I agree with the sentiment here; that football to a degree has forgotten it's about entertainment and is now more than ever concerned about money. But I would rather we were looking for that excitement at the other end of the league, just like every football supporter in the land. Unfortunately the entertainment at the top end of the league is even more non-existent than it is at the bottom. Anyone noticed any Celtic supporters basking in the glory of their league win this week? I certainly haven't. It's bland and pointless, and again fabricated by the need for financial gain. If it were still about entertainment, they would still be splitting the gates, home and away, to try and keep it as competitive as possible. I know there's far too much water under the bridge and it will never revert to that, but I can't help but think that, perhaps if there was more competition, there would have been more excitement, Celtic might have been pushed by the also-rans, and there may have been some actual glory / excitement in winning the league. And I firmly believe you have to taste the bitteness of defeat to truly appreciate the victories (which is just as well, being a Buddie ;)). If they lost the league now and again they might actually remember how great it is to win it. And then there's the team who is winning it insetad of them. Dear God how good would that be??? 40,000 Abderdeen fans for a League Cup Final??? Imagine they'd won the league!!
Not to mention Parkhead might still be full each week, creating more revenue for the game as a whole. Would they *really* be worse off?
Sorry, I feel I've gone a bit off-topic...
