Scottish Football

After a couple of nervy moments, it tuned into a routine win for the Celts yesterday, in balmy Glasgow, 3-1 against Hibernian. Nice to see 17 year old midfielder, Sean McArdle get his league debut, coming on late in the game.

Will be good to have Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership next season, first time for fifteen years and let’s hope Partick Thistle do the business against Livingston (and their horrendous artificial pitch) in the play-offs.

Look at the empty seats 😂

Seriously though, I’m going to be a more regular attendee at Ibrox next season. Glasgow is a brilliant city, the Scots are brilliant too and the football experience is like it used to be here before Sky sanitised the product.

Get rid of these Chicken pluckers and our season tickets are back at Ewood, but until then they can sod off.

For all the ‘pea brains’ who are in denial about Rovers ever being taken over, Livingston have just announced Calvin Ford becoming the majority shareholder there. 

He is the great-great grandson of Henry Ford and said to be worth ‘billions.’

Yeah but that's apples and oranges, no way can Rovers ever compare to the mighty Livingston.

Nobody would buy this club, get real man.

We should meet up for a beer next season CLB, I know some great eating places in Glasgow’s West End 😉

Make it the East End and you’ve got a deal. 😂

It’ll never end Gav, never. The majority of fans are decent enough but there are idiots on both sides of the divide and the idiots up there are off the scale. We talk about this sometimes on the way up on the bus. Some areas of Scotland are as bad as, if not worse than, Ulster. 

I hope away fans aren’t banned again, as it’s been good to see half decent followings this season at both grounds.

PS. I can do the Tina Turner doll for you at half price £4.99 😬🤣
 

 

Right back at ya 😉

Celtic will collect their participation trophies like they do every year so it's not going to make any difference to them but for the likes of Aberdeen and what not it's a great opportunity to cement themselves as the other team in Scotland.

Who knows, the SPL might return to the glory days of being a two team league.

So many managers failing up these days based on data obsessed geeks looking at possession as more important than points and owners who want to mimic Pep so they can sell to clubs who obsess about the former.

Rangers have won the league 55 times, the last time was in 2021 🙄

Do they have sky sports in NZ? Or is it still carrier pigeon like in Belmont 😉

Celtic have won 14 of the last 15 titles (16 of the last 20).

As Exiled Rover just said Celtic have won every single title since 2011-12 until now except that one. If anything you just proved my point even more. 

The most Mickey Mouse league in the history of the game. A one team league.

Wow, that’s some statement. Thankfully, it’s incorrect. Have another go.

[Mattyblue]

110 league titles between two clubs? Sounds a tad Mickey Mouse.

What took you so long? You don’t like Scottish Football and like most folk on here since this thread’s inception, you’re constantly sniping about it. 

You’re entitled to your opinion, of course, but just keep it to yourself. I’ve heard it so many times, it’s wearing thin.

The other pea brain should have woken up by now. He’ll be on here shortly repeating the same old sh!te. Another who dislikes Scottish Football but can’t tear himself away from this thread.

Charming. 

Since when have I had a problem with Scottish football? It’s a cracking, passionate football country. Upside Down has had a bit of a go, but I certainly haven’t, so a poor post.

And witnessing that passionate football country, but then seeing the utter domination of the Old Firm in the top flight is why I see it as such a shame, the potential of so many potential football towns and cities unfulfilled as the coaches depart for Glasgow every weekend.

You enjoy your days out in front of huge crowds at Parkhead as another trophy is being paraded, fair enough, but it’s a sham of a competition.
