It's shit for everyone and the historical Scottish football stats, including the Euro ones, bear that out as the standard continues to deteriorate. For example, the level of defending in Scottish football is downright awful and I watch it in tv highlights almost every week! Do you watch the same matches??? You must do!! Some of the top footie matches look like schools matches where players bunch together in tight defensive formations - it's quite amusing watching this poor standard of footie and it's supposedly a professional game. Two weeks ago Ross County had a home attendance of 2800 fans!!!! As said previously, well done to the highland teams in winning trophies but that aint no football renaissance!! They offer a limited contribution to Scottish footie!! By all means support the game up here as much as you can but don't start preaching how wonderfully good 'the beautiful game' is up here. It aint and most knowledgeable Scottish fans, and a lotta young kids for that matter, are well aware of that fact whether you like it or not!! That's why many of them go elsewhere to watch their football and generally have a fleeting interest in the game up here because it's become stale and has been for years! A few different clubs have won Scottish trophies! Big deal - there's more than that to add to the story re the poor state of Scottish football and why it is that way! Re your last line, it's also curious how such a shit team like Hibs could give your team, Hearts, a two goal lead and come back to draw and then turn them over in a replay at ER Stadium - 'two bites of the cherry' and your team came out with zilch! The issue is not just a Hibs issue, it never was!!
