| SWEET F ALL This is not a leader to a story, this is my view, am i entitled to a view ?, yes i am. From this keyboard i have done my best over the last 8 years to promote the Scottish game accross the globe. In a single statement the SFA have ruined everything promoters, like myself have done and turned themselves, The Scottish Football Association into a laughing stock worldwide. While the Russian Football Federation are doing everything they can to help Zenit prepair to take on one of our clubs, the SFA will have done absolutely nothing and deserve no credit whatsoever if Rangers wipe the floor with their Russian opponents. How many games did we play when we got to the Uefa Cup Final ?, makes no difference as it's time we all pulled together and gave all of our clubs all the assistance needed to be successful in Europe. Is it any wonder that our 2 top clubs are desperate to leave the Scottish Premier League ?, do'nt think so and that would be a sad day for us all. Andy, editor@theroadtohampden.co.uk |
