You can't really have an opinion on medical facts mate.Heading a football doesn't cause dementia.
It may not help, but it certainly sn't the cause.

Maybe they just weren't as good as you think they were?Scotland teams have let the country down disgracefuly over the years. We've had some genuinely world class players, but time after time the supporters have been let down by them. The fans had every right to expect to get to the 2nd stage in 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986 and even 1990 World Cups, but a lack of professionalism, preparation, concentration and passion let the country down every time.
I wanted to hate him as much as everyone else but he was one of our key players in our last spell of continuous success. He was getting better and better as well in terms of goalscoring rate prior to moving on again.The Ibrox atmosphere is a myth and is pretty dreadful
Kenny Miller was massively underrated
Walter was far too negative in the UEFA Cup final and cost us the game with the approach
Perhaps, but to not get out of the first group stage in FIVE attempts? Come on tae f#ck....Maybe they just weren't as good as you think they were?
I probably lasted longer than most then, to be fair. But yeah, jumpers for goalposts!This whole post can be translated to I'm now over 25 in almost all cases.
Sammy Cox, Bobby Shearer, Sandy Jardine.Andy Robertson and Scott Mctominay are two massively over-rated footballers.
Tav is the best RB to have played for Rangers.
The best thing about VAR is it shows how utterly stupid offside is. Who cares where someone's toe is in comparison to someone else's toe? Scrap it now.
That'll be why one dominated the Premier League and Europe while the other signed for Blackburn and potentially never got past a group stage?
When you say "one of the first" are there actually any others?Celtic are the passing kings of Europe. And Ange with his Angeball is the best which is why he will be 1 of the first guys in World Football to manage a team in the CL, Europa Cup, and the Conference Cup in the same season.
The point of a salary cap isn’t to prop up the owner’s pension fund, it’s to make it a more even playing ground between Clubs.Footballers don’t get paid too much.
It isn’t public money, it’s private money. And considering the majority of PL clubs are owned by foreign million/billionaires, if we put a cap on wages to say 30K a week, it’s not as if the extra would then go into the NHS or the schools, it would just be sitting in some billionaires bank account offshore.
Let them them pay as much as they want, it’s wages and tax into the country that if we stopped it, that tax revenue would simply be lost and no one would be better off for it, except the owners of the clubs.
ThisSammy Cox, Bobby Shearer, Sandy Jardine.
Yeah it would be good for football and make a more even playing ground in that country. However my point is about wages in general, you usually hear that “footballers are so overpaid, nurses or teachers only get x amount”.The point of a salary cap isn’t to prop up the owner’s pension fund, it’s to make it a more even playing ground between Clubs.

A brilliant footballerFrancesco Totti was on the same level as Figo and Zidane his loyalty to Roma stopped him being talked about in the same breath as those two
Nowhere near Zidane though.A brilliant footballer
TBH I only said 1 of the first as I couldn't be arsed looking to see if anyone else was.When you say "one of the first" are there actually any others?
I'm not really up to speed on it, but how many clubs started in the Champions League and are now in the conference?
People have this image of Brazil as being a brilliant fluent team with skilful footballers pulling tricks out all over the place with an abundance of flair.Brazil have flattered to deceive for most of my life. I'm 55 and haven't ever really seen this great footballing team...

The truth is that they’ve generally been a physically powerful, functional and quite cynical team with a scattering of talented individuals, outwith a couple of ‘golden’ generations.
The last ‘samba’ team was 1982, and they won nothing. Since then they do not deserve the hype.Brazil have flattered to deceive for most of my life. I'm 55 and haven't ever really seen this great footballing team...
One trophy with Roma is worth ten elsewhere.Francesco Totti was on the same level as Figo and Zidane his loyalty to Roma stopped him being talked about in the same breath as those two
I look forward to the international break
The best XI from 15/16 years ago would destroy the best XI from now.
Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace were right for calling it out. If McGregor and Davis done it they'd be lauded for it.
The fact that in 07/08 there was 3 Scottish teams in Europe after christmas, for 1 to be knocked out by Barcelona, one by Bayern Munich and the other to make a final is an embarrassment that Clubs who do make it outwith us and the rotten mob are quite happy to just make it to the 1st ECL qualifying round and go out
People always look at this with nostalgia. Robben, Muller, Lahm all from one side off the top of my head. Walk in to any team from 15 years ago.Give us the best 11 from today and the best 11 from 15 years ago.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but it's worth noting that guys like Salah have absolutely smashed records held by the likes of Henry.
isn’t that why the nations league was introduced? To make games more important?International football should be competitive games only. No international friendlies
Meant to be yeah. But there are still friendlies that are played which should be totally scrapped IMOisn’t that why the nations league was introduced? To make games more important?
I know what you mean. I’d love a more competitive league. One where we don’t have 3 stands at away grounds. Where points can be dropped anywhere. Teams of real quality. I’m only 31. If I ever see another team win the spl it’ll be because a billionaire bought them for some reason.A non old firm team doing a Leicester, somehow winning the league this year, and getting the direct £30m champions league money pot, would be the best thing to happen for Scottish football (including us) in the long term.
Obviously it’s not something I want to see *actually* happen, as we’d be missing out on it.
