Football is a sport, those playing football professionally are expected to show sportsmanship. Here's a wee definition of sportsmanship:
Sportsmanship typically is regarded as a component of morality in sport, composed of three related and perhaps overlapping concepts: fair play, sportsmanship and character. Fair play refers to all participants having an equitable chance to pursue victory and acting toward others in an honest, straightforward, and firm and dignified manner even when others do not play fairly. It includes respect for others, including team members, opponents, and officials
From this, we can see that there is sportsmanship, and what passes as sportsmanship in the OF-dominated SPL. Two different things completely. Time for the "diddy 10" to stand up and be counted especially with the current back-story of trying to improve Scottish football's lot on the world stage. Scottish football has been set back decades by the Old Firm's chase for cash and their basis in hatred of their rivals - it is THAT hatred that has fueled them over the years, that need to be better than the other one - not any desire on their part to push Scottish football onwards and upwards. If Scottish football is to flourish, it is going to be via the efforts of the provincial clubs so we need to have a level playing field, not one where the odds are stacked heavily in favour of two clubs hellbent on recreating centuries-old battles and other influences that are hee-haw to do with football. We need to see the return of true sportsmanship. We need a level playing field if Scottish football is ever to have a sporting chance again.
