    I usually get to see Aberdeen a couple of times a season and, certainly since we have been out of the Premiership, they look like they would wallop us. A couple of mates who come down to see us play invariably say the same as politely as possible. Pub league is patronising in the extreme however far ahead Celtic might be.

    I was at Rangers v Partick Thistle yesterday and I'm fairly confident Charlton would beat either of them.

  • Came back just to say WOW! again. What an achievement...

    Aberdeen currently the 2nd best side, last season had an average annual wage of 134k per player.

    Celtics was 717k.

    Over 5 times the budget of the 2nd place side.

    In comparison to Celtic's 717k, the entire rest of the league combined was 926k.

    The constant Champions League appearances, regardless of the results, just put them financially miles ahead.

    And they now have a decent manager.
  • Yeah to be fair Rodger's has made the difference. Just wonder how long he'll stay before he gets bored and wants to get back to the premier league.

    Hopefully in less than 3 seasons!

    Put Chelsea in Div. 2 for two years and they would be unbeaten in 92 games. Scottish football is Shit.

    Another quality Champions League performance tonight. Thought there would be a hatful of goals after Dembele scored in the first minute. The game didn't fail to deliver.

    Shows what a pub League it is. And they think they can play in the Prem.

    Aren't Kilmarnock, Josh Magennis' old team, midtable in the Scottish Premier League?

    If I'm right then most teams are probably our level or thereabouts.

    I think it's a shame they officially have that record now.

    They held the record 62 games before they broke it recently for over 100 years.

    Sure, maybe I mis-phrased it - I think it's a shame they have the record as it currently stands. I don't know what Scottish football was like 100 years ago, but I'd like to think it was a worthy record, at least compared to this one.

    Scotch is a drink. Think you mean Scot's.
  • Talking of drinks lots of 7 up and Irish Wine downed in Paris last night.

    Celtic aside the Scottish premier league is no better than league one in England.

    Even if Celtic go 100 games unbeaten in Scotland last night just reinforces how shit their league is.

    We know. Just like saying Scotch as it normally gets a rise.

    My mate mad jock stews over it but he's mad of course!

    Perhaps the Gooners could go and play in Scotland after their great displays against Bayern Munich last season!

    BM didn't have a £500M forward line to be fair.

    Soixante neuf indeed certainly ended that run in style :open_mouth:

    Beat the record held for 100 years by you know who.

    It actually didn't as Scottish football is deemed 'not real football' and thus any records set or apparently broken up there, don't count.
  • Won a £3.50 bet that they wouldn't go unbeaten this season. That's recovered the hurt from the cricket.

    Shame they lost, I was looking forward to them in a head to head with Huddersfield for the Champions of Champions play-off.
