Comments on: Are The Major Countries Proposing A Footballing Master Race For Qualifying? http://stateofthegame.co.uk/2006/09/05/are-the-major-countries-proposing-a-footballing-master-race-for-qualifying/ Football News, Views, Articles and Discussion Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:34:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Alan Hylands http://stateofthegame.co.uk/2006/09/05/are-the-major-countries-proposing-a-footballing-master-race-for-qualifying/#comment-6827 Alan Hylands Tue, 05 Sep 2006 13:08:45 +0000 http://stateofthegame.co.uk/2006/09/05/are-the-major-countries-proposing-a-footballing-master-race-for-qualifying/#comment-6827 I actually got the sic bit from reading your articles so maybe I should have credited you again;-) It was your post on the forum that got me going on this one this morning and the sheer ludicrosy and hypocrisy of some of those commenters in the BBC article. Alan Hansen in particular has a real cheek. Are Scotland world beaters again after beating the Faroes? What about a couple of years ago when they struggled to draw with them? Maybe Tom and Fraser who write for us could clarify what the Tartan Army would think of Hansen's views? We're losing the game to the moneymen and these supposed football men aren't helping us keep it. I actually got the sic bit from reading your articles so maybe I should have credited you again;-)

The arrogance of some of these so called experts amazes me. Alan Hansen has a similar article on the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/5312304.stm) website now. Not to long ago Scotland were also European minnows! An appreciation of what football is really all about should be a pre-requisite before comments like these are made. The game, not the money!
