    Doing it so haphazardly and without a quote seems to make it so pointless and petty.

    Construct the whole argument and then let us know.

    The chances are (and Tricky could put his house on it), that should purpose and context be provided, it will still remain pointless and petty.

    Yeah. Nothing more haphazard than providing an article with several sources and quotes and letting it speak for itself.

    Especially when reasoned debate digresses into ****taking.

    Letting it speak for itself? Come of it. There's a quote button. Use the bloody thing.

    Half of Scottish football sectarian court cases fail

    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-30501179

    "Almost half of all people taken to court this year under laws designed to stamp out sectarian abuse at football matches were acquitted, figures show."

    1. All discussion on Scottish football is to be confined to this thread, with no exeptions. Other SPL threads will be merged into this thread, or binned.
    2. This thread shall strick strictly to football matters. No politics or religion are allowed to be discussed. Any hint of sectarianism will be severely punished.
    3. No goading or baiting of people involved in this thread by those with no interest in Scottish football. Posts by those with no interest must be relevant and constructive.
    4. The same principal for the whole forum applies. Freedom of choice to support who one likes. Be that Celtic, Hibs, Rangers or Stirling Albion. Any attack or criticism on someone's choice of club will be punished.

    It's no wonder Ally McCoist bailed out. How can a club be run with the directors telling the manager what players to pick?

    Interesting that Dundee United sold Celtic their best players (I assume) and yet are going to face Celtic in the Cup Final. OK they will be cup tied but won't be able to play for the Arabs in the Final. I wonder would Celtic be better off concentrating on picking up the best talent in Scotland rather than second rate Scandinavian players. I like the look of Liam Henderson.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Didn't do them much good against mighty Raith Rovers. Go on the Rovers and with a green hoop as well. Watched by all of 11k. Who would have believed it.

    I see some that Celtic's revenue was down 30%. Not good days for Scottish football, unless you're a Raith fan

    Where did you get the 30% figure from? In Celtic's 2014 annual report, income was down 15% from 2013 (but still 25% up on 2012 and 2011), however they have less cash reserves than Apple plc despite recording an £11m profit.

    It's a 6 months statement up to dec 2014, revenue is one element in the accounts, negatively affected by CL exit and transfer dealings where the gain from transfers dropped from £17m to £7m.
    Expenses are also another element and they are down by 18%. Profits are another element and the club is still profitable, recorded a £6m profit for that 6 month period. The club has no debt and cash reserves of >£5m.
    I don't see where Scottish football is in jeopardy though, afaics the spl clubs and Hearts are striving and succeeding to leave their troubled days in the past.
    The inequality gap has reduced between Celtic and the rest of the spl, the league is better off for that.

    Celtic fc are pleased to announce that 'Celtic secured third spot in the S&P Capital IQ list of the most stable clubs in Europe just behind Ajax who top the table and Arsenal.'
    'The club also boast of being the least likely to default in a table that uses S&P Capital IQ’s default model'.

    I really enjoyed that Celtic game tonight. Is Deila beginning to show his worth?

    Celtic v Dundee United three times in six days in three different competitions must be some kind of record?!

    I see Rangers only drew at home again last night, they look to be in free fall. Any particular reason for them being extra useless lately besides McCoist's resignation?

    Just did a couple of quick tot ups there...

    This season under McCoist they won 20/27.
    The last 12 games under McCoist they won 8/12.
    Since McCoist's resignation they have won 2/12.

    I think it's fair to say they have definitely become extra useless since he left. Three of their next four games are against Hibs (a), Hearts (h) and Queen of the South (a). They'd want to pick it up or could miss out on the relegation/promotion playoffs completely. Their main rivals for that 4th spot are Queen of the South though, who have an equally difficult run of fixtures coming up.
