    That's fair, but he was just one example. The point wasn't really about the talent at Celtic but rather through the SPL and lower divisions as a whole. I do not believe the standard of quality behind Celtic (and to some degree a few other teams) is at all comparable to the English League One/Two. 

    This is the issue, it's never a fair comparison to compare the Scottish game to the English game, we've got a tenth of the population, we've got most of that population who are football fans supporting one of two teams, we've got a very central based population so people are attracted to the big city teams and we've got the worst tv deal in Europe.  We can't compare ourselves to teams like Coventry and Luton in league 2 who again have bigger populations than our second best team and likely have a better tv deal.  The issue with the Scottish game is that we're always comparing ourselves to England, which is ridiculous as we're nowhere near that.  We should be comparing ourselves with nations with a relative population to ours and from that we can look at some stats and see where we're ranking favourably and what we can be doing better.

    Always being compared to the English game is only going to hold the Scottish game back.

    Reading some of these new mafia games have been fun. I wish I could actually play but I think I take shit too personally sometimes. Some good games coming up though it appears.

    You should still play! It's all just fun, although I can understand how it might get a bit to you if your just getting it constantly. But in the end it's just a game on an internet forum, if you're keen then get back into it. Seems we're always looking for good active players.

    Might two football channels be one for domestic and one for European? Don't know where that'd leave the UCL like, but I'd definitely be interested in having just football and wherever the wrestling ends up.

    Have they announced the price changes?

    UCL is on BT.  Would presume the one channel would be for English football, the other for the rest (Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, Scottish and MLS).  Think that's all they've got in terms of leagues outside of England.  The Scottish rights will likely go exclusively to BT as well in the near future.
