TMB 14,167 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Until we can start winning consistently against everyone else in this league there's no point in even worrying about Celtic. Even if we won all 4 Old Firm games during last years league season Celtic would've comfortably won the title. I'm forever hearing Hugh Keevins on SSB say that Rangers biggest problem is Brendan Rodgers but how can that be when we haven't yet overcome everyone else in the league? We finished behind Aberdeen last season, we're two games in to this season and have already suffered a defeat. Celtic will only be a concern for us once we can start beating everyone else consistently and establish ourselves as the best of the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest issue is that logically I think to myself in 2,3,4 years time we will be up there and challenging and hopefully winning the title and I should accept that . But emotionally I just can't ignore the thought of them doing ten in a row . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I'm sure things will eventually start going in our favour it's just that with 10 in a row were racing against the clock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Seen this on some comment somewhere about area around piggery I've ruined so many trainers from stepping in dog shit, the problem is most dog owners don't pick up their dogs shit, you just don't see this kind of thing in lot of other European countries letting your dog shit and not picking it up is the same as having a shit yourself in the middle of the street. It's the H*** that leave it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True although it doesny matter who they get in the CL , no way will Saint Brenda be showcasing anyone , he'll be wanting to try n get them further , They also won't be scoring a lot of goals in it either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Bar Sinclair and in flashes Dembele, their squad is very average. It's not even much different to Delia's team who couldn't buy a win at times during his reign. What they were clever in doing was getting in a very good manager (for the league he works in) who can get some very ordinary players to go above and beyond. Their marquee signing upon our return to the top league was the manager. I'm still behind Pedro but this is something we should've looked in to after Warburton's departure.

soulboy 2,513 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 How fucking lucky can they get, 2 own goals an astana player passing straight to sinclair and a clash of heads where the game should of been stopped straight away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Blooded 100 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 They are very good just now, by Scottish standards, and unfortunately they are brim full of confidence, but nothing lasts forever. We are miles behind, but not so far behind that the task is insurmountable. For me, this year is all about building again. I don't care what any numpty says, we cannot win the league this year. However, we can improve on last year and we can try and finish the season in clear 2nd place and with a big reduction in the points difference from last year. What people forget about their wee purple patch is, that it cannot go on indefinitely. There is a glass ceiling in Scotland, and for me, they are there already, so there is nowhere else for them to go but backwards. Hopefully in a hurry, but regardless, it is still an inevitability they will not improve from here, no matter how much money they throw at it.

Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Folk act as if it's Real Madrid that we are up against. The ten in a row season we bought more players than we needed and we fucked it. The same with Advocaats 3rd season. We bought because we could. These things can turn at a drop of a hat and I think it will. Just not this season. A proper manager could stop them in their tracks just like Fartin O'feel did.

William McBeath 2,154 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just seen the result. It's the CL cash that will be a killer once we're solid again. It pays out enough to spoil the game in smaller leagues like ours. I suppose it will nice seeing that score reversed a few times now right enough.

We are already 3 points behind them after 2 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
