As a Clevelander, fuck you too. We already have enough shit to deal with, we don’t need the guy who ducked his head in the bucket of piss to come back out in public.

I obviously can’t speak for Celtic leadership or the majority of the fanbase, but I’d have to say yes on both counts. Even being in the bottom tier of EPL revenue is more cash coming in than they can staying in Scotland and making the CL group stage. And the Scottish league is only going in the wrong direction.

Cardiff joined the FA in 1910, before Swansea even existed, and Swansea joined in 1921. There’s no reason to believe that the FA would require both or none. Taking two teams also requires pissing off twice as many smaller clubs who won’t get promoted.

Hubris on who’s part? Certainly not the Scottish teams.

Celtic would leave those cheating sycophants in a heartbeat. It would be a shame if it has to be England to finally be rid of them. Get that North European Super League going.

This is a chicken or egg thing. While certainly not being the big fish, Scottish soccer certainly wasn’t minnows until getting royally screwed over by the TV deals in the UK.

Your selective memory is . . . interesting. You were the one who started with the lecturing. I made a half-assed jab at your logic regarding paying for cable. You then went on a rant about why you are a special flower who deserves to steal cable.

Wow! Congratulations on your Journalism degree! I’m so happy for you! Meanwhile, you still can’t get past the ad hominem attacks, which, yeah, I guess does make me the one who needs to prioritize anger better.

Only after a rash of injuries. He wasn’t called up for any qualifiers, and didn’t come close to seeing the field at the World Cup. He’s still technically the 24th man on a squad that can only include 23.

Congratulations on not being able to come up with anything more than ad hominem attacks. As a result, I am actually the one who has changed my ways and now advocate stealing whatever you want, whenever you want it, as long as the other person has more than you, because screw them, right?

Ciman only made the team because they are having serious injury problems. It’s going to take something extreme for him to actually see the field. Ciman didn’t see the field at the World Cup, and he wasn’t called up for any Euro qualifying matches. He is a far cry from the actual talent that the Italian squad will be…

So you use cable, and when you disagree on what it’s worth, that means you should get it for free? I get it, cable prices suck. But here’s how things work in grown up world - you pay for the things you want, and if you don’t want to pay that much, then you don’t get it. I also get it, it’s easy to steal cable, and it…

So you don’t pay for what you like, you just steal it. Cool story bro.

Who is this “Rangers”? I know a Sevco, though.
