I remember the Falkirk fans assuring us that Higdon was rubbish.
Mind you, I can remember a number of Saints fans also assuring the Motherwell support that Higdon was rubbish!
Totally disagree.
Scotland's problem is that we spend too much time trying to match what countries like Holland do.
Norway achieved success at international level by focusing on playing more "hoofball".
Not point trying to beat countries like Holland playing their own game.
I work in Edinburgh and know a number of Hearts fans.
Unfortunately the words they have used to describe him include "awful", "terrible", "rubbish", "clueless".
And that is just the polite ones...

I only saw McQueen & Gemmill play for Scotland but that'll do for me
Liverpool played with Sturridge & Suaez as out and out strikers with Sterling in the McGowan role - although Sterling has pace and played the position entirely differently.
David Villa played off Costa at Madrid while Aguero played off a target man at Man City. These guys didn't play the McGowan role at all.
Liverpool, Man City & Atletico Madrid played with 2 strikers last season...
Don't think its strictly true that Higdon was Mehmet's back up. Higdon started the majority of games in his first season.
I didn't actually read the post oaksoft was replying to. I was simply agreeing with oaksoft's statement.
My post wasn't a dig at you and you are totally correct that oaksoft jumps in and makes up what he thinks folk are saying at every opportunity.
I really don't care whether you or anyone else used or still does like my posts.
I think Loy is under contract for another year.
I also read somewhere that he was suffering from a virus when he was with us before and that's why he didn't feature much.
If they are paying national insurance and they become ill then they are entitled to have access to benefits. That is what insurance is all about.
But the fact is that the majority if immigrants are young workers who are out there working, paying tax and doing the jobs that too many lazers fuckers in this country won't do.
I have a mate who runs a recruitment agency. He has an office in Prague and that is his main source of new recruits to come to Scotland to work. He has to go out their continually to try and woo folk to come over to fill the jobs he has.
He says he has never ever been able to find anyone in Scotland - they'd much rather live off benefits.
Indeed, totally correct.
Yet, in the lead up to a vote on Scottish independence they have won 1 of 6 seats in Scotland...
And some folk would have us believe that a yes vote is likely...
