I've not argued any such thing.
To claim Scottish football would survive without Celtic or Rangers is ludicrous.
I doubt the attendance of every other game in the SPL matches half of what Celtic and Rangers bring in on a game which can range from 40-60 thousand.
Celtic had 2 stands full midweek for a game away to St Johnstone. You realise how terrible Scottish support is when a team from Paisley, which is only 10 miles done the road bring 400 fans to Glasgow to play Celtic.
The only essays I've written are to do with the corruption in the SFA. Any sensible person can see these decisions defy logic.
Ayr United are a pathetic excuse for a club.

Yeah try again. unlike you i don't bite easily.
It's down the road by the way i know the education system for Celtic fans is hard to fathom but there is a major difference between Done the Road (as in i have finished working on the road) and Down the Road (as in i live down the Road).

There's a major difference between a typo and being ill-educated.
You usually start sentences with a capital letter btw. So if your going to be pedantic over something at least get what you're saying right. I notice you've edited your post 5 minutes after posting.
Edited to add, you also use capitals when using "i" on it's own.

I don't know how you can read the statements from a top QC and say there is something wrong when the only person to serve a ban from a game in which 3 Rangers were sent off etc is the Celtic manager. Something isn't right there. You know it, and if the SFA have the audacity to take Paul McBride to court, and obviously every newspaper and person who repeat his so called "defamation" then they'll be bankrupt.

The only essays I've written are to do with the corruption in the SFA. Any sensible person can see these decisions defy logic. Ayr United are a pathetic excuse for a club. What makes them a pathetic excuse for a club? Because they're not at the top of the league? Does that apply to every team not at the top of the league in every country? Because they don't have the money or the players resulting from that money? Hardly the fault of the club. I think most non premiership sides in England and Scotland achieve more by turning over enough to carry on existing than big clubs with their disproportionate income. Because they don't have the support? If a team has 5 fans who turn up week in week out and enjoy supporting the club, the club is doing it's job. You're a passionate Celtic fan, that's fine. Celtic and Rangers bringing money into the Scottish game of course is vital to the running of the game, but that's not a positive thing. It certainly doesn't make them more important in pure footballing terms. If teams like Ayr didn't exist, there wouldn't be a league structure for Celtic to sit on top of. We're on a wrestling forum, let's use a wrestling analogy. There is a reason the main eventers in all big companies past and present buy the drinks for the lower card wrestlers and why everybody shakes hands at a show. It's acknowledging that without the lower card guys, the main eventers wouldn't have a show to main event. Celtic and it's fans (and I'm sure the majority of them when it comes down to it are) should be proud of and supportive of the rest of the Scottish league. Scottish football is in a rut and struggling at the moment and the smaller teams continuing to exist and in in their own small ways prosper at times with promotions etc is something that should be endorsed by the bigger clubs. If every team 'smaller' than Celtic in Scotland closed tomorrow, I don't think Celtic would be doing well out of it.

If every team 'smaller' than Celtic in Scotland closed tomorrow, I don't think Celtic would be doing well out of it. Hatred probably steams from fact that we refused a take over from David Murray so he went and bought Rangers instead and helped fund the 9 in a row Dynasty that ruled early part of his life. I know a few Celtic fans who still blame us for "allowing" Rangers to become bigger than what they were in the 80's. . Edit: Whatever though all things to do with old firm is just like background noise to me now. I'm used to views that everything do with Scottish football doesn't leave Glasgow. It's like the WWE if it happens somewhere else it didn't really happen.
