You can say 'fuck' all you like. It's something anybody can type, it gives me no impression of you and means cock-all to those with any sense.Oh fuck off.
I am not Celtic bashing i'm telling the truth. If there was such a thing as me having a '2nd club' in Scotland, it would be Celtic. So I saw them against the paperboy's 11 last week & I know exactly what their level is.
They played very well on the night, but not well enough that we shouldn't have beaten them. I would be proud if I wa a Celtic fan, they held a vastly superior team to a draw. We have been in that situation ourselves many times. But we don't then turn it into bullshit.
Suddely we're 'scared' & they are a top 4 side in the Prem, when in reality, Bournemouth would beat them 9 times out of 10 if they payed here & any decent players they had, would leave. That's how it ACTUALLY works here, it takes fucking years to consolidate, as everyone knows.
I hate bullshit, & we are being fed it by the bucketload.
Sleep on it. You've got some kind of agenda and frankly it's becoming boring as fuck. Get over that game and start supporting the team you're supposedly meant to follow.
I had already gone, but I came back AGAIN to answer you, defending your beloved team, against what ? Me saying they aren't as good as City. Well they're not.
You seem to think I'm not allowed to say that i think City are a much better team than Celtic, on a City forum.
So you jump in to defend another club, & then accuse me of not supporting my team ?
I wasn't even talking to you though, i was agreeing with someone else who also saw through the bullshit & posted the stats to prove it & you felt had to fight their corner by insulting me, & yet you are a City fan ?
I take it you watched it with your fucking hooped shirt on & 'support both' so feel all warm inside. Well I wanted City to win & am disappointed we fucked up. I still enjoyed the game, but we should beat Celtic imo, well as they played.
I like Celtic & I thought they did well. But they are not a Premier League team level & an occasional cup performance isn't going to change that.
Sorry if that hurts, but it's true.
I thought Celtic deserved a point, Look at some of the victories Celtic have had against superior opposition at home the fact of matter is there no mugs at Celtic Park a point there for me is a good point if we fail to beat them at home then this point is damaging but at the minute I think it's a good result. .

With the money we would receive from joining the EPL we would tear Bournemouth a new one.
Before your investment you were nowhere.
There is a saying in Glasgow
Because you get a new arse don't forget the old one.
Stats in a game mean absolutely 'fuck' all. The score is the only thing. All the rest is just bollocks.
If you weren't a better team than us then something is wrong.
We stopped you running all over us. We put you on your arse three times that no one as yet down there has achieved.
That deserves respect. All the goals had luck, all of them.
It was a great game played in a great spirit. The atmosphere and your fans having a good time up here made it even better.
Good luck against the Slurs.
Stats show that City did ok regarding possession etc & that the idea we were smoehow 'stopped' is a bit of a fantasy.
I have pretty much said all the stuff you have saidt & agree the Celtic performance deserves respect. And the pressing was very good. And I never mentioned 'luck' at all. But I mentioned our poor defending, & imo letting in goals we wouldn't normally concede. I think that was poor. I don't think those situations should have been difficult to stop. No mention of luck.
Saying that the investment you would get is automatically enough to turn you into a Prem team though, well that's where the bollocks comes in imo. All the clubs have investment, already, & some have had it for the past 20 years with the closed shop of the Champions League. You would need new owners for a start. Therefore, it would no longer be the current club, it would be a richer one. That is a different matter. But if your current team played Bournemouth regularly, they would beat you regularly.
If Celtic could spend the same as City, yes of course they could compete, but you see, you are not allowed to. Because rules have been brought in, to stop it, because Utd, Liverpool etc want to remain at the top, so have fixed it. If you have money, you can't spend it. So you have the same budget as Bounemouth but with less experience. In time, you could possibly grow into the league, then become successful one day.
But by saying you would automatically turn up & tear Bournemouth a new one, you are showing them & others the same lack of respect you seek for Celtic.
And it's that nonsense which is doing my head in, not Celtic's performance on the night, which their fans can be rightly proud of.
It was indeed a great game played in the right way & great for football.
The limit on wage increases would also stymie them as I'm guessing Bournemouth already have a higher wage bill and Celtic couldn't attract top players without paying top dollar.Stats show that City did ok regarding possession etc & that the idea we were smoehow 'stopped' is a bit of a fantasy.

Celtics owner is irish billionaire dermot desmond.im sure he would invest 100m in the playing squad right away if celtic were to somehow gain entry to the epl.

London to Glasgow is a shorter distance than teams in France travel. Flight and train times render distance a non-issue anyway, only with highland teams it might become an issue - even then, I'm not sure what the nearest airport + road/train travel would take; for the away support it could be a bigger issue. Anyway, there's a reason it's been a long touted discussion with us being within the same nation and already having Welsh teams in the league. Scottish teams used to be invited into the FA Cup way back when.why should celtic and rangers come into the english league
shall we get Psg too they keep pissing their league too and are probably closer to most english clubs in distance than the old firm
We scored 3 goals,it was the defending and the linesman that let us down,done properly and they would have had only 1 goalCredit to Celtic but I feel Aguero's off night largely contributed to our first non-win of the season.

With the nature of the beast of the Premier League and even the Championship now, I think we all agree it ain't gonna happen unless something big changes. A British League Cup is the only thing worth debating at the moment, which would allow the Scottish League system to tap into a bit of our TV money; no skin of our noses, helps them out and gives the League Cup some meaning.
did man city deserve to win the game? i dont think so, they didnt do enough to win it, could argue they were fortunate to draw the game, both sides goals came from errors and luck, to talk about one sides luck and ignore the other is blinkered
is that a failure for man city because they didnt do enough to win the game? to some it might be, to someone who knows celtic park I would never consider it a failure for any team to not lose there, a point at parkhead in the champions league is a huge result for any team, just listen to your manager, man city were unlucky to draw celtic in pot 4, this is the gorup of death, the best teams from every pot
It's all talk anyway, not feasible unless they're prepared to join at the bottom tier. Newcastle/Sunderland have no reason to want to join the Scottish league. Try telling Swansea they're a Welsh club and they should play in the Welsh league.well can the likes newcastle and sunderland who've not won owt for years jib into the scottish league win a couple of trophies get in the champions league get the champs league money then jump back in the english league
fact is theyre both scottish clubs who should play in the scottish league and should be looking at how to make their league more competitive
