I think we all understand the parameters involved in arguing about what might or might not have happened 30 years ago, even mikec's new best friend, once he's sweated out the disappointment and Kronenbourg of last night, might see it as a claim too far.
I agree that there probably were a few who decamped north of the border for European glory and all the fish suppers you can eat, and I am overstating the paucity of Scottish football, but I stand by the claim that it was a class below the English game throughout the European ban.
Also, interesting that old red nose was mentioned as wasn't it slap bang in the middle of the ban that he made the move south away from the possibility of European competition?
