Clown Job Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) No Celtic or Norwich fans arrested yesterday…. As far as I’m aware it was only Spurs fans. Edit: This probably explains why Tam Cowan needs to constantly mention Celtic & RFC together Edited July 24, 2022 by Clown Job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I noticed that Police Scotland allowed the Metropolitan Police get involved. Personally I think Rangers fans could start a fight in an empty room, but the minute the incompetent, poorly trained and institutionally racist Met Police get involved, then trouble will always happen. They are a catalyst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyzer0 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Perhaps it's so obvious St Johnstone and Hibs will be the bottom two that it's not worth including the option of listing teams 11 and 12? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally listened to people sick of hearing about the same 2 clubs that they've gone to the other extreme. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampersand Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 You know it's nearly time for the new league season when someone from the BBC files this sort of self-hating drivel... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61969416 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thems the facts..... Totally agree. For a BBC Scottish Football piece, it's actually quite good. It's light hearted but at least recognises that the OF's decades long dominance is absurd and is a problem. Furthermore, it recognises that the dominance owes nothing to intrinsic brilliance, but is instead simply about our game's gross financial imbalance. I'd much prefer a piece like that to one speculating about which of the sister clubs wins this time, as if it matters at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the subtle wee dig about letting R+C through to the play off semis directly would "avoid a lot of statements and whinging". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be careful with McGeady though, if he found out he wasnt included he might do another sit down with the BBC about how the only reason people dont like him is because he is Catholic. Or whatever other pish he has been brainwashed into believing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a European wide football issue. But somehow, if you listened to those who should be promoting our game it is only here that has the dominance by 2 teams (some leagues have 1 true title challenger).

Okay, so some other nations have a dominant team or teams. But, which other nation has seen only two teams (3 if you include 2020/21) win the past 37 consecutive top league titles between them? More importantly, which other nation's monopoly or duopoly was built on the financial benefits of pseudo-religious and Irish political bollox that should have no place in football? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a league in Europe as uncompetitive. Some might be going that way over the last 10 years, i.e. Austria and France and Germany, but it's not on the scale or longevity of what we have going on here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful, you're risking the attentions of the P&B House UnIrish Activities Committee with that kind of comment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
