The point is that celebrating like a mad thing when you have a massive unassailable advantage over every other competitor is the sign of a no-mark. You lot celebrate like you're the downtrodden underdogs for some reason. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To compare a professional football team, beating other professional football teams to the worlds greatest sprinter beating school kids at running is baffling! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry. I honestly don't know what's so difficult to understand about this or why you are finding it so difficult to use an analogy to establish a basic principle. Winning against an equally matched or superior competitor is a greater achievement than winning against a far weaker competitor. The greater the achievement, the more celebration is called for. Everyone except you and your sisters in blue seem to grasp this. I suspect it's due to the massive inferiority complexes that led you to support these two vile teams in the first place. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, how would you like Celtic to celebrate? Also, curious as to how you believe we do celebrate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hypocrisy is delicious dodgy Dave took away a full stand because he couldn't bare watching Celtic celebrate. Now we can't even celebrate in our own ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 1. With enough dignity to realise that scudding 4 or 5 goals past St Mirren or Dundee really isn't that much of achievement for a club with Celtic's resources. 2. As if you've just won the Champions League when really you've scored a 7th goal at home to Albion Rovers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much difference between Sellik and the old Rangers. At least you did it with your own money. 3 hours ago, RPHG said: Nope, I meant won every trophy.

The discussion was about Celtic fans celebrating as if it was a great achievement to 'win' trophies in Scotland when in reality you are 'buying' them. For you to then say you'd won EVERY trophy you'd been involved in - but ignore the one you didn't because, well, you couldn't afford it, is rather hypocritical wouldn't you say? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find when we beat smaller clubs like Motherwell the celebrations are a lot less than when we beat Barcelona or Manchester Utd. You've made something up in your head that doesn't happen and you're passing it off as fact. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at no point argued that Celtic shouldn't win domestic trophies, we have more resource and I agree we should win them. Knock out tournaments are un-predictable and therefore to keep winning these tournaments is unusual. But to say we shouldn't celebrate is ridiculous.
