I mean Wigan is a separate country with it's own language an' everything and they got in, so don't see why the "others" cant have a go. Starting in say league 2 and go from there, maybe even an invitational show match or 2 for "charidy" meanwhile.


The only area of difficulty maybe that the after match live chat on Sky " Och a weell ya see....Nooooo ehhh I" may need subtitles. Though scouser Jamie Carrick is on enough & that requires the sound up with full concentration but we get through that " ehhhm.. like" OK.



Maybe....perhaps it could work.

They have reached their full potential.. that's it really. Why should they have their potential changed?

We achieved our full potential Ruffers - it does not get any higher or better than this.

I support Celtic because on the day I was born in September 1967 , I asked my Dad - "which team is the best in Europe Dad?" - and he said - "Glasgow Celtic son - they beat the mighty Inter Milan, they played them off the park. A great victory for British football".

Yes very good Declan. I have never wished I was Scottish, but I'm beginning to come to terms with the fact that I am likely to stay in England. Its been 20 years now and my kids appear to be English, my wife is English and I even speak the language (although Ladymuck has questioned this).

Celtic as any supporter knows has its roots in the Irish community so its the most Irish team this side of the water and thats part of the reason I support them, nothing to do with Scotland or wishing I was Scottish. Although I don't mind the Scots at all.

No offence intended Mick but having a soft spot for a team this side of the water is partially because we aren't that side of the water.If I was there I'd probably go back to watching Longford Town if it didn't clash with Longford RFC playing. Don Givens brother used to play for Da Town ya know.Mind you I'd still be a ManU fan.


edited to take out the sectarian bo**ix

Both Rangers and Celtic would struggle to stay in the Premiership just now. At the end of the day it all comes down to money... I think the team relegated from the Prem gets about 30million TV money? Rangers and Celtic get about 2-3million a year.

If we had that sort of money, then we'd compete. It would not be difficult for both to attract big names... Rangers and Celtic are 2 huge, huge clubs. I think I'm right in saying only 3, maybe 4 teams in the EPL get higher attendances than Rangers and Celtic.


I can't see it being an automatic route into the premiership... turkeys don't vote for Christmas... can you see teams saying they'd let R&C in at their own expense? No idea how it will happen, but I can see them both in an English league at some point...

Also, Scottish football wouldn't die, there is the argument it would become better and have a more competitive league allowing the other teams to win and flourish.



p.s Declan - why the need for the sectarian bollox?

Rangers or Celtic in the ENGLISH Premier league? The answer is in the title. And if so, at whose expense? Who would miss out on promotion or be dropped as a result of such a ludicrous scenario. Leave them where they are. I wonder if the roles where reversed ther would be the same sort of clamour for ENGLISH teams to join the SCOTTISH prem league.

Yes are they are well spotted, 2 wrongs don't make a right. Tell you what, let's have German, French or Italian clubs in the prem, why not. After all away days to some French sides will be just as far or even closer than going to Scotland. What a great idea. See if you can sell it to the powers that be.

I think it's only a matter of time before that happens, I've been expecting something like this for years. Champs League is more or less such a league anyway.

Maybe a wee bit over the top - aren't we all part of Britain????


I often thought it might be a good idea to ditch both league cups in England and Scotland (do they have a minor cup in Wales?) and play a British League Cup???

Swansea and Cardiff are in the 'English' league because when they joined up it was the "Football League of England & Wales" - similarly when the First Division was renamed the Premiership back in the early nineties should likes of Spurs & West Ham have been kicked out? ;-)

I stayed in the same house as Gary in final year of University at Jordanstown. Have not seen him since, apart from watching him on TV and wondering how the lucky bugger managed it. Always had a suspicion he was after my girlfriend, so didn't quite trust him. Get the impression that you might not trust yourself with him either Monica?....

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
