Couldn't afford as much as Hibs. Good day.

Well Aberdeen weren't willing to match the terms Hibs offered, so spin that as you like ?

Yes you did, before you got Christie. You couldn't afford him.

It's well known the sheep enquired about Commons in January which would have been infinitely funnier than this ? Good luck Efe!

Apparently going to be No.2 at Ibrox ?????

Read on social media this morning that of the 100 trophies Celtic have won Billy has been instrumental either as player or manager for 31 of those! Astonishing. He really is Mr. Celtic!

Sad to see the story of Billy's dementia become public today. A true gent and a giant of the game up here.

Let's hope you're not being premature eh?

Youre trotting all this out cos you beat Killie ???? PS if you trawled further you would see I've consistently said Aberdeen should finish 2nd as they have better players than Sevco!

Another Saturday another shocking refereeing performance!

You mean open my wallet really don't you? ??

I think this is where I check out VA.? Cheers for the debate min ?

You are talking about handicapping Celtic tho..... just admit it! Fairness is at the heart of your argument and yet what you are proposing is in no way fair. Just a desire to clip one clubs wings in the desire to create some sort of communist cabal in Scottish football. Any gulf in resources between Celtic and the rest has been created by years of hard work by everyone at the club from the fans up. Stop whining and come up with something sensible, equitable and fair to all. In fairness if some of these proposals were introduced tomorrow they would probably finish off the other lot for good! ?

A 50/50 split of gate money and pooling of merchandise income would cost Celtic eyewatering amounts of money! Come on VA you're not telling me that if some Chinese businessman bought Aberdeen and promised to plough in £50m you'd be happy to give half of it away to the rest for the good of the game? I can hardly find a sheepworrier who'll buy me a pint! ???

The problem is we are so far ahead of the others you would have to seriously handicap Celtic to create genuine competition. If we are talking about fairness here then that simply isn't. Some things could be done and some have been suggested on here but they would have to be equitable, long term and sustainable....there's no quick fix. Even then you are relying on some of the clowns running our clubs using the extra money wisely. ? Personally I would ditch the TV deal unless Sky can be persuaded to get much more generous. Get our stadiums full and you'll get moving the right way again. We also need our biggest clubs back in the top flight asap, Hibs, United Dunfermline etc but no one can do it for them.

Aye ok, u started it! ?

That's kind of part of my point. Any additional money can't be at the disposal of club chairmen. And yet....How can it not be? You say write some rules? Yeah, we all know how good they are at that.

I'm not against an even share of TV money at all. I think you might find the likes of Stuart Milne would have a big problem taking any hit on his budget!

No, in my opinion what he's talking about is manufacturing a level playing field by rewarding failure and incompetence. What's fair about that exactly?

I would be in favour of a central fund that all clubs contribute a percentage of revenue to. The principal aim would be of youth development and some protection that young stars are given time to develop at their parent clubs and adequate compensation being paid in the event of them moving on. The problem with a lot of these suggestions is that they have a subsidy junky feel to them. It's not Celtics fault we have a well run club in rude financial health and people forget it's come at a cost at times to get where we are. Also, can those who run these clubs be trusted with additional money? These are the clubs who pissed away the TV money and easy credit when times were good. These are the men who voted for the disastrous Setanta deal. Look at the omnishambles that is Ibrox! I'm in favour of something that will help competitiveness but some of the stuff that is being spoken about here is intrinsically unfair. The notion that I would buy a Celtic kit, season book and pools etc only to see half of it go into a kitty to be pissed away by the likes of Steven Thomson is utterly ridiculous!

Eh.......Bury are near the bottom of league 1! I can't imagine they attract much more of a crowd than Killie....4,000 or so? Something amiss here imo.

A mate of mine is a sheepworrier, he's only been to one game.........the 6-5 game at fir park! ?

Apologies, I was forgetting you couldn't give your lot a riddy with a blowtorch!

I can see the sheep putting some real daylight between themselves and Sevco over the next few weeks and the jambos closing in on 3rd!?
