The_Kincardine Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 take your "Scottish football needs a strong Celtic and Rangers" and ram it. I'd take even the slim possibility of someone other than the Old Firm winning the title someday over the alternative, the certainty of who wins when both are at full strength. Amen, brother. Reductio ad absurdum. It's the P&B way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'd take a severely weakened Celtic/Rangers over a strong Celtic and Rangers every time. As Monkey Tennis says - it increases the chance of everyone else winning a league cup/scottish cup. Granted, it's going to be far more to the benefit of the 4 or 5 strongest SPL sides, but I'd take that over the alternative, and I think just about everyone else would too. As pozbaird says - it means that Celtic/Rangers have to win the title on their own, rather than the two of them collectively destroying everyone else in the league and having huge gaps between the top two and the rest. It opens up a further European spot that would, otherwise, have been occupied by Celtic/Rangers. It makes little difference to the bottom of the league, although at present there is a prospect of someone facing Rangers in a play-off. And you know what? On a long enough timeline, maybe - just maybe - Dundee Utd or Aberdeen can build a side good enough to win the title. Those two are immediately springing to mind as having the support and facilities to (maybe!) do it, not to mention their current league placing - but imagine Hearts eventually built up and formed an SPL winning side someday while Rangers are extinct? An example of what might have been. It's all pretty fanciful - but take your "Scottish football needs a strong Celtic and Rangers" and ram it. I'd take even the slim possibility of someone other than the Old Firm winning the title someday over the alternative, the certainty of who wins when both are at full strength. Splendid.

Monkey Tennis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 He was never on that fence, he has let that guard down on literally hundreds of occasions. cue yet another fake columbo puzzled type post. Oh ffs Ted. What are you on about? You boys really are crediting me with more Machiavellian skill than I possess. I know my sensible take on continuation gets derided as fence sitting, but where else does the charge get aimed? Where have I let down a guard I've never consciously constructed? I can assure you, I honestly don't know what you're referring to. Any chance we could discuss things as adults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingrodent Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Pardon me - I'd meant to knock that last post into some kind of shape that made sense, but the Mrs interrupted and I just hit publish. The short version: Winning isn't everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoriginalhedge Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I've said this before and will say it again - a Rangers that makes the SPL but never makes the top six and spends all eternity getting routinely walloped off other top tier sides will suit me down to the ground. Just enough life to give a bit of interest, but not enough to actually threaten anyone else. Perfect. The football will always be irrelevant . What you really meant to say is you can't wait to get the Orcs back into your stadium for a wee sing song ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you really meant to say is you can't wait to get the Orcs back into your stadium for a wee sing song ! what's the chances of Rangers 3 starting at Glebe Park like the last time? Could be a new 'Tradishun' for the berrz to latch onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half Rice Half Chips Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 As soon as I saw this picture I thought of the Father Ted episode where he got the Golden Cleric and went on to rant about all the other Priests that crossed him in the past. I was actually thinking that Rangers used the exact same tent that was used for the "Lovely Girls" pageant in Father Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
