I Think Scottish Football Is Still Strong

I Think Scottish Football Is Still Strong.

The league is high quality for a small country. It has two massive sides in Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. There are also other big sides in Aberdeen, Hibernian. Heart of Midlothian, and Dundee United, 

There are also loads of sides that can get professional full time level supports. 

Teams all over the country from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Motherwell, Dundee, Ross County, St Johnstone, St Mirren, Kilmarnock and others. 

There are also lots of part time teams and semi-pro sides, 

The Scottish scene could still improve with extra cross border trophies on top of domestic and European football. The potential of Scottish football is still stronger. 


Thanks.

Wim Jansen Was A Great Manager

Wim Jansen Was  A Great Manager.

I support all Scottish clubs in Europe. 

It is sad news to hear that Wim Jansen has passed away. He was a great manager in Scottish football. 

He only managed Glasgow Celtic for one season, but he won the 1997-98 league title. It was the first time in the nineteen-nineties that Glasgow Celtic had won the tier one league title. Glasgow Rangers had been chasing a tenth title in a row, before Celtic won the title instead in 1997=98. 

Jansen also won the Scottish League Cup as a manager. 

Jansen had numerous other managerial jobs. But in Scotland he is most famous for his 1997-98 title success. 

And he is famous for signing legendary football player Henrik Larsson to Glasgow Celtic.

 This is my new poem, 'Fly To Mystery Land.'

It is a poem about the different lands you can visit in stories, and legends, and some religions. 

The poem goes, 'I walked across Middle-earth. 

And flew to Hogwarts.

Flew a bird to the Shire. 

And sailed to Atlantis.

I cut through rainforest to El Dorado. 

And somehow got to Middangeard. 

Through to the Misty Mountains. 

Onward to Gondor.

I flew by spaceship to Qo'noS.

And laughed and cried in Erinsborough. 

A trip to the Oponskoye Kingdom. 

I climbed up the Penglai Mountain. 

And sailed to Mag Mell. 

I took a trip to Arcadia. 

And marched to Mordor. 

And laughed and cried in Weatherfield. 

Then travelled back and forward to Hill Valley. 

Then laughed and cried in Walford. 

I waited for Brigadoon. 

Then sailed to Treasure Island. 

The Vikings took me to Asgard. 

The King took me to Camelot.

A robot flew me to Cybertron.

I grew animated in Auchentogle.

Did I visit Phaeton? 

And I sailed to the Isla de Muerta and Isla de Pelegosto.

And then I found wealth in Sierra de la Plata. 

I joined the army in Walmington-on-Sea. 

I broke the law in San Andreas city. 

I rescued and saved lives in Oddworld. 

I scored a goal in Melchester. 

Rescued in Levenford.

I flew to Summerisle.

Losing is an illusion.

Nothing you ever had is lost.

All competition is ethereal.

Losing is an illusion in the shame.

Victory can bring a game.

But does the Andromeda Galaxy care who won?

Should Scottish Teams Be Allowed To Be Named After Brands?

Should Scottish Football Teams Be Allowed To Be Named After Famous Brands? 

Would it be fun to have sides named after big companies or brands?

In lots of the leagues across World soccer loads of teams have the name of a brand in  their team name.

With all sorts of companies ranging from drinks companies, and electronics or computer companies, and other brands. 

This would allow Scottish clubs to make more money. But it might annoy some traditionalists who would see it as too commercial an idea, 

There are lots of companies who it would be cool to be named after, 

Some major brands might change the name of Scottish football sides, 

The big sides might want to keep their own brand names,

Thanks.

Promotion To The Scottish Highland League

Promotion To The Scottish Highland League.

It seems there will now be a possibility for teams to gain promotion to the Scottish Highland League, from the sixth tier of Scottish soccer.

It seems there will be a play-off for top sides in the North Caledonian League, the North Junior Super League and the Midlands League, for the right to play the bottom team in the Scottish Highland League. 

Clubs will have to pass specific membership requirements to be allowed in the Scottish Highland League. So it will still be difficult for some teams to enter the Scottish Highland League. 

