Me either. Very good player, but far from world class.I’ll come under fire but I don’t see Robertson as world class.
That's just the store team!Farmfoods are catching up rapidly!Iceland has a population that is smaller than Edinburgh & probably has permafrost pitches most of the year yet they are higher than Scotland in the FIFA world rankings.
You're welcome you facetious cùntThanks for pointing that out. That’s incredible
Andy Robertson was named in the EPL Team of the Season and Champions League Squad of the Season as the ONLY out and out Left Back.Me either. Very good player, but far from world class.
LolI’ll come under fire but I don’t see Robertson as world class.
Following your logic, that would mean there are no world class left backs playing today?I'm in the same boat. He's class but never world class. He's never a Roberto Carlos, Cafu or Maldini etc.
Such an irrelevant argument you’re making
That's just the store team!Farmfoods are catching up rapidly!
That’s not true. As a coach of grassroots team, there are many points which can be improved but I’ll list some things I think are pertinent.
1. Refereeing is rubbish at every level.
2. We are so partisan that long term development is sacrificed in the name of winning.
3. Our love of alcohol.
4. Our horrific diet.
There will be a plethora of other reasons but personal self belief and positivity is so important if you want to make anything of your life.
The Scots used to lead the world, now we are a nation of moaners.
Just wait until we're get the results of Ernie Walker's thinktank.SFA ineptitude. They are wholly responsible for the Scottish game. The achievements of players, clubs and the national team is a reflection of the quality of their leadership !
The champions league winners medal didnt make him world class. Being world class made him world class. The guy is superb.Robertson isn't world class just because he won the champions League Paul Lambert won it and he was bang average.
How much of the Welsh thing is down to their clubs being in the English structure?I think it has something to do with such a small league set-up. We used to produce world class players before we reduced our top league to just 10 teams. Also, our young players do not playing against top young players outside Scotland enough. Wales, a much smaller country, can produce world class players. However, in football terms Wales is really part of England. Welsh youth players are regularly coming up against top talent from Chelsea, Man Utd etc.

Robertson is tremendous, but not world class, not a chance.
The argument that there are few better left backs playing, doesn’t automatically make him world class.
Thinking of genuine world class full backs of yesteryear, Maldini, Brehme, Lahm , Carlos etc, Robertson is a level below that.
No world class players if you listen to our media we have loads,Tierney,McGregor,Forrest,thumb heid,to name a few.
I’d say the players you mention are the level above world class.
World class, I’d say is the ability to perform well at the highest level - something Robertson has demonstrated for 2 years now.
Semantics
Do they need shoehorned into every single thread?
Robertson is a very good player, but World class?
No.
Because our talents lie in the drugs and alcohol industry, that’s where Scottish people thrive.
