Dr Koop Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm still not sure how Ross County have survived without ever playing a league game against Rangers. Coming up to 22 seasons in the SFL/SPL/SPFL and not one league game to show for it. Lord be praised! It's a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 In the pub in London got talking to a few West Ham fans talking about how crap and boring the Scottish League was since Rangers went bust. I tried explaining that no-one in Scotland cares if it's Celtic or Rangers who win the league and a monopoly was preferable to a duopoly as it made the other 11 places more exciting rather than the other 10. Cue them saying it was boring because Celtic were running away with it, as usual, and the English league was more exciting. I opened up the paper to show the top 5 teams in the SPL seperated by five points and Chelsea 7 points clear of Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember last season: that 'progressive' and much-admired Bundesliga was won earlier in the calendar year than the SPL was. The fact is, the longer this goes on for (Newco in the Championship or lower or bust), the more likely we are to eventually see other teams become genuine title contenders.

Bishop Briggs Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The "Armageddon" mentality could explain Doncaster's failure to find a sponsor for the SPL over the last two seasons. That inexcusable failure was rightly ridiculed by Barry Hearne. Even minor sports can find sponsors for their main competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I couldn't believe the lack of sponsor. Even offering it for free to a Scottish charity to highlight the exposure a sponsorship brings woulda made more sense than nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I suspect that spending a summer telling the world that Scottish football would be shattered and worthless if Rangers went to SFL3... ... only for them to nevertheless go to SFL3... ... didn't help.

Nightmare Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 "Landlords, travel firms and football chiefs". Poor them. With regard to the 'Glasgow' thing. Not everyone in Glasgow is a fan of the OF and not all OF fans are from Glasgow. Bus loads from across the country travel to support them (many for entirely non-football reasons). It's a Scotland wide problem, not merely a Glasgow one. And because a media company is based in Glasgow does not mean it reflects the opinions or things which are important to Glaswegians. Good post. 7-2 and Raidernation type posters who in every second post seem to be talking about Glasgow bias, please take note. Not everyone from Glasgow is a knuckle-dragging OF fan, and quite often many of the knuckle-dragging OF fans or media sympathisers are from your own neck of the woods.

Sergeant Wilson Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 No SPL Chairman take any credit. They bumped Rangers in expectation of them being put in to Division 1. The SFL then failed to deliver because individual clubs put the mockers on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They probably do. West Ham fans are mind numbingly tedious. Honestly believe they're a big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie95 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I still find it a major coincidence that as soon as St Morden go down Scottish Football turns into chaos. (Not really that much chaos). Anyway the Premiership needs a strong St Mirren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
