CottonRunt 978 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 They were beating us in Youth Leagues when we were winning 9 n row. made no difference to be honest.Not many young players ever break through at Rangers or the Filth, very few make the grade.Different time. We are now going to have to rely on youth players coming through, instead of being able to buy top class players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant bet on that, we still buy the best Knewco players just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 14,421 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I am convinced mcgregor will return at least!!! Well that's the least he could do and that would seriously help us create that winning mentality again!!!Fuck sake! You trying to out do the surrender monkeys who think the tarriers will win 10 in a row before we kick a ball against them? You are succeeding. Totally delusional.

AllyDawson72 213 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Reading a few of the posts here i think the word deluded springs to mind.Do any of you honestly think we would be able to even get close to Celtic with our current squad? We are about 5 years behind them in youth development, the same with scouting.The people who run the club are so busy trying to fight the people who want to run the club that we have little or no direction.We dont have a scouting network, even if we did, we have no money to buy players at the moment, so i dont see how our squad is suddenly going to improve vastly.Next year we will be playing in the Scottish championship, does anyone remember how hard it was trying to attract decent players to play in the Scottish premiership?This boardroom stuff needs sorted, and quickly. We then need to start looking a getting some further investment (and believe me, we need a fucking lot of it) before we can even think about catching up with them.Agree with this. Unfortunately the real pain lies ahead and I honestly think it will be a battle to stop the bheasts getting 10IAR. The solution? Major investment combined with real grass roots coaching however time won't be on our side when we get back. Next season will be interesting as its a big step up and this grinding teams down with our superior fitness won't be as effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been proven with Livingston, Gretna and Hearts, not to mention Rangers and Celtic and their constant expensive short term fixes. In reality it will not be as hard as some are painting it to be to catch them. Celtic will not get anywhere near 10 IAR, our support will make sure of that as we demand success.

Its bad in a way that no one can create a League winning team through good man management and team building. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalvinC 1,414 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Unfortunately, he's right. We'll have a lot of catching up and building up to do before we're able to compete. I jut hope we don't end up over-spending to try and compete.This Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC Rob 112 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'd like to go through the starting 11s and see how far away we think we are from them, but I actually have no idea who still plays for them. I know big Lurch does (hee hee) but that's about it.Anyone fancy doing a 11 v 11 comparison and we can see how many players we're looking at to take the title?I started doing a comparison but to be honest I don't really know how Celtic set up these days and I feel dirty trying to look it up! I think it's fair to say they are stronger in all areas of the pitch apart from up front where I would take big Jon over Samaras any day of the week. Also think Forster is massively over-rated and don't feel Bell is far behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Complacency. And taking their position for granted. And believing their own press. And lack of real competitive edge. Fat. Basking in the illusion of their own supposed glories. Boring the shit out of Scottish football. Combined together = a weakening. That'll get them. While hunger - real hunger, and a determination to put right the wrongs = a continued rising for us. Their weakening and our rising would be a bit of a factor when we are back in the top flight.

Gaffbear 4,096 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 20m+ ???Seriously?Yes seriously.By the time we're there Daly and Jig will be too old and i wouldn't trust Foster,Little,Hutton or Shiels.We don't know how McLeod,McKay and Clark will cope with the step up and you can guarantee the beggars will strengthen quite a bit to make sure we don't walk back to the title.So £20m+ i think would be a healthy investment that season meaning we only need to tweak for the following couple of seasons.
