Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 In essence he is correct. Rangers and Celtic are 2 of the best supported clubs in the world. They suffer from being in a small country and a **** league. Let them loose on a European stage with the ability to collect the same sort of funding as ManU and Barca and they would both be forces to be reckoned with. We unfortunately wouldn't. Don't see what all the fuss is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 He seems pretty bitter about a lot of things to be honest but his idea of man u etc all getting more money from tv rights "because theyre bigger" would make the league 100x more unfair than it is currently. we dont want the EPL to be a joke of a league like the SPL became!

Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 Im sure your comment was a joke but I go to Glasgow regularly for work, in fact I was up there this week and have a number of people I know through work who live there who I would now consider friends. It's a fantastic city. Like every big city it has it's trouble spots and unsavoury characters but it's a great place to visit and a number of people I work with have moved there from England. I must admit if the right role came up I'd consider it as well. My company is looking to hire a male porn star. Must be able to **** at least 10 nubile beautiful women a day and must have at least 10 inches. Based in Glasgow. Interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 Oh, I am sure there are quite a few big-mouthed Alec Salmond look-alike tw*ts strategically placed around the world whose ancestors jumped ship or got deported for crime back when such things occurred, but I for one am not convinced about these communities of McEwans with IrunBru swigging, deep-fried Mars Bar pigging, ginger wig-wearing kn*b-ends glued in front of their TVs getting animated about playing Arsenal and whining about playing us, around the world... As one of many Scots born Saints fans (my wife is from Southampton!) I have noted many of your biggoted views in the past ! I am not in any way PC nor do I take offense easily(if at all!) but I do find some of your opinions particularly obnoxious ! Charles Green has made an arse of himself with his recent statement, no doubt about it IMO, but please remember that he is English and has expressed his personal view which in all probability is not shared by many Rangers supporters ! Your ignorance of football in general is widely acknowledged on this website but please don't patronise fellow fans just to satisfy your twisted little agenda !!

jawillwill Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 I like threads about Rangers and Celtic. You get the people claiming they are no better than Conference standard and others coming out claiming that they are, without doubt, one of the biggest clubs in the world. There's middle ground. The standard of the SPL is, on the whole, about the same as upper-mid Championship level. Rangers (of old) and Celtic have probably averaged at a mid-table Premier league standard in recent decades. Their fanbases are both considerably bigger than Southampton's. Although that doesn't make Southampton a small club. We're just not as big as those 2. Currently, Southampton have similar quality of players to Celtic (IMO). And we're better than Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've missed that there's a massive difference between being one of the biggest clubs in the world and one of the best clubs in the world. Celtic and Rangers are huge clubs globally. In terms of ability they will always be completely limited by the Scottish league. If they played in the Premier League they would have the opportunity to push on and become one of the biggest and best clubs in Britain and Europe. Without that, they will still be among the biggest but nowhere near the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee United also had a very good side which got to the UEFA cup final, when the UEFA cup was a decent trophy with good sides playing in it. It may be sh*t now but in the past Scotland has produced some good players and sides. Some of the best players and managers Britain has produed are Scottish. Quite different to beating Havant and Waterloville every week. Your lazy assumption that Saints would be as successful as Rangers if we played in Scotland is bo*llcks.

Graffito Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 “There will be a European league because big teams can’t keep subsidising small teams like Southampton for the next 10 years because they will go stale." He's confusing the SPL with the PL. Celtic and Rangers went stale in Scotland but there's no evidence that is happening to the top teams in the PL. The so called subsidy to the lower PL teams is what underpins the premiere league's competitiveness and integrity by comparison with the SPL. He seems to be ignoring from which league come the current european champions. It's highly questionable whether the top teams in England want to play european teams week in and week out. We all know how dismal are the group stages of the champions league, albeit this level seems to have been the limit of Rangers' aspirations, entry to which courtesy of a p1ss poor SPL.

AussieDog Posted 12 October, 2012 Share Posted 12 October, 2012 They are probably the only team in the world who have more supporters at their home games than the rest of the league has in it's entirety (and probably morere than the league above them as well)!

Maybe he was also misquoted and meant to say Rangers would rather play Arsenal, Villa, Swansea and Southampton each week rather than the shyte that they can't beat week in week out. They lived outside of their means and cheated - they are now quite rightly paying the price - yet seem to think they should get automatic upgrade to the first class carriage of footballs biggest gravy train because they have big crowds and history behind them. Now is now - then was then. To single out individual clubs who have worked hard and fairly to be where they are shows a distinct lack of class and a huge chip on his shoulder. Maybe they can team up with England's biggest and bestest (at cheating) and start their own Super Conference League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank's cousin Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 I dove love a good 'my club is bigger than your's' **** waving contest - demonstrates all the crappy egocentric shiedt that football is full of... surely a better comparison is simply 'my club is 'better' than yours which the league position usually validates if ego massage is your thing - no one ever agrees on what criteria makes a big club.... feck Blackpool and Bolton would be bigger than most if don on certain criteria... Celtic and Rangers undoudtely have a huge following - not in part because many form outside Glasgow are old firm fans - rather than supporting their local crappy sides - and all the plastic paddies in New York and other places who are Celtic fans, or ex pat scots around the globe hand on to their roots etc... but they have been big fish in a small pond for a long time, so trophy count is perhaps not something that can be fairly applied in a two horse race for 100 years... Would they benefit from more revenue as part of a EU or even the prem? of course they would, but then again look at the 100ml advantage that Rangers had and it still meant they did feck all in Europe... I think Geen is also missing the point somewhat - this is Sport/football and in every country you have the better richer clubs and the smaller less well off clubs - the richer clubs can afford to buy expensive talent and the less well off need to try and unearth undiscovered Gems or nuture their own to try and become more competitive - and in seeing these match up and the odd shock results is what its all about - creating a super league, closed to a the rich few, or those with 'big' fanbases may create a short term TV glut fest, but long term do you think Rangers would be in the top 10? or regularly at the Bottom... how long would fan interest remain in such a 'constructed' artificial league? Man U subsidising Southampton? The guy is clueless - the TV revenues from Sky are given the the prem as a whole... without 19 other clubs who would Man U play? They already get substantially more from that deal than most others through higher Live games and more for finishing higher up... he seems to think that creating an even bigger divide between the top 2 or 3 and the rest is a good thing and shows his ignorance of what the real fan wants.... sadly though, he is probably right when it comes to the airmchair global TV audience... and as we already know, they are all that SKY and the prem seem interested in.

To quote my Scottish hibs supporting mate ... Who has joined me in being a season ticket holder for the past 3 years... "I hope they f**king die in Div 3, Like a dead prossa dumped in a bin. That's all he is. A s**t pimp." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
