That would give them 75 points, plus whatever they get in the first 11 games and what they get off the gruesome twosome. You might think this is a stupid idea, but hear me out; imagine the heads-gone mania it would cause among the great unwashed. Can't see that being the case pal. If so, they'd think there was a conspiracy every time a losing team drops a player or the referee gives an incorrect decision in favour of the other. Oh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is we can only hope for them both to have off seasons at the same time as one of the rest has a good season. Far more likely that a single club has a shit patch. And they feed off each other. Interest in the rivalry drives revenue from morons. Those morons might otherwise support other teams. Absolutely this. You only need to look at when Rangers were out the picture for evidence. Celtic receded back towards the pack and kept mucking up in Europe and in the Cups. A one horse race is exactly the same as the two horse kind if both horses represent a single entity. It's likelier though that one horse will sometimes fall over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 On the basis that Rangers will eventually win it again it might as well be to stop 10 in a row for maximum laughs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 It’s an easy choice for me tbh - I want 10IAR. I want it because I find Rangers fans much, much more unbearable than Celtic. From “going for 55” to “the Rangers are back” chat, since Rangers went down and have made their way up the leagues again they have done so with zero grace and decorum. Instead of “progressing the youth” they’ve spent millions to get back to where they are - and question marks lie over those funds as well. They deserve nothing but absolute misery. Celtic fans would get over it if they fucked 10 in a row. If they did manage it? It would break Rangers forever, or for at least our entire lifetimes. Unless Celtic suffered a catastrophic financial collapse, which is very unlikely, Rangers will never match that and their fans know it. It would be absolutely glorious. It would be game over for the ****. The only reason I wouldn’t want 10IAR is if any non-OF club stopped it - which remains the ultimate prize in Scottish Football. But of course that’s not going to happen in the next 2 seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They devise a "last man standing" type competition the winner of this competition gets a free pass. The other teams lie down to them all season in the league. Maybe give them a game but chuck it at the end. That team wins the league. Let's just say Motherwell are playing this "free pass" team on the last day of the season, Motherwell need a win to stay up and the "free pass" team need a win to clinch the title. Do you still stand by your idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Any club winning 10 league titles in a row should be an embarrassment for the sport in any country. For the game to be that uncompetative would be a disaster. I don't like having two clubs dominate our sport but at least its better than being dominated by oneDo you see a difference between the two ?The fact that Clubs/Companies, Supporters and our Media are so obsessed by how many consecutive titles a club/Company wins is an embarrassment.Why do Celtic fans sing the 10IAR song at European or domestic cup games. Weird behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILmac1967 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm a Celtic fan but we're meant to have competition anyway. I'd honestly like to see a challenge from at least three other teams, what's 9 or 10 iar if there isn't competition from more teams than the Rainjurs? What's 55 (or 1) if the rest of the league doesn't really compete? The league became a competition of finance decades ago, i'm 50 this year and winning doesn't hold the same fascination as it did when I was 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'm sometimes glad I support a (sometimes) shitey wee team. Following a team who wins or are expected to win all of their games would get a bit dull. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing Hearts weren't playing Hibs, I'd be delighted to see us do this to nudge someone else over the line. Maybe not Aberdeen. I don't like them much either, but anybody else. It'd be an honour.

Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 "and even some folk who normally aren't football fans take an interest in the fixture."...... You are quite correct, MJC : religious bigots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
