Empty It Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The celtic tribute act drying their tears with their big teams past results is peak minter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I figure that as an entirely impartial observer, I'd step in with actual statistics, to ascertain, scientifically, which of Hearts or St Mirren were more inclined to lie down to Celtic. So, taking the first Albert Kidd day as the starting point (and thus, giving Hearts the advantage), I counted up all those instances since then where St Mirren and Hearts lost to Celtic by 5 or more goals. The results are as follows: St Mirren 7th March 2020 20th October 2012 26th November 2011 28th February 2008 (7-0) 26th October 1991 8th October 1988 3rd May 1986 Total: 7 complete collapses at the hands of Celtic Heart of Midlothian 12th February 2020 3rd November 2018 2nd April 2017 1st December 2013 (7-0) 13th May 2012 25th August 2007 18th October 2003 18th November 2000 (6-1) Total: 8 abject capitulations to the green arsecheek Science confirms it. Of the two teams here, Heart of Midliedown are more inclined to drop their drawers when it comes to playing Celtic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point he makes is perfect: for teams such as St Mirren and Hearts, 5-0 humpings against Celtic are relatively frequent. If that result in 86 was the only time either team had lost 5-0 to Celtic, then perhaps a rat could be smelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was approaching my second birthday, and frankly couldn't give a f**k. But I can't ever imagine dishing out a slagging to any team (other than MAYBE Hibs) along the lines of 'Mind that time my team lost heavily to Celtic and Celtic won the league'. It's a bit weird, isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of St Mirren fans it's a complete non-happening. An end of season game that was a dead rubber to us. The reason it keeps coming up is because Hearts fans continue to hold onto the issue. As I said in another post, it wasn't until I lived in Edinburgh did I realise the level that some people take it to. Blame Dundee for beating you? Nope. Blame Hearts for losing? Nope. Blame another team that was beaten by the OF, a scoreline their own team has suffered on numerous occasions? Oh, aye, let's get right tore into them. Complete displacement. Overall, I honestly don't think ill or not of Hearts. In Edinburgh I was definitely on the green side, but then a lot of that was you lot wrapping yourselves in Union Jacks and parading pictures of the Queen in some attempt to goad the opposition, when in reality it was just full on cringe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts lost two cup finals and Scotland lost to England at the Euros. Being upset about things that happened when I was a toddler (as I'd imagine is roughly the case with 86 for most on this thread) is beyond me though. It carries no memory, no relevance, no benefit to me experientially if we'd won it. Edited August 8, 2021 by TheJTS98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll fall out with you if you mention the 2010 League Cup Final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
