Re: The Scottish Football Thread
I dont know why they dont merge All Scottish Football into the English Football League.
I watched some games last season, and most of the grounds were empty. This could be why they have no sponsor.
Its like Celtic, you might as well give them the title before the season starts, and then let the rest catch them up.
Most officials in Scottish football are scared about Celtic and Rangers in case they upset anyone.
I watched You Tube last season on the way the fans from both clubs react. There was a strong rumour that Celtic and Rangers were trying to 'jump the queue' and get into the EPL - becuae money counts.

I don't think they asked for your support, they have their own.
But i agree that a Scottish team should play in Scotland.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
You know what I meant. They wouldn't let an English team play in their leagues.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
Whiy is it then that CELTIC and RANGERS want to play in the EPL. And are prepared to offer to play from conference upwards.
As they believe that they will get Tv money for that - l was told that by loads of Celtic fans.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
True, but my understanding is that Berwick has changed between England and Scotland for centuries and as such could be classified as Scottish.

... and the attitude that killed your old club still prevails. No club has any rights to belong anywhere unless it is achieved on the field. It's a fundamental of sport. Downsizing and living within you means is a good thing. You should encourage your new club to do it... the third Rangers might not get as much of a helping hand as Sevco have.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
This typical Celtic FC. Spurs went to help out after a team pulled out. What did Celtic do, pull an insult on Spurs fans who wanted to see a good game.
Celtic fielded a an u21 team. No wonder Spurs are fuming. Reason, Celtic kept all there first team behind for extra training, and sent there n2. after a dismal performance in the 4-1 thrasing.
No wonder they are on the verge of going out the CL at the first hurdle.

That could be prove to be one of your most optimistic posts MB 
Still, I suppose there's more chance of Thursday night football at Celtic Park than Thursday night football at Motherwell
