Really odd for a Raith fan to be so triggered by Aberdeen Well, I suppose I am a little "triggered" by Aberdeen. It would be nice just for once to see a club (any fucking club) go on a decent run and at least mount a challenge for 2nd place. Here we are in a unique season and what a great opportunity to further embarrass a Celtic team imploding by the day. But nah, we're all to familiar with Aberfuckingdeen and their tendency to f**k things up. Such a spineless club who in the grand scheme of things mean f**k all and are certainly no 3rd force. Mon the Hibs for 2nd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 5 hours ago, Dunning1874 said: While you're absolutely right that Lennon has failures at either end of this and that is hilarious, it's not true to say Rangers were drastically curtailing outgoings in 2010/11. While Celtic spent more, they spent about £6M that summer including £4M on Nikica Jelavic. In all but one of the four seasons with Smith in charge they spent more on transfers than they received - a significant reduction in spending never happened. Still, the point stands that if Celtic hadn't got their managerial appointments so badly wrong after Strachan they could have already been on consecutive titles. None of the hagiographies of Lawwell in the media seem to have mentioned Celtic's appalling track record in managerial appointments in his tenure - Strachan, Mowbray, Lennon, Deila, Rodgers then Lennon again. Two good appointments out of seven in an era when they could have been establishing themselves as an insurmountably dominant force in Scotland and a fixture in the Champions League. Yes, that's probably fair. "Drastic curtailment" probably wasn't the correct phrase. I certainly recall that they were even trying to re-sign Daniel Cousin in the days immediately before entering admin. At the same time though, I thought debt had been reduced along the lines outlined by Bennett. I do remember the bleating about Lloyds making all the decisions, while fans hilariously claimed to "deserve better". I think where Lennon deserves blame for that era too, is that Celtic were financially stronger than Rangers by then, but he still managed to lose the title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the Hibs for 2nd. Rangers fans like Hibs? Odd but ok. Hate to tell you this but that club has a phrase named after them based on bottling every big game (see St Johnstone semi final in the past fortnight). Also the Sevco franchise lost to St Mirren in the cup with Celtic already out no? Sounds like bottling to me. Plus Sevco spending tens of millions again to not win any trophy in the past 2 seasons (plus at least 1 of 3 this season) sounds like bottling to me too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost the other semi this season to a lower division rival who dominate you (more bottle issues against them). You lost cup finals to Livingston and Ross County in recent memory. You bottle playing Aberdeen almost every time - 3 wins against us in the last 24 games going back to 2012). Also. "Hibsed it". We lost some finals to a team who have won everything in Scotland for years. Nice try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 This is probably too tragic to laugh at. It's Roger Mitchell, erstwhile head of The SPL, casting the loss of The Ten not as a footballing blip but as a failure of the Catholic people of Glasgow to fulfil their ambitions.

Spending 2 minutes skim-reading his Twitter confirmed both of those impressions to be accurate, plus a big dose of Celtic bestteamintheworldbestfansintheworldparadisecelticdaft exceptionalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
