Nonsense about the uncompetitive league

103

With one game to play before the split, Hearts are safe in the top half of the table, but only due to a vastly better goal difference than Livingston.   The real fight for the top six is between St Mirren (44 points), Hibs (43) and Livi (42).

The relegation fight is just as tight between Dundee United (28), Kilmarnock (28) and Ross County (27).  St Johnstone are also feeling the pressure (32).  There was a bit of chat earlier this week about the SPFL being uncompetitive.  Granted, it spans teams from the Champions League and those from towns with a population of 6,000, but Celtic are fully motived, while Aberdeen are packing them in, having only recently moved into third place.

Hearts occupy the final European slot, one point ahead of St Mirren and two ahead of Hibs.  If you were to design a perfectly competitive league in a small country that can span from the Champions down, you would be pushed to do a better job than this Premiership.  Maybe those complaining would feel different if someone else was 12 points clear at the top.

Today, we meet Paddy McLaughlin, one of the Road to Seville cyclists, who set off from Celtic Park next month, aiming to arrive in Seville for the 20th anniversary of our Uefa Cup Final there.  As you’ll see, Paddy is already familiar with the Spanish sunshine.  I hope you enjoy his interview.  You can support the incredible work they do in our name here.  Thank you.

  1. MPShanks – I went to Our Lady’s High but was a few years or so before you. I left there in ’78. Our good friend Aipple was there around your timeframe. I often got on the supporters bus leaving from the Town Centre.

  2. Gavin MacColl KC for Rangers asked Lord Braid not to grant permission for the Castore sales figures to be released. He said the deals differed in nature and this meant the figures could not be released.

     

    What are they hiding?

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Good morning, or G’day from doon under.

     

    Another TGIF, and only a matter of hours now until

     

    our bhoys take on the Mothers.

     

    Good day down the local hostelries, strange how many

     

    people, particularly Engerlunders are coming up to me

     

    and telling me how well Ange has impressed them.

     

    Now that makes me fearful, to hear that from fuds who

     

    have no respect at all for the SPL, if they recognise it

     

    then their particular teams directors do as well.

     

    Hope the big mhan has a mission to complete, and if

     

    it includes a Euro trophy then he might be with us for

     

    a whiley

     

    That’s my wee fear and hope for the day, now let’s

     

    smother the Mothers. 😜

    I’m not surprised that Ange is attracting attention.

     

    He has been a revelation. On and off the park

     

     

    I would not swap him with any other manager.

     

     

    And yes, European football is sooooooo important.

     

     

    His journey is just beginning.

     

     

    HH to all.

  9. Any of our American based Celtic friends going to the Celtic Foundation dinner in NYC tomorrow night ? As previous it looks like being a great night. Rod is apparently doing a wee turn.

  10. HH to all who post on The Dear Geeen Place, not forgetting the lurkers, flirters and ghosties……….

    Coneybhoy,

     

     

    This site has never been an echo chamber. We have discussed topics such as moon landings to cheese on toast. We have discussed evey political aspect under the sun.

     

     

    It is patently obvious there is a cancel culture afoot .

     

     

    90% of my posts is about Celtic. I get absolutely zero response. Not that I give a monkeys

     

     

    However just about every single post I make on the remaining 10% guarantees a response from the usual suspects.

     

     

    They will not cancel me and I hope you are of the same mind.

     

     

    Cheers and HH.

     

     

    =====================

     

     

    Gp that’s an embarrassing post on a Celtic site.

     

    Bordering on cringe

     

    Own your own post.your not a victim here of anything you imagine bout being cancelled

     

     

    As asked to you and Coneybhoy earlier examples please of cancel culture please on here.

     

    In your own time

     

     

    HH

  12. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Russian war plane has bombed a Russian city close to Ukrainian border in error.

     

     

    Regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said “Thank God no one was killed”.

     

     

    If only he (and everyone involved in wars) applied the same sentiment at all times ???
