Football Season 2013/14

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Raith Rovers beat Bayern also in 1995.

Struggling to see your point.

My point is that one freak result does not a competitive team make.

Whilst I don't care either way, all you're really pointing out is that the only team capable, and completely dominant over the SPL may be halfway capable in the EPL. Doesn't that make the league a mickey mouse league? Every team aside from Celtic are a joke by Celtics standards, and by EPL, Celtic aren't that special.

It's all hypothetical anyway, we can't know how they would fare. Occasional results here and there are indicative of very little.

Dude, Celtic are not competitive with international teams in Europe.

Their results in the Champions League (in the competitive group stage):

Milan 2 : 0 Celtic
Celtic 0 : 1 Barcelona
Celtic 2 : 1 Ajax
Ajax 1 : 0 Celtic
Celtic 0 : 3 Milan
Barcelona 6 : 1 Celtic

They picked up 1 win in 6 matches, and lost the rest.

Hmm, Suarez keeps having his legs taken from him, nothing happens, he does practically nothing (aside from complain about it) and gets booked >.<

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

That's what you get for picking up a certain "reputation".


Norwich score on the counter-attack We seriously need these points for that buffer between us and the relegation zone.

Stopped reading when you said 'Dude'.

You aren't from 90's California and aren't a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

So when was the last time your team beat Barca?

Dude, either this is a joke thats gone over my head or a hilariously bad attempt to back up a stance that Scottish football is of a certain standard.

When it came to the crystal palace comment I was clearly being sarcastic, but Scottish football is in the doldrums and I think the championship is a higher standard than most in the SPL.

I'll let you continue in your delusion that Celtic are a team that would last more than a season in the Premier League, let alone compete with the top 6 for places in Europe if all you can say is resort to is ad hominem.

Well it's hard to have a footballing discussion with someone who passes judgment on a league that he/she doesn't watch.

Hard to take a league seriously when places one and three are split by 16 points after 20 games, and the first place team has a game in hand having only played 19 with a goal difference of +29.

Especially when they provide factual evidence to support the theory that Celtic wouldn't compete with the top 6 of the EPL.

Anyway boring one sided conversation.

Newcastle down to 10, Everton losing, 2 big results against weaker teams, 3 points dropped if they can't turn it round.

A Chelsea striker scoring, a new years miracle.

Yip when I interject a comment about the transfer budget they would get with EPL+SKY money.

But hey ho... lets just cherry pick facts.

I'd wager money on the fact that the posters who rely in this thread don't hold a season ticket for their 'own club'.

Stopped reading at yip, you're not a Chihuahua!

Getting more money is a fact, plus being in the EPL would entice more players, but would you be able to entice better players than the top 6? I dunno, plus I don't watch the scottish league so we can't have a conversation.

[Rixis]

If you got the sky epl money, would you not also lose the champions league money.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Yip when I interject a comment about the transfer budget they would get with EPL+SKY money.

Transfer money doesn't always help, Spurs spent over 100 million pounds in the summer and they are 4 places adrift of the Europa League spot.

You'd be down 10-15 million from not getting in the Champions' League too.

[draykorinee]

Just reading we have a potential miss of the century from Liam Ridgewell, luckily for him and sadly for the geordies they scored just after.

Big goal for Arsenal so no change up the top 3.

[Norganon]

So, I'm looking at Scottish teams in Europe this year, besides Celtic, and Malmo beat Hibernian 9-0 on aggregate. I mean come on, Malmo did that?! Apart form that, St. Johnstone did somewhat better but lost to a team from Belarus. And you're saying Scottish football isn't a joke? Yeah, no, completely reasonable.

[Rixis]

Passion overwhelms facts.
