    I was referring to Strachan deflecting Scotland's crap international performances on our poor genetics as opposed to our broken coaching set up. Strachan's comment was embarrassing and in fairness I think he acknowledged this.


    But isn’t the huge over representation of players of African descent in the Belgian side down to genetics?

    They are all going through the same coaching set up!

    Immigration has given us a bigger pool of players to pick from but we still have to train these guys up to become the players they are now.

    Incidentally while many are obviously descended from African nations, the only member of our WC 2014 squad born outside of Belgium was Anthony Vanden Borre.

    Yes, its given you a bigger pool of players and yes, they were born in Belgium and went through the coaching system.

    But around 40% of Belgian international players are of African descent whilst only around 13% of the population is of African descent. There is obviously something else at play! As Gordon Strachan suggested, genetics!

    zico..... you got something sensible to contribute? 
    You're either not very smart or.............TRYING TO BE F*****G ANNOYING!
    probably both.
    you really in New York?       "you talking to me"  "you talking to me".     "f**k you zico!"


    In other words, you know you are talking shite.

    Yet again.

    All these folk having an arguement about the 'Glasgow' inclusion. Heaps more teams have the main town name and followed by many outside the town/city.....Aberdeen, Barcelona, Liverpool, etc. ..........people like zico trying to deny such just goes to show how petty and  wrong their arguement is.

     

    2 points.

    1. Its you who began the 'argument' about the inclusion of the word 'Glasgow', albeit, its not really an argument, you are just plain wrong.

    2. Who has denied that other clubs are named after a town/city and what relevance is it?

    Prize money is paid in 4 instalments across the season with a guaranteed minimum which is close to the total for the bottom club.

    Clubs budget for the season ahead on where they think they will finish in the league.

    Therefore, what clubs earned in prize money for last season is irrelevant for next season. Its already all been spent!

    When I speak football with my family in Belgium they always refer to them as Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. Outside of the UK I think it's common for them to be referred to as so.

    Isn't the same said for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid? If I'm correct locally they are simply known as Atletico and Real but across the world the Madrid is added. I could be incorrect, just something I've heard.

    The official names of Real and Atletico both contain the name Madrid. The official names of the Old Firm do not include the name Glasgow.

    That's a nonsense zico

    Glasgow Rangers

    Glasgow Celtic

    Manchester United

    Manchester City

    ....by your logic none of these teams draw support from outside the main city

    Unfortunately Paisley is a shitty name too, not aggressive enough

    "Where are you from Tam?"

    "Paaaaiiissslaaaaaaay"

    "ya poor bugger"

    "Ayeeeeee, a know, no ma fault"

    "Dae yi support St.Mirren"

    "dae a f**k"

     

    Rangers & Celtic don't have Glasgow in their names.

    Not really bothered about other clubs. Paisley has never been in our club's name and IMO it should stay that way!

    Don't know how it all works but they got more than double prize money than we got

    Jesus Christ!!! FFS!!!

    That was for LAST season! They will have got the bulk of that as installements LAST season.

    They will have spent that money LAST season and budgeted for LAST season accordingly.

    NEXT season, we will both be in the same league. We will both budget accordingly!

    :1eye

    You seem to know hoppy's every move you never know maybe he likes a coke or has a week bladder which ever does it matter he got Livie promoted two seasons on the trot played at the highest level for a reason


    It matters cos he wasn’t in charge! He’s the acceptable cover for the guy who is really in charge at Livi.

    He sits in the dugout, he does interviews. That’s his job. Someone else is the brains.
