Didn't know you were a Dundee FC supporter Sore Arse
 First it was Liverpool, then it was Hamilton, then you had the sectarian Red hand of Ulster as your avator. So happy that you find time to waste your time. Knock yourself out because nobody here pays a blind bit of notice of anything you post anyhow

Sadly Ralkin we got knocked out of the Betfred Cup last night by our near neighbours Dundee however it must be said just what a wonderful advert the game was for Scottish football and football in general. So many times and particular in countries such as Italy and Germany the emphasis is very much on tactics which is a very patient and strategic brand of football which for the neutral with no affinity for either team it can be a bit like watching a game of chess.
Last nights Dundee derby was anything but, it had pace, blood, guts and thunder. The tackles were rough and the match was played at breakneck speed. The reason Scottish teams used to do so well in Europe was that the European teams just couldn't handle the way we played. They aren't used to constant waves of attacks with barely a second to draw breath. All in all last nights game was a great match for the neutrals. Us Scots did afterall invent the beautiful game so take note Juventus and co!  Naturally I am disappointed but not too disheartened as winning the league is the most important thing for my team this season and anything we achieve in the cup is very much a bonus. I would rather lose a cup tie than lose 3 points in a league match. To answer your question as to why Rangers are referred to as sevco these days. Back in 2012 when the club went bust and subsequently liquidated the company that bought the old Rangers over was called sevco. Hence the reason all opposition fans always taunt the Rangers fans by singing you're no Rangers anymore and they always bite. The huns are very easy to wind up

Yeah, you're right about Sevco being all for the Queen and the Union and yet didn't pay their taxes. Shameful! By the way, Why do you call them sevco? As for Celtic, I do have plenty of experiences and examples of their fans behaving quite well in Scotland, and in Europe apart from the odd few morons who start chanting their vicious and pernicious IRA songs and glorifying bombing and violence. I'm watching your team the Tangerines playing your rivals Dundee at the moment, Good luck!

In an ideal world Ralkin123 we also want Celtic to win fuck all too, however realistically I just cannot see past them not winning the league. They have the best squad and will most likely win the league once again by an absolute country mile. Strangely as much as I hate there team sweeping the rest aside I don't really have any real beef with their supporters because in general they don't tend to house the same number of absolute morans that sevco do. I can tolerate their fans as to say. Wouldn't it be great if Rangers were relegated or better than that liquidated or found out again for cheating and punted all the way down again to Scotlands lowest Division oh how I'd laugh if any of these scenarios were to come true Funny how a team that is all for the Queen forgot one very important act and that was to pay tax to her majesty

Aberdeen to win the Scottish Premiership Rallkin123, I sincerely hope that you are correct. It would be fantastic for Scottish football if Celtics monopoly could be broken, as for sevco, I hope they have another barren season winning he haw...........afterall they did get knocked out of Europe by a pub team so a good start for them and great for the rest of Europe that they don't have to put up with there supporters singing all their sectarian bile
All the best to Liverpool, another sleeping giant so if they could win the English Premier league then this too would be very refreshing, its been a long long time since Liverpool won it as you have to go back to season 1989/90 when Kenny Dalglish was player manager the last time this became a reality. Cheers for backing Dundee United to win the 2nd Tier

This a great idea to predict other champions of their respective leagues, Scottishbloke. Here are are my predictions:
English Premiership-Liverpool(YNWA) Scottish Premiership-Aberdeen Scottish Championship-Dundee United La liga-Barcelona(Mes Que un Club) Serie A-Juventus(Bellissimo) Bundesliga-Borussia Dortmund La Ligue-Olympique Lyonnaise Portugal-Sporting Lisbon Eredivisie-Ajax I hope you and all the other lads on this forum playing the predictor game for this season are well and in good spirits

Only predict the leagues you want to mate
The only thing you need to know about the Scottish Championship is that the football is brutal, physical and route 1. Not many teams will actually get the ball down on the surface and play silky soccer as the teams in that division just don't let you play football the way it should be played. The big name team and the big scalp will obviously be my team Dundee United as we are the bookies favourites for the league and every team that plays us will automatically raise their game, in particular Brechin City who have a dingy wee ground and will be in awe of our stadium when they come to Tannadice Our team on paper should win the division by a country mile. The English leagues are a bit more difficult to predict as you only need to look at Leicester City 2 seasons ago. The spanish league as far as I concerned is a 2 horse race between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Just a bit of fun mate, pre season is always a good time to make wild predictions. |

It is early to make a prediction before the transfer is complete. I read of news about Gareth Bale to return to Tottenham; if this happens it can mean they will be a favorite. I am not the expert of the Scottish Championship. Also who can Barcelona buy when they have so much money for the sale of Neymar? SOme big stars can move before August.

If you don't mind me saying gents. This Thread is lacking somewhat so why not mix it up slightly with an interactive prediction for the season ahead. These are my league winners predictions. Who's next to add to this. No prizes up for grabs just something which I like to commonly refer to as fun
English Premier League - Manchester United English Championship - Leeds United Scottish Premiership - Celtic Scottish Championship - Dundee United Serie A - Juventus La Liga - Barcelona Edit - On Wednesday night BT Sports will be showing the Dundee Derby in the 2nd round of the Betfred Cup. Incase our European cousins are unaware of the importance of this in Scotland here is a preview of what to expect. |
