Scottish Football

Theres two real problems on the horizon with the SPFL which I dont think they can fix. Obviously theyre delighted with the same two teams winning it every year but those days appear to be done. 2021 was an anomaly.

As mentioned on the match thread, how do you keep the honking bstards inside their stadiums? The Huns are dung & Celtic are too far ahead

The pissing contest is over. Celtic have won it

Aye, but the Huns are about to be taken over, and with Ashley Cole in the dugout, there's no stopping them.

Scottish football is real dross. There?s only one team that is going to win the league and it?s there to throw away (nowadays).
The rest are just there making up the numbers as they don?t really give it a go. Rangers kid their fans on that they do but they are miles off it.
As for the rest?utterly shambolic. Extremely poor managers, shocking players and absolutely terrible leadership at the top and run by egos rather than quality.
Celtic are the only team who want to win the league. If Rangers change they might have this drive. The rest are just a joke. Should just be amateur rather than professional. Nothing professional about any of those clubs.

That's true of all leagues - there's only ever going to be one team who'll win it. Presumably you mean one team capable of winning the our league.

Celtic can afford to win the league, the rest of us can't.

In simple terms for you min, they have spending power far greater than what any of us can realistically can afford and the gap is getting bigger. Even the zombies will struggle with a potential owner in the wings with fairly deep pockets and even if they do get their act together, it would just be what the SPL/SFA want.

You either chose to follow it and its limitations or you can go and watch the EPL.

Not winning anything is what around 90% of football fans signed up for. If we didn't have that amazing spell in the 1980s our trophy haul would be even more abysmal.

List of clubs as of 2024, who have won the first division, premier league or SPL since it began back in the 1800s

Pretty grim reading.




Septic 54
Deadco 54
Aberdeen 4
Hibs 4
Hearts 4
Dumbarton 2
Third Lanark 1
Motherwell 1
Kilmarnock 1
Dundee 1
Dundee Utd 1
Zombie Club 1

Celtic need challenged not just through Rangers but a few others. Aberdeen have wealthy people on the board (extremely wealthy). Things can be done financially to provide a challenge. Most importantly though is extremely good coaching and having players who are willing to train harder than anyone in the league.
We have none of these requirements and that is why we are a nothing club nowadays.
Waving a white flag is not the way to continually go into a competition. It?s a game of football. The Celtic players work harder than the rest and have become better equipped to deal with any challenge. Are they better managed?.100 percent yes.
Look at how our players conduct themselves on the pitch. No real competitive level, no real level of imagination and a very poor style of play.
We are obviously not the only club in our league but I would rather deal with our own shortcomings than address other teams.
Aberdeen FC aren?t even attempting to better Celtic. We aren?t even attempting to better the team in 2nd place. We have surrendered our soul and all the spirit we galvanised ourselves with a good few years ago.
That is why I sound annoyed with them very regularly. The fans are getting duped into thinking we challenge for trophies etc. We challenge for nothing correctly?.Aberdeen FC is full to the brim of imposters.
The people at the club don?t earn a living, they are given a living.

I honestly dont know why you bother supporting a team like Aberdeen.
No offence min, but I still reckon you are just a troll.

You have no idea how we train as a team, not a clue. Just like you're not privvy to what goes on behind the scenes at the club.
It could be our players can't cope with playing in big games, it happens and sure it is a common theme when shopping in the footballing bargain bin.

We've discussed it all to death and you either follow the dons or take up something else if you can't handle disappointment as it's the only thing you are guaranteed following us.

I got an excellent book read last night when the football was on, no point getting worked up over a foregone conclusion.

Might not earn me top red points, but I'm eagerly awaiting our next game on Sunday and the cup game on the Saturday.

Life's ower short min.

I don't even know where to begin with that pile of nonsense you have just written.

Let em ask a question instead. Celtic's revenue last year was ?125Million, ours was ?24Million. There are more than 50 leagues in Europe. Can you give me any example in any of those 50 leagues over the last 5 years where a league was won by a club with only 20% of the revenue of the richest club?

Whether we like it or not, money rules football and UEFA have f'ucked pretty much every league in Europe with their Champions League cash and nothing is ever changing until the rich teams all f'uck off and play each other in a super duper league
