GWR1979 1,964 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Voted 54We should only count our top tier titles.When we return to the top and win the league should be when we shout about 55. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alectrician 70 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Maths was never my strong point ....but it would be 55...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Walters 206 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I am far from trying to raise it's significance. It is where we are at this moment.Its exactly what you are doing. I've already covered your later point earlier in the debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulReid 184 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 United fans don't gloat about winning 21 titles despite winning the championship (equivalent ) twice, they celebrate 19. We'd be a laughing stock if we claimed 55this, we take enough shit as it is. like party the day we win the league and move on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,310 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I will keep on singing 54 (assuming we win D3). The fact we hold a world record 54 is enough for me until we make it 55 and more in the top division. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluechip 359 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I vote for 55 because that's what the unwashed wanted out of this most, to catch up on our titles tally unfairly and dishonourably. Pond life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uloyalist1690 3 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It should be recognised as no matter what league you play in, winning it is an achievement BUT I think in these terms it should remain as 54 top flight titles with an asterix to acknowledge these potential lower league titles.So the other old div titles aint the same, a league title is a title 55 and counting Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullyRFC 5,230 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The fact some people don't even know what the song is about is more worrying than anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFarmer 260 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If your going to include the third division title why not include the emergency war league title or the southern league titles or the glasgow league titles?The only ones that are national titles are the 54, but the rest are still all official titles.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The fact some people don't even know what the song is about is more worrying than anything else.Some people (myself included) see it as a representation of our World Record of Scottish titles.It's a song. It has different meanings to different people. Who are you to say what it really means? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see your point. But it doesn't encapsulate all our history does it. (Cups, Europe etc.) We have won 54 Scottish (1st Divison) titles, its a World Record, so I can't see why its hard for you to understand why some see the song as a representation of that World Record.

No problem with that.But when we win Division 3 you will maybe have to change your representation on the song depending on whether the lyrics change or not.

If the song is changed I won't be singing it out of principle, which is a shame coz I love that song.My issue was with your shock at those who saw the song representing something different to them than you.

Yes it is and should have it's own song.Is there any getting through to you Al?The song is about our history from the days when the club was founded till the present day.In 4 months we will have won 55 league titles.
