Cable Forum - Football Season 2010/2011

problem with the scottish league is that its to small and not much of a challenge can you name a team other then celtic or rangers that have won the league in the last 10 years.

....and how many teams have one the Premiership in it's 18-19 years? = 4 I believe!!

Saying that I don't disagree with your sentiments!!

Aberdeen were the last in 1986 I think.

People wonder how the Old Firm teams would do in the Premier League, you look at the players and the games and you don't even seem them challenging for mid-table. Although the Premier League money + fanbase would mean they could rectify that if they managed to stay in it for 5 or so years.

I genuinely think alot of Championship teams would scare the living daylights out of them - but they can bugger off if they think they can join our national league(s), and get a share of our money (TV rights etc.). Anyway, who says Celtic & Rangers should join Prem? They should start at the bottom if they really wanted to join.

IF Celtic and Rangers played in the English PL, the clubs would not last long, due to the fast pace of the game and also the large band of thuggery of both clubs.

We saw at the weekend how bad it was, and this can happen week in and week out, l have been to an old firm game, and being a Londoner l was told to keep my mouth shut, on the day it is like a tinder box waiting to explode, as both sets of fans hate each other.

Its not like Spurs/ Arsenal or Man U / Man City, this is not the first time there has been problems between the clubs, and the SFA won't do anything, what has to happen is that BOTH clubs have to have points deducted if these problems happen constantly or even UEFA have to ban them from Europe, what ever happen to the 'respect' campaign, Assault on refs is dispicable, but the weekend game was a disgrace.

I went to the game at Wembley where Celtic were playing in the London Cup, and l was totally gobsmacked when l found that Celtic fans were banned from several pubs in the area, due to crowd problems.

Seems that it's not a case of "drugs" as in cocaine/canabis/etc.. but instead it's something that could have an explanation within a medicinal product.

It's must be a minefield for these guys every time they have a sniffle as to what's available and what they can/can't take.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011

Off to old Trafford for the Arsenal game! First time I have been to Old Trafford and, indeed, an away game.

Any advice into travelling to and from the Stadium to Manchester Piccadilly would be welcome. Full time will be roughly around 7:10 to 7:15 which would give me 1 hour and 15 minutes to make my train departing at 20:30 back to London. I am aware of the Metro line but am unaware of the time it will take to get on and back to the station.

You should have plenty of time to get to the station but i don't know how long they keep the away fans in for, if they do at all that is.
