Can any of you guys get excited about Celtic winning the SPL?

Discussion in 'Tottenham Hotspur' started by Hoddle is a god, Apr 7, 2012.

  1. I can't.

    It was a foregone conclusion even before the financial excesses of Glasgow Rangers finally caught up with that club.

    Scottish football has been the dullest on the planet for many, many years, but now it is about to descend into ever more depths of unrelieved monotony.

    I really do wish that the FA would permit Celtic to join the EPL, as it would be relegated to League 2 within 5 seasons, and Scottish football would revert back to being something that Scottish amateurs do when they are not tossing cabers at village fetes.

    Not sure I am that bothered who wins the Scottish PL, but I will say that Neil Lennon just has to be the most obnoxious guy currently involved in football.

  5. And the thing is, he can get away with it, because he has absolutely no competition!

    Celtic would struggle in our Championship League, and Lennon would be sacked before they reached the halfway point of the season, and the owners would probably appoint someone like Big Sam, or Neil Warnock.

    Celtic with a PL budget would be a top 6 club.

    Massive club and they can only beat what's in front of them, not their fault Rangers are in dire straits.

    Not strictly true as they won't be able to go out and buy a super squad just because they are in the EPL.

    Yes there budget would increase but if rangers and celtic were in the premier league, it would take years before they got close to establishing themselves as top 6 contenders and that would depend on having the right man in charge.

    There are huge clubs like villa with a pl budget, yet look at them? also take us for example, we had a pl budget since the pl started and in general our league positions have been tragic!

    Anyway, if they came down south, they should be handed conference places, then have to work there way up the league, that would be fair!

    I don't even think that's fair. They should have to do what AFC Wimbledon did, start at the very bottom - otherwise it's unfair on other teams below conference vying for promotion.

    Celtic will not join the PL or any other English league. They are in Scotland, it may have escaped your notice but that is another country. With Scottish independence looming it is even less likely.

    And yes I am happy that Celtic have won rather than Rangers.

    is scotland another country? I better go and tell my neighbors that I thought I moved to "little scotland" in east london and get onto the estate agents and say I made a big mistake as I would never have bought a house up here if i knew it was ANOTHER COUNTRY!

    (ps. the discussion on celtic/rangers is merely pub talk, not to be taken serious)

    I think you are being a little precious Boss. It was you who took issue with my post as you will see if you look back. I am not easily offended but if I am you would hear about it in clear terms not as I have posted here.

    Perhaps if you would like to check out my posting history you can judge that for your self.

    Now stop making something out of nothing.
