Horsey, do you have these ‘debates’ on multiple boards or just this one?

Seems very time consuming...

Again other question since you dpnt want to answer my kast one still waiting for a answer on that to

 

 

No, you clearly didn't.

I see what people mean when they say you keep moving the goalposts. 

 

Plus I said Scotland was equivalent to League One, not League two.

Because you asked to name players from League One OR League Two.   Now you are saying you want league two players only.

And when you said "HE" mentioned League two, who are you referring to?

I’ve been on here some years now and this is hands down THE most boring debate I’ve ever seen (more fool me for getting involved!).

I gave you 10 players and answered your question.

As for what else you are talking about I have no idea. Your posts are generally too nonsensical to understand.

Give up. You've had a bit of Stenhousemuir here.

I don’t know a single person that gives a toss about Scottish football. I doubt most folk down here could name a single player in the SPL - maybe Scott Brown at a push.

No obsession, just this horse fella giving out plenty, but moving the goalposts every time he’s caught out.

So your so unobsessed with it your still commenting?

Where would Celtic finish in the Premier league I wonder? A flirt with relegation would be on the cards I would say, although I would expect them to stay up. 

Championship? In and around the play-offs 

Sorry but this is an oft trotted out and really meaningless argument.  if Celtic were moved into the EPL they would have hunners of millions of pounds to spend and would have a completely different team to the 1 they have now so any prediction to where they would finish is meaningless.  They would also have a huge worldwide support and a weekly gate of 60,000 so the building blocks would be there to be as successful as anyone else in that league.  Hopefully it will never happen but it's clear that if they moved down south they would be up there challenging within a few years, especially if they got the investment that some others have had.  Not in any way a Celtic fan myself but they would be a huge draw for investment with their overseas reach, way more than  a Man City or a Chelsea.

Why on earth would any English person have an ‘obsession’ with Scottish football?

All stems from the view that certain people don't want to sign players from certain pro-leagues, completely forgetting that we've currently got one of our best in Mulgrew from there. It's not just snobbery, it's stupidity. Maybe we should only sign players from the Prem and Championship - oh wait, about 40 other teams probably have the pick of that crop ahead of us.

In terms of dryhorse’s nonsense It actually all stemmed from me stating that the Scottish Premier League is a poor standard - which it is.

As I posted on the last page there are reasons why the standard has fallen but it Is as poor as it has ever been. I don't think anyone ever said it was league two standard although I said league one for most clubs which I think is fair.

However if there's was any up and coming young player then I'd still have a look at bringing them to a Championship club. I'd worry about any non-Celtic journeymen coming in though.

Hows it poor as its ever been teams like Motherwell and Killie have had great seasons Hibs Rangers Aberdeen fought till last day for second

Ross County went down on last day Partick knocked out in semis as said before there was a bigger gap in the EPL

I'm talking in general, not this season. It's because in the 80s and 90s the gap between salaries in the SPL and other major European leagues wasn't as great,so players in their prime like Laudrup and Larson may move there. Other clubs in the top flight wouldn't lose their players to relatively lower league English clubs just because they could pay seriously more in wages. 

However the stupid money thrown about by TV means that average players would rather turn up on £8k in the Champinship than in Scotland. That's not a fault or criticism of the Scottish league. It's just another side effect of the gross money in the game. I'm not knocking the competitiveness of the league outside of Celtic, just that the quality of players plying their trade in Scotland's is worse than in previous eras.

Dont agree...celtic will never have the level of attraction in places like the far east that city or chelsea have

[Mattyblue]

Who the feck were those two clubs before oil money?

If you play in the ‘EPL’ and the CL year in year out, you sell shirts in the Far East, end of.
