The prognosis aint looking good

Football's Battle Of Britain 2002
Well this week it's the first leg of the UEFA Cup tie between Blackburn Rovers and Glasgow Celtic.
So who do you think will win, do you care at all, do you like football or do you just watch it cos they've got nice legs(Yes T I'm looking at you
)
I think Celtic will win over two legs..think Blackburn will draw the game at Blackburn but lose in Glasgow.

Yup looks like Celtic have this game won....I'm glad the Scottish team have went through in a patriotic sense. Also Celtic and Rangers have been campaigning to get into the Premiership....maybe Celtic's display over the two legs against Blackburn might persuade the powers that be that it would be a good idea and that would let Scottish football become more interesting again.

What's the story with the campaign? I don't really know much about it, but Kenny Dalgleish was going on about it's never gonna happen until we get legislation changed. What's that all about?

Being a Newcastle fan... i was thrilled (as well as majorly stunned) that the Toon made it through to the second phase of the Champions League last night! 
They made football (or at least Champions League) history by being the first team to go through to the second phase after losing their first three games. It was an amazing game and well deserved their victory. Though commiserations to Liverpool, i honestly thought they'd walk it through to the next round.

Posted: 23:14 Nov 14 2002 As far as I know the chairmen of the Premiership clubs voted not to invite the Old Firm into the league. However the Old Firm are thinking of taking them to European Courts for Restriction Of Trade(not quite sure how that'll work though). Also 3 Dutch clubs are currently trying to get into the Bungdeslegia (German 1st Division) and if they succeed then the Old Firm will be able to use that precedent to get into the Premiership.

The Old Firm also use examples of other clubs as a reason they should be allowed in. For example Cardiff City(A Welsh club) play in the English League and Berwick Rangers(An English Club) play in the Scottish League.
I hope that the Old Firm do go down south as it will inject some much needed competition into our game.

and, judging from last night throw a bit of excitement in too, plus give some of our clubs a run for their money...

Not going to happen. For some time UEFA has wanted a UKFA, reducing four votes to one. Hence all the talk of a UK national football team (they must love Ryan Giggs). And if Celtic and the Hun are allowed to play south of the border than UEFA will use it as an excuse to force a merger on us. For this reason I suspect the Dutch clubs will be rejected as there is no way the German and Dutch FAs will merge, and if they allow them to do it then they can't use that excuse on us. As for the number of Welsh clubs in the English league (as well as Cardiff there is Wrexham and Swansea, that I can think of), they have always played in the English League, so there is no movement involved. They can't force the Welsh clubs to leave (although there have been a number of attempts to force them to leave and join the Welsh league), and as they have always been members they cannot now turn round and use as an excuse to force a merger. Until FIFA allows clubs to join the league of their choice, or UEFA drops the unification issue, no Scottish club will play in the English league.

This has nothing to do with the abilities of the Old Firm clubs. That's not in doubt. Which is why the game against Blackburn won't change anything.
