Looking at Celtic's forum (Re: David Turnbull)

I'm not putting scouts on a pedestal, I think your average fan has less of a clue than you think.

Regarding pundits, I guess it depends on what you are after. During a game there's no time for any detailed analysis, but when time allows I reckon the likes of Keown and Dixon would destroy most fans with their knowledge.

There are idiotic fans no doubt about it, but you only have to have a chat with someone to work out if they know their stuff or not.

Just to clarify, are you suggesting many fans would have the knowledge of Keown or Dixon (or other pundits with decades of top flight experience)?
