dummiesoot 16,005 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I don't like Billy Dodds so celebrating winning a trophy is embarrassing? What about our opponents that kicked fuck out of us and sometimes gave us a right good game, how disrespectful is it to fellow professionals to not celebrate. Cunts like Dodds want it both ways.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I can't say I remember his reaction but I'm pretty sure he celebrated when we won a shite league by a huge margin with a vastly stronger team than most of our opponents in 2000.Dodds is a wank but you aren't seriously claiming us winning a league of part timers without even one challenger is the same as that?

tannerall 25,935 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Aye they should just walk off and forget it I mean some of these players have won the johnstones paint trophy, the Yorkshire cup, the French under 18 league and the Canadian under 13 premiershipAll of which have more credibility than a tainted SPL title.

JamieD 18,932 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not as such but it's not comparable situationsIt doesn't have to be an equal situation to be comparable. People are not robots. They respond to how they feel. If our players are happy about winning the league then celebrating is a normal response. If they are happy in spite of the overwhelming advantages they enjoyed, just like Billy Dodds enjoyed at Rangers, then that's fine too.Billy Dodds, apparently a Rangers-class striker during one of our most prosperous periods, once won the First Division with Dundee. I wonder if he kept his celebrations to himself because it would have been "embarrassing" to celebrate an achievement so obviously beneath him.

I do think we need to mainly look forward though, use the remaining league games to try and get a run of good football going and obviously there's some massive cup matches left. Then it's on to stage 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably didn't feel anything like winning a top flight league or a cup for Lee McCulloch either. Do we have any measurements to prove that they celebrated it like one?

sergio 1,199 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Billy Dodd's would gut his grannie for money, so it's no surprise that he is sticking the boot in to us, considering who his employer is.All we can do is win whatever competition we find ourselves in. The players and the fans are not to blame for the predicament we find ourselves in, so we have a right to celebrate winning the title. I was there and I enjoyed the game, and the celebrations where anything but over the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Slate the way they've played but as the saying going "you can only win the league you're in" the players are entitled to celebrate many of them most likely wouldn't have enjoyed much success in their careers in terms if trophies if they hadn't joined Rangers.Doffs is a bitter little shite end of.

MaddistonKnight 1,567 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Missing the point lads. He said it was embarrassing the way the team celebrated. Frankly, its fuck all to do with him as he doesn't support the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 14,418 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The team won the league through their own efforts and are entitled to celebrate any way they choose.Anyone who says otherwise is a killjoy of the highest order.Dodds has shown himself up for the unsporting, bitter and twisted little man he is.
