avhudtheteeshirt Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Reported in the paper today that a Lithuanian team has been allowed to play in the Polish League by FIFA, This would open the door for the Uglies to move down south. Celtic will be up in arms as Rangers have prior knowledge of how to start from the bottom and try and work their way up. My own feeling on this is that it would be a shot in the arm for Scottish Football, as without them I think that trophies would be more likely to shared around, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queensferryjambo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 English football doesn't need or want them. Rangers fans (Chelsea fans in disguise) rampaging around Manchester in 2008 is still very fresh in the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The only people who might want this outside of the ***** themselves are the broadcasters.

Ibrahim Tall Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Zalgirus Vilnius. As far as I can see nothing has been approved yet though it's all talk like the OF? Can't see it to be honest, they'd add nothing really to the Polish league competitive wise. The only thing they have in their favour rule wise is Wilno(Vilnius) was a Polish city pre-WW2 so perhaps they could claim something that way.

gnasher75 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'd love to see the back of them but if they did ever find a way into the English Premier League they would make so much money that all Scottish clubs would end up as feeder clubs even more than they already are. A few years ago I was really up for a competitive Scottish league without the Old Firm where pretty much anyone could win it. But now I am beginning to believe Hearts can compete for the league in the next few years and winning it above Rangers and Celtic would be so much sweeter than winning it without them.

Unknown user Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think the gun's being jumped a bit, this from yesterday says the club have discussed it in theory with their town's mayor, no mention of fifa Lithuanian soccer champion, Zalgiris Vilnius, on January 17th, 2016 said it was considering the possibility of moving to the Polish league in the future, adding that it would not withdraw from the Lithuanian tournament, reports LETA/BNS. According to a press release issued on Sunday evening, the club confirmed the possibility had been discussed with the Vilnius City Municipality. ?Participation in the strongest league of the Poland, Ekstraklasa, without the club leaving the Lithuanian national championship was one of the theoretical options discussed,? reads the press release. The club said that joining another country's championship "is unlikely in the nearest future, as the club does not have a football stadium that would meet highest standards." Earlier on Sunday, Vice-Mayor Linas Kvedaravicius told BNS Lithuania the idea had been presented by the club's owners. "The club's leadership had the thought, however, a long time will pass until this happens, if it ever does," the vice-mayor told BNS Lithuania on Sunday. "The club's willingness to have good matches comes naturally," he added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What chance would the rest of the west coast teams have if they are playing host to the big EPL teams ? Agree completely, but would add that should they join the English League, and eventually play in the top tier, Scottish football would suffer even more as it's bad enough just now with the saddos that need to support an 'English team' because they can't cope with the pressure of supporting their local club, without creating the even greater attraction of a club based in Scotland that plays in the 'big' league! The TV coverage of the 'Very Big Two' would be massive, introducing even more youngsters to the 'glamour' of English football. The league that is currently on our doorstep would be in our livingroom! I believe Scottish football might, one day, reach a level close to the 50s if we lose the Glasgow two, but only if they get right out of our faces!

None of that helps empty the Uglies. Maybe Celtic could take the Lithanian clubs place in the space now created?

Why would the English public want them poisoning their cities and public transport every weekend? It must be bad enough now with the nutters they already have down there. Which level do they enter at? They surely don't think they will just walk into the EPL or Championship do they? Even SKY couldn't cobble that one together, surely.

Bazzas right boot Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If they were to start at the bottom, I don't see the problem, and how other clubs could have a problem or stop them if FIFA allowed the cross country thing. They are huge clubs, Celtic's potential is massive, The Broadcasters would want them, it would give them somthing to hype up and sell. If there is predecent for it, then they have a case. I for one would love it, Be great battling it out every year with Aberdeen, Ut and Hibs once they get thier house in order, throw in the odd purple patch by ICT, Motherwell, St Johnstone and thye likes and it could be a right exciting league. More likely a larger UCL or European league involving more teams, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 How are the Welsh teams not already a precedent? I'm sure it's got something to do with the Welsh clubs (Swansea, Cardiff, Newport etc) joined the English League because there wasn't a League of Wales in operation at this time (1800's). They were offered to join the League of Wales but declined as the only teams in Wales at that time were amateur and were of poor standard. Swansea, Cardiff and the rest have never played in a Welsh League as they have always been in the English League system. I could be wrong on this but I'm sure this is what I read somewhere why Welsh clubs were allowed to play in the English League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while in the 1990s I believe they segregated the fans from one another at Poland Internationals in accordance with their club allegiances i.e. all the Legia Warszawa fans had to sit together, Wisla Krak?w in their own section, Lech Poznan etc etc. In one season sbout 10 years ago there were 8 deaths in violence between the 2 Krak?w clubs!
