In fairness, as a player, Donnelly did resemble Dalglish. Paul Dalglish. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate the way that Scotland copied England, but the use of just the premiership should refer to our league. It's shite but it's our shite. I don't think the English Premier League has ever been called the Premiership. Was the first division and became the EPL in 92. Think the reason people call it the Premiership has to do with the next league down being the Championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked further into it and it was the Carling Premiership from 93 to 01 then the Barclays Premiership until 07 and has since been the Premier League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So apart from that brief fourteen season snapshot in its epoch spanning 26.5 year existence, it's never been called the Premiership. You were so close to being right earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just a bit uncertain because he might flop at Hibs (like Watt at Hearts and St Johnstone) and if that happens it would be unlikely he'll ever reach full international level. I think (and hope) he will be a success at Hibs, but there's just that niggling doubt. Is he out of contract at the end of this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
