Watched the Motherwell v Rangers game this morning. Scottish football has fallen so so far, it was an appalling example of helter skelter football. The game just keeps creeping backwards further and further each year domestically and at senior male age group level. A complete lack of talent coming through ( Ive watched plenty of other games) which is very depressing given how Scotland used to produce so many top class players. What makes it worse is that the fan base seems to be completely oblivious to the lack of quality of players being produced and spends most of its time moaning about managers and peripheral stupidity.
Are there any signs anywhere things might improve?
Is your username just a username or are you the Alf Stamp that played for Caversham?
Back on topic, I was actually at the game you are talking about - it was entertaining as a fan but agree the football was great. Very rarely is.
I think there's a current crop of youngsters coming through as some clubs. Motherwell in particular, guys like Campbell, Hastie - now Rangers, and Turnbull - failed move to Celtic, all seem promising. Lewis Ferguson at Aberdeen looks a decent prospect.
The Rangers Reserve team that won the league this year is mostly a U19 team that seem promising from the handful of games I have watched and the Premiership has more sides who try and play football compared to a few years back. Levein continually gives 16/17/18 year olds chances too at Hearts.
