Mr. Brightside Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well, that's two post of complete nonsense in a row from you. Us, Dundee United, Killie, St Johnstone and St Mirren play relatively decent football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The play off final is the same weekend as the friendly in the USA, so there was little chance of him figuring in that game. D'oh, yeah, I just worked that out on the way to work this am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzohiggy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I wish i agreed. The SPL is a truly horrendous standard. Diddy's in charge, poor coaching, no money and clubs consistently and constantly downsizing have put paid to that. Most SPL is kick and rush. Danny Lennon & Kenny Shiels slabbering about this mythical passing philosophy after passing the ball around outside their own 18 yard box for a minute or two before punting it up aimlessly after any sort of pressure doesn't wash with me. Did you not watch the League Cup Final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not great, but neither are the Championship or League 1. The likes of Motherwell, United and Hearts would be comfortably mid-table in the Championship. Big wage bills and the Sky hype machine seem to have brainwashed rather a lot of people, but you just need to look at how players who've gone down south from the SPL have typically fared to see that there's no real difference in quality(yes, there's some exceptions, but that also goes for Championship players who've come up here). You're being harsh on Smurn and Killie too, especially the latter. Very rare to see Killie play it long, other than diagonal passes out to the wing.

TheScarf Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 This has gone a tad off topic, to keep it off topic - the standard of League 1 is horrendous. The quality on show the other night between Sheffield United and Stevenage Borough was eye-bleedingly bad. On topic - Oh, Rhodes, he scores goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof! Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Most SPL sides try to play a passing game, unlike 10 years ago. That said, the standard of player, outwith the OF, is on a par with League 1, with some notable exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Huddersfield got promoted today after winning the play off on penalties. Big question now is - will Rhodesy stay there? He seems to be a loyal bloke and Huddersfield have said more than once they have no need to sell. TBH, selling a one chance, one goal striker like him would be daft unless the bid was premiership level. The've already knocked back £4m (I think) from West Spam earlier this year. A premier club will surely take a mild risk in investing £8-10 mill of their £60 mill a season in this lad. All that matters to me is that he continues his scoring form next season, then at worst we have a clinical, quality Championship front man that we can potentially look to build around for the next decade. At best we could have him playing and scoring freely in the EPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 And Rhodes gets his 47th of the season against Bulgaria U21s...still plenty of time for the winner EDIT: And he almost gets it - scoring his 2nd in the 90th minute.....then the arse falls out of the Scotland defence and we concede straight away FT 2-2...but 48 goals for the Rhodester...

~~~ Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 He's just finished a medical at Blackburn witht he view to signing for them in a deal worth £8m I'm glad he's moving to another championship club, Better to keep playing at that level and improve than sitting on the bench at an EPL club (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree tho that being first pick for what should be a challenging champ club is better than warming the bench for, say, Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's much chance of Kean getting the tin tack with that team. On paper they should win most games in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch a lot of football around Europe of similarly sized countries (e.g Scandanavia & Balcan countries,etc) and the SPL would seem to be distinctively inferior especially technically. There's no reason or excuse why we should have professional players at the top league who can't pass the ball to a team mate from 8 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
