It wouldn't have been allowed to happen if it was the English Premier league.

There are far too many mediocre players earning a good living in the SPL. The pressures on manager don't really allow that much opportunity to blood young talent.

Yup, they get paid to play mediocre football, and it has become easier life than working for a living

Yes if Scottish football is to return to its former glories it needs to blood more youngsters and get rid of some of the cheap foreign players.

Or, only pay them if they play well

If Scottish Footballers went on strike, I'm not sure i would miss the football

Don't think those antics will aid Arsenal buying Hazard... if ever that was realistic :rolleyes:

Mata scored a nice goal earlier... what a shame!

Yes Mata looks a decent player but l hope Drogba is alright as he was down for a fair while.



Fine goal by Skrtel and now Adam a minute later to make it 3=0 for Liverpool against Bolton and thats the full time score

Did anyone else see a trainer on the pitch in the first half at White Hart Lane, where did they get 3 minutes of extra time from.:confused:

The ref is a joke as well, not in the least bit dirty or overly physical game and yet 5 yellows in first 30 minutes.:rolleyes:

Sagna out for the game against United today!

City look really good. Edin with 2 good goals, Nasri with 2 assists!
