No Ish it is being down to earth. You are wanting your club to move to a different country because you are bored.

I support Rangers knowing what league they perform in, wether we play a team four times a year is an issue to take up with OUR game administrators. Its not right to just jump ship.

We are whats stopping this league becoming a complete non-entity and to me it would be detrimental to the Scottish game for us to pull out and leave this country with nothing.

It isnt parochial its reality, We ARE Scottish ipso-facto WE PLAY in SCOTLAND. What is difficult about this.

All this clambour to get into Engurlund is nothing short of embarrasing.

Its like standing at their door on Christmas looking for scraps off the dinner.

"We are whats stopping this league becoming a complete non-entity and to me it would be detrimental to the Scottish game for us to pull out and leave this country with nothing."

That's not what I was proposing. I believe what I was proposing would make SPL STRONGER. Read it again.



It isnt parochial its reality, We ARE Scottish ipso-facto WE PLAY in SCOTLAND. What is difficult about this. Again... refer to my earlier post. Also... just because it is 'reality' does not mean it is not parochial. And who says we have to stop being Scottish? I am not suggesting we MOVE to England. Britain is a VERY small country north to south... MUCH smaller than most other European countries.

As Zacshda said, each to their own.

I actually believe that the only thing stopping the SPL being a good league is the other teams. They are just too happy to lay blame at the old firms door and hang about with a chip on their shoulder rather than deal with the issues. The issue is that they are all too incosistent. Not one of them can nail a spot betwenn 12th and 3rd and make it theirs.

Their argument would hold water if they played us 36 times a year because then they could say the gulf in class maters. However they cant play consistently against teams below them.

They hardly give themselves the best chance.

It's called striving for more. Rangers and Celtic are too big for Scotland and they have the support to maintain a team in the EPL. Unfortunately it will probably never happen much to the detriment of the Old Firm and Scotland. However, would it be fair to let them parachute into the Premiership or Championship?

It'll never happen cus the EPL couldn't have teams from Wales, Scotland and one that might be Irish.
