Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted February 2, 2007 To add to the list of quality Scottish footballers who have played for City, how about Kenny Foggo, Jimmy Bone and Ted Macdougal? I have no problem with the nationalities of players we bring in as long as they''re good enough. In the cases of our most recent signings we can have no idea whether they will make the grade until they''ve played a few games. On the Scottish question, it will be interesting to see how many Scots are involved at Carrow Road at all levels if PTP stays for a few seasons. The English could be in the minority in 2 or 3 years time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted February 2, 2007 [quote user="Polar1990"]whats wrong with scots? they have a good bit of fight , are use to being the under dogs alot of the time and know how to play football.if there are players who are scottish coming to us who are good its better than players from other countires coming who are bad.grant has an advantage other managers dont have, scottish connections, hence thats where the players coming from, a reason why i think we didnt have any competition for lappin as Grant asked around scotland for a lef sided midfielder before stumbling across lappin.nothing wrong with scottish players.[/quote]But only a few of them, Polar, only a few.Which one''s have we got?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The poster formerly known as ? 0 Posted February 3, 2007 European Championship Qualifying : Group B Table PWDLFAGDPTS1Scotland430193692France4301112993Italy421175274Ukraine320154165Lithuania311133046Georgia410399037Faroe Islands4004018-180 Now remind me again, which two teams contested the latest World Cup final?Although I would have liked some big name/big money signings as much as the next man, and feel there is much wrong with the way the club has been managed over a period of several years, I''m fairly upbeat about the two new signings. Possibly just possibly this heralds a return to the Norwich we knew and loved of the 70''s 80''s and even early 90''s? Days when we stuck our neck out and brought in young, hungry but unproven players from lower leagues or the Scottish/Welsh/Irish divisions, led by a couple of seasoned pros who''d reached the very top of the game. I''d far rather have the likes of Lappin and Fotheringham at the Club than overpaid, underconcerned journeymen. It''s a gamble I know but it''s patently obvious we don''t have much of a transfer fund, the clubs cash seems to have been thrown at bad deal after bad deal. It''s time to tighten the belt, accept that we''ve P!$$ed away our best chance of making the big time since the second year of the Premiership, we''re going to need players with grit in the weeks and probably years ahead and if just one of the two new recruits from North of the border displays the fight and ambition we come to expect of the Scots, then at 50% that''s a far better success rate than we''ve experienced over the last half dozen years.Watch the match at Twickenham today and tell me afterwards you don''t want some of that passion in your team, I predict Scotland will beat England on home turf, and that doesn''t happen very often at all!

To be perfectly honest I suspect I''m a better fan than some of your so called "born and bred" fans who sit on their hands quietly for 40mins, then waddle off to grab a pie before the queues form, repeat for the second half except if we score they''ll have to stand up and clap politely but luckily for them thats very rare these days and finally at 85mins they waddle out quickly to be the first back to their car.
