ninety-minute nationalism

say for a minute that rangers being shit/going out of business is bad for scottish football.

thus, some pundits tell us, the spl will become so bad that inevitably, it will sink to the standard of the league of ireland and thus become a laughing stock throughout europe.

say that this is true. several facts then rear their head: the league of ireland is technically more competitive than the spl, in that there have been more than two different winners in the last 25 years. republic of ireland are higher than scotland in the FIFA rankings, and arguably have just as many world class players as scotland do. irish teams did as well as scottish teams in this years european cups, albeit abysmally.

so there you have it. whatever, fuck rangers, no-one needs them, cus football will go on thanksverymuch, and it will probably be just as good.
