Sexton Hardcastle Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If they have a golden boot people would also take the piss. Harmless banter like the irn bru cup giving bottles of irn bru for motm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid stuff from Henderson though, dare I say playing below his level? Not a "do a job?" type post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauriesrank Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Winds me up something chronic, so little originality they call things in Scotland tartan/haggis/bagpipe or some other guff, none of which are Scottish in origin anyway. If you wanna take it even further it's a racist term to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Who comes up with this cringeworthy, gimmicky pish. What was wrong with the golden boot? I’d rather have that than some shitty tartan wellie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudiHMFC Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just looking at the top scorers the now, quite surprised to see that Cosgrove on 9 goals this season and also Kenny Miller on 7, fair play to him tbh. I thought he was finished about 8 year ago but he continues to get his goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point cringing about it. (I think some people just cringe at the fact they're Scottish) It's not like they've called it The Haggis Boot or The Tablet Boot.

luckydug Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Why do some Scottish people hate Scotland ? Would there be such disrespect shown if Ireland called their equivalent the Shamrock boot ?

Homme Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The golden boot is synonymous with the top strikers an competitions in history - The World Cup, European Championships. Top leagues like the Premiership and Serie A. You wouldn't even name a top goalscoring award for a Sunday amarure league the Tartan Boot. It's embarrassing, cringy, plays right into stereotypes and what others think our shite excuse for football in this country. That said I wish we had a striker good enough to win one. Has been a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
