I think it’s more to do with the rabid supporter passion that makes our league ‘pure’. No matter if we are talking The Rangers or Berwick Rangers or Arniston Rangers. I’ll obviously never know but I doubt strongly I’d have spent 50 of my 59 years watching “major league soccer”. (Lower caps deliberate). Seems like shite but with a burger and a shake.
Will be able to tell you in a couple of weeks. Going to watch Philadelphia Union against New York Red Bulls.
Obviously our vary old and established league has much more supporter passion and history than something ginned up by investors and media companies in a country with almost no tradition of football.
Unless one of us,the gunts or Aberdeen get tens of millions pumped in title ain't leaving Glasgow in my lifetime.
I think that’s where the purity starts. Hibs aside (and again, because of those, I’ll happily never know an alternative) I reckon there are about 100 leagues across the world (and ‘non leagues‘ whatever this means, not aimed at you, just a shite term ) that I’d go out of way to watch, before indulging in watching the ‘competition’ of branded MLS razzamatazz. By any measure the best and most competing leagues are European, and beyond that South American, (also very pure by the way).
Yes, but the discussion wasn’t just about football. And I disagree on the ‘purity’ issue. A load of big euro clubs just tried to create a closed shop. These guys aren’t our friends.
Ach, nah. it really is about football. They’re not our friends of course they’re not, but neither are Falkirk, Aberdeen or QOS. Nor were Third Lanark or Clydebank, Neither are Chelsea or Arsenal. Neither are those chaps Corinthians…(Either of them) . Hate to say it, I’d rather be a tourist at a mental Celtic v Rangers game or at a Dundee Street v the other lot’s Street game, than say something involving Colorado 69ers….(then again, now I’ve written that…)
Job site?
No got a clue what I done. ..I tried to post a link from this mornings Scottish Sun about Mueller but its not working for some reason
Don’t think yi can link they rags on here mate.
fuckin unbelievable. You could probably get the best SPL player out with Glasgow (and even some of their players too) on that wage with plenty change left over! Another masterstroke by the recruitment team at Hibs
Wis pasting Thomos link that went tae a job site. Yi cannae post links tae they rags on here. Journos probs got that info on here, I fuckin hope. As Tricky said Mueller on 1500 a week in USA, he must have got a good payoff tae go back tae that.Think hibby billy may have been trying to paste the S*n article saying Mueller was on 10k a week
That was my thinking as well, they have aggregated the total left on the contract (if its been paid off and this is not a loan back to MLS) and came to the 10K total p/w rather than the actual salary.
HA! Yep, you're right, I got totally whoooshed there. A textbook whoosh, in fact!@aggie WHOOSH there as I thought my spelling of 'love' might obviate the use of a facetious smilie
Reporting today that he was on 10K for a 28 day month.
Seems more realistic, he'd have more than likely been given a lift on his £1.5k p/w to compensate for relocating to Scotland. On paper it was a good signing, one of those Expectation v Reality things!
Either BBC Gossip has amended it's post or I f***ed up - I'm sure when I read it over my porridge this morning it said 10K per four weeks for the four months he was here. Either way, you can kick my arse
All we have are rumors right now. Ron has stated that his son is a go between, not a scout. FFS these things grow arms and legs and this shit just adds fuel to the fire. He explained his son basically looks into if the players scouted are viable and in our budget.
