My mate had been going to Inverness for years and loved the place, so managed to get a driving job with Scotrail at Inverness and loves it. He reckons the midges aren't a problem in the town so never seems to mention them.
As for the prem league its a joke, to many very average players getting silly money. There are a few quality players that deserve to be here and do light the league up, but there are some players that just get here on something like a French passport but are a joke. The problem gets worse when the lower league clubs import foreign players. There must be lads that aren't good enough for the prem clubs but would be good enough for the lower league clubs, but no they have foreign players instead.
Years ago the key players of a lot of the top English were Scots, but now there are hardly any Scottish players in the premier league. Again if Scottish lads aren't playing at the highest level its is going to harm your national team. I have listened to the names of some of the players on sportscene and a lot of them are certainly not Scottish.
The best players are to be found in Spain and our leagues failings are often shown when playing Spanish clubs. Germany seems to be a place where a lot of the players are actually German and we know the seem to do rather well in major competitions.

I'm a Real Madrid fan..
I got a 'punt'(lift over turnstiles) on that night in Glasgow, 1960..aye I'm that old...
I fell in love with 'Los Meringues' and have followed them ever since...
I see the Premier League now going to 'crawl' Vine and other online sites to remove goal clips...
You now need to pay the /satellite cable companies to watch the live games..
Football has sold out as I still believe football should all be played as traditional on Sat afternoons at 3pm..by all means one game per week on a Sun but clubs are just shafting their fans..
One London club now wants £?? for a London derby ?
You may had a giggle about my local team..the mighty 'Ton
