ABSTRACT

It will not surprise the readers of this journal that the Scots had a significant influence on the code of football most Australians probably still call soccer. What is less well known is their positive and negative impact on the domestic code, known by outsiders as Australian Rules, but internally by fiat of the Australian Football League as Australian football. This is a much more complex story involving massacres of Indigenous people, but also supporting them at a time when the majority of the incomers regarded them as less than human. Scots played a vital part in the origin and early history of the Australian code and on both sides of the big split over professionalism in the 1890s. Scots were the first to form soccer clubs based on the communities and allegiances from which they had come rather than geographical districts in Australia, with implications for image of the game and its place in Australian society thereafter.

摘要

苏格兰人对大多数澳大利亚人可能仍然称之为足球的足球准则产生了重大影响，这不会令本期刊的读者感到惊讶。鲜为人知的是它们对国内法典的正面和负面影响，外界称其为澳大利亚规则，但在内部被澳大利亚足球联盟称为澳式足球。这是一个复杂得多的故事，涉及对土著人民的屠杀，但在大多数收入者认为他们不如人的时候也支持他们。苏格兰人在澳大利亚法典的起源和早期历史中发挥了重要作用，并且在 1890 年代关于职业精神的大分裂的双方都发挥了重要作用。苏格兰人是第一个根据他们来自的社区和忠诚而不是澳大利亚的地理区域组建足球俱乐部的人，
