rossDas 1,071 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Imagine every team got the crayons out and started writing letters every time they didn't get a penalty decision. The rancid ones are utterly beyond parody. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 If you're to believe their fans this season then Deila has them playing like Barcelona, Johansen is the best player in Britain, Van Dijk is worth £30m and so on...Yet they believe the only reason they lost the game was due to one decision that went against them, when in reality they should have won by taking their chances, they bottled it once again, simple as that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,534 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Was thinking to myself when I saw it was 1-1 and they were down to ten, if this side goes on to win the game then maybe we have something to worry about in the future. Maybe they've got that winning mentality, similar (though not on the same scale) to us back when we beat St Mirren in the final with 9 men, but it seems that is not the case.Bottle merchants.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 aye quite enjoyed that - but the bigger picture is that scottish football is dire. "What's needed is a total restructuring:"agreed - but whats needed more is this: the Scottish public make up just shy of 10% of the Sky football viewing figures. Therefore Distribute 10% of the sky money to Scotland - Imagine scotland getting 10% of a £5.13 Billion contract - better players, better competition, better facilities, more investment in youth acadamies - the problem is all but solved.Problem is our SPFL leaders haven't the bollocks to play hardball with Sky and have sold out Scottish Football for a pittance. Until this inequality is sorted Scottish football will decline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tontospal 1,116 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 What about all the far eastern countries and others around the world that watch the EPL should their clubs also get a charitable payout from Sky?Scottish football gets the going rate for a third rate product that is governed by individuals who out self-interest before the good of the game or fairness for supporters Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canabear 4,558 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 He's not wrong,in fact he is spot on in that article. The one thing that jumps out from it though is why it is taking a journalist from outwith the borders of Scotland to write about what everyone inside the borders can see.

Until this inequality is sorted Scottish football will decline.Sky know that even if they paid £1 per year for tv rights they would lose very few Scottish viewers. Why? Because they bet on everyone tuning in not for Scottish games but for English games. And so do BT hence the price war.Even if every household in Scotland took a Sky sub with an exclusive Scottish football channel, it would still be worth buttons to Sky.

Whats ridiculous about that?We are left with the scraps from the table because we have negotiated poorly, but which is substantially not helped by no old firm games.

Now that's being robbed.Well done Celtic, your extreme arrogance managed to spoil the highlight of an honest pro's career. You should be ashamed of yourselves.But overall Scottish football is in a bad way right now. It's in need of major surgery. Celtic's pathetic letter should fire the SFA into action.
