Scottish football

[EvertonGer]

Unreal.

Celtic have been champions of Europe; they are even now - when they are well off the pace football wise - a globally known "brand". Their identity as a sporting institution representing a culture dwarfs rangers - a mere football club.

If you wish to kid yourself that rangers are in any way shape or form the phenomena that Celtic are, then you go right ahead. But no football fan around the world sees Scottish football without thinking of Celtic first and last

And you know this for a fact yeh? You spoke to every football on earth?

Hahahahahaha feel like I’m in a debate with a child.

Let’s just face the facts Celtic without Rangers are nothing the same as Rangers are without Celtic. You can live in this wee fantasy world where Celtic are this massive Elite club and have more Google searches in Timbuktu then the fine. If it helps you sleep at night so for it.

We all know Celtic aren’t any bigger than Rangers same as Rangers aren’t any bigger than Celtic.

Well, even supposing that we accepted that rangers still exist (debatable) and their 55 titles outstrip Celtic's tally, that means nothing in this conversation...a conversation about which club up there is the largets on a global scale.

It's Celtic. Of course it's Celtic.

Not at all.

Seriously?

Have a wee look at the Nathan Patterson thread. You'll see some of the most precious folk I've ever encountered in my entire life, and I'm an auld count. ?

Yes, seriously.

I can have a look at 100+ threads to see 'precious' folk and this is one of them. Just because there are people easily triggered into petty arguments in other threads does not mean it does not happen here as well. If we are looking at the most easy to trigger then this thread is up there.

I would say, compared to the Nathan Patterson thread, this one is positively laid back. Some of the posts on that thread were absolutely bizarre.

Hello lads it’s been brought to my attention that there’s been a most unsavoury theme of bigotry running in this thread lately. Although we know Everton leans Catholic as a club, I for one welcome all Evertonians from all religions in our royal blue cathedral as one.

I remember back in the 1970s me and and a few mates that met at Spurs matches decided we were going to pick a Scottish team each to follow one particular season. We all basically picked on name alone. One fella had Stenhousemuir, another had Cowdenbeath and I ended up with Partick Thistle.

I think we lost interest after about a fortnight and it never returned.

Beni Baningime out for the season ?

Beni Baningime out for the season ?

I always thought we let him go too soon, he was a decent player what I saw of him.
As a fellow midfielder I think Frank could have improved him and he's the type of midfielder we could do with now.

He’s a wonderful player and a real charismatic character to have in the team. He’ll be sorely missed just as we enter the business end of the season. It doesn’t help that our other midfield dynamo, Cammy Devlin is also sidelined just now (torn hamstring). ?

That’s a shame mate hope he makes a safe, speedy and full recovery

Excellent post, EG

Morelos now in crutches and apparently heading to London for a scran. Think its safe to say he won't be playing on Sunday or at all in the next couple of weeks.
