It is a joke of a league though in fairness

I get it - they can only beat what's in front of them . But apart from die hards and actual Scottish fans who watches the Scottish league from week to week? It's awful.

I stand by the point that I think Celtic and rangers would probably get relegated from the English championship after a season.

It's a shame because some big players did become drawn to Celtic / rangers over the years but that seems to have waned now.

Would they get the 100m+ that promoted clubs get in pre season? Would they get the money for TV rights?

Celtic currently get 3.5 Million for winning the league, 5 million including TV rights.

PL teams get 84 million just from TV rights regardless who you are for just being in the premier league.

Celtic are a massive club with a huge fanbase, they could easily attract players to finish comfortable mid table in the PREMIER LEAGUE with the money to spend. Getting into Europe would be a massive issue though.

Disappointing evening up in Omagh and as an Armagh fan you could see how the game was going early on. You have to take your chances and we didnt.  I agree, that red has been coming for Rian.  Maybe a few reds would do him no harm.  A bit like Forker years ago.

Us Armagh fans like to say we've a great forward line and we just need to let them off the leash.  I'm not so sure about that and the last 3 games has done nothing to convince me. Great forward lines punish chances more often than not. Also, Tyrone seemed to be able to waltz in whenever they wanted in the 1st half and kick a point.  I wouldnt like to see us with larger gaps in the defence to fill as we've left forwards up the pitch.  Man markers we have not (not many counties do).

Excluding Rian O'Neill and Rory Grugan, who else makes this forward line great?

What sort of kicks do some lads get from coming to the Celtic thread (or any thread) to talk about how disinterested they are in it? Honestly don't get it. Is it for the attention?

New manager needed. A dead rat could manage them in fairness. 40 years next year since any team other than Celtic or Rangers has won the Scottish league. It's dead. Finished.

Some climbdown for Spurs and Levy if this is the managerial pool they are fishing in now.

Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte.... Postecoglou

He'll need to be if he takes the Spurs job. He'll have more than one team to compete against.

The most pointless league ever. Celtic to good for it but shite in Europe. Surely fans can't be happy with that?

Quote from: trailer on May 09, 2023, 10:03:16 AM
The idea that this is even a competitive league is ridiculous. What is the point in even celebrating these league titles?

You don't understand the calibre of loser you are dealing with here...

He has very little to be at.

It wasn't to long ago Armagh fans were comparing Conor Turbitt to David Clifford...

Delusion at its finest.

Padraig Mcnulty scoring for Dungannon tonight. What's the story with him this year? Injury ruling him out of contention?

I'd say his lacklustre skill set is ruling him out of contention more than anything.

What rule change d'ye want?
You can't pass the ball to a team mate?

It was remarkable to even have the balls to attempt that 6 minutes passage of play against Dublin in Croke Park.  A more than credible draw (could have should have won) is a big improvement from the last time Roscommon played Dublin in the championship, which was 4 years and 18 point defeat.  A selection of the comments after that match including your own.

Roscommon though are probably perfect opponents to allow Dublin show their stuff.


Quote from: GalwayBayBoy on July 20, 2019, 08:11:04 PM
They'll have to take ALL the games out of Croke Park at this rate. Too many matches being played in funereal atmospheres. Doesn't make for an attractive product.

Quote from: BennyHarp on July 20, 2019, 08:41:55 PM
Dublin are simply a brilliant football team regardless of all the advantages they may or may not have. But feck me their games are incredibly boring to watch.

Quote from: Rossfan on July 21, 2019, 12:52:19 AM
Just home from this away game.
Weary, depressed, disappointed for the lads but it was amateur boys against professional men.
Hard to know where we go from here, how many lads will have the appetite to slog it out over the winter again.


Quote from: From the Bunker on July 21, 2019, 04:26:37 PM
how can you sell a game to players where you are telling them to do their best and keep the score down? It's depressing.


But we need a rule change now because little old Roscommon found a way to be competitive against the mighty Dubs?

An embarrassing post.

I know it's awful for the parents but you'd have to question the amount of money that's been spent on this search over the years.

A farce.
