By your logic then that should render at least 50% of all title and trophy wins as hollow as, all over football teams that contest finals and compete for league titles tend to be the clubs with greater financial resources, that isn't always the case and there is some merit in the suggestion that a small club upsetting the odds to lift a trophy is, in juxtaposition a greater achievement but winning twelve straight trophies, regardless of any financial muscle is still a pretty special feat, dry your eyes mate. Yes, effectively every trophy Celtic have won in the last 9-years has been meaningless. In every country there is a disparity in financial strength, but in Scotland the gap between Celtic and everyone else is enormous. Celtic fans wrongly point to countries like Germany and Italy, and argue that Bayern Munich and Juventus have won countless league titles in a row, so therefore pessimists should start complaining about the disparity in resources in these countries. Well it's a crap comparison. Juventus have the likes of both Milan teams, Lazio, Roma and Napoli to compete against. Celtic's main competitor in recent years has been Aberdeen. That tells you all you need to know about how meaningless Celtic's "success" in Scotland is 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells you all you need to know about how meaningless Celtic's "success" in Scotland is Worth pointing out Aberdeen have the 3rd biggest budget in Scotland, and Celtic's budget is SEVEN TIMES Aberdeen's. Its about twenty times Hearts'. There are no other leagues with that level of disparity. A club like Motherwell have a budget of about £6-7 million, Celtic have about £100-120. Its off the charts, my mum could win the title with Celtic until Rangers were a force again which is only recently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But belittling what is a very impressive achievement in winnning 12 domestic trophies in a row is just plain weird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) As a neutral, I found it an engrossing watch. I thought it was going to be a walkover, but Hearts really made a great fist of it. Again, looking on as neutral, the one thing I will take away from this surreal Covid-affected final is definitive confirmation that Steven Naismith and Scott Brown are a couple of utter bellends.

Karpaty Lviv Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 As it’s last seasons competition, surely it would be last seasons rules? Ie 3 subs and one extra for extra time. Celtic made 6 today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really should have played the match with 10 men on each side and had Brown and Naismith in a ring knocking shit out of each other for half time entertainment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did they retrospectively increase last season's Scottish Cup SFs & Final to 5... this season's cup is only 3 subs, even though leagues and other cups are 5 subs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when you're a league above us, the small-time mentality confirms your Hibs credentials. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Question regarding the subs. You are allowed 5, but over 3 stoppages I've got that. And an additional sub is allowed in ET. So that's 6 subs in 4 stoppages thay should be allowed. How come Celtic made 6 in 5 stoppages, am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only accurate part of that post is that Aberdeen have the 3rd largest budget - the rest is made up shite to suit your agenda. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
