[No.8]

Ok

Micky mouse league yep two of the biggest clubs in Europe but who actually watched iit! Wasn’t even interested in there cup game! They’ll be down to 1 champs league spot next now and can only see that league ending up pretty irrelevant in 20 years!

Per capita Scotland has the highest attendances in Europe

There's quite a few talking about it in here, including you. It was on Premier Sports so was never going to attract a big TV audience. I watched the second half, extra time and penalties on my Firestick.

its a shame as its actually a good, well supported league, but the truth is theres so little investment, even celtic and rangers aren't or are unable to spend big sums anymore. So when it comes to european competition we get shown up every season. The SFA are also massively to blame for lack of investment and proper planning at grassroots level - look at the likes of norway, Belgium and denmark where it has shown that even with a small population you can consistently develop top top players. Scottish football could, and should be so much better.

Yeah no doubt whatsoever those two clubs are massive but as we know it’s all about the money! Losing a champions league spot in the long run will have major effects to the league and why I said I twenty years time it could be irrelevant to fans outside of Scotland!

Rangers missed a trick when they got demoted down all those leagues they should have resigned from the Scottish league and go to the bottom of the English pyramid and make the journey to the premier!

Commentators everywhere; ‘nobody wants to see this’.

Everyone watching everywhere; *can’t take their eyes off it, watching with a smirk on their faces, saying, ‘haha, look at this!’*

Always makes me smile when they say that. Like they speak for anybody.

Too many wee neds running about thinking they're football ultras in Scotland I think.

Marching to matches down a main road behind a man with a drum, all dressed in dark clothes and some wearing face coverings.

Get a life lads.

Is this a record.
23 ( twenty three) red cards at the Brazilian cup final at the weekend.

I think the balaclavas will be first to go

 

[waspish]

Someone was going on about banning face covering now how will that work? You can use a scarf or anything to cover you face! Or do they cover there faces as they go in the ground and outside the grounds! Now if that the case you can refuse them entry

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

So will Rangers fans be totally banned from CP for the last derby league game?

There was talk of buying Carlisle United , who were also in serious financial trouble, but too many hoops to jump through to move the club to Glasgow.

Also talk about joining bottom of the pyramid but the English clubs weren’t overly keen as they didn’t have the stadiums to cope with the numbers of travelling fans. Also would have involved a lot of red tape.

I wouldn’t have been opposed to either option but as long as Celtic weren’t just parachuted in at a given time in the future. The thought of not being associated with them was a major appeal

I actually turned over to it; I was watching the AFC Wimbledon vs Northampton game which was godawful. Turned over in the hope of seeing better quality football. Doh!

 

[bennyboy]

Play the next 5 league games and any cup games in that time. behind closed doors

We didn't spend a coin in January in the most important window in 30 years.

Our Academy produces fuck all. No top striker since the early 80's. No goalie since fuck knows when.

Recruitment is off the shit charts. Mvuka? If proof were needed.

Apart from that we are so well run and I am not a valium addict. And I certainly wasn't thrown out of my anger mansgement group and asked to leave. I left befire anybody mentioned it.

Haven't been able to deal with the Hoops for years now. That's your issue. That causes all the angst.

Nobody is going anywhere. They wouldn't want us and neither would I. We have too many utter fucking bams.

 

[No.8]

Months after sacking Jimmy Thelin Aberdeen FC have decided to go for the inspired appointment of ….Drum Roll…. St Mirren manager Stevie Robinson!

Unbelievably underwhelming appointment by The Sheep. Was really hoping that they’d get their act together. Scottish football is better with a strong Aberdeen , Hearts , Hibs etc etc

Mote than happy with a strong Motherwell and Hearts

If the Premiership was to finish today, could an argument be made for Motherwell to be named team of the season? Obviously, Hearts would get the nod. And it's pretty much impossible to argue against it. But, AFAIAA, Motherwell wouldn't be as big a club as Hearts and, presumably, wouldn't have the resources available to them that Hearts would have (themselves minnows compared to the old firm). And, of course, Tony Bloom has invested in Hearts during the past year. Consequently, who has had the better campaign relative to the resources available to them?


"Nurse; my tablets. QUICKLY!!!!"

You could also make a strong case for Falkirk. There are a few Falkirk players in their first team squad who were with the club a couple of seasons ago in the third tier of Scottish football.

You’d miss the wee team if they weren’t there.
