StaffsRam Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 No it's where they go to make football big time in America, only to fail ever more miserably than the last "star". 'Tis a tough market to crack, America. What with all your traditional sports to jockey out of the way in order to penetrate the public consciousness. OTOH, I must admit, occasionally I wish we'd gotten football set up in a similar way to Grid Iron - masters of your own game. Each passing year just sees more and more obscure and ridiculous rule/law changes being spewed forth by Uefa/FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamOfKansas Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 'Tis a tough market to crack, America.

OTOH, I must admit, occasionally I wish we'd gotten football set up in a similar way to Grid Iron - masters of your own game. Each passing year just sees more and more obscure and ridiculous rule/law changes being spewed forth by Uefa/FIFA. It is very organized and direct. Which is nice. Though it's amusing that's it's a corporation that practices socialism in the way it runs as a League. Yeah, it'll always be a fringe in and out of spotlight type of the sport at the very best of times. Though I say that, and if you look at the demographics MLS shares a rising position in the young urban adult category(much like MMA) along with it's traditional "soccer mom" market, so who's to say in 50 years how much it could change?

Dimmu Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Neither. Thread should be named "Pearson or Malcom, which would you prefer?" In that case, Celtic. Clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p.shilton Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Celtic won the European Cup with every player born in a 20 mile radius of Glasgow. Can't get much more British than that! Shame all of their fans are Irish though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asanovic Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Rangers and Celtic would be mid table championship teams, the rest of spl would be league 2. Scotts div's 1,2,3 would be the equivalent of the east midlands counties league, and that's not a joke. Celtic and Rangers have, fairly regularly (I think) progressed to advanced stages in European Competitions over the last few years. Not every year, but it has happened. I don't know any teams in the Championship that have done that from memory, or that could. They're not very good, but they'd be competitive in the bottom half of the Prem, in my opinion.
