Re: scottish football
Scottish football is gash of the highest order by comparison to the English leagues. Its run by a self interested cartel of clubs of which the Old Firm and their lapdogs, Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs who control the game, even to the point of controlling Relegation and Promotion into the league.
However the real power lies with the Old Firm who feed of the rest of the SPL by buying anything that looks good / poses a threat and, most of the time, leaving it on the bench (if they are lucky) to rot at the expense of the national side.
Alan Gow / Derek Riordan being prime examples.
Prices for entry into games is set way too high, with £26 quid for a restricted view ticket to see your team against Celtic for example, or as much as £20 quid to view the likes of lower teams like Falkirk v's Gretna, you know the one - the English team that spent a few hundred thousand to make the SPL, i bet Romanov isn't caring though. A guy with 2 kids could easily end up with a 50 quid bill for a couple of hours of entertainment. Perhaps thats why, if you remove the old firm, the average gate of the SPL clubs is below 10,000.
Not to mention the bigotry of the old firm clubs, they way they act abroad and the shame they bring to Scotland with their antics (Rangers especially).
Hope you enjoy it folks, we invented it, corruption of the highest for all to see.
