10 in a row

[Monts]

What would be the bigger achievement;

Celtic winning 10 titles in a row, or someone stopping them winning 10 titles in a row?

Stopping them

Stopping them

I hope that was intended as a joke.

[1van Sprou7e]

Someone other than rangers stopping them would definitely be the biggest achievement. But 10 in a row would be a much bigger achievement than rangers winning it in the next two years

4 of their 8 titles were won without their ugly sister in the league. So I would say stopping them winning 10 would be the bigger achievement.

[Jones28]

A really small dirty part of my brain wants them not to do it, but that would in all likelihood mean the Huns winning it.

It's a **** scenario either way you look at it.

[MWHIBBIES]

Kilmarnock finishing 3rd would be a bigger achievement than 10 in a row for Celtic

It’s not an achievement. It would be if we played on a level playing field, but we dont.

[The 90+2]

Stopping it would be massive.

Why?

Any club winning the league title ten seasons on the trot is a massive achievement, much more so than winning it once.

When the club in question dwarfs the rest then no, it’s not.

Wonder how many titles Celtic or the Rangers would win if we all joined a UK league?
I’ll start with my guess.
In the next 100 years none of them would win any.

If we'd joined an all-UK league at the same time all the TV money came pumping in (early 90s?), Celtic/Rangers would probably have won at least a title each by now and us, the Hertz and Aberdeen would be lower PL/upper Championship nae bother.

The end.

Tell that to Leeds Sheff Weds and Notts Forest supporters. It’s the luck of the draw and unless you’re mega rich then you could end up a Sunderland charlton or Portsmouth. Even Bradford got 20k plus in the epl before the serious money came in and look at them and Blackpool now

Yip would really miss those clashes with the Faroe teams every six to ten years

Fair point. We can dream of that though on our way back from travelling 500 miles on the coach to see us get pumped off Plymouth in a match to stay in British League 1.

Bournemouth seem to be doing reasonably well for a team with a 12,000 stadium. Swansea have a stadium very similar in capacity to Easter Road and have had a decent run in the EPL including one European campaign. There are plenty of well run clubs that are probably smaller than Hibs who have survived and prospered in the EPL including Burnley, Watford and (in the past) Fulham.

Do you think that Hibs are a smaller club than Swansea or Bournemouth?

I don't know what is more depressing: Being in a League where one team wins ten-in-a-row or one where two teams have dominated for 36 years?

[Carheenlea]

Rangers or Celtic winning the league is the same thing to me really. Had 34 years of it and there are no signs that anything will change that any time soon.

European football and British league's are both of little or no interest to me.
When we played in Europe in the 70's and 80's we genuinely thought we had a chance of taking a couple of big scalps. Realistically we have very little chance now of ever making the group stages and if we did it would probably result in six losses and a really poor domestic league campaign.

As you point out regular travel to England and Wales would be just too much and many League two teams would have similar budgets to ours and it is possible we could drop down the leagues.

If an EPL game is on tv and St Mirren v Hamilton is on i tend to watch the Scottish game, quite happy where we are.

It would to me, I'd far rather play the odd tie against some random European side I've never heard of (and get beat) every few years than play the lower league sides in England. **** that.

Agreed.

Winning ten in a row only proves a lack of competition in the league.

[Waxy]

We have to win a marathon now just to make the group stages of the Europa. While the Priveliged teams start there. Footballs all beginning to go a bit panto.

Agreed does anyone want to list the players Celtic and Rangers have taken from other Scottish teams to ensure there was little to no competition in those 34 years.

Do you think competition would be better if there was a ban on buying players from the same league?

Scottish Football is a mess.

If you can’t see it you are delusional.

SFA - not fit for purpose - disband it and start a fresh. Leadership non existent / refs awful / national stadium farce.

Old Firm - league dominance / sectarian elements - needs sorted and a league with only 2 teams winning it will over time loose interest from other fans.

Scottish mens National Team - no Manager - average players - not qualified for a tournament since 1998 and won’t anytime soon.

Funds - lack of funds - awful TV deals. Women’s league in England getting more than Scottish League.

League structure - 12 teams and split is a farce. Larger league and play each other home and away only. Scrap the minimum x3 / x4 a season or even more games.

Lower league structure - farce teams like Bonnyrigg aren’t promoted / helped to improve structure - remember the 10,000 seater rule they had !

This country will never change till the start again with the national governing body. Disband the SFA as no one trusts it.

Stopping them unless its the huns. Then it would be a minor achievement bad not an earth shattering one.
