tbp posted:Can anyone tell me what matches would be good to watch this year? Other than old firm ones I never watched spl matches that much. Only now is it being offered on my tv so I don't have to stream. Haven't seen much of any team aside from celtic in europe either, so i dont know how good anyone else is. On top of that i keep hearing how so many teams are poo poo and im interested in seeing that in action. Lately the other leagues of europe have been boring, so spl might be interesting just to see something new. I'm interested in hard tackling, tough teams. None of that tiki taka attempting crap, just hoofballs and hard tackles. I'd point to like how blackburn played as an example . So yeah any ideas? How about Dundee United? Every time I see them the atmosphere seems pretty good. Solid choice imo and it's not like you'll be called a glory hunter  Any team you choose is going to be pretty bad unless it's Celtic tbh. Celtic are presumably going to win the title for the foreseeable future. Until rangers come back up that is...No teams stand out as challengers apart from Inverness. They could do it I guess

I went to Hibs vs Hearts this spring and it was hands down one of the most boring games I've ever seen. Apart from Leigh Griffiths scoring a perfectly legitimate goal the ref didn't see nothing happened. Not even bad tackles. I had a pie though.

You should support rangers right now tbp. That way you won't be seen as a glory hunter when we start winning leagues again in a couple of years. It is almost exactly the same reasoning behind you supporting Liverpool except rangers will actually win the league in the future.

But if you want to avoid the old firm go with Dundee united probably.

This is the most attention I've paid to the league since I was about 11. I wonder what all the wee glory hunter bams up here thought when Rangers ceased to be? I wonder if they jumped ship to Celtic or if they went a step further and became Man City fans. Chas McGill fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Oct 31, 2013 |

Partick or Murrayfield What a choice! Celtic should just pick the worst ground to make it horrible for the opposition. My choice is ST Johnston purely because when I was 15 I played there and the home and away changing rooms are the smallest I have ever seen. They are literally 1 meter apart but this may not still be the case.

As a player you accept the risk that a bad tackle could injure you on the pitch because it's part and parcel of the game, and anything outside that - like a headbutt or a punch - is dealt with criminally. A ref shouldn't and wouldn't expect that kind of action from a player.

A ref shouldn't and wouldn't expect that kind of action from a player. I once saw a ref push over Gary Kenneth at Tannadice. It was semi-hilarious because I was sitting with my united supporting mates even though I'm a St Johnstone fan. Kind of surreal. Deserved it though, prick.

A ref shouldn't and wouldn't expect that kind of action from a player. 100% agree. He should (provided the allegations are true etc) be threatened with at least a police caution if not a court appearance. Whilst I agree in principle with the league sorting this out themselves - purely because their punishment is likely to be more severe than that offered by the courts - the problem is that if this happens again it has not already been dealt with by the courts and thus the player effectively bypasses the judicial system. If this were to happen again the player in question would then receive a police caution; a punishment far less severe than a 16 match ban. They would then need to commit the same offence a third time before any serious action is taken. This is a bad precedent to set. A crime may have been committed and should be dealt with as a crime; not as an infraction of the rules, which is what match bans are there for.

To be honest any player squaring up to another should be given a 10 match ban as standard and a team that has a ruck like that should be docked points.

Victory for the Well! Hazah! Mr Young is banging on about Butcher for Hibs. Would be a good get for them but why leave Caley who are decent now for Hibs, He already turned down better paying jobs at English teams. Think the dude is an adopted Scot and loves toughing the cold out in Inverness. Though the way Chick Young is banging on about it makes me thing he knows something or more likely knows nothing.

Well living in CHina I was interested to see this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24806788 Geez Alex Salmond is some kind of wizard 20m for the SPFL, quite the business. From what I have seen so far China is Basketball / badminton mad but football is next but the Primership is way ahead of La liga or even Bundesliga. Evrey SPL team needs to sign a Chinese player to cash in now.
