It's not one or the other,. Football is very important to a lot of people in Scotland, under labour the Scottish government put 11 million into Scottish opera but have never put a penny into Scottish football as far as I'm aware

Something like 20 million a year is buttons and could make a big difference.

The main reason being that FIFA would very quickly give any government the opportunity to either cease interference, or we'd be punted from any official competition.  

But aye, all hail Sturgeon and awrat.

Both progressing very well, are clearly two of our three best prospects.  Only a matter of time.

Was disappointed to see Harry go on loan to Ross County, but reading into it a bit more it seems he's signed a 4.5 year deal with Stoke, so they clearly think he has the potential to step up.

Early days still, but silly to write him off.

Disappointed? Lol.  That's good news.  He's 19 they're hardly going to be playing him in the premiership yet.  Though he's been on the bench about ten times.tjis season.  Outstanding prospect.

Well, yeah it is as it turns out. But on first reading of the story it sounded like the precursor to the inevitable tail-between-the-legs return to Scotland. Not so, it seems. Pleasing

 To you.  Not to everybody.  They obviously want him to get some first team football basically bypassing their u24s and has been on the bench for Stoke every week for about two months now.  It's obviously very good news.  He's a tremendous prospect, as is his brother who is a mainstay of the hearts defence that has now kept what 8 clean sheets in a row the best run in that clubs entire history.

 

They will obviously both play a lot of games for Scotland and have the making of a fantastic pairing or two thirds of a great back three.

I would imagine they'll probably want him out on loan in league one or the championship next season then first team after that.  John will be on the move this summer too, will have a lot of options hopefully wherever he goes he's playing football if so he's a senior international within 9 months and will probably make his debut before then.

Wow, has this all come from the NI manager turning us down?  settle down people.

I think it's probably come from years of failure through appointing shit managers, charging fans ridiculous amount of cash to watch games and on the whole doing a fairly shite job of looking after football in this country rather than Michael O'Neill knocking us back.

We've been settled for years and we've been fed shite throughout it, it's time to be unsettled and force change for the better.

I firmly believe the fifa rule of no government interference is to hide the decades of bungs and corruption what better way to keep nosey beeks out than a threat of being banned.

The SNP have proven over a long period of time they would genuinely struggle to organise a piss up in a brewery.  They have overseen a stagnation and regression on our governance at every level in every way.  They have shown they are corrupted top to bottom, archaic, backwards, regressive, unimaginative jobs for the boys belligerent  wankers.  

 

There is one group of people in Scotland, however, who have repeatedly and demonstrably shown they are forward thinking, fast moving, responsive, imaginative, Innovative and enormously competent over a long period of time.  I'm talking of course about the SFA

 

Should the SFA take over Scottish government and is this even possible?

FIFY

Personally never felt overcharged for games, and I thought Strachan was the fans choice as manager at the time?  The SFA are doing a good job at grassroots and youth development.   They can do better but this silly ott reaction against one man is crazy.
