The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

There must be a few Scottish football fans in here?

Right now, as an Arab, I am on Cloud 9... we've got a Scottish Cup Final on May 15th against Ross County, and we're breathing down a jittery Celtic's neck for 2nd place in the League.

Dundee United for the Champions League next year?? ;) :rofl: :rofl:

:thumbup:Yeah another Scottish fitba fan........but i'm a jittery Celtic fan.....I thought it was just a rumour Ross County were in the final:huh:

Tell me it's not true:eek:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Not a great time to be a Celtic fan - is there ever is such a time. ;)

Was just looking at our remaining fixtures:

Rangers (H)
Motherwell (A)
Celtic (H)
Rangers (H)
Hearts (A)
Hibs (H)

3 Old Firm games, all at home. Celtic are collapsing, and Rangers will probably have won the League by next week. We have 6 games to make up 5 points of Celtic.

Any Aberdeen fans here? Anyone got anything nice to say about Mark McGoo? :p

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

With all due respect and as a former (many years back) Scottish fitbba fan I must say that after watching it on Setanta, it really is second rate at best. Once exposed to the Premiership and other of Europe's premier leagues the SPL is, to say the least, most disappointing.

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

I do agree. But there are hundreds of thousands, millions of football fans in the UK who are happy to follow and support their local teams in 'lesser' leagues. It's not all about ManUre and Chel$ki.

And in Scotland, it's not all about the Old Firm either, despite their best efforts at hoovering up most of the cash in the Scottish game.

I have been trying to avoid all talk of the scottish cup since the bloody arabs beat Raith yesterday :sneaky:


Dundee supporter for my sins :eek:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Are you OK for a link to watch the final live or do you want me to stick one up for you on the day ??

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Link would be great thanks, if I can't find a pub showing it. Might be difficult seeing that neither of the Bigot Brothers are in the final. :lol:


Edit to add: I really do hope that the Dees get promoted, we need the derbies again. But I can't help feeling that they have blown their best chance in years to win the Div. 1 title.

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Doubtfull it will be on tv here as bbc have the contract for cup games - I will get a veetle link for it the day of the game

may be worth your while downloading veetle beforehand so you are ready to go - the link we have is private so it wont be overloaded (I wont be watching unless I hear utd are 2 down at half time :p )

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Not really sure what happened this year to be honest - 11 points clear to 7 behind :ohmy:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

I am hiding this season :rofl: and am so glad I am into hockey nowadays.

My 15 year old son is still a Dons fan and the peer wee soul would like wee trip home so he can go to a live game - I must encourage him to set his standards a bit higher ;)

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

If their season carrys on the way its going his live game may be at somewhere like Clyde or Forfar next season :ohmy:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Ah, I was wondering about all the obscure posts about Ross County I was getting on facebook. It all becomes clear.

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Rangers are complaining about the post-split fixtures - they've got 3 away games on the trot.

They're 11 points clear of Celtic, whose wheels have come off, and they're qualifying for the Champion's League next year.

Given the disproportionate financial benefits to other clubs from an Old Firm visit, do they think anyone else in Scottish football has a shred of sympathy for their oh-so-dreadful plight?:p

Can hardly type for the tears :rofl:
