Scottish Premier League Discussion and poll

Good to see Hibs have a great start to the season. Here is hoping they can challenge the top two for a little while this season.

Defeat coming up for the Hibees this weekend 

But yes Scottish football needs a strong Hibs (and Hearts) imo.

Scottish football really just needs someone to consistantly challenge the top two, doesn't imo matter who

more about monies, top 2 is so far off the top of Europe its not funny, and the rest of the SPL is so far off the top 2 its not funny, i dont know how popular it would be but they need to figure out a way to merge the leagues of great britain, because if Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham all play in the English system then they may as well merge the rest of the Welsh Systems and Scottish Systems in, I reckon a strong Edinburgh outfit would be of top flight contention within a few years as well as the old firm, it would resurrect scottish football. they should have a 2 tiered premier league of Great Britain, that has underneath it the football league of england, the scottish premier league and the welsh premier league as feeders to it and you could seed the representation in the GBPL by population ratios of the leagues feeding it. i.e. a 40 team GBPL inc. div 1 and div 2 would contain 86% of the teams or 34, Scotland, would contain 8.7% of the teams or 4, and Wales would contain the remaining 2 judging by 06 stats, the worst 2 teams would be relegated for England out of the GBPL, the worst for Scotland and a Playoff for Wales would be fair, it may go against the move away from GB politically, but it would make the leagues in the GB more fair, as for Northern Ireland they should reunite with the republic

They are sort of..........more of a friendly rivalry with them though.

I'd much rather see either of the infirm lose.

Be different if it was the team of fun from up the road though

Your lot were lucky.Very lucky.St Johnstone deserved a point at least out of that game.

We had our reserve team playing so not a bad result

OK, let me rephrase the question... why are Celtic and Rangers referred to as the Infirm? Is it becasue the supporters belong in an infirmary?

Kind of goes along with Soap Dodgers, weegies, bin rakers , no shoes, smelly disease ridden people.

Bit like the Scum 

As for your genuine 1st question.....I've no idea.....TB might know.

 

[Atomic]
