** Official ** January 2010 Transfer Thread- Rumours & Speculation in here

yes and an arsenal player had to dive, to get the opening goal. this then changed the whole match, celtic were now chasing the game, etc.

so you think because arsenal had to cheat to win it was easy?

No.

It was an easy win with half a team, you were obviously going to bring that up but it didn't change the game at all. If you have any sort of memory you'll remember that for 180 minutes Celtic ran the ball to the half way line, ran out of ideas and gave it back to Arsenal. Didn't they have something like 2 shots in the second game? Quite sure they did.

You're obviously quite bitter about the decline of your league and not really looking at the facts. Celtic's current team would be battling for survival in the Prem.

Also, the score was 5 - 1 over two legs, not really close.

Just found the stats from the games, Celtic had 2 shots on target in 180 minutes. What's your excuse now?

The difference is I can accept when Arsenal have been well beaten.

I'm basing my opinions on your current team, this year. It was possibly Celtic's biggest game of the season so they were obviously putting 100% in both legs. I don't want to insult you but those CL qualifiers were more comfortable than most Prem games this year, I don't dislike Celtic or anything, just being honest ..

im not saying celtic would win the premiership,

they would get 8-15th place for 2 years easily, then start to go up

 

[jakeke]

Optimistic, I think first year you'd struggle to survive if no changes were made to the team.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Rooney has done it once in his whole career. Straws. Clutching.

rooney done it against a team in the relegation zone, not against a team which were/are in the top 4

 

[Psycho Sonny]

we have just got rid of about 15 players this season, and brought in about 10, the whole squad is new bar a few key members. this new squad would definitely be above 15th place

 

[Tummy]

the standard of football is awful, yet you could never ever compete with them, what does that tell you? im not making it personal, you obviously dont have a clue about football as a whole if you think its so bad.

Why does me not being able to compete with them make it a good league? lmao

You're making this personal, please don't. You sound childish.

there is also no way in hell your school team were undefeated in 3 years, even the top teams in the world like brazil or barcelona lose now and again. yet a bunch of school kids, who all run and chase after a ball in their nappies, managed to not get beaten once in 3 years? i highly doubt it. maybe you should stop talking out your ***.

Yup we did Years 7, 8 and 9 undefeated

"talking out my ****"

I thought Celtic got 64'000 people every week in a 61'000 stadium

You were beaten something daft like 5-1 over two legs against Arsenal, yes I'd put those 4 other goals down to that penalty hahaha

Scottish football is awful, the league standard is awful.

Celtic would be in fighting to stay in the Premier league if they were playing in the English Prem.

 

[jakeke]

I like Mowbray so I'm sure Celtic will improve over the next year or two. Silly debate anyway as I can't see Rangers and Celtic ever joining the English leagues.

 

[Tummy]

They'd be daft to join the English leagues imo.

They'd never get Champions league football, and would turn in to a team fighting to stay in the league.

Whats better? Champions league football, winning your domestic league (even if it's ****) or fighting to stay in an English league?

Really don't understand why people would want Celtic and Rangers in the English leagues.

there is not enough revenue from tv deals, advertising, league, cups, etc. to help us compete with other teams in leagues with a lot more money.

scotland has a population of 5 million, we need to move to a bigger league to become bigger and better, because this league is far too small for us.

welsh teams play in england, yet scottish ones can't? seems hypocritical to me.

? Mowbray is much better than what they had, much, much better.

Same with every other Scottish team, how is it fair to move 1 or 2 and not everybody? Seems very selfish.

ooh well done stopping with the childish attitude

You mean Celtic and Rangers want moar money so they want to move to England? Turn in to at best mid table cannon fodder?

You're willing to sacrafice a European run or the chance of winning the Scottish cup for money in the English league?

If it was up to me Welsh teams wouldn't be in the English leagues either, but it's not.

Scottish football isn't good, it's ****.

strachan done well, he got us into the last 16 within the champions league. so i reckon we would do okay within the premiership.

we had martin oneill before him and although he wasn't as successful within europe he was a great manager.

So he wasn't successful but was a good manager?

Celtic are never going to do much in the Champions League, I'd be more then happy with taking one major scalp in the group stages to be honest.

And Portsmouth nearly beat Milan not to long ago. European form means nothing when it comes to the league.

celtic cannot go any further within scottish football, they have peaked, so have rangers. they need to be allowed into the premiership if they want to be able to grow further.

why do you not want them to come? its more competition. more competition means better football for everyone.

Mainly because it's the English league and it isn't a shelter home for the want-aways from surrounding smaller leagues.

Scotland should concentrate on grass roots training and try and improve their own players firstly.

Would you be happy if a couple of Irish or Welsh teams joined in your top league because they didn't want to play in their own anymore?

wasnt as successful within europe is what i said. do you have selective reading disorder?

are you saying martin oneill isnt a good manager? is he better or worse then mowbray?
