Fair enough. Just bad choice of words then
And I agree celtic likely to win it, then rangers and then hearts.
But it's not over till its over and hearts have shown ability to bounce back well this season.
Fair enough. Just bad choice of words thenI only meant that they wouldn't do it!
They will play Rangers at home and Celtic awayHearts the major beneficiaries today for sure. When the league enters the ‘split’ it’ll be very interesting to see if they have to travel to both Ibrox and Parkhead.
It's a shame it works like that. Would be nice to see it end with normal fixturesHearts the major beneficiaries today for sure. When the league enters the ‘split’ it’ll be very interesting to see if they have to travel to both Ibrox and Parkhead.
Yeah, it's odd.It's a shame it works like that. Would be nice to see it end with normal fixtures
Yeah, it's odd.
If you're going to split the division do it when everyone has played the teams home and away. Then get everyone in each half to play each other home and away again. Just seems unfair when teams will have played teams a different number of times home and away.
Suppose you can say in a season like this it guarantees some tasty fixtures in the run inIt's a shame it works like that. Would be nice to see it end with normal fixtures
Yeh but I don't like manufactured excitement.Suppose you can say in a season like this it guarantees some tasty fixtures in the run in
The only way they end the split is if the expand the Premiership enough to make it an 18/20 team LeagueYeh but I don't like manufactured excitement.
But still it's been like that for a while now so no point moaning too much.
I mean 4 fixtures H2h can still work with amount of teams they have now?The only way they end the split is if the expand the Premiership enough to make it an 18/20 team League
Will never happen though as their Cash Cow Old Firm games would be cut from 4 to 2 a season (in the League)
As said above though, it's a real money spinner and the other 10 clubs also benefit financially from playing them 3 times a season.Because they're the best two sides, they generally meet in both cups too, so normally 6 times a season. It's too much and surely loses some of that edge when it's every few weeks.
No edge taken off those games. One of the only fixtures that lives up to the hype more often than not.Because they're the best two sides, they generally meet in both cups too, so normally 6 times a season. It's too much and surely loses some of that edge when it's every few weeks.
For their own fans absolutely, I get it - pure hatred. For the average punter (like me), I'll generally watch Man Utd V Liverpool even though I dislike both, whereas this one feels a bit like 'I only watched this a few weeks ago'.No edge taken off those games.

Be great if Motherwell push themselves into this as well
I don't get that feeling personally. Always look forward to them and don't see it as overkill I have to be honestFor their own fans absolutely, I get it - pure hatred.

Would say the same about RaskinHearts with another win yesterday despite expert @David O'Day telling us they wouldn't keep it up. I wonder rif they lose title at death will be try to claim he was right?
Sets up a massive old firm derby. Hopefully a draw or rangers win. Motherwell could overtake them both!
If we wernt in the way to the premier league if say let's get in Braga next year from hearts btw.
Think Raskin would be decent in the premWould say the same about Raskin
Raskin is literally the only Rangers player I would take. I'm talking even as we are now, nevermind as a Prem club. I think Hearts are probably more than the sum of their parts, a team effort. Wouldn't have any of them personally.Would say the same about Raskin
Probably not in the Prem, but I could well see a top end Championship team taking him next season, he’s a class above that Rangers team.Raskin is literally the only Rangers player I would take.

Celtic have 2 or 3 maybe still but the number is ever shrinking and they aren't performing.
Or maybe just to Germany or something but yes he's clear of Rangers atm. Its difficult buying from the Old Firm as they want good money for their players, which is fair enough, but its risky as you're genuinely buying players who are playing against League One/Two level opposition a lot of the time.Probably not in the Prem, but I could well see a top end Championship team taking him next season, he’s a class above that Rangers team.
I think we need to focus on buying experience from the Prem, and Physicality from the likes of Germany and Holland.Or maybe just to Germany or something but yes he's clear of Rangers atm.

Yeh we can defo look at players from relegated clubs for Prem experience. Not the best market value wise, its crazy how much some of these teams want for their relegated players.I think we need to focus on buying experience from the Prem, and Physicality from the likes of Germany and Holland.
Not neccesarily from relegated teams, the Xhaka signing for Sunderland is a good one to show as his Henderson. Overseas experienced the league but came for cheaper than buying straight out of it.Yeh we can defo look at players from relegated clubs for Prem experience.

To keep it on brand with the thread. Prem experience, in a position we will need... Kieran Tierney?Not neccesarily from relegated teams, the Xhaka signing for Sunderland is a good one to show as his Henderson. Overseas experienced the league but came for cheaper than buying straight out of it.
Andy Robertson contract expiring in the summer
Old sick note, no thanks!To keep it on brand with the thread. Prem experience, in a position we will need... Kieran Tierney?
