Yeah. I mean, it would be cool to see Celtic make some deep runs in the CL, but I'm just not sure Rodgers is the guy to help make that happen. But maybe he is! As you say, there's a structural issue going against Celtic, but maybe he's a difference maker. I dunno, as I said, I find it interesting.

OK I see where you are at. Rogers or whoever manages Celtic is not an issue as 101 said he could do it. It's about playing against quality opposition week in week out and the SPL does not offer that in my opinion therefore Celtic having much chance against the big teams in the CL is unlikely.

Unlikely regardless of who the coach is.

Exactly mate.

I read that there is a proposal to increase the football league by one division to go back to 4 ( not sure why EPL doesn't count?).
Renewed speculation of Old Firm joining.

Doubt it too but could see them getting the real prize they want which is to get their Premier League B teams into the Football League in some guise, maybe starting off with one of the cup competitions, bunging the League clubs a few extra quid for their troubles and dressing it up as them doing their bit for the national team. Which is funny because the Premier League clubs could do their bit themselves by having a winter break but they'll never do it because Sky would never let them.

I agree with all the above.

Yep I have no doubt the big clubs would love to have the reserve team playing. It would be great for them if they could but it would do nothing for the smaller clubs and would be a huge disadvantage for many reasons.
It would put an end to the loan system which many clubs benefit from.

Nail on head mate. Greg Dyke is the man who has been pushing this for the last 2 or 3 years and now he's bellyaching as he leaves the FA because nobody will buy his ideas of "reform" which is laughable from the guy who as head of ITV was the original instigator of the breakaway League. There'll be more whinging when Spain or Germany win the Euros and they'll say all the big teams have active B teams over there so we not here too? The reason is English football exists to serve ALL the clubs and the fans and its four division system is actually what makes it unique and special. Let's hope the cunts leave it that way.

I like that quiz once you get used to the format.

Congrats man!

Lame. The lowest score you can get is 1/21.

So much for being a perfect septic.
