lildave3 Posted 22 October 2009 Posted 22 October 2009 People keep mentioning Celtic's finances, I don't quite understand how they aren't better off than they are. They have a huge stadium, and have been in the Champions League the last few years. They can't exactly have a hue wage bill so why don't they have more money?

They don't get much TV money I guess and then I reckon they are paying a lot in wages just to entice players up there!
LCFC-ARAB Posted 22 October 2009 Posted 22 October 2009 They don't get much TV money I guess and then I reckon they are paying a lot in wages just to entice players up there! they've just been put back on sky so they'll be making more money from that than previous seasons
Hitesh Posted 22 October 2009 Posted 22 October 2009 they've just been put back on skyso they'll be making more money from that than previous seasons Not so sure, I know they were on quite a bit through the Setanta deal and they werent getting anything near that with the new deal - there was talk at some point that they would get their own deals but went with the Sky one in the end.
Edmund Posted 22 October 2009 Posted 22 October 2009 Felt gutted for Fulham. They only had to hold on for a minute. Oh well still a good result considering they went down to ten men and it could have easily been 2-1 if that penalty had not been saved. Referee had a mare though regarding the penalty/sending off decision.
Ultra Posted 23 October 2009 Posted 23 October 2009 Not so sure, I know they were on quite a bit through the Setanta deal and they werent getting anything near that with the new deal - there was talk at some point that they would get their own deals but went with the Sky one in the end. The SPL clubs are making far less off Sky and ESPN than they were off Setanta. It will be a while before either Rangers or Celtic can compete successfully in Europe again.
tbf Posted 23 October 2009 Posted 23 October 2009 I went to see Valencia v Slavia Prague last night. Mestella is pretty awesome stadium, and the football was really good. Anyway the reason for my post is that there were 5 officials on the pitch. Two linesmen, one ref and two guys who stood in opposite corners, actually on the pitch (not next to the linesmen). Someone said they were for goal line decisions. I was wondering if this is going on at all Europa League games?

Craig Posted 23 October 2009 Posted 23 October 2009 Not sure if it's been mentioned (i'm too lazy to check), but Liverpool are favourites to win this lol
Wilkesy Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Fulham 1-0 up in Rome. 2,000 travelling fans aswell, good effort.
lildave3 Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Fulham winning, Kamara pen. Celtic made a bright start too.
dandannieldanok Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Fulham 1-0 up in Rome. 2,000 travelling fans aswell, good effort. It is a good effort, one wonders though why they can't manage this for any Premier League game outside of London.
leicesterfox86 Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Fulham 1-0 up in Rome. 2,000 travelling fans aswell, good effort. Excellent stuff. Roy Hodgson has done so well with them, future England manager after Capello maybe? As for the other game tonight, this football blog on the Europa League emphasises how Everton really do have their work cut out. He does point out that Benfica lost at the weekend though, so they are beatable. Hopefully Everton will get an early goal and build on it. I do find it hard to care about this competition at this stage though. The Champions League teams will be coming in before long and they are bound to be the favourites! Although Fulham could suprise a few people by the looks of thing!
lildave3 Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Celtic should be 2 up, McDonald has had two glorious chances. <_<
Bert Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Celtic can progress from that group. I'd actually be willing to place a bet on Celtic winning that group. Fulham 1-0 up in Rome. 2,000 travelling fans aswell, good effort. Shame they can't do it in the league.
Part Of The Crowd Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 I like Fulham, decent club showing that smaller clubs can compete in the PL and are an ideal role model to smaller teams. What the hell is up with Roma though, the stadium looks empty and there is no atmosphere?
Part Of The Crowd Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Triple post? This one appeared while I was editing the other one, how strange.
Part Of The Crowd Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 That was a fooking horrible decision from the referee, that could ruin the game... again.
BoneDog Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Gutted for Fulham and Mo Al Fayed cos 'him got a big winky, him got a nice faaaacccccce'
lildave3 Posted 5 November 2009 Posted 5 November 2009 Five's football coverage is shambolic. Colin Murray
