your right in saying that the scottish premier league isnt as competitive as the premiership (although if you look at who has won the premiership over the last 5 seasons or so it one of two teams - arsenal or Man utd - bit like the scottish league on a bigger scale ?? where its either Rangers or Celtic who are going to win it but glad to see chelsea doing the business just now) but its certainley far more rougher - theres more passing & class in the premiership where in the scottish league they like to kick & run more than pass, as for the easy option - well celtic cant be that be that bad - after all they did put blackburn & liverpool out of the eufa cup on their way to its final last season - dont remeber a premiership club in the final that year..
and as for craig bellamy - he really has no aspirations to play for a good team co if he did he wouldnt have signed for Celtic and yes he will find it easy to adopt to celtics type of play - martin oneil has adpoted the kick up the park to John fatson who passes to chris sutton (who dives) and gets the dodgy free kick which ends in the goal ! - thats their style of play and if a pro footy player cant fit into that then he's not worth the laces on his boots !
Its not a good situation for Rangers & Celtic cos they are big teams in a '**** poor' league - its not our fault that other clubs dont have the cash to match us or the fans to follow us.
wen the bubble finally bursts in the english game ( which I do believe it will happen) like it did in italy a few seasons ago andthe cash begins to run out I think that rupert murdoch (who part owns the english game due to his sky tv company) will offer the incentive rangers & celtic joining the english set up at whatever level thus letting murdoch & sky to take full control of the english game along side the f.a - with the re-formatting of all leagues to make way for the old firm - sky know that rangers & celtic are big money - skys biggest pay per view games are when they show the old firm games & and thats when their viewing figures are also at their highest - now add them to the english game and you instantly add millions to each club thus putting the englisg game back on track.
I know that alot of people dont want the old firm in england but one day it will happen and at what level I dont know - and please dont say they should start of in the conference as that is would be embarresing to the othr conference clubs (no offence by the way) - I personally would like to se rangers & celtic start of in the 2nd divison and work their way up - and I reckon it would take 5/6 seasons before they reach the premiership and a good level of play with better players - theres more money down here than up there - and with more money buys you better players ! - the only carrot we can offer players in champions league/uefa cup footy.
I know I am going to get some folk on here having a go but I hope it gets constructive replys and not moronic ones.
thanks, oh and incase your wondering I have a season ticket for rangers & make the journey north as often as I can.
