bubblybear 258 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It shall be title No 55 officially from the club anyone wishing to dispute, you know the drill, e-mails, phone calls , twitter ect ect On another note cast your mind back to season 2010-11 which team celebrated on that last day, but actually won f/a? We will have a trophy to parade, not a paper cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtf1872 13 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 54 and 1. Claiming it as 55 would be an embarrassment from the club, we will celebrate it and we will forever record our triumph in our history but we are 54 times champions of Scotland and will be 55 when we are back.i had initially thought this aswell until reading that coisty is claiming it 55 alot of good points and comments all the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Blue_Flash 390 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It will be 55, this is where we were placed and we will have won the third division title, considering the hell we have been through to get it, the injuries to players, after everything to say this isn't a title, pretty sad.

Mark Walters 206 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It's "embarrassing" to acknowledge a league win? Fuck offWe should sing 55because that's what it will be, but consider it 54+1.Yes its embarrassing. No other team on the planet considers a lesser league win equatable to a national championship title.Why? 'cos if they done so they'd be mocked to fuck for it.This 54+1 patter is a fucking riddy too.Celebrate if for what it is which is promotion, a bit of silverware and our first major milestone to being where we ought to be which is back at the top winning titles that we can add to our world record breaking 54 titles.Anything else is absurd!

The_Blue_Flash 390 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thats rubbish, so Celtic who have been in a one horse race, which in my eyes a complete waste of time, a joke, you think they are not going to count it? Despite no-one else having a chance of winning it, course they are.We are in Div3, we will win the title, it is a title just the same, it means just as much to me as the others. Having been very worried we might not have had a club, to say after everything this is title 55. All this 54 +1, rubbish and to say its still 54 is shocking, after everything, perhaps next time if I meet any of the players should I tell them they shouldnt have bothered because no-one is counting it? Very sad way of looking at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still acknowledge it though,like any other club that has won in 2 tiers.It will be 55 LEAGUES won though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulReid 184 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It doesn't wind them up thoIn my experience it makes them laugh. As in derisory laughing not the "we're actually jealous' kindThis 55 crap needs to stop.It's a 4th rate 'title'. We acknowledge it and move on.thislets not embarrass ourselfs.

8watp8 254 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Of course as a club we will acknowledge it either way. I can understand why people would want it at 55 but for me we are world record 54 times champions of our country, hence why we are the best and most successful in the land. I am not putting on a top with a 6th star when 3 of them have come from outside the top league, its cringe worthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
