Scottish Football's Hall of Fame

[shull 29,949]

Paul Gascoigne will be inducted next month. 

Dinnae see the fuss about it. 

If serial cheating divers like Laudrup and Larsson can be honoured then why not Gazza ? 

[Eric Arthur Blair 5,661]

Inducted into the HoF because he played 3 seasons for one half of the b(h)igot brothers.

Farcical.

[DougJamie 6,666]

  Yes everything great about the Scottish/ Glasgow game FFS

Great player in his hey day.  Flawed Individual. Divisive.  My preference would be not to induct him.

A man who in 1996 described our national team as a bunch of sheepshaggers

Also playing for his club in the Champions League turned up half cut after beating up his new bride on their honeymoon

Went out and got sent off after 25 mins

Real credit to the game

My view is he was a very good football player, way too good to be playing in our shit league.

As a person, waster.

Met Gazza on two separate occasions was with his nephew the first time and staying at the same hotel as us the second and both times he was both friendly and considerate but more importantly off the booze, self control is most certainly his greatest weakness.

As my local is Fox and Hounds couldnt help meeting the foul mouthed wee Ned and his fat bouncer.............. his pal  Charlie Coke Miller , was another nutter......

Based on his football, I can understand why he'd be inducted.
The personal baggage he carried during his time in Scotland and still does is another issue though.
I don't know enough about the hall of fame to comment on whether it's only about a player's footballing contribution.

At present this is the only thread that doesn't have St.Ricky as the last poster.

Surely nobody can have that empty a life.

Aye, you'd think he runs around every thread deliberately and posts words that, generally, mean feck all.

I'll have you know that I put a lot of effort into that today.  After a wearing day of visiting the library and out for a late afternoon meal, I set myself that target. 

Sad,  meaningless? Of course it was but don't let's kid ourselves that anything on here is meaningful or fulfilling.  Occasionally interesting and amusing?  Yes

He was a Minor footnote in Scottish history.

You called that right.

Mibees he's already in, or at least Maurice. I'm sure there's an outcry on social media and football forums about gazza from folk who are as ignorant of the hall of fame as I am.
