18 times is more than a coincidence??

I'd imagine most clubs that won all their titles prior to the influx of overseas players for the PL could have a similar situation (not 18 obv).

If having a socttish player in your team is a prerequisite for a title win then what the hell were all your other managers doing not signing one! ?

If you look at the era when you won most of them, how teams were made up at that time, then it isn't really. If Chelsea or City had a similar record, new era wins, then it would stand out more as exceptional.

Annoyingly, the player in question is very, very good. He isn't picked for his 'lucky Scot' credentials :LOL:

They did , but we ended up with the likes of Charlie Adam ???
 
Keiren Tripper banned from all football by the FA. I can't understand how footballers get caught out breaching gambling rules. Stupidity.

Has Keiren Trippier's credibility gone now he's been found guilty for gambling?

Should he ever represent England again?

I don’t think he’s actually good enough. Not when you Have TAA and amd Reece James with Walker as cover for rb and cb.

I personally think it’s stupidity, but at the same time a lot will say it’s an addiction and he needs help not ostracising.

Whilst I agree to an extent, he needs to accept responsibility and take both the ban and any help if he has an addiction.

I doubt he's got an addiction, he's been done for passing info on about his move to AM. The problem with this sort of stuff is people get greedy. So instead of having a couple of ton on something they don't, they smash the arse out of it.

Tbf I'd not seen the details of the case. I thought it was him just betting.

If he's effectively used insider trading then imo that's bringing the game into disrepute and to represent England you should be beyond reproach. This fails in that count. That being said, there are lots of players that by that standard should of had less caps....

Sod off. Only "Clear and Obvious" when the game has been stopped and the pitch covered in lines☹

Son's was a close one, you'll have to remind me which City one?

On a side note, only having VAR in the semis and final devalues the competition for me.
 
Papas1982 said:
I presumed that was the case. Its more the fact that of how it was worded tbh.

It came a across as though you weren't capable of winning a title without some sort of trate a Scotsman brings to your team, when realistically that's just a coincidence.

One of the leagues we won around the early 1900's, we were called the team of macs, think it had 6 or 7 macs in it.

Liverpool traditionally recruited Scottish players, Everton recruited Irish. Its why Everton are more traditionally associated as a tiny bit more Catholic/Irish than us, but not markedly so with Catholic and proddies supporting both in more or less equal measure.

Yeah I totally get the historical references you n stu raise.
just think it’s pie in the sky to think it’s anything more than coincidental that you won because you had Robbo.

I agree. We can't know of course if its an addiction or taking advantage of a situation but he definitely shouldn't get anywhere an England side again, not that I thought he was that good when he did.

I do with regards to winning the last one, but Liverpool as a football club has always had lots of Scottish players, and as I said one of the early league titles were called the team of Macs, and we all love a bit of tradition. As a city it has always had a strong connection with Scotland also, on WW1 we had the Liverpool Scottish regiments.

Newcastle and Manchester may have also, I dont know.

Yeah im pretty much in the same page Pete.

Even without your tradition, logic dictates most teams will of had more brits in them Pre PL.
Give it 20 years and you’ll be talking about how you’ve never won a PL without an ex Saints player ;)
