The Dude 20,027 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Why? A cup is a cup, it would be pretty special under the circumstances but it wouldn't mean we're back where we belong yet.Nothing to do with 'being back where we belong'. 18 months ago every fucker and their dug was lining up to have a kick at us. EVERYONE. Papers pushing #NoToNewco, fans of clubs freely admitting they would harm their own club to see Rangers 'rightfully punished', All manner of internet sociopaths having their say on the ils of Rangers and then all the Sevco/Zombie/yer deid pish. yet here we are, in the same league as such luminaries as East Fife and Stenhousemuir and we're looking in a fairly good position to win the Cup. They've thrown everything they can at us, they've hamstrung us with unlawful embargoes, tried to remove our titles but we just won't roll over and die.A cup isn't just a cup. Its another part of our history, another memory, another opportunity for a legend to be born. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLawMan 6,240 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The most satisfying for sure - no debateAchievement wise I'm unsure as we do have the second best squad, wage bill etc in Scotland and resources that dwarf everyone elseThis for me.There are no excuses left now. We SHOULD win it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 What is more special in the clubs history?FFS mate can't you just accept others don't share the same opinion as you? You have made some valid points and I don't think anyone is disputing it would be a very satisfying achievement but others hold the view it wouldn't be as big an achievement in comparison.....

The Dude 20,027 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Each to their own I quess and everyone will have favourite moments, players etc based on their own experiences.....I remember 9 in a row like it was yesterday and maybe it's a degree of elitism but I would consider champions league qualification, that amazing night in Florence and all league titles in my lifetime as more significant than a domestic cup that by it's very nature is something of a lottery but that's not taking away from what would be a great achievement still!I rememeber 9iar like it was yesterday too. Im intriqued how winning the cup is 'something of a lottery' but qualifying for the CL (where we might only have played one or two rounds against fisherman from the faroe isles) is a bigger achievment.We're not talking about any old domestic cup. We're talking about winning the cup less than 2 years after we were dumped in the 4th tier,had a whole raft of players fuck off and scre the club over illegally hit with a transfer embargo, had several millions of pounds withheld from us and STILL here we are winning the cup.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 i think over the last decade half of the finals have involved a team from outide the top flight.I really don't know where your going with all this tbh Re read everything me and allgers have said to each other - wage bill and resources doesn't matter? The fact we have 50 thousand something? I'm guessing fans? Means we have the edge? Football doesn't work that way I'll repeat winning it will be our most special and romantic trophy ever but as for actual achievement it's nowhere near the top It's doing a discredit to so many honours we've won Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 We are not even favourites for this even though Celtic have crashed out. To go from the state we were in during the summer of 2012 to cup winners in less than 2 years would be remarkable.Barcelona 72 and 9 in a row would probably eclipse it though.I'd add the Uefa cup final to that list too mate.but it would be an amazing achievement.

allgers 735 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 More pishYou asked why Albion Rover are not winning it, when they and others can draw crowds of 50k to watch them in the 4th tier of Scottish, that's when they will win it.Just saw your post above, the 50k fans do mean we have the financial edge, but it has to be that way, do we downsize to play against lower league teams, that would be unworkable and wrong, since the start of the season we have been hearing this league is meaningless because our squad is too good for the league we are in, there is no answer to that, for fans to say the same thing about the cup it's just meaningless.

Its another part of our history, another memory, another opportunity for a legend to be born. good post.gotta disagree with Lawman too, I don't think we are in a position to be saying we "should" be winning this cup.Right now there are two teams in it that have already given us heavy defeats in the past 18 months, and the team that just put out the clear favorites.I would say right now, we are still only maybe 3rd to 4tf favorites to win this, we SHOULD be winning nothing ( to assume that is very very arrogant) We COULD win it and we MIGHT win it.

You said it would be more important than anything we've won before and I just can't agree, our first league win back in the top flight yes probably.
