What I really have trouble understanding about these guys is that they're not even that good, yet they think they should be allowed to stroll about, play like shite and still get paid a lot of money.
If truly great players like Iniesta, Xavi, Schweinsteger, Frings, etc etc, can all knock their pans in during a game, as well as grace it with skill and passion, how the fuck do we get lumbered with players too bored to play for us, too lazy to try or who think they're better than they are and yet seem willing to go a lower level english division just because they'll get a bit more money.
People like Duff, Young and Mackie are not the best players in the world - not by a long shot, but at least you know you will get a full game's worth of honest endeavour out of them. In the SPL, a team of tryers won't perform at a worse level than the current pile of mince we've been watching this season.
Drawing 4-4 with the Green and White shite, and a win over the blue shite, might be all very jolly and thrilling, but it's against those teams that, realistically, we should be comfortable against, that our record is absymal.
4 points from Falkirk
4 points from Hamilton
4 points from St Johnstone
4 points against Kilmarnock (with 1 more game to come)
6 points against St Mirren ( " " " " )
None of those teams have "quality" - they just seem to try harder.
