living in 1689.
You think they’ll go for the cheap , local option , Jim McInally ?? If they beat Dundee tonight in front of the Tv cameras ……. No not really !

Hopefully. It's a home either tonight.
Must fancy winning tonight?
You guys have any suggestions for the job?
The cheap option is surely chucking Broony in as he's already there on a big wage, possibly with a mentor?
Yogi Hughes, he would certainly give them all a boot up the arse.

Yep, was involved with my boys teams at grassroots level up untill recently.
Was always a constant struggle regards fundraising/pitches/training facilities/sponsors for strips etc. And there was always more obstacles and reasons to give up!!
But overall it was great for everyone involved and the kids grew a great bond together over the years from age 7 up untill we finished at 17 years old.
Reached a decent grass roots level in last few years in Paisley league at our age group(2002's) with four of the teams(we made one final) in our league either winning the Scottish Cup or were runners up in it in the last few years competing in it,so the quality of teams we were playing every week were decent! A few from the league are currently at Partick th, Hamilton, Clyde, Q of the South and St Mirren, others are playing at junior level so there is a route in through grassroots but don't know if the covid situation has damaged it beyond repair tbh!!
As you say the pro youth set up really annoyed me with constantly taking players from various teams in league, then in most cases releasing them after a few months, leaving the boys dissilussioned and in a lot of cases
boys stopped playing altogether!!
Still miss it but can get to Rangers games now which before i had to miss more often than not!
