Is this a joke? Celtic would take teams like Blackpool, Cardiff, Boro, Wolves, Villa, or
any other second rate Angle team to the cleaners.

i do not deny that they might be a "team" rather than individuals, but there are lots of "teams" in the championship and the premier league.
the lack of spl players who have made it in the premier league is a sign of the gulf in quality.
dont get me wrong im in no way making this an scottish - english thing, its the quality of foreign imports in the prem that make it so much better. once celtic got a bit of premier league money they would be able to compete until then they would make a stuggling prem team or championship team fighting for promotion.

quite boring. One would be more entertained watching a game at a a lesser level
simply because you know they're are going to be more mistakes and the game shall be
rather more exciting as a consequence. I repeat my assertion there are two teams
worthy to watch in the EPL, Tottenham and Arsenal, Man City is like watching paint dry!

they are pure mince, Celtic have Stokes, who should be an Irish International, a prolific
goal scorer, Forrest , an awesome young talent, Izaguirre, a superstar who would grace
any, i repeat any EPL side, Hooper a formidable talent and Samaras, Greek
International, Ki Sung-Yong, another international superstar! we are awesome, no one
can handle us in awesomeness! send up the Boros, the Sunderlands (who i actually
like) the Sheffields, when ever you are ready. we were going through a transition
period, still are, but look at Lennon, he's wiley and hes worked under O'Neil, the
greatest manager since Clough, As for the Saints, they are welcome at Parkhead any

Originally posted by robbie carrobieOf course not, for two reasons at least, both relevant to the point.
would you ask Ajax to play in the bundesliga, no, well lets not be silly.
One, the Netherlands and Germany are not provinces of NorthEuropia. Scotland and England are provinces of the UK, whatever Alec Salmond may want you to believe.
Second, there is a healthy competition in the Netherlands, and Ajax aren't even at the top of it at the moment. (Never mind the general level, which is only slightly above that of the SPL - it's the difference between the top and the rest which is the problem in Scotland, and is not in the Netherlands.) Right now, any of six teams can hope to win the league. Ajax are the fifth of these. Yes, historically they've won more leagues than any other team, but historically, they've never been certain of that. There have always been at least two teams competing against them - usually Feyenoord and PSV, but there have been others - and of late, there have been several more contenders. This makes for an interesting league, where you never know who will win halfway through the season.
This is completely different in the SPL, where there are only two teams which could possibly count, and those same two teams have shared the honours for all, note this: all seasons of the SPL. Hearts was second once, seventeen(!) points behind Celtic and one single point ahead of Rangers (again), who must have been afraid to even show their faces in town that season. And that's the only time anyone outside the Old Firm has even come within sniffing distance of the title.
It's slightly different in the Cups, where the luck of the day plays a large part. Slightly different. Both Rangic and Celters have won the Scotch
one can dream, can\'t one?
Cup over thirty times. The next contender? Ten.
Oh, there's another reason, more trivial: Scotland and England speak the same language, English. British insular taunts notwithstanding, most Dutchmen speak German badly, and most Germans don't understand, let alone speak, Dutch at all.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell, not mince, but up against a real game, at least.
All of them, you see, Celtic are a team, not a group if individuals. Celtic were merely
unlucky, second rate EPL teams are mince.
That's the problem, and that's why Rangic should be in the EPL. They could play against, I dunno, West Brom or Liverpuddle. Dundee are mince.

Celtic

Originally posted by Shallow BlueNone of your concern. Piss orf.
If the second club in your major league can be penalised ten whole points for being, in effect, a bunch of fraudsters, and still remain not just second, but safely so, there is something very, very wrong with your league.
Celtic and Rangers should be made to play with the big boys in the English PL, whether they, the rest of the SPL, or the EPL like it or not. The situation as it is is just not healthy for football in Scotland.
