3 of 4 Hmm, a ’sudden transference’ you say, Steve? Was he aware of the truth here? Two teams who started out with Dodoball and then became Scottish teams who happened to play in England? The #scotchprofessor saving both from insignificance.

4 of 5 Yes - I am a wee scamp. I still await any facts for the constant assertion in Dodoball books that Rugby was the more popular game in Scotland. If so, why did John Hope specifically, ban ‘lifting’ - picking up the ball. Was he then an outlier? If so, make your case. Thoughts and prayers.

4 of 4 So what? In 1878, 2 Welsh clubs are still playing the Sheffield Code. The Scottish Association had their own set of rules for 2 handed throw-ins and 2 man offsides. These are today’s world rules. Scotland was the First Nation to have national rules. Tell me again how the English FA...

4 of 4 So what? Can we infer from England having their dribbling mentioned that Scotland did not have this as the crucial part of their play? The Morning Post piece is a list of things that happened. Runs noted by English men but Scotland attacking referred to as a group. SCOTTISH Combination.

5 of 5 So What? I realise the dilemma. If you start accepting these issues, the entire web of English history unravels and disappears. This is why I expect to be long dead before the primacy of Scotland has been accepted. We’re probably twenty years away from a proper discussion even beginning.

5 of 5 So What? Scotland is a nation. Sheffield isn’t. Scotland had the first actual national Association. England got one in 1877 when the posh southerners killed off Sheffield. There, the Sheffield story ends. The SFA continued with 1886 and the IFAB. And it all goes back to places like Anwoth.

5 of 5 So what? ⅔ of Watson’s games were in Scotland, but the most influential were in England. Why? Because, without them, he would not have become the towering influence in the development of the world game. No Watson, no Corinthian passing and running. Tell me again, how...

4 of 5 If you don’t get this then - like me pre-1990 - you get nothing. After the 1882 5-1 humbling at the First Hampden, the English Establishment was broken. They could no longer kid themselves that they played Football. Pa Jackson founded Corinthian to learn how to play Scottish Combination.
