When the team that finished 3rd last season is paying an average wage of about 40k a year, any way of redistribution of wealth would help them greatly... The distribution of the money is already quite fair imo, you can't have the team finishing 2nd getting the same as 9th. The prize money is that small that it's barely going to make a difference when it comes to challenging the old firm. I agree that anything is better than nothing but I don't see it making any kind of serious change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its not very democratic but I don't see how changing it to 9-3 would make a difference to the old firm dominating which is what the previous poster implied. I would happy see it change to 9-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking it might be the only thing they have won since Tierney turned pro, had a look and they have won the FA cup 4 times in the last 7 years.

Tartan Chris Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Once fit Tierney did really well for Arsenal. Think he'll be huge for them next season and will set up loads of goals for Aubameyang if he stays. Also playing in the back 3 a fair bit so that remains an option for the national team if Clarke wants to go back down that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't great at Chelsea's goal, but other than that he was solid...his distribution from the back was outstanding as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBlueScot Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Interesting to compare the old firm this weekend. Celtic have 6 Scots on the pitch but Rangers the normal 2. However, on the bench Celtic have none but Rangers 4. (I know there are injuries). Be interesting to see how the extra subs has an impact and players like Mayo, Henderson (what's happened to him?) Etc get on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Currently Ryan Fulton has conceded 4 goals, yet has been Hamilton’s best player. I say this as he used to be our u21 keeper and I think he looks very capable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
