Helicopter Sundae 5,967 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 What a complete embarrassment. The history books will show that we lost the league by 13 points. Yet WE still had a mere 27 points still available to play for. They had 24 still up for grabs. While we were in a poor state of mind when this virus blew up the sporting world, and it had sadly dawned on us that the title was a mere pipe-dream going into that Sunday Old Firm game, having just been pumped 3:1 by Bayer Leverkusen, we meekly accepted our fate. However, as the events, both before and after the "winter break" had proven, you take absolutely nothing for granted in sport. Had we beaten them that Sunday, and boosted ourselves by winning the game in hand, that could have seen that 13 point lead whittled down to a mere 7. With another OF to play at CP, where earlier in the season we had achieved something truly special. And we all know what happened that magnificent season in 2005, when after beating us at Ibrox and going 5 points clear, it looked all over bar the shouting. And it was far from over! They have only got away with this due to our weakness. The only thing to say now, is to send congratulations to our rivals for winning a quite magnificent, and unique achievement in world football. Well done for winning your 8 1/2th League Title in a row. A truly uniquely tainted accolade for quite possibly the most tainted club in world football. The Magnifcent 8 1/2th.

kanjo 26,327 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Exactly. Form would have been different after so long away. We could have restarted and been on fire and they may not have. Who knows? Hertha in Germany beat Hoffenheim away 3-0 on Saturday and that came as a shock to people there but it justifies my point. Form changes. Be in absolutely no doubt that celtic had no interest in playing this to a conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,702 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Wouldn't have mattered if it was 13 or 3 points the result was always going to be the same. Even if they keep saying otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuistraHairDo 12,489 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Add to that we hadn't even gone into the top six split. No wonder we are a laughing stock to the rest of world football, we have been known as a Mickey mouse league for 30 year In that 30 year we continue to lose even more stature in world football, while the likes of Norway, Sweden etc etc all improve.

LegendofCoop 17,250 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 No coincidence it was decided on the same day that NS declared we may get a partial lifting of lockdown measures by the end of may, making a return to BCD games a possibility....... I know we only really have ourselves to blame for shocking form from January, but even if we'd been 3 behind with a game in hand, these corrupt cunts would have arrived at the same decision.

Brubear 2,905 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Would have been interesting if the pandemic had come along 2 months earlier during the winter shutdown. Could you imagine the uproar if we had been handed the title virtue of being ahead at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,619 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 It would be easier to leave Scottish football than force through any change imo. Scottish football is rotten to the core with lawell the puppet master and his cronies. We should be investing some time at looking at some radical shakeups that may arise from all this but not in scotland. Why not approach other European clubs and look to see what the appetite is for a European league? Clubs across Europe will be looking for avenues to recover and increase income.

It wouldn't harm to ask the question but with the current climate I think we won't see european football until next year so a european league being formed anytime soon would be very unlikely.

ForeverAndEver 71,364 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 They shouldn’t have just been given the league but it was finished the minute Hearts beat us.

Ofc I don't see it happening next season ... But these are the kind of discussions that need to be taking place now. 1.it sends the message to Scottish football we are sick of the current situation and management of our game 2.it tests the water with other clubs. We need to be realistic in that fuck all is going to change in the landscape of Scottish football with lawell pulling the strings and we will continue to be treated with contempt. This might just make all those other selfish clubs take their head out Celtics arse for a second and have a reality check. I hope there is a full boycott of all away games next season.
