I'll go and wash my mouth out straight after this comment!
Good piece in the Record today from Sutton about what Cascarino and Barton have recently said regarding Scottish football.

As much as I can't stand sutton most of the time. To be fairto him, he stands up for Scottish football constantly on BT. And I know he has digs at Gers every chance he gets, but most of it is true.
He's still an enormous p***k!

Stands up for Scottish football as without it he'd be n the dole queue!

No, beacuse he's actually right about it. There is decent players and teams up here, and the reason we don't compete in europe is due to the TV rights that the english get is 100x the amount anyone in our league get's.
Like I said he's still a p***k but does talk sense.

Have just read the article and was on my way here to post a similar comment. He might be a bit of an a**e and also wear green tinted glasses but time and time again he stands up for Scottish football.
He defends it constantly and really seems to understand the restraints a lot of clubs face and appreciate the good work a lot of them are doing with very little money.
All pundits support teams and give them a break and enjoy having a pop at their rivals. There have been plenty of die hard rangers men in the media, promoting die hard rangers views over the years.
I know we have had it hard the last couple of years but it's really time to stop this "ban the media if they say a bad word about us" and "the whole world is out to get us" attitude.

I totally agree that we are held back with regards tv money etc but where are the good players brought through in Scotland I could count them on my one hand! Proof is in the national team that half is made up of players born bred and played all there days south of the border the standard is garbage and players don't develop as they should in comparison to other nations

Are they really that far from the truth?

Apart from Celtic what other decent teams are there in Scotland? And why do these teams now fail regularly against minnow nations in the Europa league qualifiers?

Look at the schools. No playing fields or crap surface. Look at coaches. Not qualified because it cost too much to get the badge so poor level of coaching. Look at what Iceland did 15 years ago. Put 5 a side and full pitches in every school. Took in around 500 cosches every year and put them to B badge level free of charge. Puts senior coaches over them who updste their understanding of the game and pass on knowledge. Took 15 years but Iceland are a much better side than Scotland so it can be done but it needs a plan and money from government. The SFA can't afford it so its got to be from above them.
