Yep. I've said before - I'm hoping most of Scottish football is killed off so we can get out of this tin pot set up and be part of a proper set up.

tannerall 25,935 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's a great idea if you are Welsh, Northern Irish, or Scottish, but basically our football is shite and the better financed English teams (and the better financed FA will never agree. And ourselves and cellic will still be seen rightly or wrongly as potentially too toxic as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We one of the best behaved supports in the world, unlike as you say the Scum who cause carnage everywhere they go. It’s about time we started fighting back against this misconception.

It's a historical thing. And I think you are ignoring the realities of trouble at pre-season games. Our fan base has been magnificent in their support in the last 10 years, with severe provocations no only from the traditional cellic lot, but other fans now see us as fair game too. But recently the cellic fans have had quite a few incidents too. It still lingers in the background and the English clubs know this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayWilson 3,381 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Don't think itll happen but can definitely see some form of league reconstruction happening here.

Seemed a good idea at the time, but in hindsight do you really think that Charles Green was taking us down to a lower league level to get us back to the top, or do you maybe think he was just taking us there to strip us down further and bury us further before running off with all the assets ? Always be careful what you wish for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