By the way; 

I think there should be a Scottish non-league cup containing Scottish Lowland League sides, Scottish Highland League sides, Scottish junior sides and the B teams of all Scottish Premier sides,

I Hope There Is A Close Scottish Premiership Title Race-

I Hope There Is A Close Scottish Premiership Title Race This Season. 

With the league season more than half way through, realistically only Glasgow Rangers or Glasgow Celtic can win the Scottish Premiership title this season, unless the two sides have an unprecedented decline in form. 

I would love there to be a close race between Celtic and Rangers this season. Both teams have strong squads. Both teams are still in European football. 

I hope they take the European trophies seriously. 

It would be fun, and interesting to have a close title race going down to the last few weeks of the season. 

Both Celtic and Rangers have big fan bases. 

Both sides have strong squads. Both sides will ned to work well for the rest of the league title race.

Thanks for reading.-

Could Scottish Soccer Have Invited Teams From Other Countries In Their Trophies?

 Could Scottish Soccer Have Invited Teams From Other Countries In Their Trophies?

Maybe Scottish football could invite foreign teams into the Scottish League Cup? Teams from other nearby countries in Western or North Eastern Europe.

They already invited non -Scottish sides into the Scottish Challenge Cup for a few years, 

Maybe invite big foreign sides or close by sides into the Scottish League Cup?

Maybe big teams who would add glamour to the trophy. Those teams would have an extra trophy to play for. While the Scottish could have some bigger teams to play each season. 

Imagine teams like Rosenborg, Viking Stavanger, Malmo, IFK Goteborg, AIK Stockholm, Legia Warsaw, Ajax, Copenhagen, Brondby. Shamrock Rovers, Linfield, or Anderlecht? 

Maybe even teams from North America could be invited? 

This could increase the history of the Scottish League Cup.

The negative is a Scottish trophy could go abroad.

 I Hope More Scottish League Players Get Big Transfer Fees.

I want the SPFL to have top players playing in it. But I also like it when non-Scottish sides buy top players from the Scottish soccer leagues for big money. When there are multi-million pound deals taking Scottish players or non-Scottish players 

It makes Scottish football look like a good development ground for top players. 

It is great for Scottish clubs to make big money from players. 

It is an honour when non-Scottish sides buy top players from the Scottish sides. 

Yet I also want top players to play in the Scottish leagues.

I Would Like A Extra Cross Border Trophy For Scottish Soccer

I Would Like A Extra  Cross Border Trophy For Scottish Soccer.

I want the Scottish soccer system to be strong. So I would love Scotland to continue to have a strong league. But I also want on top of domestic and European soccer, to have an extra series of cross border cup trophies. 

So on top of the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup, and Scottish League Cup. And on top of European soccer. I would love Scottish clubs to have extra cross border trophies with teams from other countries. We could cut down on the number of games in the league, by having a 16 team Premiership, of 30 games a season. 

This could open up the season to extra matches. So matches against teams from nearby countries or even far away countries. 

Countries in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, could give Scottish clubs a test. 

It would have to be serious trophies. I am not talking about mini-tournaments or friendlies, or non-competitive trophies.

I am talking about serious competitive trophies that have the same status as domestic or European trophies, 

I would love more cross border games for teams like Aberdeen, Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Dundee United, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Motherwell, Dundee, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Cove Rangers, Ross County, and Falkirk, and every other Scottish side.

I would love cross border trophies all the way down the levels. 

Obviously the top teams could travel further,.

I think cross border trophies allow local and national rivalry. 

I love cross border matches.

Who Will Win The 2022 World Cup Of Soccer?

Who Will Win The 2022 World Cup Of Soccer?

This is the male version of the trophy. It is a FIFA World Cup. 

There are some top teams qualified for the trophy like Argentina, Brazil and France. 

I hope Scotland qualify for the World Cup. 

Scotland have not qualified for a male World Cup at senior level since the World Cup held in France in 1998. 

I would love Scotland to play in a male soccer World Cup again. 

Scotland have some top players. Scotland are developing more top players. Scotland have a top manager.  

Scotland still need to get past some teams to get to the World Cup Group Stages. 

The World Cup is apparently to be held in Qatar this time.
