maybe that shows that you shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about
yes the standard of football in scotland is poor and has dropped alot in the last few years but a freak result like that between a league team and a team that is nothing more than a pub team but is registered with the SFA is in no way indicative of the standard of football
you have to remember that population wise the whole of scotland has about half as many people as london alone
the dominance of celtic and rangers has been bad for the game in alot of ways as supporters of other teams do get disillusioned knowing that they have no chance of winning anything other than maybe a cup every 20 years or so.
i'm from a town called dunfermline and when i was growing up more people from the town travelled to watch rangers or celtic than attended dunfermline matches. dunfermline has a population of around 60,000 people but is trying to support a top flight football team in tough economic times so of course they are going to be playing to a lower standard. the success of celtic and rangers and the pull they have has meant scottish football has had higher expectations as a whole than it realistically should ever have had.
but it does annoy me when idiots laugh about it when they dont have a clue what they are talking about , and should i add an obligatory "lol" here
