Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Not celebrating being 2nd, but I will celebrate my team getting back on form and playing the kind of football we know they can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 As most people have rightly pointed out, it isn't necessary celebrating second place but more about our performances finally improving to consolidate second place especially as about a month ago we looked like we would be sitting in 4th. This season was always going to be tough to win at the first time of asking but after a poor start with too many draws we are finally improving and hopefully push on from here and all we can do is to keep winning our games as I'm sure Celtic will slip up a few times so it is up to us to keep the pressure on them and to put them under pressure.

Second isn't nothing, second is European football and more revenue. No-one is settling for second, not even me, but right now I think we have to have a long term view about where we have been in the context of what we are trying to achieve. You are not being any more ambitious than anyone else on here; some of us are being a bit more realistic though. I don't care what anyone says or where we were the last few years, second place means you've lost. I'm not happy about being a loser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Jesus fucking Christ. Is that what we've been reduced to? Being ahead of Aberdeen and Hearts before Christmas rendering our weekend a success? Fucking hell. I've been subject to watching us lose an Old Firm game 5-1, then another in the dying seconds; the worst two types of results to be on the end of. Yet, we should be buzzing because Aberdeen and Hearts dropped points? That first post is the type of post that would end up on our equivalent of the Kerrdale Meltdown page on Twitter, if there is one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is arguable that the start we had was completely natural. It is very evident that we have adjusted the the level of football that has been better than what we faced last season. I think that was something that took everyone by surprise. For nearly three months our team has looked better than most of the teams we have played, by a long way. We needed to adjust, it would appear, and we have. I'll take second if it means this club moving forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I acknowledge we have the second best budget by far of any club in this country, so if things are that bad second should be a given and nothing to celebrate about. I'm satisfied we're now well in command of at least second, but given the team I support second is absolutely fuck all to shout about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before five years ago I'd have agreed completely, and one day that will be the case again. Right now though? I don't think so. I know what you're saying, and many a day I'd have been totally in agreement, but I think it's too early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverAndEver 73,897 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Aberdeen aren't our rivals. Just try to make it big games against us. So, going by this thread they are our rivals, as well as Hearts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 36,793 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 We were always going to finish 2nd. Comfortably ahead of the rest but probably 20+ behind the tarriers. Exactly the way King wanted it to claim "progress".

Albertz 78 918 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If we can't win the league the next main thing is Rangers get European football back and we look on the way to doing that. The Europa league might not be a huge money spinner but getting to the group stage is important in terms of building the clubs European standing again and giving the club a bit of extra income etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fully aware of where we've been and how far we've come under Warburton; I appreciate that. I did not expect us to win the league this season, this is a work in progress. That progress should be made with our heads down, focused. Not by fucking celebrating points dropped by Aberdeen and Hearts. They dropped points ten years ago, dropped points last season, this season and will regularly drop points forever because they are shite, second-rate, typical Scottish clubs that we shouldn't concern ourselves with, never mind celebrate being ahead of them. How are the tarriers being found out, by the way? The last I checked, they hadn't lost a league match. I wish they were being found out, but I fear that you're clutching at straws.

"Utter fucking pish" , your words and they describe your unrealistic ,arrogant attitude perfectly , get your dummy back in the pram and don't just talk about our recent demise but actually take those years into account.

If our performances under McCoist could be converted into a post, yours would be it; senseless, difficult to understand, aimless and shite. How on earth, from my posts, you've taken that I believe we have a devine right to be at the top is beyond me. I genuinely struggle to see where you've pulled that from. Did you make that up in the middle of your rant? Your post was a rant that made no sense and for that reason, I'll be maintaining my disliking for a topic which suggests Aberdeen and Hearts dropping points is worth a "cheers" and will in any way, shape or form improve my weekend.
