  1. Sorry, I still not getting it. In the current system, has it not always been beneficial for both teams to do as well as possible in order to get that 11th position?
  2. The electoral commission should stamp out this blatant gerrymandering.
  3. Is that not the case every season? Whether it's Rangers or Celtic. In general, it should always be beneficial for either, or both, to do as well as possible, even if they can't bring themselves to admit it. This might be a slightly more specific reason this year. I'm sure Ramy will be secretly cheering you on. 🤣
  4. I thought she was dead, by the way you were talking.
  5. I think "levelling up" has been redefined. https://www.itv.com/news/2024-03-06/outrage-as-canary-wharf-gets-242m-for-levelling-up-in-the-budget
  6. Anybody considering investing in Hunt's new Great British ISA? Malcolm? Another tax bung to the already wealthy.
  7. Is this one of those daft awards that is decided half way through the season?
  8. Aye, maybe about the same level of competitiveness, now that you point it out? Between the war and Jock Stein's arrival as Celtic manager, Rangers won about half of the league titles on offer. As you say that's still a lot more competitive than nowadays. Even in the Fergie/ McLean era, Celtic still won about half the league titles available, and although Rangers weren't winning much, they were still competing well with the other three. They just weren't quite at the same level, but not far behind.
  9. I think a two horse race is slightly better than a one horse one. Over the past decade it's really been all Celtic. Rangers might be starting to claw their way back? Time will tell. For most of the history of Scotland's top league it has been one dominant team, with the other teams winning now and again. Between the war and 1966, Celtic only won the league once. That all changed with Jock Stein. For those folk who don't like the two horse race, they should maybe blame Jock Stein for that, but at least he made it a bit more competitive for a while. What we need is another Jock Stein to appear at one of the other clubs to maybe make it a three horse race for a while. We have only had a competitive league for a short time in the early 80s. Fergie and Jim McLean didn't have huge budgets but what money they did have they used very wisely, and they obviously had great football brains. When will the next Stein, Ferguson or McLean appear? Of course the finances in football are very different nowadays. Maybe Warnock will surprise us all when he stays on for another season at Pittodrie?
  10. Celtic have just won 11 out of the last 12. Rangers might be top at present but this season isn't over yet.
  11. Aye, I'm pretty sure Ralston will be in the squad.
  12. Try this one. They have a few different ones. info@scottishfa.co.uk
  13. I think we usually sell about 10K season tickets. Just shows what a wee bit of success can do for ticket sales.
  14. I think 20,000 is more than normal.
  15. You have the freedom not to be weak willed if you choose to use it. Nobody is forcing you to buy stuff that is advertised. Nobody is forcing you to look at the advertising.
  16. Only a question of time until Rishi!!!! and Sir Kier follow on, like sheep. https://www.itv.com/news/2024-03-04/kamala-harris-demands-immediate-ceasefire-in-gaza-as-talks-hang-in-balance
  17. You do realise that Naismith wasn't actually playing today, don't you? Or, last week.
  18. 🤣 Are you trying to out Ramy Big Ramy? 🤣 Did Dundee just lie down to Celtic last week?
  19. I'd probably vote for him if I lived in his constituency down south.
