WadeWilson 4,670 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Negri shagging Amo's mrs was the downfall! I actually think the problem was our team had aged and we needed significant change albeit I can understand why Walter wanted to give that squad the chance to get 10 in a row!Aye, that's just what happened.

IainB 599 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I also remember some shocking referee's decisions against us during the run in, I will always believe the SFA were ready to do anything to block us from going 10 in a row to better the scum. AND since the scum count goals scored during the war years I also count titles so Rangers did NIAR first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 87,184 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 When you think about it it sounds fucking insane that a club should ever even be thinking about winning their league 10 years straight Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 35,387 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Was sitting last night thinking how we failed to win 10 in a row. We should have won it with our eyes shut when you think we had a six point lead after the first 2 games plus, plus we won the first old firm game.Also Negri went into the huff, and we had to rely on Ally who i think was 35 years old. We sold Gazza, and lost to Aberdeen after beating the darkside, plus many other reasons, like spending a fortune, and still failed to win it. Still have nightmares about not winning the 10.Circumstances too. Like you say we won first two games , they lost them , and we were ready to go play them away . I've no doubt we'd have beaten them and gone on for 10. Sadly Princess Di died and the game was played months later with the momentum lost.

The Godfather 75,665 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Seeing us blow the 10 makes me a little bit more optimistic of stopping them getting to it.We were so much better than them at that time but they managed to win it somehow, we will need do the same this time around.

AlCapone 7,678 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 He had to go, it was more a decision from the management and it was all down to his attitude and behaviour.Yes I agree he had to go....at the end of the saeson! We had ten in a row and it was ll bodies to the pump. He may have swung 1 game that would have meant ten in a row. apalling decision Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 21,616 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Them winning 10 honestly wouldn't faze me. The first 4 of their titles, at least, have been without any competition. A tainted record is what it would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Walter should never have announced his intention to go midway through the season. Disrupted the dressing room imho.This although Walter says he was effectivly sacked it still should of been kept private until after the season, that the Negri/Porrini stuff and too many players who just couldnt or wouldnt perform destroyed our 10 in a row chance.

Right_To_Censor 1,951 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Walter also paid good money for some average players from Italy. And bought Stensaas who was a poor player.spending close to 4 million for a fat arse called seb rozenthal didn't help matters either Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Murray shoulfd have been hung for selling Gascoigne midway through the season, apalling decisionAdvocaat made that decision.

subcrawl 43 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Negri was the best striker I've seen at Ibrox. Whatever happened with him after Christmas that season resulted in 10 IAR being lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking, 10 in a row must be stopped....end of!It's a tainted achievement. It's absolutely worthless. How can them 'winning' 10 be celebrated or even grieved about when they've had no competition for almost half of the 10 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatedRpoed 16 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 1 - None of the new signings worked out except Negri for the 1st half of the season.2 - We were conceding far too many goals.Amo & McLaren both getting injured at the start of the season didn't help.3 - We conceded 3 90th minute goals to Celtic, Kilmarnock & Dunfermline.Don't concede 1 of those & we would still have won it.4 - Others like Walter announcing he was leaving too early, Laudrup/Gazza not having same impact due to injury, 1 season too far for some & others being injured all didn't help.
