EpicMike Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 22 minutes ago, wastecoatwilly said: Winning leagues is about consistency, Celtic can only effect each team 4 times a season. This season killie and Hibs have proved my point, the improvement they have made this season and the consistency they have shown makes next season more interesting. I will start with Killie, Kilmarnock started the season very poor their first 8 games they didn't win any games, in fact they only got 3 points from a possible 24,now they got rid of Mr McCulloch and appointed Mr Clarke for the next 25 games they only lost 3 games,this kind of consistency has nothing to do with resources or money it has everything to do with football knowledge from one man. Now Neil Lennon at Hibs from Christmas Lennon knew his team were lacking goals he made the decision to get rid of Murray and Stokes and bring in Kamberi,Hibs are on a 12 game unbeaten run in fact they have only lost 1 game in 17 in the league,again this kind of consistency and improvement is everything to do with football knowledge. You can embellish your argument with all the guff you want but at the end of the day you're still claiming finances have no impact on success which is ludicrous.

TheScarf Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Has Gary McAllister ever actually played in Scotland? Apologies if he moved down south at a very young age. Can only ever mind him playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Apparently they are signing Wayne the Granny Shagger Rooney and Wes Hoolahan, this can only be good for Scottish football... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The top four teams, from the top four leagues, going straight into the group stages won't affect our chances of qualifying. It's certainly going to be a lot harder. Only 4 slots available via the Champions route where as in the last 3 seasons there were 5. There is also an extra qualifying round so the chances of qualifying are less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only ever mind him playing there. A question I've been wondering as well. A quick Wiki shows he played 70 league games (Wiki doesn't count cup games for some reason) for Motherwell from 1981-1985 before leaving for England and never playing in Scotland again. So his 'knowledge' of Scottish football will be pretty much zero. I liked McAllister as a player. Thought he was great. Any respect I had for him has now gone though for having anything to do with Sevco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it seems I was mistaken with my belief that we'd still have three qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Tbf in QR1 Celtic will play some minnow and the ties aren't any earlier than QR2 was last season. There is 1 less slot as noted. EL is worse for us - although the ties are later, only 13 clubs proceed from the qualifiers to the groupstage, compared to 22 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a Champions path in the Europa league qualifiers. Back on topic I don't think people realise how hard it will be for even an "old style" Rangers to make the group stages even if "Ge55ard" turns out to be a managerial genius.

gannonball Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Fair play to him for the article. Having a go at Doncaster and co for trying to railroad clubs into voting was my favourite part, still irks me to this day. Still can’t believe they came out publicly about the tv deal and saying how shafted we would be and basically gifted all negotiation hands to BT/Sky.

What Scottish football needs is for a large section of its supporting population to stop focussing their time and energies in obsessing about Rangers and instead focus their time and energies on supporting their own clubs.

How so? I've been utterly obsessed with the whole Rangers saga these last few years. I've loved it - can't get enough of it in fact. Were I less so, how would the game benefit?

That was totally embarrassing from Doncaster, the same c**t that fucked us over for £1 million more from Setanta and basically slapped Sky in the face after they had offered a more secure sponsorship than Setanta. From the posts on this thread MT could do a better job than Doncaster in totally fucking up any good deal in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
