calscot 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 As we all know cal, playing in the '' best league in the world '' and earning big money is the attraction Not sure if you're being serious or not but get gubbed while playing in the best league in the world just seems like an idyll boast. Money-wise is a different story but I think Rangers will probably compete with the lower half of the EPL, especially post-relegation. I still question this "best league in the world" status. England have only just topped the UEFA rankings and it's obviously ONLY to do with money. There are still a lot of very dull teams and games. I actually now kind of see it as a "Mickey Mouse" league where everything is artificial like Disneyland. Glitzy, glamorous, very exciting for some, but in all essence, completely fake. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely joking, I am in agreement with you. Why some players,{Cousin}, would rather get humped most weeks instead of playing european football every season is purely down to money 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yep, you are :devil: Seriously though, I know what you are saying - I still play both 5's and 11's and it is much more enjoyable being competitive, even if not winning trophies, than getting pumped every week. That said, for the most part in 5's, if I am in a poor team I have added motivation to do well given I will be one of the better players - until that is, the poorer players coupled with better opponents, have you getting royally pumped - then it becomes very dmeotivational ! I think we'd have enjoyed the 5's more if there was a vets league. I don't mind getting beat by better players, but when you just can't hope to compete in fitness and speed, it just makes you feel old. It's not like you can just do more training to catch up... We've decided now just to get 10 of us together and play each other every week, rather than play in a league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Same as the SPL without Rangers and celtc, would be very competitive. I reckon some of the teams would attract good crowds. Going for the League Title is more attractive, no matter the quality, than going for 3rd place. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 7,988 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yes, but an SPL without Rangers and Celtc would only be competitive for a while - 2 or 3 clubs (Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen) would then become the big 3, attracting the best players, winning all the trophies and attracting the crowds. All leagues are the same the world over, only really going to be 2 or 3 clubs likely of winning the league every season. Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Only 2 or 3 teams, a good way to make some money btw. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
