hindsight is 20/20 vision Fisiani,it's alwright indulgin in theory,case studies and lab results,we're talking culture here,for thousands of years the celt's have had a drinking culture,it's who we are! we've gradually recognised bevvyin is not conducive in producing top class professional football/athletic performance,but we're gettin there,the other side of this is, since we've adopted sports science and psychology,this has been the least successful period in Scottish football history,as opposed to the drinking culture,where our teams were successful at the highest level in europe and we were held in the highest regard throughout the world, heid scratcher eh!!!!! geeza Stella!

Wow!!! Where to start? My gob has never been so smacked. "they believed it was good for team morale" was that 'belief' based on research or just 'Scottish common sense'. Scotland's boozing culture I can assure you is not ideal. It's appalling.
Let me tell you a true story. I met a young Maori lad of 14 and asked him if smoked or drank. He looked into my eyes, shook his head and said very respectfully. "No Sir. I play rugby league and I want to play for the Kiwis one day. He became the captain of the Kiwis and is now the National coach and has never smoked or drank alcohol. He is truly single minded sports professional.
Did they serve up fish and chips at the boozer also along with the multiple pints?

Henrik larsson Arthur boruc Neil Lennon etc etc etc
Smokers and drinkers and winners
No smack on the face just fact that not always the best interests for players necessarily work out.

Doc........I think that countries like NZ, Canada and Scotland have an affinity with each other.

Much of that comes from migration patterns, but the most striking comparison is our proximity to more obnoxious and overbearing neighbours.

In many instances, we find succor in being more successful in certain fields than our more resource-laden neighbours.

For a long period, Scotland excelled in education, science, engineering and economics. Canada found that diplomacy was a trait that could resolve conflict throughout the world, and (at the risk of being ignorant) New Zealand carved a niche by adopting the All Blacks as an icon of their national identity.

Unfortunately, in spite of these examples, countries like ours tend to resort to type and embrace our inferiority complex in spite of our bluff and bluster.

Alcohol and diet are a blight on our country, unfortunately - it is now what we are renowned for globally.

Visit any country in the world and when you describe Scorland the usual response is the tipping of an invisible glass to the mouth in lieu of a real one filled with alcohol.

I'm choking on my hypocrisy now and might need a wee tipple to wash it down- it might also dislodge that wee bone I got in my fish supper.

Very true, Michael. Alcohol should be taken out of football - and given to musicians instead. ? ? ?

Hahaha I'm that devout, I eat the fruit of the sea seven days a week, Bertie.

Usually because I'm pished and feart to cook in case I burn the hoose doon......I periodically go continental and get a pizza, but fish is my food of choice and the batter absorbs the batter.

I think I know how Ronny Deila felt when he saw what Scottish professional footballers assumed was the type of food and drink that a professional player should have. Anyway Work calls. patient just arriving. I'll have to absquatulate.
