the game is dying and will no longer be a game soon, its just a money scam
the more money the more you win thays no a living game.
you also pointed out that since its a dying game noboby bothers to turn up to watch lower teams since they have no money they cant win or come close and certainly cant be entertaining enough to interest their own fans never mind new fans
And despite the huge wealth gap between 2 clubs in scotland and rest of league the exact same scenario on european level exists where smaller clubs than celtic dwarf celtic financially due to arbitrary payments to bigger leagues
And it gets divergent each season
the clubs in the elite bracket are spending too much trying to get access to the expontential tv deals
and smaller clubs get smaller as their own fans cant be arsed to tiurn up when they cant even field a rotten side too often
the standard of elite football goes south as the wages get higher and the disparity of wealth straggles the competition
Don't think I ever said football is a dying game TET because I don't believe it is and won't be either imo, with the financial term's involved within it.
Of course the financial aspects have totally changed the game from the one we once knew, better or worse remains debatable but a totally different game in many respects regardless.
The SPFL is a product within the game and if it wasn't for the passion of Celtic, I would have fuck all interest within the product as such, simple reason as the product is rotten to the core.
All the while the product remains rotten to the core in the manner that it does then no chances of ever growing imo.
Even today yet again highlights the problem, how can county attract new supporters into a game when your going to be blatantly cheated by a so called bigger team?
It's been in place for donkey years now and still strongly in place and no sign of ever changing either.
Even VAR stands to make things already worse than they currently are imo.
Watched a Liverpool goal awarded today and totally baffling to as to why the own goal was awarded when a player was offside and deemed not to be interfering with play???? Yet it wouldn't devalue the product of the EPL as Liverpool were winning 5-0 at the time.
This whole debate started off around another celtic youngster wanting to move on to salvage a career imo.
Again the product of SPFL football requires a over physical approach that goes unchecked again, allowing to much place for the hammer throwers within it still.
Results being Celtic are caught up in a catch 22 situation where we have to look well outside of Scotland for the flair players as such to be able to withstand the over physical approach towards the game, as on to many occasions the Scottish Young player seems to be regarded as not physically strong enough to withstand such an approach within the game still imo.
It also leads to the bargain player becoming more attractive to the stronger leagues as they have proven themselves more so with the over physical approach to the game with plenty of career ending challenges flying around and going unpunished still.
As a club we do brilliant to withstand and dominant within such a flawed product but the media won't recognise that as prefer to keep the product flawed with false reporting upon it still.
No amount of money is going to change the product all the while that there are no signs of ever wanting such a flawed cheating corrupt product that Scottish football reminds and has no chance of ever growing in its current format imo, and celtic youngsters will continue to struggle within that product as it stands imo.
