What price an SPFL game against Celtic in America? £2m? More? You can’t blame Dundee for being enterprising but I can’t see this initiative happening.
Celtic are the Great Gravy Train of Scottish football. We defy the status of our league to reach European Nirvana, which enriches us but also pays a healthy dividend to our supportive (cough) domestic competitors. The Caravan of Celtic arrives once or twice a year at each location, bringing paying fans and TV cameras. Therein lies the business model of many Scottish football clubs.
This is fair enough, but there are limits beyond which it’s inappropriate to spread the Gravy.
Don’t think I’m being sentimental here. Dundee can play their home games wherever they like as far as I’m concerned. They can move them to the US, in fact, if they convince the residents of Dingwall to do likewise, I’d have no problem with the ideal. Just so long as it’s consistent with a significant growth strategy for Celtic. The odd £1m here or there isn’t worth it for us otherwise.

a) I said I would be more interested. I did not say I agreed with the idea;
b) I know it is my choice. I wondered whether `America` in reference was in the decline.
I lived there for a year and loved it.

Celtic would play on the moon for £1mil, let’s not kid ourselves here…
Bada!
Will Kiernan now be done for simulation?

Uncle David Thank you

So we have 2nd time SFA have issued a “not Proven”
that I know of the other being Kris Boyd.
(maybe i am obsessed and just monitor certain teams players)
But in TONEV case “his word against mine”
they reckoned they way Sheep player reacted
was enough evidence
under rules of probability or similar.
Kiernan is a diddy anyway

Awe-Naw,
Not like the DR to get it wrong.

Awe-Naw,
Many hoopy returns! Raise a glass in between bouts of karaoke!!! Have you learned any new songs?
Afternoon Bhoys
Anyone have any idea how I get from Edinburgh or Glasgow (not really bothered which) to Dingwall by Public transport??
Dublin to Edinburgh flight lands in E’Burgh at 7.30am
Dublin to Glasgow flight lands at 8am
So I am thinking flying into Edinburgh is better option. Game kicks off at 12.30 on Easter Sunday. I assume I’d need at least two trains to get there. I might phone an Edinburgh based CSC to see what time they leave at on morn of game. If they don’t leave til after 8am I could be ok.
Any advice re trains though from Edinburgh to Dingwall would be appreciated. There certainly does not appear to be direct trains from Edinburgh to Dingwall, unsurprisingly.
Hail Hail

Sandman – I liked Graham Taylor after that documentary, as for Phil Neal…..
Hot Smoked, strictly speaking America (or The Americas) refers to the North and South America continental land mass so referring to the USA as America is technically incorrect.
There are many other names you can use other than USA but the Mods may get you!

Regarding the latest Kieran sfa decision. So let’s be clear:
A clear punch is now not proven
The sfa could not prove the diving save by the IcT player in the cup semi was deliberate hand ball.
But tonev can be banned without any clear evidence.
Ah well plus de change eh? At least we know our board are happy with such “fairness”
Awe Naw happy birthday. As Jim Royal says, “42 my arse!”

I just replayed Kieran’s punch and it’s as clear as day. Only a special country like Scotland could find a way to deny it…….

If you decide to travel by train let me know I can book you the cheapest advanced ticket and seat reservation which will be a lot cheaper than a walk up ticket on the day. Can post it over to you before you travel.

Your Obsessed.(like me)
Kiernan wasn’t only player to benefit from NOT proven verdict
Kris Boyd was playing in Glasgow but cant for the life of me
remember who for when he nutted a HIBS player.
As i said in previous page cant think of any other
but maybe I just remember certain ones.
