You know, my biggest thing is, I keep saying to you now, there's too many substitutes for a start.
So it allows me to bring a big squad in.
You watch youth level, there's seven subs at the side of youth level, and it's all the way down.
So you have a lot of these boys not playing.
And it used to be anybody who wasn't good enough for Celtic or Rangers would go to Aberdeen, Dundee, United, you name it, all the way down the pyramid, but they were all playing.
And they were all excellent players.
That's why the other teams were so strong.
And was that with the reserves at that time?
But Paul, people think about the reserves.
People talk to me now as if the reserves was fully old men.
It wasn't.
No, it wasn't.
They carried squads.
People on the way up.
Paul, we won the league with 16 players.
Right.
That was what it was.
16 players.
Yes, 16 players were used.
You know, the managers wouldn't make a sub.
