Allowing foreign teams to use Scottish sides as feeder sides?

Should Scotland allow foreign teams to use Scottish sides as feeder sides?

Allowing foreign teams to use Scottish sides as feeder sides?

This could allow big sides in the major leagues like France, Spain, and Italy to buy up Scottish smaller part time sides and use the teams to develop players from all over the World.

This would allow major stars of the future, the opportunity to start their careers in Scotland.

This may be fantasy but it would be great if big clubs as big as the likes of PSG, Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Roma bought up small Scottish sides and used them to develop players. It would be fun for the fans to see future superstars. I do not know if PSG, Real Madrid, Roma, or Barcelona would ever want to buy up a Scottish side to develop players.

I think big Scottish clubs would not benefit from this. But a small Scottish side might get players and investment to take them up a few levels.

Scotland should play an international football match in Shetland

At some level, Scotland should play an international football match in Shetland.

Perhaps the Scottish non-league team should play a friendly against the Faroe Islands in Lerwick?

Perhaps the Scottish Highland League could play a select team of Highland League players against the Faroe Islands?

It would be fun for the players to play an international side.

She & Him- I Could've Been Your Girl

Is Kieran Tierney The Greatest Football Player From The Isle Of Man?

He has played for Scotland, Glasgow Celtic and Arsenal.

He has won Scottish league titles, Scottish Cups, Scottish League Cups and the English FA Cup and English Community Shield.

He started at Scottish giants Glasgow Celtic then moved to Arsenal in a huge transfer.

He was brought up in Scotland, but was born on the Isle of Man.

Selected Pick Of Non-Scottish Sides Beaten By Scottish Sides

Selected pick of sides conquered by Scottish sides

Here is a list of some of the great club sides that Scottish clubs have defeated in competitive games. I have selected a pick of the sides, they have also defeated other teams I have not mentioned. I am including a win in any individual game, including after extra time. So they may have been knocked out over two legs by the same team. I do not include penalty shootouts, or away goals rule victories, when both games were drawn. This is purely a list of individual game wins by Scottish sides against non Scottish sides.

The order shows the name of a European team with a list of Scottish teams who have beaten them in Europe.

Sean Connery played for Bonnyrigg Rose

The famous Scottish actor Sean Connery played for Bonnyrigg Rose in Scotland.

He was a famous actor. Most famous for Bond. I loved the Bond movies, and the movies called Highlander, and The Man Who Would Be King.

He was famed all over the World, as a superstar.

He had controversial views, and was known as one of the most famous actors of the 20th Century.

I hope there is a close title race this season.

I hope there is a close title race this season in the Scottish Premier of soccer.

It would be great if Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Aberdeen, and Hibernian all have a close title race for the Scottish Premier this season.

It would attract more fans to Scottish football if there is a close title race.

Imagine going into the final game with the title outcome still up in the air.

I would love it if Aberdeen or Hibs won the league this season too.

Scottish football fans deserve a real title race this season.

It would attract big TV audiences, and would please sponsors as a result.

I hope there is a close title race this season. -

Thanks.

The New Firm Derby V The Old Firm Derby

The New Firm Derby of Aberdeen V Dundee United is a big derby in the North East of Scotland.

The Old Firm Derby is a big derby between Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers.

I like to see both derbies. The Scottish League also has the Edinburgh Derby, the Fife Derby, the Highland Derby, the Ayrshire Derby, the Lanarkshire Derby, the Tayside Derby and the Dundee Derby.

There may even be soon the Aberdeen Derby in the Scottish League with Aberdeen v Cove Rangers.

The Old Firm Derby is the biggest derby by audience. Although if Aberdeen played Dundee United in the Champions League Final that would be different.

Obviously the Old Firm Derby is the best known Derby.

Is the Old Firm Derby the most passionate in World football?

I think it is.

I am Scottish and support Scottish clubs in Europe. But the Old Firm tend to be passionate in their intensity for the Old Firm Derby, between Glasgow Celtic, and Glasgow Rangers.

It has politics, history, passion, and football rivalry behind it.

The rivalry has been around for well over 100 years.

Scottish football is the most passionate and intense in World soccer.

Glasgow, in Scotland, is a football city. ---

I hope Scotland qualify for major finals again

I hope Scotland qualify for major finals again at men's soccer.

It would be great to see Scotland reaching a World Cup, or European Championships.

They last qualified at senior level at the 1998 World Cup.

I think Scotland should look to nations like Denmark, Uruguay, Wales, Croatia, and the Czech Republic as inspirations. As inspirations of small nations getting far in major tournaments.

Who is bigger Celtic or Rangers?

I think it is a tough debate.

Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers have supporters all over Scotland, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the World.

I do not know if there have been any Rangers or Celtic fans in space yet.

Maybe with space tourism taking off, the two teams might have had a few fans in space soon.

I wonder who will have the biggest fan base in space?

Celtic and Rangers have massive supports, mostly in Central Scotland.

The best way of working out who has the biggest support would be to look at who has the most social networking website members.

Look at the main providers of social networking sites, that have Glasgow Celtic and Rangers as members. Then see who has the most subscribers or friends, or contacts.

That is my preferred choice of seeing who has the biggest support.

But that changes with time, as new members join the internet social networking sites.

