There is no “old firm” anymore mate with Rangers going bust in 2012 that title went with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be. Game changing for both clubs. If Bolton and Bury go bust I'd offer both their spots for the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully aware both Rangers and Celtic are bigger than Wednesday. So are Porto and Ajax. They are not going to be part of our league either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wednesday get promoted you will sell out Hillsborough every home league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 There is only one SPL game worth watching and that is the one between the two ugly old firm sisters. Quite entertaining to see them kick seven shades of sh*t out of each other over the course of 90 minutes. On the other hand, Motherwell v Aberdeen on a Tuesday night, isn't going to cut it.

I’ve barely watched any of the self proclaimed ‘best league in the world’ in years. We can 100% agree on that. 2 minutes ago, SiJ said: There is only one SPL game worth watching and that is the one between the two ugly old firm sisters.

Personally I would much rather watch Aberdeen v Motherwell over Stevenage v Salford, Man City v Chelsea, or Luton v Middlesbrough which was on last night. Last night the English Championship served up missed penalties, dreadful goalkeeping, and a failed SPL striker as ‘man of the match’. You have no reason to watch Scottish football, that’s fine, but your one game worth watching comment is silly. The top 5 or so clubs in the SPFL are a similar standard to what you watch at Hillsborough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 And yeah, the Prem is overrated. A dominant top 6 and the rest are ok to poor. But, it is of a far higher standard than the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me this is the season that sees Stevie G sacked or his club go into administration with Mike Ashley tightening the noose around Rangers finances and with Hummel on the verge of suing Rangers over their kit deal. Anyway, I predict that Celtic will head fk with the league up until Christmas then pull away laughing towards 9 titles in a row. Celtic Aberdeen Rangers (if still in business) Hibernian Hearts Motherwell. This is how i see the top 6 finishing at the seasons end. Scottish Football. The classic example of an oxymoron.

Miffed Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Rangers and Celtic should have been allowed into the EFL ladder years ago but IMO the real reason they won’t be allowed is because, long term, they would be seen as a threat to the precious Liverpool’s and Man Uniteds of this world. Just like FFP or P&S, they are terrified of another Man City situation where someone comes and ‘buys the league’ at the expense of one of the media darlings. More teams capable of challenging for the 4 champions league places. And when people say that the Scottish Leagues would thrive without the Glasgow 2, maybe so, but what would happen if a team like Hearts dominated the league for 5 or 6 years? Would there then be a case for them to come knocking on the door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
