Scottish v English football

[Deleted member 18588]

If I swear and use abusive language, will that ensure that this thread is closed to stop the endless tedious conversations about 'big clubs' and the merits of English V Scottish football?

If so then shut *** **** u* you ******** bunch of ******* ********s

You are not obliged to read or join any thread. If you find this one tedious just ignore it, I have found that to be a successful way of dealing with posts that I find boring or irrelevant.

It's all very well bemoaning the current state of Scottish football, I like to look back and remember the good old days when we were the best team in the world......

For about one day in April '67 ...

I think most SPL teams would at first struggle in League 1 but would in a couple of seasons get up to speed - and in a few years more some could get out of that league and become fairly competitive in the Championship. Only the main Glasgow clubs and maybe Aberdeen and Hearts would build the wherewithal to have a chance of getting into the EPL.

With the amount of money pumped into the EPL compared to SPL it's hardly surprising the difference in quality.

Well if money equals quality then I'll wait to see how far England get in the world cup

You cannot compare national leagues and national sides, modern football doesn't work that way.

Hehe didn't take long for a bite.
my point being throwing money at something does not necessarily make a quality product, personally I'm sick of watching all these overpaid players diving and cheating every game like they have been shot . I'll take the blood and thunder of the lower league's and jock league any day.

The EPL has seen some top quality football this season, anyone who denies that is either A. Clueless B. Fairly bitter or C. Full of BS.

I prefer watching good football, so I'll stick with the Premier League!

Slightly further than Scotland.

I heard on the radio (football phone in I think) about some horrendous scenes at an under 17 game which is quite sad, dont think it was this one but they talked as if it happened within the last 2 weeks?

No doubt it's been terrific.If you could remove the insane level of coverage in the media,over egged hype and sterility I'd enjoy it a whole lot more, but I guess everyone thinks that.

On the subject of England vs Scottish football, I see Celtic have won the league (.... Again). Do Scottish folk (... That don't support Celtic) not find this a little boring year after year?

I'm far from the biggest football fan on here (... I support Stoke after all ), but having 3, maybe 4 teams challenging for the league crown right up until the end of the season is far more exciting than watching the same team win 2-0 and 3-0 every week and have the league sown up before the end of season "run-in" has had chance to kick in.

Even the other English leagues aren't sown up yet. The Championship, leagues 1 and 2 all have the potential for upset.

I, personally, would rather watch football like that than a league where you know who's going to win the league before the season has even started.

Fair point as knowing who will win it is in my opinion not really proper sport, as there has to be an element of doubt in there to generate some excitement.

But then again I may be a bit strange as I play badminton with my mates. And I would rather lose 21-19 in a good close exciting game then win 21-3 with little competition. But some of the people I play with do not share that and it's a bit win at all costs.

Yes, please allow them to enter your leagues.