Thanks. -

Connection between Edinburgh and Inverness football names

Interesting connection between Edinburgh and Inverness, in terms of football club names in the eighties.

Connection between Edinburgh and Inverness football names

When I was growing up I noticed a funny connection between the teams of Edinburgh and Inverness, that used to exist. Firstly Edinburgh is the capital of all of Scotland. Inverness is the capital of the Scottish Highlands.

But in terms of the name, for instance in 1985;

Inverness had 3 teams playing in the Scottish Highland League.

Edinburgh had 3 teams in the Scottish Football League.

The Inverness teams were called, Inverness Thistle, Caledonian, and Clachnacuddin.

The three Edinburgh Scottish Football League soccer teams were called Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, and Meadowbank Thistle.

So that is three teams in each league.

The other connection;

The name Hibernian is derived from the Latin name for Ireland.

The name Caledonian is derived from the Latin name for Scotland.

The other connection;

Meadowbank Thistle.

Inverness Thistle.

So two teams called Thistle.

The other connection;

Heart of Midlothian.

Clachnacuddin.

Midlothian is a place.

Clachnacuddin is a place in Inverness.

Now of course, by 2020, that has all changed.

Caledonian and Inverness Thistle merged to create what is now Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the nineties.

Meadowbank Thistle moved to Livingston to become Livingston FC.

Now there is just one team from Inverness in the Scottish Highland League, that is Clachnacuddin. While ICT play in the SPFL.

The Scottish Professional Football League system now has 3 teams from Edinburgh again, after Edinburgh City were promoted from the Lowland League system.

Those 3 teams of Edinburgh in the SPFL are now Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, and Edinburgh City.

Edinburgh could have more clubs promoted to the leagues such as Spartans.

Other Edinburgh club include Civil Service Strollers, Edinburgh University, Spartans, Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale, Tynecastle, Craigroyston, Edinburgh South, Edinburgh United, Heriot-Watt University, Leith Athletic.

Scotland invented International football

Scotland can claim to have invented international football. After all the first ever international was Scotland v England in 1872. The score was 0-0.

Scotland were the first team to play Wales in 1876. Scotland won 4-0.

Scotland were one of the first teams to play in Ireland. They first played Ireland in 1884, and won 5-0.

Scottish League is not a pub league

The Scottish soccer league is not a pub league. Every team in the Scottish Premier is full time. Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hibs, and Motherwell all have international players.

Celtic and Rangers have qualified for the Europa League Group Stages.

There is no pub league where that happens.

Scottish people should support the Scottish sides in Europe

Scottish people should support the Scottish sides in Europe.

Part of being Scottish, should mean wanting the Scottish international team to qualify for major trophies. And for the Scottish club sides to get far in European football.

I support all the Scottish clubs, including Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Aberdeen, and the other clubs.

I support all Scottish clubs doing well in Europe. So people see the Scottish football system as a top league with top clubs, and top players.

People in Scotland should aim for a system that produces top international players, a top international team, and top club sides who can attract and produce good players. And that can perform well in European soccer.

Also the smaller clubs have a role in producing players, managers, coaches, sides to play the big sides, and making Scottish football have a rich history.

Celtic and Rangers should stay in the Scottish League

Celtic and Rangers should stay in the Scottish League.

I disagree with people who say the big Scottish sides should leave the Scottish League.

The Scottish League would end up a part time league. Attendances, sponsorship and TV rights would collapse. Our teams in Europe, would be beaten by part time teams every season.

We need the strongest Scottish sides to stay in the Scottish League, to make the Scottish League stronger.

We need to have ideas to make the Scottish League a stronger league that can attract top players, tv revenue, sponsorship and attendances. Getting rid of the best supported sides would utterly humiliate and destroy the status of the Scottish League. It would destroy the status of the Scottish League.

Celtic and Rangers could go decades without winning trophies in a bigger league.

So they would collapse as clubs too.

Scotland team of the 19th Century - Soccer

I think Scotland were the best team of the 19th Century for football in the male section of the sport.

In the century. Scotland won 8 Home International Championships. While England won 6. While Ireland and Wales won none. Scotland also had massive wins against Wales, Ireland and England at international football in the century. Plus the first international was held in Scotland. Under any criteria Scotland were the best international team of the 19th century at men's football.

There were some great wins such as Scotland 8 Ireland 2 in 1885.

Ireland 2 Scotland 10, in 1887.

Scotland 9 Ireland 1 in 1889.

Scotland 4 Wales 0 in 1876.

Scotland 9 Wales 0 in 1878.

Wales 1 Scotland 8 in 1885.

Scotland 7 England 2 in 1878.

England 1 Scotland 6 in 1881.

Scotland 5 England 1 in 1882.

Scotland 5 England 4 in 1880.

Scotland 3 England 0 in 1876.

Robert Lewandowski should be awarded World Player of the Year

Robert Lewandowski should be awarded World Player of the Year.
He should win the The Ballon d'Or for 2020.

I know the award was cancelled due to the virus. But I think that idea should be changed.

Robert Lewandowski is the greatest player of this year, in helping Bayern Munich win the Champions League and German title. His goal scoring exploits are incredible.

He is a great international for Poland, and deserves a World Player of the Year Award for 2020.
