Take the time to read Tosh's post and you might, if you can also make the effort to filter it accordingly, realise that he makes some very good points.

Seymour M Hersh Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Tin pot- giving away 3 stands to the away team 11-1 voting system Playing each other 4 times A split that means all teams haven't played the same fixtures in a "league" set up. Allowing players and managers to brand fellow pros cheats and nothing happens. Having 2 teams winning the league for the best part 50 years, and one the last 15. Overseeing a steady decline at club and national level and doing nothing. 10k and 6k seater stadium rules, forcing one team to play at another with some crowds less than 1k in the top flight. The reverse of the above rule meaning a team never got relegated and one not promoted. Making fans s travel the breadth of the country at a time when there are no trains. Hampden. Allowing a liquidated team to continue. On short, Scottish football is so tin pot, we deserve so much better. This and the Scottish sports media in all it's pathetic forms.

You are one of those posters, so as long as you are disagreeing/ arguing/ trolling, I know I must have some validity! You should also really try to stick on topic.

Disdain is a bit strong, I think I was pointing out what could be improved on and what if viewed from the outside could make us seem "tin pot" However, I have stooped following the national team due to the above points and generally a west coast love in, so it has affected how much time, effort and money I put into the game.

Ski Nae Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 At the Vicente Calderon stadium, watching Atl?tico de Madrid versus Valladolid. Valladolid's goalkeeper, Heguita, had come miles out his box and challenged Atl?tico's centre-forward (in the air) after a long ball had been played by Atl?tico's defence. Heguita won the header. But instead of it being a strong, clearance type of header, the keeper had simply dinked it past the striker. Heguita then jinked around the striker to gain control of the ball, dribbled with it in the style of an attacking midfielder and beat an Atl?tico midfielder at the halfway line before passing to a teammate and rushing back to his goal area. When he beat the two Atl?tico players, the whole (Atl?tico) stadium shouted out, "Ol?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't agreeing or disagreeing, your motives for your comments by some maybe considered as trolling. For example, saying something just to get a reaction. I could also do a list of all that is good with the game and why I follow it. However the thread is about what is tinpot about our game, I gave a few reasons that why I think it is tin pot. You then proceeded to talk shite, miss the point and generally be a crackpot. Anyway, I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilamas Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 All-seater stadia where the seats aren't in the club colours because it was obviously cheaper to get the red & yellow ones or whatever. McDiarmid Park is especially guilty of this. Particularly because most of the seats are visible during a game. If I was a Saints fan, that would do my nut in at every home game Apparently, having odd seats in different colours makes it look like there are more people there, when the tv cameras scan along or when someone on the pitch glances up. But having rows of the same odd colour defeats that particular purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
