Even then, PSG's dominance has been for four years, it's been over 30 years since a non-old firm team has won the scottish league.

We are no more in a political union with Ireland than we are with France.
08-30-2016 , 01:38 PM
I couldn't think of a Northern Ireland team. Maybe Belfest FC is a team

Whether it's England or the Atlantic league change is coming.

We've got clubs from Wales and NI playing in a Scottish competition this year. The Balkans clubs are talking about uniting their leagues and the Dutch/Belgium women already play cross border competitions.

The Scotch just voted to stay with us, despite Mary Doll's rosy picture of post-independence Scotland would suggest we have some redeeming features.

Also, you don't need to be liked to be part of a political union. Look at the EU.

Done this more than a few times without incident. Most intimidated at a football ground/surrounding area for me would be at Old Trafford (bunch of ****s). Not even close anywhere else (excluding the riots at Cliftonville games).

political union isnt make or break but imo it helps the celtic & rangers argument that we're in the same country. some ppl would reasonably disagree that an irish team in the blitwaap would be appropriate but i'd have it. and before you ask, no i still wouldn't have steua bucharest

BAIDS nearly every time the monkeys go down the road they wreck the place and not much more than 2/3 years ago they had a summer friendly cancelled on the advice of the police.

I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy though I could make a special exception for your lot.

And they haven't a pot to piss in.

Letting Celtic and Rangers in but not smaller Scottish clubs seems arbitrary at best and kind of defeats the purpose of having a pyramid at all
08-30-2016 , 02:03 PM
I think it'd be tough on all the Steaua fans having to fly all that way for home games anyway
08-30-2016 , 02:04 PM
Take that **** to the spurs forum.

Should be playing v Boca Juniors regularly, obv.
08-30-2016 , 02:21 PM
an european super league would be bad for a number of reasons, but the british league adding one or two of psg and/or barca, when they vote their way out of spain, could be pretty good.

I would imagine that a night out in Glasgow after a game with the OF as an Englishman might be a tad different.

Didn't you have issues at OT because you started cheering a Celtic/Liverpool goal when you were in the Stretford end?

You predict wrong. I've been there plenty of times over the years.
It's probably such a hole because Edinburgh ****s all over it.

Aside from Larsson, name one of those 'quality' players of which you speak. Obviously, the English players of the late 80/early 90s at Rangers don't count as England was banned from Europe at the time.
