Legit 4 way race. Motherwell very capable of winning game in hand and hearts.

What a strange piece. It tries to be deep but it’s also quite shallow and all over the place. It also ignores the paradox that Scottish football is both incredibly uncompetitive at the top yet still has big attendances per capita (apparently even without the Old Firm), or that the German Bundesliga has a title fight once every five years yet remains a bastion of fan culture and attendances. Alternatively, the Serie A has been quite competitive and exciting in the last years, yet there everything is awful. But I digress.
> The idea is out there that younger people will be happy with [the state of modern football], will feast instead on clips, screengrabs, parasocial celebrity worship; that young people are essentially industrialised idiots who have for the first time in all human existence lost the craving for actual narrative.
That idea seems to be well supported by the fact that people, often younger people, flock to “support” those same mega clubs instead of supporting their shit local teams, Hearts, or even a smaller Premier League team. You might say that younger people in general aren’t as interested in watching sports nowadays, but I think that’s part of a much broader issue than just boring title races. I mean, younger people also don’t watch movies and TV or read books as much, they just spend their time differently.

The Squires cartoon at the bottom is far more interesting. Can you imagine a tifo supporting Michael Stewart?
