Rant over. The last I heard, the Scottish and English were of the same race
gerrytaggart Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 Im sure google can put this whole jock debate to rest. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=jock&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdnavFjpDVAhWQalAKHdVSDyIQ_AUICSgB&biw=360&bih=512#imgrc=_

No one watches scottish football except the Jocks . They are a big fish in a very little pool. I doubt any of their players would last five minutes in the English Prem. Unfair. Van Dijk and Davies - both at Southampton are quality in the PL. James McCarthy and James McCarthur both came from Hamilton and don't look out of place, Liverpool are set to sign Roberton who has impressed at Hull since joining from Dundee, Snodgrass has been consistent at this level for some years now as has Charlie Adam.... If Celtic were in the PL and had all the money our clubs get I have no doubt they'd be good and an attraction for any player. They are a big club and their fan base is huge.

That's if it's true. seems like news story fodder to me

Milo Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 Looks like this will happen, unfortunately. For all my whinging about him last year, I will be sorry to see him go, tbh

Redouane Posted 17 July 2017 Author Posted 17 July 2017 1 hour ago, Fox92 said: Juventus have played in two of the last three Champions League finals. They would walk the Premier League. Definitely not a "crap" league. Roma finished about three points off Juve last season. Also finished second or third the season before. I'm not saying that Juventus or Roma are "bad". I'm saying the league is corrupt.

As we could quite easily get another 9 million for a 60 mil big money move to Barcelona
Scotch Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 I'm Scottish and really don't mind the term Jock. I have noticed though that the people who use it in relation to football especially, ate generally the English fans that give England fans a bad name.
KFS Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 Guys can we read the thread title before posting please? Talking about Scottish people ffs.
WigstonWanderer Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 4 hours ago, RumbleFox said: Live up here too and I have to agree with you. You will probably be accused of being "one of the PC brigade" but I must admit to cringing when I hear "the jocks". Are we living in 1975? Anyway, of course Celtic are a big fish in a little pond and of course Scottish football is not on par with the best in the world but, as you point out, it doesn't mean no decent player can ever play up here. Mahrez played for a team one could argue is less good than Celtic, as did Vardy. Albrighton could not even get a game for a struggling Villa team. It would seem silly to not look at "less able" teams/divisions as clearly, backed up by empirical evidence, sometimes gems can be unearthed. X Hey, nothing wrong with 1975. One of my favourite years! You must be a yearist.

Based on that logic, Tom Lawrence and Benny are off, as is Iborra. They all look well cheesed off. Elliott Moore not looking too happy either (Kasper looks borderline!) Love Kingy in the pic. They told him to pull no face at all. Otherwise he'd make the other thread!
norwichfox Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 Maguires face there reminded me a little of a very young short chinned version of Jimmy Hill

The players you mentioned are all playing in the English Premiership why do you think that is ? As for the terminology " Jocks " Christ get a life some of you. Can we no longer refer to our late great manager Jock Wallace ? Do you cry yourself to sleep if you get called a Sassanack ? Grow up.

Glad you used this thread to seize every opportunity to grind your irrelevant axes. You're a real asset to the forum.

wattolcfc Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 The jocks only contribution to the world is Irn-Bru, everyone knows that!
LeicesterMassive123 Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 Would take Mirallas + money if Everton are interested
