MC Prussian Posted 31 August 2018 Posted 31 August 2018 Celtic selling Moussa Dembélé to Olympique Lyon for £16m. Tidy business for a player they paid 30 times less two and a half years ago.

Shame Scottish football has little reputation giving the teams more income/transfer money. Eye opener when you read non league/league sometimes earn the same/more than the SPL

Shame Scottish football has little reputation giving the teams more income/transfer money. Eye opener when you read non league/league sometimes earn the same/more than the SPL Scottish football has always been a stepping stone, with the exception of a couple of the Souness years at Rangers, when English internationals went in the other direction. In recent years there's been Van Dijk, Robertson now Dembele, amongst others. Whilst the overall quality isn't as strong as some other leagues, it's a decent proving ground for players with ambitions to come to the premier league. I mentioned this in the Benkovic thread, Scottish teams take the odd tanking in European competition but very rarely is it an English club that thrashes them, despite the huge disparity in earnings from one league to another. When it comes to an all British affair, Scottish clubs, with the odd exception, do just fine. Celtic have more or less held their own against both Manchester clubs in recent years and you can go all the way back to Rangers beating then English champions Leeds home and away in the European cup in 1992. The only thrashing I can remember was the all conquering Liverpool beating Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen 5-0 over two legs in 1980. There's bound to be a few since then that I've forgotten but, for the most part, the ties tend to be relatively even.
Wymsey Posted 1 September 2018 Posted 1 September 2018 Hope Rangers win at Celtic Park to make the early title race up there more interesting.
Vacamion Posted 2 September 2018 Posted 2 September 2018 And we think that officials in England are dodgy...
Fox92 Posted 2 September 2018 Posted 2 September 2018 Might tune in today, see how Gerrard gets on in his first Old Firm derby.
fazzyfox Posted 2 September 2018 Posted 2 September 2018 The result of the Scott Brown derby day yellow card sweepstake is 9 minutes. To be fair he had played within the rules of the game for the previous eight minutes.

Off the bar, in to the net, probably hit the bottom of the net where it's held down in to the ground and bounced out. It should definitely be a goal.

StanSP Posted 2 September 2018 Posted 2 September 2018 Just now, ealingfox said: Yeah I got that but why did he give a throw in???? as it came out, the defender smacked the ball out of play. So while the players were celebrating, the goal wasn't given at all and play actually continued.

Asha Posted 2 September 2018 Posted 2 September 2018 Watch the linesman carefully. He stands there doing nothing and then several seconds after the goal, suddenly flags. Strange. Oh yeah, he's flagging for the throw.
Soar Fox Posted 2 September 2018 Posted 2 September 2018 What a god awful game that was. Did rangers even have a shot? You can see why Aberdeen’s best striker would rather go and play in the conference league.
Guest MattP Posted 3 September 2018 Posted 3 September 2018 Just watched the highlights, terrible game of football by the looks of it. Gerrard has made a great start but they have loads of work still to do to get on a par with the fiddlers.

RonnieTodger Posted 3 September 2018 Posted 3 September 2018 I don't understand how Rangers can be so far off the pace, it was like they were playing Man City. I get that they'd try and frustrate Celtic initially, but it was embarrassing to do it for virtually the whole game.
Wymsey Posted 3 September 2018 Posted 3 September 2018 Hope Hearts maintain the good run that they're on and seriously compete for first place.
Wymsey Posted 23 September 2018 Posted 23 September 2018 At this rate, with Celtic losing at Kilmarnock after conceding a last-minute goal, it's going to be a very interesting title race. Personally can't see Hearts maintaining their excellent start. Naismiths' penalty miss yesterday may well have been a massive chance blown to strengthen their grip..
spacemunky Posted 23 September 2018 Posted 23 September 2018 Was shocked when I looked at the standings and saw Celtic in 6th.
Jimothy Posted 23 September 2018 Posted 23 September 2018 Hearts are something like 25/1 to win the league, tempted to stick a tenner on.
Wymsey Posted 29 September 2018 Posted 29 September 2018 It seems as if the English FA isn't the only one that needs a shake-up.. The area will be chaotic all day. Is the SPFL right to play both semi-finals on the same day at Hampden? Thank you for voting. Here are the current results. Yes 6% No 94% You have reached the maximum number of votes allowed. This vote will close at 1600 BST on 30 September 2018.
