Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 That is just nonsense, and is disrespectful to players who must fit their football around their need to earn a living outside the game. So we haven't been playing against part-timers for the past 2 seasons? What a strange comment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 So we haven't been playing against part-timers for the past 2 seasons? What a strange comment. If you read my post you will see that I refer to them being part-time players. If you look at what I was replying to you will realise that there was nothing at all strange about the comment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You highlighted me saying we aren't playing professionals and said that was nonsense. What I said was perfectly valid bar the odd exception eg Dunfermline. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 There is a difference between part-time and professional. What ? That's exactly what I'm saying. Are you on the wind up? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,803 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You do not need to be a professional to be a good or at least decent enough footballer. Especially if you've played the game for a decade or two. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 What ? That's exactly what I'm saying. Are you on the wind up? You don't know what you are saying. Gothenburg won the UEFA Cup with a team of part-time professional players. Sir Tom Finney became one of the finest players to pull on an England shirt while moonlighting as a plumber in the family firm. Even modern day players have outside interests such as modelling, doing endorsement deals, and attending corporate events at the behest of sponsors. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhunter 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Your valued opinion is very much appreciated. If you are going to call something nonsense then you do really have to say why you think that. Makes your post even worse nonsense I am afraid. There is so much wrong with it , it should be self evident. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the nth time, I said most of the teams we have been playing have not been professionals, they have been part-timers. How you can object to a stated fact is anyone's guess. This isn't the first time you have done this. As for your second point, what happened decades ago is irrelevant given how football has changed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
