Best I've seen the season for sure. I was going mental watching it, despite not giving a f**k about either team. It was almost literally end to end in the first half. One team attacks, the other attacks and just repeat for 45 minutes. Felt like it was dying down at the start of the 2nd half and then it went mental again. I do get the point about standard of football. And I'm not going to sit here and argue that the standard of football up here is as good as it is in England, as it just blatantly isn't. But football is ultimately entertainment for the vast majority, so if someone is more entertained by the OF than what followed with Leicester/West Ham, then fair fucks. Who is anyone to say they should think different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I noticed earlier on the BBC's website there is a list of the premier league referees and who they support. If the Scottish Premiership ever did that the list wouldn't look so pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is anyone to say they should think different? Absolutely. You'll get people who argue that the Scottish Premiership is as good as the English Chanpionship in terms of standard when it blatantly isn't, but in terms of actual entertainment any game can be just as good as any other.

Jamaldo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I must admit I do get a bit bored of the whole "Best league in the world lololololololol" everytime there's one crap game in the PL, usually between two pishy teams in the bottom half. Admittedly Man U v Chelsea is almost always a terrible game now and has been for the last five years or so. But that's one fixture and it doesn't apply across the board. If you look purely at league tables the PL could probably be judged to have been the best watch this season out of all the top european leagues. If it wasnt for Atletico La Liga would just be a glorified Scottish Premiership, and Bayern Munich keep buying all the best players in Germany to prevent any sort of serious challenge.

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 A lot of folk defending Scottish football on the grounds that "entertainment and quality aren't the same thing" were absolutely panning the women's world cup in the summer for being a poor standard.

I didn't find much of it very entertaining either. If I did, I'd say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 FWIW I think the Premier League is probably the most enjoyable league in the world to watch, but I don't know if that makes it the best. Women's football is less enjoyable than schoolboy football. Probably because none of them know how to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women's football is less enjoyable than schoolboy football. Probably because none of them know how to defend. Depends what you like. Personally I think La Liga is the most enjoyable league to watch by a country mile, often dodge EPL games and regularly switch them off, rarely dodge a La Liga game and never turn one off. Its much more watchable imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top three in La Liga would finish 123 in the EPL easily. So you can say glorified this or that but the fact is its just better, it has better teams and they play better football. If you like football La Liga is clearly a better league in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Foderinghame, Wilson, Boyata as there is a lot more chance of seeing some top level football apposed to the punt and hunt style game the OF was. You obviously didn't watch the game. Rangers played about as far away from a punt and hunt game as you're ever likely to see. Wilson was actually very impressive, as was Rangers' whole back line in the way they played the ball out from the back and Boyata was only on for about 15 minutes before being replaced by Sviatchenko, who absolutely strolled the game in another impressive performance.

They don't though. People who come out with this pish obviously just don't watch La Liga. If you enjoy watching Sunderland take 8 off Southampton then you go for it.

Glenn Medeiros Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm not saying they wouldn't. If you enjoy watching Real and Barca humping teams 6-0 every week then that's fine. They're only humping teams 6-0 because they're the best in the world. Rest assured the rest of La Liga isn't worst than the Premiership. Barca or Real would pump Aston Villa, Norwich etc 6-0. For me the most disappointing league right now is the Championship in England. I've watched quite a bit of it ( as I only have SKY, no BT) and the watchability is worse than the SPL. Its low quality and low atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 79 points will probably be enough for Leicester to win the league, which they'll reach by winning both home games. Spurs look unstoppable at times but they'll inevitably drop points against either Chelsea or Southampton. #ShinjiOkazakiIsHavingAParty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
