Scottish football

[DualityNSNO]

Again, we’re not talking about the welsh league

Yeah but you're here talking high and mighty just to troll, whereas it's stones in glass houses lol

Wrexham still under Welsh fa jurisdiction?

 

[Kurt.]

No they wouldn't.
They'd be behind Swansea and Cardiff....

Not really, as they both play in the English pyramid system. If Celtic and rangers want to be considered as big teams (which they undoubtedly are in Scotland) they need to play in the English system and test themselves against decent opposition every week. If Everton played Celtic next week I’d be confident we could get a draw even with our poor squad

So what you're saying is that Welsh teams are pining to be English and are no good as they have no success anywhere? Cool.

No I wasn’t, I merely questioned the point of a system where 2 teams have and will dominate for seasons to come … they should challenge themselves in the English set up … prove themselves

Yeah mate, that’s exactly what I’m saying

When TNS do it I'm sure others will follow mate.

Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham already have

Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham already have

Really makes you wonder why the rest haven't reached the heights of PL relegation.

Point being they play in the English system as they are clubs who wanted to challenge themselves, 2 of them have played in the top flight albeit on and off over the years. Maybe Celtic and rangers should try and emulate that achievement out of their comfort zone , they have the fan base, stadium and money … they could in time establish themselves as serious contenders on a European stage.

And yes I do realise Celtic were the first British club to win the European cup but that was many years ago and football has changed in so many ways since them days

Yeah it's been ages since a Scottish team was in any European cup final.

Well let’s be honest , it’s a rare occurrence

 

[Royal]

I think we should let Partick Thistle into the prem but not Celtic and Rangers, just to let them both know that they stink

 

[Debunkology]

Scottish football though …. What’s the point ?

Nation of only 5 million people has produced a league that is

*9th in the UEFA Co-efficient rankings.

*A national team that plays in a higher ranked league than England in the UEFA Nations League.

*One of the best derbies in the world in Celtic v Rangers.

*A UEFA Europa League Finalist last season.

*Has 3 of the best stadiums for atmosphere in Britain in Celtic Park, Ibrox, Tynecastle

*Some of the best managers and players that have ever played in England. And still the most successful manager in Alex Ferguson.

*The highest attended football league per capita in Europe.


A league that massively punches above its weight.

I don’t think Aberdeen ever agreed to join the proposed Conference League, it was just assumed by the Press that they’d be the fourth SPL club to field a Colts team. One reason they opted out was the potential damage to the Highland League, so far every Highland League club has come out against it. Hopefully the concept withers and dies.

Didnt they, didnt know that. Im just going by what read on a QP forum re them joining it then somebody saying QP were interested in place of Aberdeen when they withdrew, so presumed they joined.
