I completely agree about too much football on tv and I would never have thought I would say that 10-15 years ago. I struggle to find any enthusiasm to watch group stage European football these days and I find half the Premier games I don't bother with either. You couldn't pay me £15 to watch Palace as a neutral.
Interesting stuff about the Scottish Leagues, it really is some mix of talent then. One the one hand you have the likes of a Van Dijk, Tierney (very impressed with what I've seen of him in Arsenal games by the way) and at the other you have a Kabamba who we picked up from non league and with the best will in the world looked like Bambi on ice in the few games he had for us. Ends up at Kilmarnock, via Hartlepool (!) and scores in his first game against Celtic.
When you look at some of the teams who have been in the Premier and done pretty well, like Bournemouth as you say, then there's no reason an Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts couldn't do that in the same situation.
