Ah so because england won the world cup makes fa coaching much better? i think not.

Our coaching system and structure is far more stable than the fa. Why alot of coachs come up to scotland to do there badges.

Have a look at this site in your own time and then your fa site and tell me how you feel about both the fa coaching structure and the sfa coaching structure.

And well england havnt won anything since the fa coaching set up was up and running either. Just thought id put that childish remark in for you.

g man
They come up to Scotland cos its cheaper.It may well be better than the English FA I,m not arguing that this is not an english v Scots debate but what has it achieved.
You see g man and I really want you to concentrate here!!
the coach education system is supposed to train coaches in your country to coach the game so that scottish players become excellent and scottish teams win things and the scottish national team win things thats why we have the coaching scheme g man thats what the coaching scheme is supposed to do to produce coaches to make scottish soccer the best it can be,not so that overseas coaches can get their meaningless Uefa badges cheaper.
Now g man and i,m really challenging your intellect here,what great players are you producing that compare with Baxter,Law,Johnstone,McKay,Bremner,Dalglish or compared with the Celtic team that won the European cup with all Scottish players. I can,t comment on the national team cos you haven,t and don,t look like winning anything but I do know in the 70,s Scotland did ok in the World Cup considering the size and population.Now you rarely qualify and the team has no household names.
So g man I,m basically saying is that you haven,t got a clue[/b]

Scotland is the country that beat france in france. A small nation like us beat the world cup finalists. Not to bad. And here you have england the country that has one of the best leagues in the world yet you cant qualify for the euros. Sounds embarssing to me. Look at greece they won the euros and they did throught team spirit. Yet i bet you would say england are better. Could you name 11 players from the greece squad who won the euros?

And no its not cheaper here so please dont say a comment like that when clearly its a lie. Now i know you are a lier and i dont waste my time with liers my debate on this is over.

Ha Ha Gman. The reason im laughing is because i think you are now the umpteenth person to have fallen out with Colin. If you notice no one entertains his biased views anymore. It was only a matter of time before he put you down and you decided enough was enough. This particular area has gone quiet and its not hard to see why if you catch my drift.

G Man
You never answered my question read the post.Name me the great players you are producing at the moment and the great teams that is what i was pointing out.As a kid my favourite was Dennis Law.The imports in to the English league were mainly Scots who were tremendous players.Often an English kids favourite player was a scot.Not now.
Celtic won the Uero with a Scots Team not now.Think about it What is your coaching scheme for!!
Take no notice of Strass he,s happy to be 2nd rate and he,s even trying to encourage franchise holders to be 2nd rate.Ian will be on next.
Please G man don,t join that gang!!

Colin, you insult everyone you speak to. Be childish all you like, but consider that a man of your self stated standing should really try and behave a little more like an adult. Still whatever makes you happy. I here that there ploughing 200 million into grass roots football, maybe you should get off your soapbox, put together a business plan, go and haggle for a slice of it, put together an out of this world coaching scheme, that results in your favoured 75% english players in the premiership then come back and say i told you so. That should keep you busy for a while. Like i said before, quit moaning, go and do something constructive that can be held up to everyone to signal a national change instead of patting yourself on the back for the in roads you feel youve made on your blade of grass. We can all do that colin we can all do that.

wow strass
i made the offer you were too scared to take it up.you talk a good game but only talk it

As your new mod, I don't mind a bit of a debate - but calm it a bit. If not this section is locked.

Well millsy theres only 1 person on here that keeps putting others down with childish comments and insults to the point were its not a debate its 1 mans crusade against the FA and anyone who doesnt share the same view is shot down in flames. Its not hard to tell who is doing the shooting if you have read a few posts. That said, Colin if you have information to share then share it and stop playing holier than thou. Ill give it my full attention.

Like I said, this will be LOCKED if there is any more trouble

This forum is public - anyone can view it without registering. So keep it clean, and keep it safe.

Fair enough Millsy.but it was only handbags at 4 paces.Apologies to Strass

At least we can act like adults over it. Now back to topic!

Apologies accepted Colin!

Lets hope so.
