Leith Green Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 11 minutes ago, Gallo24 said: Happy to be proved wrong but can you show me where people have said that non-OF teams should just "believe" or "want it more"? Mentioned in the article (as Vinc G) quotes, and also at least once in this thread. It is perpetuated by the Sportsound sycophants who revel in that kind of shite narrative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallo24 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 10 minutes ago, VincentGuerin said: "As well as this there has been a continual failure from anyone – Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen – to systematically believe they could challenge the status quo. All the non-Old Firm pack start off each season with the belief that the best they can do is finish third in the league and maybe win a cup: it is a philosophy which breeds being second-best and not trying to win." Fair enough mate. "not trying to win" good grief. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowayBlue Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 6 minutes ago, AB1872 said: Aye the Old Firm is the problem in a country the size of Scotland having 42 ‘Senior’ clubs. Four clubs in Angus Four or is it 5 clubs in Fife Two clubs in the same street FFS Rangers and Celtic bring 90% of the money into the Scottish game but it’s their fault other clubs play in front of empty stadiums every week I mean, it kind of is. Article basically touches on it, but towns across Scotland are filled with Old Firm fans. It is not healthy for football in this country. The description of cartel capitalism is perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have heard. So this cretinous secterian duopoly that is killing Scottish football just our fevered imaginings then ? It's the 'Old Firm' , poisonous capitalist cartel.

CambieBud Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Despite the outrage when The European Super League was proposed, logically this is the way forward. As even England, Germany, Italy and Spain are in a similar position to Scotland, Portugal and Holland. The wealthiest clubs are getting richer as it is and even in these countries, there is no real competition anymore. I suspect that there will be a two or three European League setup in the near future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't as if we had a multimillion pound goalkeeper in goals either that saved the decisive penalties. Celtic were there for the taking. No, that guy was on the bench, not good enough. How much? £4m for the greek flop. If only any other club had that luxury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
