  1. Trust me I KNOW how big Celtic are and Rangers also. I mean no dis respect when I say they are not as big as Liverpool. They just are not. The have a massive history ( I should know, coming from Ireland you can effectively say every one has Celtic as their "second" club. The EPL is corrupt, FACT! But so are the Spanish and Italian leagues and have been for years. The TV/Media age has taken the EPL to a dizzy-ing height and only now with the fair play rules coming in will it hopefully take it down a notch. Now, saying that Celtic and Rangers still play in the Scottish league, just look at the table for crying out loud. It's a two horse race EVERY year up there. The league is not as good quality wise and has not been for years. Hence the money is NOT going there. Look at the FAI, Shamrock Rovers, Bohemians, etc. Same effectively. The EPL is attractive, has the star players and is riding the train until it buckles. Celtic and Rangers going into the EPL will effectively kill off Scottish football and should not happen. It is only for money any way!
  2. I think there will be a bigger draw if Liverpool play someone like Real Madrid. However, the support for Celtic is big here, especially from the Irish crowd so it would be good to see it. Now that NESV own LFC I will be hoping they take the available NESN channel and use it. Showing games and doing a weekly or daily spot on the club. Also, there maybe an American pre-season tour in the future!!! Fingers crossed.
  3. If Liverpool play the ressies you MIGHT have a chance......
  4. You are DREAMING if you think Liverpool would not sell out Fenway! DREAMING! Not ALL teams are in debt either mate. So are you a Liverpool fan or....just Celtic?
  5. "as pointed out before could any other british club sell out fenway?" Liverpool, Man Utd., Chelsea, definitely! Easily Liverpool! FACT! It is also a novelty game at Fenway that I know a few of my mates from Boston went to because it was thought it may not be seen again.......! Celtic will NEVER be atop club in Europe ever again mate. With the likes of their "top players" like McGeady leaving to go to Moscow, that tells you something of their quality. SKy (Murdoch) bought the rights so he could sell them on and make money. It needs a governing body like the MLB/NFL/NHL over here to OWN ALL rights....... That will never happen coz UEFA and FIFA are ripe with corruption.
  6. Not really taht funny mentioning NEVERTON to be honest...... The fact that Scottish football is well below par EVEN before the Premier League..... Look back in history mate at the Scottish teams in the European Cup.....the CL. It is NOT impressive. Also, I doubt that last year was a once off for Inter or Bayern. Scottish football is not well run nor ever has been. They know it and so do others. The quality is not there and the prem has it, if you promote it right you will get more money which will get more top players which will create more.......
  7. The Scottish Prem league is not on a par with other teams in Europe mate. Celtic and Rangers have dominated for YEARS. The quality in Scotland is on a par with maybe the 3rd division or the championship. The draw of Benfica(?) and Celtic at Fenway had a lot to do with the "Irish" connection. The "top 7" of Europe eh? How come Bayern Munich were in the final this past May and an Italian team are CL champs? Germany has the right idea on how to run clubs yet it is not making money as a profit to promote it as entertaining.... The Spanish league is a victim of corruption and money from TV rights not going to the rest of the clubs. It should be shared between the teams not the top ones. The prem is a marketing dream and creates a massive income for the clubs in it. Wigan, Bolton, Birmingham etc will do whatever they have to do to remain in this cash cow. Taht is the way it has gone. I guess we differ in opinions though.
  8. The ONLY thing with sense here (no offence) is the last line and the debt of the top clubs. I reckon the top clubs will have to be sold to curb their debt. The 'Sky Sports League' is far from just in England with Sky subscribers mate. Do a google search and find out the TV rights .....or in fact let me help you out..... http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/premier-league-nets-16314bn-tv-rights-bonanza-1925462.html If the Prem is less superior to the Spanish league why for over the past 5 years have teams from England been in the last 4 of the CL? Spain has two massive teams, Barca and Real. They own their own TV rights and the rest of the league is suffering due to it. They are also in debt too. I would rather watch a Villa vs. Spurs game than sit and watch a Villareal Vs Zaragosa game or Lecce Vs. Catania game from Italy........any internationals on those teams who excite? The Prem league attracts the best managers because of the talent there. Ajax....haha LONG gone as a European power house!
  9. Me LIKEY LIKEY!!!!
  10. Not about Keegan mate, just you with the "Ladies".......! The Charmer you are. Right now I want to fast forward to next Friday. Hopefully this will be sorted!!!!
  11. Seriously, Keegan as manager? Sorry, but nah, not for me. Great player for sure, but he is not the leadership we need to take us forward. I would go for Hiddink if anyone to be honest. Redguard you are a charmer mate!
  12. I actually did not want Kenny back while the club had these two f***-nuts in office. Really, I grew up watching The King play and then later manage my club, memories of a great. My sporting Idol. To have to deal with those two pricks would have tarnished his reputation no matter what the fans thought. There are a new generation out there. With new owners........maybe. I do like Hiddink though, he took Chelsea by the balls and is a fantastic coach. Klinsman, NO WAY, sorry. Not too sure on who else. But I know, Roy is out of his depth and is not a tactical coach. We saw that in Utrecht and on Sunday last.
