Ken Fitlike Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Provan's Pish#1 'under the yoke of the Old Firm attendances were better......' Total attendances aggregated by Celtic and Rangers1872 gates. lower total attendances are only really affecting Celtic and Rangers2012 Normal clubs seems to be continuing much as they ever were - with some improvements. Edit... bottom line of course is that Davie P blithely admitting that Scottish football has been 'under the yoke' of the Gruesome Twosome for most of its history - and seeing that as a positive state of affairs. He really is missing the bigot-fests isn't he? Edited December 30, 2013 by Ken Fitlike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookies Love Me Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Provan's Pish #2 "Rangers? demotion saw every budget in the top flight slashed." What a self-deluding bum-sucking twat! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I for one agree totally with what Provan says - why can't we go back to the days when celtic and rangers divvied up all the young talent in Scotland to fill their reserves/benches? The best part of that was the way they could get so many as prices were low, what with the youngsters "fulfilling their dreams" and all.* What a complete cúnt. *It's possible some sarcasm may be detected in this post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Saint Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Isn't moaning about losing 50 million of playing talent kind of like a person who's had their house repossessed moaning about losing their house?

WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thats no way to talk about on of your teams ex players Norman. We got a hundred and twenty grand for him. Scottish inter-club record at the time. And they got a bargain. Oh, sorry, Bennett. You meant because he used to play for celtic? What a shame that another one of your "witty" little barbs foundered on the rocks of your complete ignorance of Scottish Football outside of the Bigot Brothers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossHogg Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 EIGHTEEN months and counting. A year and a half left of this one-horse race before we have a proper championship again.Assuming Ally McCoist gets Rangers back into the top flight on schedule.He had better deliver, an extra year of the current nonsense and we?ll need chloroform.On occasions I?ve found myself at English grounds where everyone in the media centre was glued to the lunchtime Old Firm game. Southern journalists couldn?t get enough of it.Last Thursday at Newcastle, one of them asked me which division Rangers are in right now. That?s the extent of the interest.If the essence of any sporting contest is uncertainty, the wise men of the SPL gave our top flight a lethal injection two summers ago.Under the guise of ?sporting integrity? they sentenced Rangers to three years hard labour and killed their own competition while they were at it. Clever, eh?It was arguably the most idiotic decision in the history of Scottish football.Boycott threats from the anonymous halfwits of cyberspace saw our Premier League chairmen fold, condemning our biggest league to three years of decline.SFA chief executive Stewart Regan was ridiculed for predicting ?Armageddon? in Rangers? absence. He wasn?t far wrong.Why did every club in the league have to pay the price of Craig Whyte?s ransacking of Ibrox? Did Rod Petrie and Co really believe that ?Sell-out Saturday? nonsense?Did they believe the internet eejits who promised they?d turn up every week to fill club coffers?So much for the moral high ground. Sporting integrity has put Scottish football up against the wall.Yeah, Celtic have been insulated from the fallout by reaching the Champions League proper in successive seasons.But as the growing rows of empty seats prove, Hoops punters are bored stiff with the extent of their domestic dominance.Trust me, if it was Neil Lennon?s call Rangers would be back in the top flight next season.Likewise, I?m told Peter Lawwell wanted to keep Rangers in the big league with a points penalty, before he too bowed to the mob.Thanks to Lennon?s European success, Celtic?s balance sheet is in good nick but defeat in next season?s Champions League qualifiers will have accountants reaching for the valium.Elsewhere the rest of the SPFL is suffering. Rangers? demotion saw every budget in the top flight slashed.When costs have to be cut, youth development is the first casualty.At a time Dundee United are producing a special crop of youngsters, who would vote to shut down the production line?Some silly people have suggested Celtic?s recent hammering in Barcelona was no reflection on the standard of Scottish football. Really?Celtic won the league by 16 points last season without breaking sweat, yet they managed just three points from 18 in the Champions League. What does that say for the rest of the league? Our other European representatives? Scottish Cup finalists Hibs got a crack at the Europa League and lost 9-0 on aggregate to Malmo. Motherwell lost 3-0 over two legs to Kuban Krasnodar, currently ninth in the Russian league.Thankfully, St Johnstone flew the flag briefly with a great win over Rosenborg before losing in the third qualifying round to FC Minsk.Putting Rangers in the poorhouse gave a lot of people satisfaction but was the price worth paying?Under the yoke of the Old Firm, attendances were better, sponsors easier to find and the league table was worth looking at every weekend.With the pair at each other?s throats for Champions League cash, both had to spend to stay in front.A lot of that money went to fellow SPL clubs. Dundee were weighed in for Rab Douglas, Nacho Novo and Gavin Rae.Hibs got an Old Firm auction going for Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson. Kilmarnock punted Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith. Dundee United got a million plus for Barry Robson, while Celtic outbid Rangers for Motherwell?s Scott McDonald.That Old Firm arms race kept both clubs on their toes and helped subsidise the rest of the league.Now we?ve got Celtic trying to get through the entire season undefeated while the rest play for second place and a brief skirmish with the Europa League qualifiers.League One is no less of a freak show where you can watch Rangers playing keepie-uppie with their part-time opposition.Eighteen months and counting.......Where do we start with this complete and utter pile of 5hit. Every sentence can be ripped apart.Provan, grade A ****. What a tool ,,this is the typical Glasgow centric view of Scottish football,,,Scottish Football is crap because it's a one horse race,,,aye davie let's get back to a 2 horse race like the last 30 years . What difference does a 2 horse race make to every other team out width Celtic n Rangers (est2012)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What difference does a 2 horse race make to every other team out width Celtic n Rangers (est2012)? Absolutely none - We've known for thirty years that a team from Glasgow will win the league. We will continue to have that certain knowledge until either a. celtic suffer some catastrophic financial failure which will mean they have to compete on a level playing field, b. The reduced circumstances of both Sisters mean that the Arabs, Dons or Motherwell (for example) can hang on to a couple of their young talents long enough to build a settled squad, or c. Both of the above. I'm still chuckling over Sally's aim of stopping celtic getting ten titles in a row, like it's ICBINR that will have a chance of stopping them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, oor Benny's just as thick as Davie. Absolutely no-one "promised to turn up every week". We promised to withhold our support if the New Club was parachuted straight into the top flight. But thanks to the famous Diddy Rebellion, Scottish Football was saved. And ra peepil are still seething about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck me you could quote this dick provan for years to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
