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:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

: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.

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

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

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Can hardly type for the tears :rofl:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Hibs fan here:thumbsup:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Rats!

Celtic have to thank their teenage defender for scoring 2 goals and coming back from behind to beat Motherwell!

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Come on the Tic:thumbsup:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Sorry Jings - I had a veetle link for this evenings Rangers Utd game but ended up getting busy at work abd forgot to post it :unsure:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

No probs, I was at work anyway, so had to settle for the BBC text updates. Sounds like 0-0 was a fair result, but a stupid sending off for our Mr Kovacevic.

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

I should have a link for the Celtic Hibs game

Man u Man City game is here ---> http://veetle.com/view/index.html#4bc36595059b2

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Any thoughts on SPL changing to a league revenue sharing formula? It's a small league with only two well financed teams and maybe this would be an answer...I was curious as to what footie fans thought of this.

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Cant see the Old Firm agreeing to that to be honest - would be good for the rest of the teams though

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Nice idea, but no chance of getting the Bigot Bros to take their hands out of the cookie jar!

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

I feel I need to stick up for the "bigot bros".
It's well documented the sectarian element among old firm supporters, (and dont forget just about every ground in Scotland)...but what's forgotten is the vast majority of fans are decent fans who enjoy their football and rivalry...just like any other cities with two big clubs.
It's hardly Celtic and Rangers fault, the other clubs dont attract bigger crowds.
The old firm are there for the taking...it's up to other clubs to take advantage of this...there's never been a better time.Most clubs raise their game against the old firm.....why not do that every week, be less negative and have a go.
Look at Hearts under Burley a few seasons ago.
I would like nothing better than someone else to win the league:eek:....and i'm a Celtic fan:eek:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

I hear you, of course, about the majority of OF fans being (nearly ;)) normal people. I do get fed up with the glory-hunting aspects of some supporters. When i were a lad, I always found it upsetting to see Celtic & Rangers supporters buses leaving for Glasgow from Dundee, and then to have classmates turning up to Dens or Tannadice only to go the the 'away' end.

But that's by-the-by. The bigger problem for Scottish football is that the OF one the one hand bemoan the lack of decent opposition on a weekly basis, but then on the other, they immediately buy up the other SPL team's decent players and keep them on the bench.

Also, despite being far and away the richest clubs in Scotland, they then collude and do despicable things like suddenly imposing a 5% fee from the home clubs for the away tickets sold to Old Firm fans!!

Anyway, back to today, I think that Celtic's win over Hibs makes it very difficult for United to overhaul them now.

Will Lennon be in the green hot-seat next year, d'you think?

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

The greatest fans in the world welcome their team bus back after the Ross game :rofl:

Jings - Are you wanting a link for the Arabs game in half an hour ??

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

That would be great, thanks!

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Should be up in 5 mins or so trying to dig up a veetle link as well as a media player link

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

This one isnt bad - struggling with an HD veetle link

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Brilliant, thanks nldfc!

Fir Park looks like a tattie field - and directly resulted in United's goal when the 'Well goalie slipped!

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

That pitch has been terrible for about 3 years now - they have been warned by the sfa to get it sorted out twice this season

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Sorry Jings - cant get a veetle stream :unsure: Out of our 3 streamers 2 have gone out and the other is streaming Villa - I didnt get my request in early enough :D

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

No I dont think lennon will be the manager.....i'd like to see Willie McStay, but who knows with Celtic:blink:
I was reading something the other day, i think on the daily Record's website that an SPL club is expected to fold....anyone know anything????
For anyone interested, you can download the Monday nights Sportscene from uknova.com, usually on the Tuesday.

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

There were rumours that Killie were in deep financial cack - dont know how reliable they were though

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Its a long shot but there are links available for QOS v Ross County this evening if anyones in the slightest bit interested :rofl:

Re: The Scottish Fitba' Thread
 

Well, that's the end of Dundee's bid for promotion to the SPL.

I'm sorry for all Dee fans, even as an Arab I was looking forward to derbies again. What a disastrous finish to a season that started so well.

Congrats to Inverness CT.
