could biggotry spread to epl if of join

[ads_uk]

I personally think it would all of a sudden teams would be labelled as prodestant teams etc... this could take the heat off rangers and celtic but we don't want it spreading.

This is the only thing I have against the old firm joing epl or nationwide or whatever because you'd have to kill me to stop me getting a season ticket if rangers joined a better and british league.

What do you mean all teams would be labelled as Protestant?

[ads_uk]

prodestant/catholic. some teams will be labelled prodestant, others catholic which will just divide the two further because it will spread from rangers and celtic.

[Parkhead_Faithful]

Wouldnt happen.

[ads_uk]

have rangers & celtic signed up to spl pay tv?

[Parkhead_Faithful]

The meeting will be held later today about that I think, Personally I dont think it would work unless the championship was better this year, the last 4 have been crap.

[BrianCappellieri]

I wasn't sure what you meant at first but no that wouldn't happen. I'm not sure how every club could be labelled as one religon or another.

Some of the english clubs can be, like liverpool and everton, I believe everton were the traditionally catholic team in liverpool and pool were the traditionally protestant.
As I said though it wouldnt happen.

I can't imagine it becoming a big deal. If anything, I think it would become MORE about the football than ever, and that is a very good thing.

Right. But those are the only clubs I know of that have a well known religous history and I don't think that's even a big part of the rivalry.

I'm sure there'd be heated rivalries and high risk matches if the Old Firm were to move to the Premiership or Nationwide Division.

Is this 4real? Are the remnants of the SPL really going to go out like the old WAC & form their own league? American collegiate fans should recall how the WAC disbanned and formed the Mountain West. Neither faction was guaranteed an automatic bid to the post season. If this precedent hold true, will the SPL and the old firm lose CL & UEFA rights?

I heard the old firms will be joining the 1st division rather than the EPL. I believe this is better for league, since promotion should be proven, not delegated.

Back to the topic, I think the protestant majority in England will unlikely pick up on any unionist/nationalist biggotry. As far as I know, Everton, has never been a hotspot for religious debate.

I didn't know there was a place called everton :P

[-cman-]

The Brits can't be bothered to crack heads over religion. They are too busy cracking heads over football. ;)

Read my lips... The Old Firm will NEVER be in England.

P.S. There's only one "g" in bigotry idiot.

These are really the only two in English football, but even that's pushing it. It's not really an issue with these two.

And also, I think it's the other way round (I'm willing to be proved wrong though) - that Liverpool are traditionally 'Catholic' and Everton are 'protestant'.
Hence the Dalglish connection with Celtic and Duncan Ferguson/Gazza/Stuart McCall/Walter Smith link with Rangers.

its not clear cut, alan stubbs used to play for celtic and graeme souness used to manage liverpool straight from rangers.

rangers connection with everton came through walter smith really id be glad for merseyside even if there was a general divide like there is in glasgow if they don't start the rubbish about the ira and uvf and people trying to condone what they do when the answer is they are both a bunch of ersehails. If they took a comical view to religion like father ted does with catholisim then the banter might be interesting and fun but the way it is you end up just ignoring your fellow supporters.

That is true. Some people take the whole thing far too seriously. Problem is, some people will always have a sense of humour bypass. This leaves us witht the issue whether or not everyone else should take more responsibility in their actions on these issues. But then you get the whole "guns/bigotry don't kill people; people do" argument, so we're back where we started.

It's hard to see a way out sometimes.
