Been done to death on here but I'll always be in support of folk wearing football tops abroad for two reasons - 1) If it's a diddy team top it's a good icebreaker and you know you can get a decent discussion about lower league football. 2) If it's an OF top, you know you're probably best just avoiding having any interaction with the person. Bizarre ....spend a decent amount going on holiday to a foreign country, nice weather, scenery, architecture, beer, wine, company etc etc, and you want.......'a decent discussion about lower league football' ..........wooooosh, each to their own and all that and can I really judge ? But...seems like a helluva waste of a passport to me.

He says these things because he doesn't like and has no interest in sport, football included.

'For Wales' ? Every chance but debatable and merely a matter of opinion, I concede. What , however, is neither up for debate nor attention seeking or indeed nonsense, is that Alan Hansen enjoyed a far more successful and far more garlanded career than either McLeish or Miller. Moreover he did this while playing at a far higher level and against better opposition. These are facts. It is of course only an opinion that those facts by their very nature mean that Alan Hansen was a better footballer than Alex McLeish or Willie Miller. How do you judge talent after all...

'Mammoth' as in big, lumbering, useless, irrelevant to the modern age, an evolutionary throwback - yep a bigot semi-final is Mammoth alright

In a Scotland shirt(Aberdeen a separate case) McLeish especially was a donkey in human form. Oor Willie not so much if fairness be a thing. I doubt Mark Hughes & Ian Rush had an easier game in their whole career for Wales than the 86 World Cup qualifier at Hampden. But, hey, all Hansen could counter the Miller/McLeish hype factory with was 8 English titles, 3 European Cup medals, 2 FA Cups, 4 English league Cups & First Division championship with Thistle....little wonder so few Scots rated him !!!!

I used to have a very cool looking West Ham top.... light blue with two claret hoops...just the two ! Mind you I was 10 years of old at the time and wasn't aware that it was the West Ham away top until I saw a photo of Clyde Best wearing it in Shoot. I wholeheartedly agree that grown men wearing football tops are dobbers of the first order.

That was Ferguson's fault for omitting a world class centre back like Hansen in preference to the utter donkey that was McLeish ( or Miller, or whatever donkey it was.....slipping into the mists of history now, so no point pondering it obsessively but that goal against Brazil - different World Cup I know - did someone nail McLeish's feet to the turf ?!! ).

And the Rangers 'manager figure' in their little montage is all suited , booted and necktied while the Celtic 'manager figure' is dressed in casual leisure attire clearly designed to place him 'downstairs among the lower orders'. This kind of endemic anti-Irish racism tells you exactly why Celtic have been so disgracefully held back by the football authorities for decades !

Scottish football without the two Glasgow secterian clubs the way forward..

The Old Firm are vermin and sadly very much still with us. When one of Rangers or Celtic put forward proposals for a more equitable distribution of wealth in the SPLF resulting in Celtic & Rangers voting against each other I will revise my opinion. Until such time that happens their is still an 'Old Firm' however much pissing on the wind people like you indulge in.

Its 'cartel' that's the operative word here.

So this cretinous secterian duopoly that is killing Scottish football just our fevered imaginings then ? It's the 'Old Firm' , poisonous capitalist cartel. You may have heard.

And that is probably the most humourless..

Scottish football is dead as a serious competitive sport in that case. If that's what we're happy with, fine.

Don't for god's sake blame the schools..... you'll wake up the segregationists..

So why in the name of Bob Crampsey is he on TV talking about it ? Get moronic ex-pros off of my television & radio sets and do it now !!

You could substitute the word 'Celtic' for the word 'Rangers' in that post and not change its meaning or truthfulness in any way. These two really are joined at the head, hip and arse !

Brenden Rogers & Martin O'Neill Celtic management wise, certainly.

Give me the ones from the foothills of the Pyrenees any day.

Such classy winners these Old Firm types.....that's the bullet you dodged, Eddie ! Howay ....

Would oor Alistair really say ' ya shitbag' ? Didn't learn that at Maxellton Primary & Hunter High, surely ? I sense an imposter.

Correct, of course......a shocking lapse..

I suggest Dundee United as a club to now turn towards in that case. Others are available of course but just so glad you seen the light - joy in heaven over one sinner repenting and all that. Might want to change your profile pic if you're serious about wanting no part of the Old Firm, mind you.

Of no relevance in the real world, young Mr Ball.....where 'Old Firm' means "satirical term used to highlight how two, supposedly bitter rivals, have merged into one entity for the purpose of corrupting Scottish football for their own financial benefit". Now if Celtic have trademarked that.......fair play to them !

Bizarrely he looks older in that photo than he did when he was Scotland manager. The bracing Blackburn air and the ageing effect of a no frills crewcut I suppose.
