Are we going to get some statisticians to calculate that Morecambe are only 3.75 times better. Can't believe anyone is taking that literally. Man awards himself a platform to comment on the entirety of the Scottish game, he should probably not say things he doesn’t literally mean if he doesn’t want people to take it that way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally said Morecambe were a far better team than Ross County, but he doesn't literally mean exactly 100 times better ffs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ross County 0-1 Dundee: Boss Derek Adams fumes at 'shocking' league standard - BBC Sport Quote Joe Shaughnessy's dramatic 96th-minute winner gave Dundee victory, but Adams took aim at the quality on show in the entire division, as well as lamenting his side's performance. "The standard is shocking. It's one of the worst games I've ever seen," Adams told BBC Sportsound. "I've been back and I see the standard and I think 'wow - any chance?' If I'm a spectator watching this today, I'm thinking 'is this what Scottish football is all about?' It needs to up its game." Adams added: "I've left a team down in League Two that's miles better than this team. Miles. That's saying something. We had the bottom budget in League Two, and they were 100 times better than this." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of fans are getting taken in by this to be honest. I don't know him well enough - but that's what I suspect. He didn't have steam coming out of his ears and spoke calmly unlike say Craig Levein at times when it was obvious the emotions had taken control.

johnnydun Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 His team were made to look shite by Liverpool Fullback Owen Beck. I think he may be a step above Morecombe tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool might be 100 times better, Morecambe certainly aren't. Aston Villa ( budgets , budgets ) really cuffed us in Europe Rangers got cuffed last season. It is just a question of how far down the English leagues their teams can do this ? I think the average English team will have the physicality and be more skilful -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre just saying he doesn’t literally mean morecambe are 100x better than county and other teams in the league. Well, ok then but I still think his comments are pathetic and I suspect his players will just think he’s a bit of a tit for saying it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
