 Championship Quality
Topic Originator: Jock Par36

The quality of the Scottish Championship, is of poor football
teams. I hate to say that Falkirk are the only decent team in
our league. If they get promoted, they will have a decent chance
of staying up. The rest of us are not very good. Livingston were
the worst team in the Premiership last season and the look
maybe 2cd best in our league, but they have no chance of winning a play
off, if they make it.

It isn`t poor because of the players or managers

Nobody on this forum would get anywhere close to being involved at this level.

There is plenty of quality, but they are all terrified of relegation, so mostly set up not to lose.

There is little difference between the individual players and coaching staff at this level. It would take a lot bigger income advantage than we have to make a significant difference.

Most games are won on a rub o the green


Familiarity and equality stagnate the product.
There is no point saying players are crap when they are just being cancelled out by opposition players of equal ability.

Until the league structure is changed, decent players will look poor, and managers will take the flack.

David Martindale spoke very well about the need for larger divisions a few days ago. I hope others start to speak up about this as well.

I’d be willing to bet that Livi win the league by 5 points. There’s no chance that Falkirk have the squad depth or alternative playing style to win the league. McGlynn has always been a one trick pony.

The problem is that increasing the league sizes only benefits Scottish Football in the long term.

Short term - we need 4 OF games a season to keep that sweet sweet TV deal. (sarcasm, I know it`s rubbish, but it`ll get worse without 4 OF games).

Short termism wins out over long termism every single time.
