Because he needed games, what are you failing to understand here? Yes the SPL has the odd decent player now and then. Given it's a league with 12 clubs that's got to be expected. They still move on as soon as they show promise though because it's a shit league.

Call it an educated guess.

How are they poor? Krul was always a quality keeper, he just needed experience so we sent him to a club in a much poorer league to get it? It wasn't a shock to anyone he became our first choice. As for the SPL top scorers, it's just another example of players moving on as soon as a decent club comes in for them.

It does still produce better talent though

Good luck with that.

Yes we send players to a poorer league because they won't get games here. Forster will come back to the EPL as soon as someone shows an interest in him. People don't know the SPL top scorers because they have little interest in shite players, the same reason they don't follow the Estonian league

Player moving to a big league, there's your difference. Forster would be fighting for 2nd choice now, that's why most aren't really that bothered.

A few games in the champions league is worthless when he spends the rest of his time trying to stop Niall McGinn (who?) and Michael Higdon (again?) from scoring past him

Well given you are Celtic fans on a Newcastle forum...

Quite a few places higher than league 1 which is about SPL level.

These things sometimes happen in cup tournaments. Lets be honest premier league sides could basically pick and choose your players as they please. The fact that maybe 3 are the subject of interest says a lot?

It's indefensible, the SPL is an abysmal league made up of one club who probably wouldn't make it out of the championship despite attendances.

This might just be a rumour but is it true this has to be played at the stadiums before every SPL game?

That's an achievement. The fact that people always talk about the bigotry over the football, well done.

I disagree, the bundesliga has a lot of quality players. The fact that people don't know the top scorer (or top 3 even) isn't ignorance, just a reflection of a mickey mouse league Edit: Just had a look at the scoring chart, make that top 7 in the league, that league ffs!

The SPL has about 6 players who non-SPL followers could name. It's a shambles of a league ffs!

The Sunday league team over the road is 3rd in their league, they won't be signing up on here mind because they know their place.

Turkish league is miles better than the SPL man! Norway would have been closer.

Yeah a few games a year against quality opposition vs 38, lucky him

Thought you were talking about someone Scottish. Bit of a stretch comparing Ba to Forster mind, desperate times and all that?

?

No he was behind Krul and Harper, would have moved up to second choice now but that's still a reflection on Scottish football that he walks into the best team in the league.

We would have done better this season if he was fit. He definitely isn't shit.

Players like Zaha, Walcott, Bale and Oxlade-Chamberlain would have pissed their pants if Celtic came in for them Fact is Forster was our 3rd choice keeper when Celtic signed him and he went straight in as first choice. That sums up that league.

Can't agree that Taylor is shit at all, a crock? Of course, but he is far from shit even if he does have 'moments'.
