Scottish Title Decider

not when the league splits?

That's how the fixtures fall, based on what has gone on during the rest of the season.

Teams can't pick and choose when they want to play at home or away.

I’m not against leagues splitting as there’s usually sensible reasons behind the numbers in the top flight around Europe, but I do think it makes more sense to play everyone twice, then split and play everyone in your section twice (home & away).

Avoids the anomaly in Scotland where some teams end up playing more home or away games and/or playing teams 3 times at home or once away or vice versa.

Great Game Smurph, Mrs and I watched it in Sarah Siddons in Brecon. Guinness £4.35 a pint, the more you drunk the more you saved

Great little pub that, locals very welcoming.

piggery is as piggery does...the tentacles are long and well established

Asshole.

Agree but it is unfair (other opinions are available) that Celtic got to play their mean rivals at home in the final five games. I have no loyalty to either sect so it is not an anti Irish/Catholic swipe. I'm just gutted for Hearts who have almost shook the apple tree but unfortunately they don't remember who finished second. At least Hearts get to play in the Champions League though they have to win three games just to be where Celtic start.

Celtic had already played at Ibrox and Tyncastle twice this season, so how is it unfair?

Me too handball is handball, does not matter if it's intentional or not.

Man U got away with it in their game against Forest, it was a clear handball decision for me, but I soon realised that no way was the ref gonna disallow the goal, especially after the time he took over making the decision, he was taking the time to get his words right.

We went there on the saturday night we stayed up there a few months ago and it was mad there, more like the Queens yesterday afternoon though

 

[Smurph]

Funny as anything reading all the desperation everywhere to get the game forfeited and Hearts handed a 3 nil win.

You're lucky there's no First Lanark. They'd have kicked your ass.

I've seen a lot of shit and hate thrown at Celtic since their latest title triumph last weekend. if anyone isn't sure behind the history of the club, they'd do well to educate themselves to why the club exists today.


Celtic F.C. was formed in November 1887 by an Irish Marist priest called Brother Walfrid. The club was originally created to help tackle poverty and feed hungry people in Glasgow’s struggling East End.

At the time, the area was dealing with overcrowding, unemployment and growing religious tensions, mainly linked to large numbers of Irish immigrants arriving in the city. Brother Walfrid wanted the football club to raise money to support the “Poor Children’s Dinner Tables” and help families who were really struggling.

He also saw the club as something far bigger than football — a way to bring people together, build pride in the community and help Irish immigrants feel part of wider Scottish society.

That’s why Celtic has always meant more than just what happens on the pitch. The club’s roots are deeply tied to both the Irish and Scottish communities, built on identity, belonging and looking after your own. For many supporters, supporting Celtic is as much about community, culture and shared history as it is about football itself. It’s a club that was born from hardship and unity, and that connection still means something to people today.

A club that welcomes all, sadly still neanderthals are around us.

It says a lot that a team that Celtic fans reckon is their worst in very many years was still good enough to win the title.
Huge credit to Hearts for pushing them all the way too.
Celtic badly need better domestic opposition to push on and get into the group stages of the Champions league every season. Now 8 games in the group stages which is a major attraction in recruiting players. Celtic fans crave those European nights at Celtic Park against top opposition and it would help to bring them back if they were under more pressure every week.

After looking at this I’m going to start supporting Dumbarton.
