You go into the season knowing you'll probably going to win it anyway? There's not a lot of surprise. I'm not so much meaning embarrassed about it but Celtic fans often talk about why other teams don't try compete when there's a glaring advantage from day 1 of each season. Of course teams are going to sit in, and mainly just write the game off and be happy to get past it. Apart from games once in a blue moon where Celtic are caught cold they just tend to win without much worry, is it really that fun or are Celtic fans just there in general. Like I already said if it was boring we wouldn’t be paying the money we do to go and support the team. Would you pay in excess of £600 for a season ticket just to be generally be there and be bored?

The winning is very important, we are just “lucky” to do it in such an entertaining way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more so meaning over the course of it all, I don't get how someone finds it fun. There's no mystery about the season, the highlight of the season is seeing who you get in the CL groups and then waiting to see if you mess it up enough to give Rangers a chance in the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye they complain about other teams not competing, then go into full blown meltdown mode on the odd occasion they draw or get beat. I very much enjoy the anticipation on a Saturday before the game knowing that we could either win or get pumped. Watching the polite applause that followed Celtic’s goals tonight, doesn’t seem like there is the same buzz (unless it’s Sevco or Champions League/Europa League/Conference league). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t exactly playing Dyche ball and we do have a relative abundance of attacking and talented players who are entertaining to watch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, 11 games to go nothing to get me off my seat, can't wait until we play Real Madrid again so we can happy clap their players off the park because our players are shite. Jack and victor behind me are starting to do my nut in, I like to just sit with my individual trifle and watch the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the knockouts once? Even then that's just going one round further in a cup. I wonder if Celtic fans would have more fun in a European Super League or something where they get to constantly 'improve' and have something to strive for whereas in the domestic league they've essentially completed it. The goals between lower Premiership teams/Championship teams etc are surely more exciting than Celtic maybe making it an extra round in a cup. Over the last 10 years I've seen Livi's goals be to survive at Championship level, fail, aim to win League 1, aim to stay in the Championship again and somehow get promoted, aim to survive in the Premiership, somehow get top 6 some seasons and now we're chasing Europe. Maybe I don't get it as I'm not a Celtic fan but it just seems a little boring for there to be so little surprises over a season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Into knockouts of the Champions League or at the very least looking to drop into the Europa and win it which has to be a realistic scenario given Rangers made that final just a season ago. I’ve been going to games regularly since 93/94 and in that time I’ve been to a European final, watched us beat Man U, Barcelona, Juventus and others. Saw 9 in a row and a quadruple treble and this season got to see us play in the Bernabeu. If that bores you then fair enough however I’ve had a great time and a f**k ton of memories to take to the grave Edited February 2, 2023 by Jinky67 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admit it, without Rangers/The Rangers you'd be bored shitless all season, like you were when they died and The Rangers played in the lower leagues. Course you'd celebrate watching Celtic lift League trophies, but they were easy wins and you know it. Pretty embarrassing for Scottish football really, having one team dominating it winning quadruple trebles. Just imagine what it would feel like if winning a domestic trophy felt like winning a European one, because that's what it feels like for us diddies when we win a cup, in Livi's case we may never get that feeling again, whereas Celtic fans will almost certainly be guaranteed winning at least one trophy every season, yawn..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
