Saying Morecambe wouldn't be competitive in the Scottish Premiership is unfair. I don't see a basis for that view. It's an example of being unintentionally disrespectful. Scottish fans feel English football can be disrespectful to the Scottish game, but do the exact same to the Irish game or lower league English game. There's nothing disrespectful obout saying a club in it's current form would struggle in the Scottish Premiership. Disrespecting standard of football in a country however.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disrespecting standard of football in a country however.. Faddy didn't say anything about current form or struggling. He said in no uncertain terms that Morecambe would not be competitive in Scotland's top division. I think that's being disrespectful (unintentionally) and I don't see a basis for that statement.

James McFadden https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/67743726 If I were a Morecambe fan I might think Scottish fans were arrogant in the same way Scottish fans feel the English are arrogant and look down at our game.

Yep, the 2 loudest supporters of Adams on this thread are the ones most ignorant of either his time in Scotland before, or just Scottish football. Yet think he's spot on saying it as it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawB93 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I mean, there were County fans on here who defended Malky Mackay so let's not take their opinion on the manager of Ross County too seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. one thing has nothing to do with the other. One day someone will provide me with a decent counter argument instead of this character slagging kind of rubbish.

Ironically, you were camped out in the Motherwell thread recently insisting that your thoughts on the Kettlewell situation had more weight than theirs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the points I wanted to make, asked Motherwell fans what they thought, gave my view from the perspective of an outsider and then left when the conversation moved on to the changes at board level. I never argued with anyone or insisted my thoughts had more weight than Motherwell fans so not sure where you're getting that idea from. Similar in the Ross County thread. To get back on point Scottish football fans generally have taken his comments as an insult in my opinion, but the fans who have had him as their manager (Morecambe and Ross County) aren't bothered by it. That tells its own story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on the bonnie bonnie banks Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 2426255 makes valid points and appears to be the only one in tune with the current situation engulfing the beautiful game throughout Scotland, highlighted so eloquently by the great one. One thing's for certain, there's no going back now and the game will either improve because of it or fade into obscurity due to its failure to change the way the SPL is set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
