    The thing that was annoying me was the Viaplay ads I heard in the lead up to the League Cup final where the voice-over guy kept on saying "Fit-bah" whereas I say (and always consider the correct way of saying it) "Fit-baw". The former always sounds to me like an English person trying to say it (like when Max Rushden does Fitba corner on the Guardian podcast).

    I was going to say the exact same thing about the Viaplay ad.  Felt really shoehorned in as well. "Its Scottish fitba and the bragging rights are at stake".

    John copper on bullseye (what a programme ,no game show today would have the presenter handing out cash prizes from a wedge from his pocket )a few weeks after being on the game show  he killed two people , had already killed two people before appearing on the show ,a cold case review and his appearance on the game show helped to convict him years later ,one of the pictures below was a police sketch from a witness at the time

    Similar thing happened in America with Rodney Alcala AKA The Dating Game Killer.

    Normal price at Easter Road (and elsewhere) for a game v Saints = half empty stadium

    Charge a tenner and a fiver and it is a near sellout 

    Hmmm....

    Just to play devils advocate here it would be interesting to see how many people are going as it is a cheap one-off compared to how many would go if the prices were that cheap week in, week out.

  4. We are different people. You are happy to support a team that has a vast financial  advantage over 10 of the other 11 teams in the league, to the point where (in my opinion) the satisfaction that can be taken from any success is negated by the amount of money spent in order to achieve it.
     
    If St Mirren had a Scottish Cup tie against a Lowland League club for example, and after a poor display we score a 94th minute winner I can guarantee the support wouldn’t be acting anything like the way the Celtic fans were today. I’m not saying you can’t celebrate the goal, obviously a last minute winner will be celebrated, but to have such a massive financial advantage like Celtic did today over St Johnstone, and have pitch invasions, fans chasing after players to hug them, guys running about with their tops off is just strange imo. That’s not even mentioning the players over dancing at the end of the game like they had just qualified for the Champions League final. 
     
    Im not expecting you to agree with me because I imagine you’ve been a Celtic fan for a few years and all that will seem normal to you, but that’s just my opinion. From the outside looking in it seems like most Celtic victories are very hollow achievements, and deep down in the back of their minds the fans know this, so they overcompensate when celebrating things like today so they can all kid on to themselves that what they done was worthy of pitch invasions etc, and not the reality that a team stacked with international players and bought for a combined £50 million quid, scored a last minute goal to see off a team that was put together for almost nothing.
    If that’s something you can genuinely take satisfaction from then fair play, you are correct and we are not the same. I think the novelty of regularly sticking 4 or 5 goals past 10 teams in the league not even remotely on the same level as you, season after season, would wear pretty thin quite quickly for me. 

    People always seem to forget in these instances why matches are played i.e. to contest who wins the league. If Celtic hadn’t scored that last minute goal then rangers would have been level on points. Surely you realise the fans are celebrating winning the game in the 96th minute and taking 3 points rather than specifically beating St.Johnstone?

    I see Ange Postecoglou is in the Times today saying that other Scottish teams need to do more in Europe.

    Glasgow Celtic:

    - Lost seven of fourteen games last year

    - Were knocked out of three competitions

    - Haven’t won a knockout tie since 2004, a date that is closer to the Chernobyl disaster than it is to the present day

    Any quotes backing this up or are you just going off the clickbait headline?

    "As well as this there has been a continual failure from anyone – Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen – to systematically believe they could challenge the status quo. All the non-Old Firm pack start off each season with the belief that the best they can do is finish third in the league and maybe win a cup: it is a philosophy which breeds being second-best and not trying to win."

    Fair enough mate.  "not trying to win" good grief.
